My earliest videos.......be gentle... (NOTE: Episode 15 got corrupted and is therefore not included. It was Revenant, which was not a good game at all)

NEW THOUGHTS: I don't know what prompted me to make this video in the style that I did. I do recall time was a factor for some reason, and thus I couldn't make a "play-a-bit-and-remark-at-the-end" style of video like the first two were, but beyond that I seemed to have a chip on my shoulder for no reason. For the record, I still think Out There Somewhere is not that good of a game, but it's not as terrible as I seem to recall making it out to be here.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: A short video for a short game. In what has turned out to be more of an opinion piece than review/critique, I talk about both the MiniBoss puzzle-platformer Out There Somewhere, and the usage of 8-Bit/retro graphics and music in games in general.

NEW THOUGHTS: I suppose it would be remiss of me if I didn't mention that this video was made before certain accusations came to light about Alec Holowka. Obviously, I don't condone the alleged behavior, and I did consider not re-uploading this video, but decided that it wouldn't be fair to the other developer on the game, Derek Yu. I still stand by my opinions of the game in and of itself, however; I greatly enjoyed my time with it, and I would still recommend it.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Another short and sweet one for you guys, this week. Is it possible to have a good Metroidvania game underwater? To find out, take a dive with me, as we explore the watery world of Aquaria!

GOING POSTAL(2)!...aka: The "Eh..."pisode
Still feeling the negative effects of playing The 7th Guest, I rearrange my gaming calendar a little bit to play a controversial game that, if the trailers are anything to go by, promises to be good for a laugh and a good time in general. But is it?

Unfortunately, technical difficulties meant I couldn't do an episode on Star Trek: Starfleet Command like I had hoped, so I had to go with a backup, which, as it happens, is another starship sim. Was it the better choice? Like I'm going to tell you that in the description!! :-P

Nope, you're not seeing things. This episode actually clocks in at under 10 minutes! A few days ago, I saw some dude in the mall playing a game on his laptop that looked a bit like Dungeon Keeper, but wasn't. It was in fact A Game of Dwarves. So let's see if this game has anything on ol' Horny or not! Also, NEW COVER GRAPHIC DESIGN! Because there's only so many things I can Photoshop my hat onto!

This'll probably hold the record for longest episode title for a while, I imagine. As I struggle with yet another older game, for this week's Plan B, I introduce you to Sarah, a princess so amazing that not only can she not be bothered to move and attack at the same time (you know, like the commoners do), she can also apparently be dead AND alive at the same time!! Next week is TERA...at least I know THAT'S working properly for me...*rushes to check on TERA videos*

Today, we look at Starship Titanic, the last of the "Troublesome Trio", those three games which I wanted to record, but couldn't for technical reasons. The game was written by Douglas Adams but I resisted the temptation to toss in some Hitchhiker's Guide quotes...almost.

You ever find yourself thinking there's something you haven't done in a long while, then you do that something, and you quickly realize why it's been a long while since you've done it? That's kinda how I felt with this game. On the bright side though, a brand spankin' new intro!! You like?

When David Bowie passed away, Low Budget Gaming was still in a hiatus, and I had already planned the game to play the week after that. So, I figure, what better way for a game reviewer to pay tribute to Mr. Bowie than to talk about a game all about labyrinths!

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: FMV games appear to have been making something of a resurgence over the past few years. Today, I investigate an entry from 2015, a murder mystery with, among its cast, A FREAKIN' BLAKE'S 7 ACTOR!!! (Yes, I realize probably no one got that...No, I don't care)
