Late to the Party: Resident Evil 4

March 20, 2023March 20, 2023 buttsmcgeeissad

When I pick a game to cover for Late to the Party, I go one of two routes. Something I know I’m going to hate or something considered innovative at the time of release. This time, I picked the latter, … Continue reading Late to the Party: Resident Evil 4

Late to the Party 2023

January 9, 2023January 9, 2023 buttsmcgeeissad

The idea for the discussion is simple, once a week a volunteer (or volunteers) will do a write up on an older piece of media that they are digesting for the very first time. So here’s the link to signup … Continue reading Late to the Party 2023

Late to the Party: Dead Space

October 31, 2022October 31, 2022 buttsmcgeeissad

We are currently in an era where remakes are everywhere. Sometimes they make sense, like with Yakuza Kiwami because the original’s gameplay needed some upgrades. Other times it does not make sense like with The Last of Us Part 1, … Continue reading Late to the Party: Dead Space

Late to the Party: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

July 11, 2022July 11, 2022 buttsmcgeeissad

This might be shocking if you read my piece on Naruto Shippudden, but I enjoyed Naruto: Broken Bond. It wasn’t a perfect game, but I had fun with the fighting system and exploring was engaging enough. Sure, it had filler … Continue reading Late to the Party: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

Late to the Party: Spielberg’s 1941

Steven Spielberg’s much-maligned epic comedy probably helped him figure out what kind of filmmaker he actually is. Continue reading Late to the Party: Spielberg’s 1941

Late To The Party: The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

September 20, 2021October 1, 2021 Troy Peterson

Each week in Late to the Party, someone posts about an older piece of media that they’ve just experienced for the first time. This week: Packer_Hat finally watches The Shawshank Redemption (1994). Continue reading Late To The Party: The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Late to the Party: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Season One)

September 6, 2021September 6, 2021 Nudeviking

Perhaps due to the fact that I grew up in an era when most cartoons for children were little more than 30 minute commercials (with commercial breaks) for toys I have long been of the mind that there is little … Continue reading Late to the Party: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Season One)

Late to the Party: Naruto Shippuden: Gaara and Sai Arcs

August 30, 2021August 27, 2021 buttsmcgeeissad

When I was in elementary school, Naruto was my favorite show. Now I’m not 100% why, but probably because it was often the only animated show featuring blood that aired while I was still awake. I have no idea how … Continue reading Late to the Party: Naruto Shippuden: Gaara and Sai Arcs

Late to the Party: Klonoa

As a Nintendo 64 owner, I missed out on many Playstation exclusives in the late 90s. Klonoa, a “2.5D” platformer from Namco, always intrigued me. When Sony announced that the PSN store would no longer be available on PSP or … Continue reading Late to the Party: Klonoa
