Introduction

An introduction to my blog would be a nice start. I have been blogging for some time, but I think that posting here would be more beneficial to myself than using WordPress. So, what is there to expect from me here, then?

I'm a gamer who's interested in reviewing games, performing game theorizing (not to be confused with Mat Pat's work), and generally blogging about complaints as I meet them in day-to-day gaming or just talking about gaming ideas and thoughts in general in 500-1000 word blurbs. My reason for writing as much as that in a blurb is to sharpen my writing skills and offer enough space for myself to both get a bit carried away sometimes, and also to analyze something if it bothers me or intrigues me. If that sort of content interests you, consider sticking around and keeping an eye out. My first blog here is going to start up tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that. =3

Undertale?! A theory on why most monsters don't dodge or seem to be attacking

This is something that occurred to me that most people have probably already thought up at this point and figured out before me. So why am I doing it? It's my blog, that's why. I can do what I want! But I digress, let me explain what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that monsters rarely move when they're attacking the character, yet attacks come flying at the character anyway. The monsters also don't make much effort to dodge, outside of one particular skeleton that I'll get into later here. Well, why don't they make physical moves? The reason, I realized, was pretty obvious. They use magic, all monsters do. Whether it be bones from Papyrus, laser spears from Undyne, fireballs from Toriel and Asgore...the times that actual physical moves are displayed actually become rather obvious, with the monster above the movement box swinging their weapon down into the movement box, or otherwise making other motions, like Sans does when he's fling...

Why is "streamlining" games a bad thing? - Personal Rant

A complaint wandering about the MMO side of gaming is that such games are becoming "too streamlined" to be fun. Well, how is this meant? That's where it gets tricky to talk about, because lots of MMO's have done streamlining to their benefit. Others have fallen from grace in the eyes of many because of doing what they called "streamlining" the game. World of Warcraft, for instance, has become infamous for how it has toned down much of its content. But what does it mean to "streamline" something and how is it used for MMO gaming? To streamline something is to, in this instance, make an operation, machine or system more effective and efficient by implementing faster or simpler working methods. In most instances, we would think of this as a good thing. Having a game flow faster as a result of having to think less about the mechanics and instead focusing more on the actual gameplay seems to be a common popularity trope within games. Games become more...

Upcoming Reviews: Uncharted?

I'm contemplating reviewing the Uncharted series for this blog. I've played the 4th one recently, but because of the story nature of the games and the fact that they are highly acclaimed, what would I be adding by talking my opinions...? Then again...I've talked about other wildly popular games so far and they were games that had many people's opinions scribbled all over them, so what else would be new for the course? Expect a series of reviews to come out in a little while, depending on how inspired I feel to write them. I don't expect anyone to care, but...ya know.
