So Red Earth was an arcade only fighting game sort of RPG dealie... A few years ago it was released on the Capcom Fighting Game Collection.

It is very fun.

This time I played as Tessa, a witch who fights with the aid of her various pets.

Contains flatulence and a nappy change.

While taking a pre-appraisal breather I play the entire GG Aleste series of Game Gear Shmups. The one developed in 2020 is the best one, surprising nobody I'm sure.

I actually get to a battle, although I still didn't know how it really works. One of those actual complicated games apparently.

Still doing all the jobby jobber jobs at what still feels like the very start of the game. I fight lizard people, gargoyles, trees, wolves, my own inability to read a map and the urge to sleep after too many interrupted nights.

Back on PS3 mech games. This one is made primarily for online play so obviously I'm playing it ten years too late. Also I'm not good at it.

Oh dear this one is long. I should perhaps consider fewer episodes that are actually produced... But then when would I play videogames?

So I mostly rant incoherently about One Piece and being an aging anime fan in general. To the point where for the last twenty minutes I'm not even playing the game. By the way the game is REALLY FUCKING GOOD.

I mention Dragoon Effect in this episode, and yeah Ben isn't NOCKAT (Who is?), but his show is significantly better than this. Also he actually finished Legend of Dragoon. You should put down your dishes and go find that in your podcatcher of choice.

So doing the usual "kill X number of creatures" sort of thing, hence just doing bits and pieces over my first day or so with the game. Slightly worried it will be thoroughly boring, also I need to find a good thing to go between entries.

This was going to be the kind of journal type format I do for 7th Saga but I sort of didn't do it... Might do for future updates.

By the way you can all blame Bill of RPG Years for putting this in my head. Simultaneously you can praise Kaslo for the same thing and sort of persuading me to finally play this.

Also apologies to the smallest girly in the house who was having absolutely none of this "daddy talking into his phone while playing videogames" nonsense.

PS3 launch title, control nightmare, surprisingly good time.

More for the "I'm going to be babytastic this summer" pile
