 It is time play to games fast once again. Awesome Games Done Quick is currently underway and there have already been some entertaining runs. Jet Set Radio Future Any% (Xbox) ran by Yomsa with 7thace and Twinkachu on commentary showcased some really sick movement and a secret boss that was only discovered in the past couple of years. The Cult Classic Horror game Clock Tower (Super Famicom) S Ending was ran by Ecdycis and portrayed a great use of Text Box and Item manipulation that allowed for many long sequences to be bypassed while getting the game's coveted secret ending. Not to mention the treat that was the Glitched D ending incentive that was utilizing the same tech in order to beat the game in under three minutes while showing how you can save all your friends in the process.  These are just two of the many runs that have already gone on through the first day and part of the second day. And that train is not gonna stop for the rest of the week either. While I love doing ...

 Recently, I played through both of The Evil Within titles including the DLC for the first game. And in my experience I found the writing of the first game to be lackluster, but filled with interesting set pieces and level design that made me wanting more when it wasn't dragging. So, combat sections really didn't do it for me and there were plenty of rooms that forced you into them. With Sebastian as the main character, it is hard to really discern why he is even a part of this situation. None of the worlds and memories are really his own in this game and it shows because many of the places make no sense. You are simply being transported across the land while killing the horrors of STEM. While Ruben Victoriano is an exceptional villain, Sebastian Castellanos is so not him in that first game in particular. The saving grace of the game comes in the DLC centered around Mobius Agent, Juli Kidman. Since I don't really jive with the plot of The Evil Within base game, I want to fo...

 A little over a week ago I decided that I was going to clean up the last of the achievements in Fallout: New Vegas. Not my favorite Fallout out of the 3D titles, but one that I don't mind playing again. Many of my remaining achievements were ending and faction based, so there was not much trouble there. The big hurdle was going through the casino bans and caravan games because I had always found them to be annoying and wasteful of my time.  Much of my early time was sitting at the Blackjack tables or farming Ringo for Caravan wins. Without the helpful guides that have been made over the years and watching Fallout related videos on YouTube, I probably would have left the game unfinished. While Caravan can be gamed pretty easily, getting kicked out of the three major casinos is tedious. This was especially true when the dealer top decks an ace and a face or 10 card. It really made the experience feel like a chore more than an achievement. On the upside, the money I got for this...
