Luck of the Draw (More ruminations on Nostalgiastarters)
A long time ago, my friends, I drew up an analysis of what I termed big-name nostalgiastarters. I used that word to describe, as I put it, “high-profile crowdfunding campaigns that have marketed themselves primarily by being the brainchildren of industry veterans who created or were influential in beloved video game franchises from the 80s […]

Gunlord’s College Saga, Episode 43 (January 16, 2021): Technical Writing fun continues…
Well, back to work…and man, this is quite a bit of work, because this class is putting through like 15 weeks of content into 3! Ugh. Sunday: Put the finishing touches on my essays. Also, Musuko‘s back–the translator returned and put out 132-134, one of the main characters is off to college and meets a […]
The Dream Is Over, Though Not Dead (Gunlord’s Kickstarter Retrospective)
Well, I hadn’t mentioned this in December, but with the release of Phoenix Point, pretty much every project I kickstarted (Over 80%) has been mostly completed, one way or another. Nearly all of them still have stretch goals and DLC to meet, of course, but at this point, with the exception of Xenonauts 2 and […]
Living the Good Life, Episode 141 (August 24, 2019): The good life ends for now, College begins again…
Like the title says, this is gonna be the last Living the Good Life entry for a while. College starts next week… WATCHAN: Nothin much this week. I did get IT and Blade Runner 2049 on Blu-ray, though. I suppose you could say I’ve been watching a lot of vids from one horror youtuber I’m […]
In it for the long haul (Not over yet)
As I mentioned in a post last week, I’ve been feeling pretty depressed and pessimistic about Bloodstained, as well as crowdfunding in general. To sum up what I said, the constant, never-ending drip-drip-drip of bad news pertaining to the project destroyed my hype for it. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I was just […]
Glad It’s Over
Well, it’s here. Over four years after the Kickstarter was launched on May 11, 2015, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has finally, *finally* launched. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/2539692 I know it’ll sound a bit indulgent, but this represents something of an accomplishment for me as well. I’ve been working as a moderator for the Bloodstained community and discord […]
The Problems with Big-Name Nostalgiastarters
Hey guys! Gunlord here, comin’ atcha with an essay I would like to think is up to some reasonably high scholarly standards, but on a somewhat less weighty subject: Namely, crowdfunded videogames. Again, not the most serious of topics, but hopefully my friends will still be able to learn a little something from my thoughts […]
Living the Good Life, Episode 122 (March 30, 2019): VERY productive end of March 2019!
Now THIS was a nice week. Great weather, had a lot of fun, and got a lot of work done too! WATCHAN: Jojo ep. 24: Freaky episode! So the gang takes an empty plane to Sardinia (Abbachio uses his replay ability to figure out how the pilot flew the plane and do the same), but […]
