The PlayStation 5 “DualSense” Controller: Much Of The Same, With More We Didn’t Need
Last night on the PlayStation blog Sony showed off an image of the controller for the PlayStation 5, properly identifying it as the “DualSense” Controller.

Angry Video Game Nerd – Season 5 Review

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 7: Some Final Thoughts And Things I’ve Noticed
In the last entry I wrapped up the testing of the system following its modding and found everything was in good shape – the project was, as far as I’m concerned, a complete success, and I had a European PlayStation 3 with a US power supply, modded to be able to play any game I’d …

The Strange Story Of My European PlayStation 3 – Part 3: Just What Do I Really Have?

I Don’t Like The Term “Metroidvania,” But Not For The Reason You May Think
Apparently there’s been a bit of drama surrounding the term “Metroidvania” recently. This has come mainly in the form of gaming journalism (you know, the hotbed of genius that is) saying that the term isn’t “accessible” to outsiders. or other crap related to how specific of a term it is in structure.

Finally Getting Back Into The Groove Of Writing About Gaming
I really didn’t want to end today without having written something. I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak recently with posts here, but today work really demanded my all and since I’ve gotten home I’ve felt like nothing but trying to relax. Still, I want to keep the momentum of this hot streak …
