Iris and the Giant is a short indie roguelike deckbuilding RPG that I played early in this year and forgot to write about. I got it from the February Humble Choice. The gameplay is simple and straightforward, a bit like Slay the Spire, you build a deck of cards to use in battle in against floors of monsters until you get to the end. The difference with StS is that in this game cards are removed from your deck as soon as you use them and it's game over when you run out, so you have to keep earning new -
I had already managed to finish the two single-player games I had targeted to finished before year's end (1 2), but I figured I can squeeze in one more shorter game in the last two weeks of the year, so the week before Christmas I started playing Blasphemous on Steam. It's a metroidvania I'd been meaning to play for a while, as I've seen it on a number of "top N metroidvanias" list, and apparently I had gotten it from Humble Bundle way back in December 2019. I'm a big fan of the exploration aspect of metroidvanias, and Blasphemous didn't -
Sure, why not. Merry Christmas!

I'm a big fan of the Tales series of games; I played the early games Phantasia (via emulation), Destiny and Eternia (both on PS1), but skipped out on the series a bit during the PS2 era when most of the games either did not have an English release or when not on a console I had. Tales of Symphonia belongs to the latter category; It originally came out for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003 and had a PS2 port which never saw an English release. This is the oldest Tales game that I haven't yet played before that had a -
Everything has to have a year in review nowadays lol.
I guess my tendency is to just play one big game a year on the #NintendoSwitch, though next year might be BOTW2 and SMTV.

Crimson Vow drafting! ep 8 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgcrimson
[22:27] Only got to play one draft today. Unfortunately the pattern of alternating good and bad days did not hold up and this draft was a bit meh. Probably my fault because of bad keeps though. Deck seemed pretty solid.

I finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles this week! A game I've been playing since August. If you're not familiar, it's a collection release of the two latest games in the Ace Attorney series, a series of story-driven visual novel-type games centered around defense lawyering. Both of the games in the collection have not had an English release before. I played and enjoyed the first four games of the series on the NDS back in the mid-00s, so I was looking forward to this release. The two games included are Great Ace Attorney Adventures and Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. -

I've mentioned this before on the weeknotes, but a couple of months ago I availed of a New York Times games subscription, mostly for access to the NYT crosswords, since the trivia team have been enjoying some coop crossword nights over Discord. Aside from the NYT crossword, the subscription also gives us access to some other games. The other one we've been enjoying so far is the NYT Spelling Bee. It's basically one of those anagram puzzles where you have to form words from a set of letters. Each puzzle has seven letters, with one letter highlighted in yellow in -
