~It’s the most wonderful month of the yeeeeear~<\/p>\n
Well, it was<\/em>. October is fine\u00a0too, but let’s reminisce on some of the ways I kept busy during September.<\/p>\n Mega Man 4<\/strong> (NES) – I had to. I just had to!<\/em><\/p>\n Mega Man 5<\/strong> (NES) – It’s the boringest Mega Man, but it’s still pretty darn good.<\/p>\n Mega Man 6<\/strong> (NES) – Yes, I have a sickness. Leave me alone.<\/p>\n Super Mario Bros 3<\/strong> (NES) – Played it while waiting for Super Mario Maker. Somehow, this is my least-played Mario game, so I often forget how superb<\/em> it is.<\/p>\n Monument Valley<\/strong> (iOS) – Speaking of superb, holy cow why did I wait so long to play this? It’s just barely a puzzle game, but the gimmick is good enough to support it to the end. Which comes really quickly, but before it gets boring.<\/p>\n Xeodrifter<\/strong> (WiiU) – I played and beat it on 3DS earlier this year, but apparently it was so bland that I forgot to log it. Anyway, it was released on Wii U recently and I got it for free so I gave it another go. It’s just as average as ever, but it looks really nice on a giant TV.<\/p>\n Year Walk<\/strong> (WiiU) – I felt October creeping up,\u00a0and knew that it was\u00a0time to start busting out the horror games. This one is a little more subtle about said horror, but it does pack a couple of jumpscares, so playing it at night was definitely a bad idea for me. Otherwise, it was an excellent game, with a completely unexpected second half.<\/p>\n Little Inferno<\/strong> (WiiU) – I questioned how much fun a replay of Little Inferno could be, but booted it up anyway. Turns out, it melted away an entire afternoon before I even realized it. So yeah, it’s just as good<\/a> as the first time around. Not as surprising, but still totally zen.<\/p>\n Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows<\/strong> (3DS) – Quite possibly the best DLC ever made. Plague Knight is an absolute blast<\/em> to play, changes the gameplay significantly, and is a surprisingly lovable character. Shovel Knight may very well now be my Most Favouritest Game Ever. And there are still two more free<\/em>\u00a0DLC campaigns on the way…<\/p>\n Super Mario Maker<\/strong> (WiiU) – And to think that initially, I didn’t want this. Now my brain is constantly thinking about new levels to make, even while working and sleeping. I can’t shut it off!<\/p>\n Chrono Trigger<\/strong> (DS) – Still working toward a complete set of endings. It was going\u00a0at a\u00a0good clip\u00a0until Super Mario Maker happened… I’m at 11\/13.<\/p>\n Splatoon<\/strong> (WiiU) – The only problem with Splatoon is that I waited until two days before Mario Maker to buy it. Otherwise, I can finally understand why people sink so many hours into online shooters. It is lovely and perfect and has some incredible music.<\/p>\n Woah Dave!<\/strong> (3DS) – Sometimes you just need to kick back with a simple arcade-style game. And Woah Dave!\u00a0is just a heck of a lot of fun. Also I’m terrible<\/em> at it. My high score is like $1.<\/p>\n Fallout: New Vegas<\/strong> (PC) – Also making feeble amounts of progress here. Level 13, I think? And I haven’t even been to New Vegas proper yet.<\/p>\n Driv3r<\/strong> (XBOX) – Terrible. Poop from a butt. Will not be finishing this one. …Probably<\/em>.<\/p>\n Metal Arms: Glitch in the System<\/strong> (XBOX) – I really don’t know how I missed this one back in the day. Maybe Nintendo Power just never covered it? It’s not really a hidden gem or anything, but it is a perfectly adequate third-person shooter, filled with goofy robots. Right up my alley. Just passed the first boss (who is several hours in…).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ~It’s the most wonderful month of the yeeeeear~ Well, it was.
