I love Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. It’s a fantastic 3D action platformer, originally released in 2001 for the Sony Playstation 2. This video game holds up really, really well. Buuuut...why does it have to get so frustrating in the final level. The amazing platforming suddenly gets irresponsibly confusing at the final level.Posts By Caleb J. Ross
Caleb began writing his sophomore year of undergrad study when, tired of the formal art education then being taught, he abandoned the pursuit in the middle of a compositional drawing class. Major-less and fearful of losing his financial aid, he signed up to seek a degree in English Literature for no other reason than his lengthy history with the language. Coincidentally, this decision not only introduced him to writing but to reading as well. Prior this transition he had read three books. One of which he understood.

The big selling point with this game--the thing you’ve probably heard about if you’ve heard anything--is that thousands of rats are animated simultaneously without any frame rate compromises. Sure, that's impressive from a technical perspective, but it's concerning from a future of the human race perspective. You people realize that 50 years ago we flew to the damn moon, right?![su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
Sitting is awesome. Sitting with a game controller in your hands while staring at a TV is even better. When you want to be lazy, you want to do it in the laziest comfort and style possible. That’s where this big, red chaise lounge chair comes in. This is absolutely the best gaming chair I have ever used.[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
The credits are rolling on Bendy and the Ink Machine, and I’m here to answer the question you all surely have. Is Bendy a good name? Yes, it’s a great name. The implied movement afforded by the trailing y creates an adjective noun that reflects perfectly the rubber hose animation style from which the character Bendy pulls inspiration. Oh, what, you said game? Is it a good game? Well, sure. The cartridge is the perfect size for the Nintendo Switch game slot, so how much better can the game be, right? Oh, is Bendy and the Ink Machine a fun gaming experience...Hmmm, there’s no way I can intentionally mis-hear that one, is there? The short answer: no. Bendy and the Ink Machine is a broken mess of a game that somehow manages to be bad at every point in which most games would at least try to be good. Except one area, Bendy does do good in one area. I’ll mention that at the end of this video, but otherwise the game sucks.[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
I hit a video game milestone recently: I have beaten 100 games! I thought it would be fun to rank all 100 of the games in a series of videos. Here’s the next video, ranking games 51 - 55.[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
The credits are rolling on Child of Light, a unique mix of 2D side-scroller and turn-based RPG. You don't see those too mix very often. I don't know why. Maybe video games are racist. But more likely, you don’t see side-scrolling, turn based RPGs because the side-scrolling nature restricts the player’s directional choices. What fun is an RPG if you are forced to battle every single enemy? No fun, that’s what fun. Child of Light handles this by giving the player character, a princess named Aurora, the ability to fly. So, essentially, Child of Light is a top-down game in that you can move in any direction and choose which enemies to engage. That’s either very clever or its cheating.[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
