The Y2K Era

New Millennium: Y2K Era Those of you that are ready to hit middle age, or even already there and even past it, will instantly associate "Y2K" with the global bug of doom that was supposed to occur the moment we entered the year 2000. Hence, Y2K for the year 2000. Nothing happened. We even tested this theory as kids by typing "2000" into every date field just to see if anything will crash. Not exactly the most scientific expirement, but it did assuage our fears a bit. The year 2000 arrived and no major global catastrophe happened. There where a few important incidents that caused financial problems[1], but no planes fell out of the sky because of it. Aside from that scare, growing up during the Y2K era was a whole lot of fun. Credit is Due First, let me give credit to a Youtuber that goes by the name of "Life of Slice". He developed a brilliant v...

Evolution: World Sacred Device

Another Turn Based RPG I'm not sure why tried this game. Maybe beause it was an RPG on the Dreamcast the was relatively inexpensive. I paid roughly thirty dollars for this. I don't think I'm ready to pay the damned near 200 dollars for Skies of Arcadia. I guess I should have started with Grandia 2. It has a much better reputation than Evolution. Grandia 2 is generally held in high regard, Evolution is viewed as a charming but mediocre RPG. Maybe that's why I chose to play it. I wanted to play a simple, average, but charming RPG so that I may have something to compare every RPG to.

The story is a typical and predictable affair in which you are an explorer that dives into dungeons for treasure. An imperial military shows up with interest in the same artifacts you are digging up.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Solid I typcally ignore hype. However, I grabbed this game on sale for $35 instead of the usual $50 sticker price. It is a price worth paying. I'm a cheapskate. So, fifty bucks is too much for me. I can still recommend this game even at it's fifty dollar price point, especially if you're into turn-based RPGs. I am personally not into turn-based RPGs. I tried Evolution: World of Sacred Device and, though charming, it was slog to get through. I played through Super Mario RPG, which is generally regarded as one of the best on the Super Nintendo, and I would be okay with never playing it again. Now I am working my way through Clair Obscur and I can safely say that I would rather play this game than the other two I mentioned. However, it still doesn't move my needle towards appreciating turn-based combat very much. Just like with Super Mario RPG, it was an entertaining game that I have no intention of ever pl...
