Mixing items with items to make more items in Ni no Kuni
Of all the videogame-based alchemy systems, I can confidently say that I like the one in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch the least. Which is a shame, as Level-5 generally knows what its doing with its item … Continue reading

Mining again with the perennial Minesweeper

Be stealthy or be deadly or even both in Super Ninja Slash

Chrom’s childhood friend Sully is no more
Siiigh. I’m definitely now getting to the point in Fire Emblem: Awakening where these deaths sting. As is the case with losing Sully last night to a bunch of sneaky Wyvern Riders. I managed to get through Chapter 8 “The … Continue reading
