Legend Of Dragoon Took 65 Pretty Cool Hours Of My Life I Won’t Get Back

Published November 29, 2016 by E. Zachary Knight

A few months back, I started playing Legend of Dragoon for the PS1 for the first time. I had the first three of four disks sitting on my game shelf for years and just needed an excuse to start playing. Had I actually played that, I would have been able to borrow disk four from my brother. However, I was planning on buying that disk somewhere at sometime. That didn’t work out. Instead, I bought the game through the PSN store as a PS1 classic game.

It sat for a few months in my PSN library waiting for me to play it, but I never got around to it. Playing it on my PS3 was kind of a pain because my kids used the PS3 for TV and movies as well as Minecraft. The couple of hours I had after they went to bed were often spent spending time with my wife or working on my side projects. That all changed when I got my PSP. I picked it up at a thrift store for $8 and had to replace the battery for another $9. It was probably the best gaming hardware investment I ever made. I now had the freedom to play all those PS1 classics at will and I decided to start with Legend of Dragoon.

Ghostbusters’ nifty 3D gimmick that Sony didn’t advertise

Published August 5, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

“Would you like to see the 3D presentation of Ghostbusters?” my mom asked as we headed to pick up our tickets for an opening night screening of the new film.

“Nah,” I said. “I like 3D just fine but not enough to justify an extra $4 on the already absurd ticket prices.” (What can I say? I’m cheap.)

If I’d only known…

GameStop makes me SO MAD I want to hurl obscenities!!!

Published June 30, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

My sister bought me a PS3 the Christmas before last and I’ve been happily catching up on many of the cool games I’ve missed (Sega’s Yakuza games are great; give them a try!). Unfortunately, after only a mere 18 months, my PS3 controller has decided that the left stick should randomly send a “left” signal to the console. This means that I often can’t run in a straight line or aim with any accuracy and navigating menus is a pain because the cursor keeps zooming to the left.

There doesn’t appear to be anything physically broken. The stick isn’t loose, for example. And it’s not a matter of the stick not being calibrated properly because the “left” signal can emit regardless of the stick’s position. I tried resetting the controller and that didn’t help. Over the past few weeks, it’s gotten worse. The errant “left” signal is stronger and more frequent.

Well, the PS3’s warranty is only for one year so I guess I’m going to have to buy a new controller.

Yeah, about that…

A Look Back At E3 By This Hardcore Casual Gamer

Published June 22, 2016 by E. Zachary Knight

As I sat and watched E3 this year, I had this nagging feeling at the back of my mind. As each game was introduced and I saw trailers and gameplay footage, this feeling got stronger and stronger. I couldn’t shake it. But I couldn’t quite place it for a while though. Then about halfway through Microsoft’s press event, it finally dawned on me what I was feeling. So I put it in a tweet.
