Re: the divine sport of CHESS


I've been playing Chess960 lately and enjoying it a lot. Nobody I play with is a real chess expert so we don't know the opening moves by name, but it's still fun having the basic balance of the starting game totally messed up. It makes you focus on the consequences of each move right from the ...

Re: the sony playstation 2

I've been playing the Zodiac Age version of Final Fantasy XII for PC, and I've definitely got grievances with how they remastered it.

Re: the divine sport of CHESS

I never really played chess growing up, but I like to think FFT and X-COM developed my 'moving guys around on tiles' cortex at an early age.
My forays into shogi have been fun. It's definitely a slower game without a piece as powerful as the queen, but the respawn and promotion mechanics are cool. I ...

Anybody else into this classy little board game? I've been playing online chess for 5½ years, after picking it up during the summer of pandemic. As someone raised on tactical RPGs, it felt like coming ...

Re: the sony playstation 2


I really want to play the PS2 Monster Hunters soon... hearing that there were private servers up for them and seeing friends play together makes me really want to dig up those crusty roots.

MH1 is a fascinating piece of RPG design. Some hardcore inventory systems that were panned at the time ...
