Lifeless Planet Playthrough
Lifeless Planet is a game that had a really cool trailer that almost seemed to imply it had some open world planetary exploration elements in it. What we got was a more linear, level based puzzle/platforming/adventure with sometimes mildly frustrating player physics, though you can maybe blame that on me for not wanting to plug my gamepad in. Still, the levels themselves contain many huge areas to explore, and it is quite comfy to do so.

Vigil
Something I sketched up back in May. I wanted something with a lot of ink because I was drawing it to kill time during a twelve hour shift.

Quick & Painless Reviews: AVGN: The Movie
So it's been how long? Eight years...? Forever? But after what was starting to become Duke Nukem Forever levels of development, it has finally come out.
He's going to take you back to the past, though not necessarily to play shitty games that suck ass. What we get is a feature film which presents itself with a barrage of charming 80's b-flick cheese, and UHF style homages to popular films and games, plus more cameos than almost any one person can count in their first watch. Underneath it all we have a semi-serious political commentary about modern game marketing peddling shit, with an almost entire cast of super dynamic and forever memorable characters.
Strangely out of place is the second lead in the film, Jeremy Suarez, who is the only character who doesn't completely get the chance to 'fit' into the film's universe, almost as if his inclusion was an afterthought, or maybe written for another actor. Some of the passion behind the experience does also get lost as well after such a long, tiring wait, but I don't mean that in a way that belittles the immense amount of work that went into it while also producing dozens of episodes for various web series.
The big thing you're probably wondering is, "Does he finally do an actual review for ET in the movie?" The answer is yes, and the review is so surprising and unique from all of the others, that it's worth the wait of the film's production and duration to experience.
I'd give it more than 7 stages out of 10, but the stupid game won't let me go past that point.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I was, at one time, in a romantic relationship with James Rolfe, who is both the creator of the film and the lead actor, so my opinion on the movie might be biased.
