Platformer From Hell (XBLIG): "A Man & His Epic Journey For a Pastrami Sandwich"

If you've followed some of my previous indie platformer reviews you'll know that I'm not a fan of the "Impossible" sub-genre. I find myself agitated enough by the online tomfoolery I encounter on a daily basis that tackling such a game would only irritate me further. Regardless of my stance on such games I still like to give XBLIG titles a proper chance, if they are original enough. I think Hoosier Games' latest "impossible" platformer, "Platformer From Hell" is probably the most original one I've seen thus far. The plot, or background story is so off-the-wall that it pulls you in, and makes you want to try over and over to complete it. Thinking back on my brief playthrough, I never really got angry. I think the unique visual design, and overall look intrigued me enough to do my best. Without going on too much further though let us get into the core of this review ...

Dwarfing the Trolls

By now most of you have heard me voice my opinions about the declining quality of online gaming. I have even commented on some of Youtube's top Trolling channels (SUK, Whiteboy7thst ...) voicing my concerns to the online gaming community in hopes that someone might actually listen. I know that some gamers agree with what I'm saying while others are mindlessly obsessed with the current trend of "Trolling". As a last ditch effort I have devised a plan to thwart the threat of Trolling, and have set it into motion. You'll find that the current feature video on my Youtube channel (otakudante) tells you all about my plans as well as tips on how to deal with Trolls. I have deemed my own trend as "Dwarfing", and have explained it's origins in the description of the video. Below you will find a portion of the description that accompanies my latest Youtube video. It describes methods of "Dwarfing" Trolls, and explains the nature of the trend. Please, for the love of all that is sacred in gaming!!! Spread the word, and get Dwarfing trending for the sake of future gaming generations!

We Made It!!! It's 2013!!!

Greetings to all my readers! I realize I'm a little late in delivering my new years greeting, but I figured it's the best way to let you know my plans for this year. As most of you know I mentioned back in December 2012 that I would possibly be doing PSN reviews as well as the usual Xbox 360 reviews since I got a new PS3 for Christmas. I still plan on following through with that, but at the current time there are no noteworthy PS3, or PSN games being released. In fact I'd go so far as to say the selection of new games for the PS3 pales in comparison to that of Microsoft's Xbox 360. Hopefully things will pick up soon though, because I want to try out delivering some of those PS3/PSN reviews.

Merry Christmas! & Blog Update!!!

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all my friends & followers! This morning I was blessed enough to find a very special present from my mother. Before leaving last night she left a PS3 holiday bundle under my humble Christmas tree. I unboxed it this morning, and set everything up in preparation for some long awaited PS3 gaming. I will have to wait until I download the massive amounts of PSN games & PSN Minis before I can enjoy the system properly though. This will no doubt take a full day, or more to do. In the meantime I will visit with family, and enjoy the Christmas holiday to it's fullest. Even with all this good news though there is still the looming threat of incoming severe weather, and possible tornadoes for my area today. Hopefully things will go by smoothly for me, and my family with no disasters resulting from the weather onslaught.

Holiday Greetings From Some Devs!!!

As I've been browsing Twitter, and all the other social sites today I've noticed that for the most part everyone is in good spirits. People are spreading the cheer through their tweets, and even their youtube videos. In fact this morning during my routine Youtube channel surfing I found that my good friend from overseas, Dragon had uploaded such a video. It was something that added a small amount of joy to my gloomy day. As most of you who follow me know I live in an area that's plagued by the worst sort of weather. This Christmas we are supposed to have some severe weather which could bring destruction along with it. It's a scary, and very real concern for me that my Christmas might not turn out to be so great as a result. Regardless of this dreadful future friends, followers, and game developers continue to wish me the best, and I sincerely appreciate it. I wanted to take the time, and share the three digital greeting cards that I got from "Firebase Industries (@FirebaseIND)", "NeocoreGames" & "Gentlemen Squid Studio". I hope that you all enjoy this holiday to it's fullest. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all & a Happy New Year!!!
