Final Fantasy VII


Join me on the adventure of a generation, and we will play through one of the greatest games ever made. 

Cloud Strife, a SOLDIER with a troubled past must heal the planet, and his own fractured psyche, in order to achieve victory. 

In 1997, I wanted nothing more than this game. I didn't have a PlayStation, but my family had just purchased a new PC that could actually run the insane 3d. The machine was shared by all four members of my family, so I had to negotiate playtime (also I was 12). Late at night, I would sneak down the dark corridor through the center of the house, and into the computer room. With everyone sleeping, I would mute the speakers in preparation of the Windows 98 start-up chimes. The monitor remained black until everything was ready, and I would play my game for a few extra hours.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Launch Party


Last Update: 7:11pm

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth launches in about 18 hours or so. Check back here for the stream when it's actually out.

I've already pre-purchased the game, and I got a discount (-33%) for owning the original Isaac. If you don't have these games, now (right now) is the time to get 'em.

Until tomorrow, I'll be playing Wrath of the Lamb in preparation, as well as Organ Trail: Director's Cut, on twitch.tv/Robot2600

The Isaac games are made by the Super Meat Boy guys (and other people). Random Zelda dungeon, these games are that exactly but better.
