OFF (part 1: intro)

OFF is a French indie game, and has been translated to English, you may find the translation here.
In this game, you assume the role of "The Batter" and are met by a peculiar, and kind of creepy, purring cat. (The game has lots of sound effects, definitely do play with the sound on.)

He teaches you the basic controls, basic insight on solving certain puzzles, and teaches you how to fight.

After making it out of Zone 0 you must make your way to Zone 1 (inventive titling, eh?) You are met by odd npcs, who don't really give you much insight on anything other than that there are spectres and you seem to be the one who is supposed to be getting rid of them.

Helpful.

You meet run into several spectres, and conveniently you have an "add-on" to your party to help you fight. Even your character notices this. Anyway, beat down the ghosts in standard attack manner and move on, there will be random encounters but luckily at the beginning of this area there is a chest that will heal you to full.

And along with your standard turn-based RPG battle system it comes with the standard RPG pause menu with stats and such.
I have heard many good things about this game so far, and it seems intriguing so far. The sound effects add quite a bit, even if they are rather simple, and there's a decent mystery to be felt as soon as you start the game, as you are given rather little background into anything about this world and you are sent on a mission from God a strange purring cat. I like the graphics as they are, they are simple yet there is detail to them, and even if goofy looking I feel the art is right for this style of game. The sound effects create an interesting environment, for example, when you talk to the cat you hear a purr, and in Zone 0 you hear the sound of water moving, as you are surrounded by a body of water on a small island. It helps set the mood. As for the combat, it's simple enough, and there is even an "auto" mode if all you want is the story, however I do not know if the "auto" mode will always work out but it can at least get you through the menial battles without having to grind it all out yourself. All in all the game is intriguing in its beginning and I will be playing it more soon.

More Borderlands 2

I have so much with the Borderlands games. Borderlands was one of my favorites and Borderlands 2 was even better. It lets you have so much fun playing with your friends. Fast Travel Personally I think the Bane is the best gun in Borderlands 2, but my friend was not amused by this. The Bane

Borderlands 2, Too

I finally got around to finishing sorting through my Borderlands 2 footage from months ago. I made Borderfuck, Too and my friend has discovered the biggest plothole in Borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 was some of the most fun I had in 2012, and I still enjoy it now. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys shooters, RPGs, and comedy.

AoD2013 & Erik Braa

Back in February some friends of mine and I went down to San Francisco for Anime on Display, the main thing I wanted to do there was get an autograph from the voice of Draven, Erik Braa, I ended up doing one better, I got a picture of him and I recorded him and some other voice actors playing Jeopardy in the main hall. I rather enjoyed myself at AoD 2013 in Japantown, had some crepes and bought a Slowpoke charm, ate sushi and of course ran into Erik Braa.
