Let me get this out of the way first: I really, really like Octopath. I’m enjoying the hell out of it, and getting more than my money’s worth out of the purchase - and I got the big silly collector’s edition.

Surprise! The client is available for download on the Google Play store RIGHT NOW, and servers go live in less than half an hour. CBT players just need a quick update on the client software, and supposedly we’re keeping our data from it. I sure as hell hadn’t heard anything solid about the release date, so this is a…

Had I known the beta was going to end that fast, I would have been better prepared to write this (or, indeed, I might have known I was going to write it before it ended). But much like in most of the SMT series, shit happened I wasn’t ready for, and we got wiped, but we should be able to load our save data later. So…

Emails have been sent out with links to the closed beta test of Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, a new F2P mobile game from ATLUS. Registered users can find a download link in the email, and the servers will fire up Tuesday evening. (Do note that the email contains quite a few formatting and grammatical errors,…

(This is Scully’s fault.)

Welcome back to (a NEWLY UPDATED, see bottom of article) Cooking With Raitzeno, where God is dead of food poisoning, Cthulhu is vomiting in the bathroom, and the Buddha is glad to be fasting. Today I’ve only got a small morsel of suffering to inflict on you, but it’s going to be made deliciously worse by knowing what…

So i may have mentioned my Wednesday night RPG campaign is an Avatars game, in which we are playing as ourselves in what’s effectively an isekai. One of my friends has brought his full-size van into this world, the other has brought his motorcycle. I brought my backpack with all my gadgets, and we’ve managed to cobble…

‘Welcome’ back to Cooking With Raitzeno, where more than a year of absence is not enough to save you from deep emotional trauma.

Roses are red, daisies are yellow, why are you still reading Cooking With Raitzeno? (FUCK YOU, IT’S CLOSE ENOUGH TO RHYMING. CWR is all about “eh, close enough.”)

Because the only thing that gives me a stomachache faster than my cooking is a depressive spiral of self-loathing.

“Dear Lord, this year we gather around a dead, frozen, and recooked bird, surrounded by family members we barely tolerate, to thank you for the single most important thing in our country: the fact that Raitzeno did not cook this dinner for us.” OH WAIT, YES I FUCKING DID. Now what do you have to be thankful for?…

I just wanna let you guys know, if anyone’s on the fence about Zestiria, go ahead and get it. It’s fun to play, and perhaps more importantly, it’s funny as hell.

(Spoilers inside!) I love the hell out of the new Disgaea. It does a lot of things right, especially in places where the previous games did things wrong. But it has one massive failing that continues to taunt me as I get closer and closer to the end: The voice acting is just not up to par.

If you’re trying to find me, rather than trying to escape me, something has gone dreadfully wrong.

I’d say “welcome” back to Cooking with Raitzeno, but let’s be honest: neither of us really wants to be here. And by here, I mean in this godforsaken, empty existence. The fact you’re here reading a third installment of this series means that not only is God dead, his corpse was poorly cooked and nearly unpalatable.

As I’ve mentioned in the comments on a few of the Spacemon posts, I’ve been in a different Pokemon tabletop game for a little over a year now. I’ve been asked (and subsequently given permission by the GM) to cover our campaign in a similar fashion. I have the logs and will be mixing summary and direct quotes from both…
