Enter The Gungeon: House Of The Gundead

HolyAarom

What an interesting game this one is. I’m particularly impressed that a modern cabinet these days can run properly, and I suppose it’s because the cabinet uses Sinden guns. Sinden guns are essentially the HD successor to light guns since CRTs are a rare breed nowadays. It uses something akin to how the Wiimote or even the Eyetoy functioned: a webcam looking at the actual gun that allows it to track properly. I don’t think I can do the explanation justice, but I just know it works smoothly. As for the game itself, I never played the original Enter The … Continue reading Enter The Gungeon: House Of The Gundead

Fatigue Setting In

HolyAarom

As of this post, I’m five days in of an eight day marathon of pizza business. It sucks, but I’m gonna get some decent money out of it. Just gotta get through the weekend and Monday. I’m in the process of becoming pizza master so I’ve had to go in on days where I’m normally off in order to get some extra training in. Pizza overtime is gonna stack on with itself and I know for a fact when the payment comes, I’m gonna go wild with it (by saving it.) For real though, it’s been a cycle of work, … Continue reading Fatigue Setting In

Cheerleader Rimuru

HolyAarom

Birthday present from a very close friend of mine, and he’s here (along with Airi, Byleth, Lonsdaleite, and Rinwell.) One of my favorite aspects of this figure is the focus on the facial features. The “Why me?” expression Rimuru has is amusing, and the slimes underneath doing what I think is their version of a wave is pretty funny as well. You have one slime who just as unamused, and another one getting super into it. I’m happy I received this from my friend and I’ll be sure to take care of him. I am definitely having trouble with space … Continue reading Cheerleader Rimuru

Rubber Band Ball

HolyAarom

At the pizza place I come across tons of rubber bands and sometimes I forget I have them in my pocket, and the other sometimes I just take them home with me. Think of this as the start of something grand. Maybe. Okay maybe it won’t grow into anything major but I’ll be damned if I didn’t try. I don’t even want to play with the thing at this point. I don’t even have any use for rubber bands that I can think of. One of those moments where you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it … Continue reading Rubber Band Ball

Kokkoro (Not Fumo) Plush

HolyAarom

Kokkoro from Princess Connect. Not a fumo, as in the Touhou style plush, but still from Gift nonetheless. I love how she turned out. Her stoic expression is conveyed very clearly and the stitchwork is very clean and even. Her hair is also done professionally, with a nice feel to it. Not to mention the flower corsage has some decent give to it as well. The only thing I would say is that she’s slouching a little bit when sitting down. I’m chalking it up to how she was shipped. Perhaps she just needs some time and fresh air to … Continue reading Kokkoro (Not Fumo) Plush

TF2 Duels

HolyAarom

Decided to whip up some TF2 and play some casual, and got put on Dustbowl. Some excellent players on both teams, and I live by a “no fear” policy where I just play erratically and run into people’s faces. The best experience of this was when I just ended up smacking someone with a melee and it killed them, and it prompted what I assume was a rage duel request. I let em’ have it because the expert armchair psychologist in me communicates that it was a passive aggressive way of getting back at me. Being hit by a nooby … Continue reading TF2 Duels

Ludger Merch In 2023

HolyAarom

Tales of Xillia 2 still remains one of my favorite games of all time, but I played the game back when I didn’t have much (relatively) disposable income. I didn’t have the ability to participate in the acquisition of merch for the Tales series in general until recently, which unfortunately when the series stopped being “hot.” Maybe I’ll get into the details but I genuinely did not enjoy Arise, and am fearful for what it means for the future of the series. To get back on track though, here I find a button in a store called the Forgotten Toy … Continue reading Ludger Merch In 2023

Signs I Don’t See Often Nowadays

HolyAarom

I used to live in New York and traffic there was awful. Double parking, people honking all the time, all that jazz. When I moved to Florida it was interesting that right turns were considered the norm as long as you stopped before hand. It was the other way around in New York, where right turns WEREN’T permitted by default. But there’s nothing like the sense of pressure of not wanting to right turn immediately because you can’t see shit coming because someone is so close to the line that you can’t see past their car. Added on top of … Continue reading Signs I Don’t See Often Nowadays

Getting Back Into Left 4 Dead 2

HolyAarom

L4D2 was always considered a “shitpost” game for me. It’s fun to pick up and play, and it provides an interesting look into how fucked up people is. A psychological study, if you will. Okay, maybe I’m getting a bit into it and reading too much, but either way, it’s a fun as fuck game and whenever the game goes on sale it’s fun to play with the newer players. In the picture above, I totally was useless and thought it was funny just seeing the discrepancy in the amount of kills each person had. One person in the next … Continue reading Getting Back Into Left 4 Dead 2
