Seiken Densetsu 3 (聖剣伝説3) is the third installment in the Mana series. It’s the sequel to Secret of Mana, which is the entry into the series that most North American gamers would be familiar with...

For the first five quarters that this book was out in the wild, I was posting publication numbers any time I got a royalty statement from Packt Publishing for Redmine Plugin Extension and Developme...

I had this game finished around Christmas, but I find my motivation for writing these articles is starting to languish. I’m hoping to get that spark back with the next couple of titles i’ll be tack...

I’ve been waiting write this review for a very long time. I love the Final Fantasy series, and although I got the original back in ‘90, I didn’t really fall in love with the series until I played...

I finally got around to adding an Anime section to this blog where I can track my Plex library. Since this is the first post, I figure I’ll just list of what I’ve worked my way through in the past...

This review has been a long time coming; a VERY long time coming. I heard about Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals when I was still in high school, and have been meaning to play it ever since. Back...

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time, as I officially got the royalty statement at the end of June, but I’ve been a bit busy with life, contracts and the occasional 16-bit era JRPG ...

I’m excited to finally be able to review this game, as it’s the direct sequel to the game that got me into RPGs way back in 1990-91. When I say Final Fantasy II, I literally mean the second game...

Following on the heels of my playthrough of the original Breath of Fire, I’ve just finished Breath of Fire II. Originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, BoF2 is the ...

I just wanted to share a quick story as someone who occasionally publishes stuff (both in print and on the internets). I’ve never really given Reddit a fair chance. Every time I would go there, it...

My original plan for my next playthrough was going to be Daganronpa, but after making it to chapter 5, I got caught up in an phone upgrade bricking (at least Wind ended up replacing my phone) fiasc...

It’s been over a year since this book was published, and I didn’t think it would see the type of success it has. Based on this last statement, I’m officially eligible to start collecting royalti...

It’s been a number of years since I had a chance to look at this project, but recently I updated the codebase to the latest version (sync with upstream ScummVM) and found that the videos no longer ...

I’ve been doing a lot of Powershell scripting lately, and one of the features I’ve really been pining for is the ability to apply some form of retry logic to either a function or a block. Take the...

As someone in their thirties with a family, my personal gaming time is somewhat limited. As a result, I need to be a bit more selective with what I choose to sink any free time into; and grinding i...

I’d love to say Christmas came early this year, but it looks like sales of Redmine Plugin Extension and Development didn’t quite hit the numbers needed to actually result in a royalty cheque. Ah we...

I just want to start off by saying how much I LOVE Git. I’ve been working with it for a number of years now (coming from Subversion and sharing code on Google Code and SourceForge) and have fully e...

Although I haven’t used my SourceForge account in a number of years, when I started working with ScummVM, that’s where the code and issue tracker were, so that’s where the development community was...

I was planning on writing this review a while ago, but it turns out I nuked my phone and lost my progress so I had to start all over again. I originally started this on 2014-09-26, but I kind of lo...
