Oooo, she's a sexy beee-yitch!

Bayonetta. Love her, or hate her. She's a diva. Female version of a hustla
I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with Bayonetta. On one hand I think it looks amazing and hella fun. But on the other hand, the game just stinks of Devil may cry. And I'm no fan of Devil may cry.

Despite Bayonetta essentially looking like Devil may cry with different characters, I'm a little drawn to it. Maybe it's the lead character being a female who can do flips, open her legs, make orgasmic moans as she impales the undead and strips off as she summons demons. Or perhaps it's the flair the game has. Hmmm... It's probably the female part. But Bayonetta is a game I'm now beginning to keep a keen eye on. I even downloaded the Devil may cry 4 demo thinking it'd be tangible. It wasn't, for the record. It was a waste of my bandwidth.

Famitsu recently reviewed the game and gave it a perfect 40 score. Well, the Xbox 360 version got a perfect 40 score. The PlayStation 3 version got a score of 38. Graphical differences and frame rate issues caused the Fammy reviewers to knock a couple of points off.

Bayonetta's gone from looking like a clone, to a stand out in its own right. Will I buy this, or won't I? I'm still on the fence on this one. But Bayonetta is a game I do genuinely want to play.

Once the demo hits the UK Xbox LIVE marketplace, I'll be sure to download it, and then take it all from there.

    I'm currently on the fence myself. I just don't know about this one yet for some reason. It looks way too much like Devil May Cry, so it needs to do something different.

    That sounds like a plan. I have so many games backed up waiting to play (including DMC 1,3 & 4) that I can't say I'll play it for definite. Saying I'll definitely play something seems to be the kiss of death for that particular game as far as I'm concerned. I was "definitely going to play" Ghostbusters, Arkham Asylum and Mortal Kombat vs. DC... hmmmm!

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake | The Real Housewives of Avalanche

Written by Random J •
So, originally I had written part of this as a '7 days with Final Fantasy VII Remake' piece, because I had thoughts that I felt compelled to type and share with all 2 people who know of this wasteland of blog. But I was so close to the end and had heard 'whispers' about the ending to this game, so figured I should just complete the damn thing so I can talk about all the things. And now here I am. Ready to talk about it all. This Review will be chock-a-block full of spoilers. So if you've not played the game yet, then read on at your own risk.
