Oh dear Lawd, there's a Final Fantasy XIII-2...

Written by Random J •

I've been shaking my head constantly for the past hour. I've been trying to stop, because I'm getting pains in my neck. But I just can't!! Final f**king Fantasy XIII-2. If any of you are surprised, then you should be slapped with a frozen gyshall green across your face. Final Fantasy X and XII both got direct sequels in what now seems to be a franchise trend. And with Final Fantasy XIII's inconclusive ending which made you think "They're so gonna try and sequelize this shit now..." along with "Damn. I just completed the most boring shit ever and am having to now be serenaded by Leona Lewis" - it was also disclosed that a great deal of content was left out of the original game, enough to  make another in fact. Enter, XIII-2.


Why is Lighting now some kind of Knight? Who is the dark haired dude who looks like a cross between Laguna and Kuja. How the hell is Lightning supposed to do her back flips and shit in that armour? Damn, did Lightning just show some leg and some booty!? All questions will be answered on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in about 2 years time.

Whether this game is crap or the best thing either, I'll be buying it. Simply because it's Final Fantasy. I'm that shallow. Don't judge me. You know you're buying this too.

    I can't deny it. I will buy this too. Hell I HATED FFXII but I STILL bought it's DS sequel, on the release day, full price...haven't touched it since so the thought of my wasted cash stares me in the face everytime I look at my games collection!

    I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry at this news, I'm intrigued 'cos I did enjoyed FFXIII more than XII but still, my god, after everything Square has done in the past year, you can't help but feel negative about it. I took a day off to buy FFXIII and play it for 6 hours straight, uninterupted, don't know if I'll do it for this though.

    Lightning, to me, looks like a cross between Sophitia from Soul Calibur and Valkyrie from the Valkyrie Profile series. My favourite part of the trailer was the music though, which was also my favourite part of the first game too!

    Lightning looks cool, as does the new dude. But I'm not all too sure I'll be buying this. Definitely not anytime around launch. If I do buy it, I'm getting it on discount.

    FFXIII left me with such a bad taste in my mouth.

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.
