First Impressions: Ghost of Yotei – Can It Live Up to Tsushima's Legacy?

When it comes to samurai-inspired video games, Ghost of Tsushima didn’t just raise the bar—it redefined it. So naturally, going into Ghost of Yotei, my expectations were sky-high. I’ve spent about 10 hours with the game so far, and while there's definitely potential, I can’t help but feel like something’s missing. Where Tsushima pulled players into a deeply emotional journey—balancing the weight of honor, tradition, and inner conflict—Yotei leans heavily into a straightforward revenge narrative. And while revenge stories can hit hard (just look at The Last of Us Part II), Yotei doesn’t quite land with the same emotional depth... at least not yet. That said, there are things I do love about the game so far. The constant combat keeps...

The Madden Bowl 2025 and Using Custom Playbooks

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Its been a HECTIC past few months with life's up's and down's. Anyone see the Madden 25 Bowl on Twitch?  Spoiler Alert!, Fancy won! he had a great mix of runs with Saquon Barkley and the Fridge Perry at goaline.  Question - playing with a Custom Playbook online in Madden considered Cheating? Some may not think so, but I say Hell Yes!  No one is allowed to use a custom playbook in any tournament. That is clearly a breach and even how ridiculous is someone putting a WR as a corner or safety.  I came across a similar situation when i watched a twitch stream whom i watch nightly and his...

FF7 Rebirth: Replaying Skipped Missions

Another thing i failed to completed on my initial run were the robotic challenges. They are called Gears and Gambit. I must admit, Youtube was my go-to honestly for these Gears challenges. i found the setting up and organizing the robotics to be a tad complicated, more than queens blood.

FFVII Rebirth: Entering Nibel Region

The Nibel Region is full of FFVII nastalgia. From the return to the spooky castle where you played with Zack in Crisis Core to entering Clouds and Tifa's house. The back story further developes when you learn new details of Chocobo Sam, Aerith's mom having a relationship with Cid (the pilot) and learning of the importance of the Black Materia.  Things I like: Blue Chocobos make life easier to navigate. You can now fly/float with these chocobo types and it makes getting stuck in a moutain a thing of the past. Finding locations are much more enjoyable.  The feens are a bit more difficult and allow for better materia strategy amongst the group.  Cait Sith gets some camera time. Cait...

FF7 Rebirth: Gongaga Difficulties

Lets start by saying... this environment is very tricky.  it can get difficult finding locations on the map due to the trees and not having a chocobo. until midway of the level. After defeating Scarlet is when you can finally unlock a chocobo going forward.  Here is the biggest tip i can give you in Gongaga:  Apply and Keep the Access Materia on throughout no matter what. As you go along you can scan enemies along the way.. you will thank me for this.  Picking the correct Mushroom for Cisne can be VERY VERY annoying.  Go to your system setting and Turn the music to 0.  Listen for the portions of the mushroom that crackle the loudest. Those areas are going...
