Mike's Unedited Let's Plays!

Might ramble a bit, did this one straight after the Comix Zone episode and apparently I last longer on the mean streets of Blackpool.

So it's an episode of visiting exciting new places and performing silly voices in them. Also I guess we hit some actual plot.

So Red Earth was an arcade only fighting game sort of RPG dealie... A few years ago it was released on the Capcom Fighting Game Collection. It is very fun. This time I played as Tessa, a witch who fights with the aid of her various pets.

Contains flatulence and a nappy change.

While taking a pre-appraisal breather I play the entire GG Aleste series of Game Gear Shmups. The one developed in 2020 is the best one, surprising nobody I'm sure.

I actually get to a battle, although I still didn't know how it really works. One of those actual complicated games apparently.

Still doing all the jobby jobber jobs at what still feels like the very start of the game. I fight lizard people, gargoyles, trees, wolves, my own inability to read a map and the urge to sleep after too many interrupted nights.

Back on PS3 mech games. This one is made primarily for online play so obviously I'm playing it ten years too late. Also I'm not good at it.

Oh dear this one is long. I should perhaps consider fewer episodes that are actually produced... But then when would I play videogames? So I mostly rant incoherently about One Piece and being an aging anime fan in general. To the point where for the last twenty minutes I'm not even playing the game. By the way the game is REALLY FUCKING GOOD. I mention Dragoon Effect in this episode, and yeah Ben...

So doing the usual "kill X number of creatures" sort of thing, hence just doing bits and pieces over my first day or so with the game. Slightly worried it will be thoroughly boring, also I need to find a good thing to go between entries.

This was going to be the kind of journal type format I do for 7th Saga but I sort of didn't do it... Might do for future updates. By the way you can all blame Bill of RPG Years for putting this in my head. Simultaneously you can praise Kaslo for the same thing and sort of persuading me to finally play this. Also apologies to the smallest girly in the house who was having absolutely none of this "d...

PS3 launch title, control nightmare, surprisingly good time. More for the "I'm going to be babytastic this summer" pile

A JRPG with a lot of Dragon Quest trappings to it, based on a manga, based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is kind of based on oral folk tales of the actual war at the end of the Han Dynasty. It boasts a silly number of playable party members. I didn't even get to a battle... But I did settle the tiny girl by talking about the oath in the peach grove. She was less than a week old at time o...

With a sort of drifting baby in hand we take a trip to the mean streets in this fun 3ds brawler/RPG.

So I'm just dead tired and probably incapable of being interesting late at night. If you're the type to read the descriptions let me give you a run down of this game. It's a really rad fighting game where you're floating around and battling in the style of Dragonball Z, let's be fair that's what you'll think of if you play it. Maneuverability in this one in particular is amazing, there's really po...

Actually playing the game! What a twist!

... I didn't get past the first mission... I mean it's really obvious what the mistake I made was but still I feel like a doof. Also this is fundamentally less silly than Original Generation.

So the live Rouroni Kenshin is a pretty good film isn't it? Well I enjoyed it regardless. I kind of end up wondering if it's coincidence mixed with tenuous historical fact or if the set up for Gintama is actually a bit of a Kenshin parody. Obviously I like your more classic style Samurai films that are more like period peices (Twilight Samurai comes to mind). But golly that was a very feature comp...

Tomba continues to charm while I continue to fail in that particular endeavour. However I do have fun drowsily rescuing dwarves and despising pointy spiders.

Can't remember specifics but I ended up seeing the cool ship design concept art for R-Type and was like: "ooo that'll be a good one for the baby bonuses!"

KICK THE CHILD!

So I've got a second small person, and while she's having a wee sleep on me I decided to natter into my phone while playing this month's calendar game, Golden Axe. Personally prefer Golden Axe to Streets of Rage if I'm doing single player. Now I need to see if I can balance a baby and my ludicrous volume of R E Howard's Conan stories. Quick tangent, Howard is uncomfortably racist at times in a way...

So you know when you open an old save and you have no idea where you are or what's happening? Yeah this is half an hour of that.

Feels like it's all slowed down but admittedly my life is all over the place. You might have noticed all the bonus episodes I made yonks ago, well I'm still waiting for baby number 2 to come on out. We're a week late now it's just ridiculous, she's got to learn some punctuality! Also sproglet number one gave me a cold that lead to an EAR INFECTION! Of all the things to get as an adult, sitting the...

More for the "going to be busy with new baby" bank. Vagrant Story is a good game isn't it? It's right good it is.
