So, what is it about wish-fulfillment protagonists that rakes my crotch? I can’t say I have a problem with the overall concept. Some of my favorite characters could be considered a wish-fulfillment fantasy after all (Batman, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, etc.).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’m okay. I’m okay. I just started thinking about what’s on the chopping block today and got a little upset. What I am about to say here, I say knowing the full implications of everything I’ve reviewed up to now: Blossoms Bloom Brightest may be one of the worst visual novels I’ve […]
‘Will ‘Fanservice’ ever be executed correctly?’ It’s a question that is usually the last thing to ring through my head after slamming my face into oblivion on my desk.

I talk about all of this with examples so please keep that in mind. Have you ever read or watched a […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: YES , for anyone still wondering, this was an April Fool’s Joke. But it’s fun to pretend AJT and his crew managed to do a complete 180 isn’t it? So, last year I played a series of games from Dharker Studios; formerly AJ Tilley.com. To say I was harsh on those titles is […]
…..Fuck this shit. I’m out. FINAL SCORE – (0/10) WHAT THE FUCK?! ………..Oh if it was only that simple. My friends, at last we’ve reached the end of the road. After playing Sakura Swim Club, I realized that I was going to lose my mind trying to keep up with the coagulated river of monkey […]
Have you ever engaged a piece of media that wasn’t worth the mental energy you put into it?
