As for past reviews, check the description below for a link to my playlist of all the Boss Fight Books reviews so far. Today's book: Galaga by Michael Kimball. Did you know there’s a way to cheat in Galaga by allowing enemy shots to stack, occupying the game’s allotted enemy fire memory, ultimately rendering the enemies unable to shoot at all. But as Michael Kimball tells us, real Galaga players are ethically opposed to using the cheat.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.

We sit down for a conversation with Giant Sparrow's Ian Dallas - creative director of the 2017 hit What Remains of Edith Finch and 2014's The Unfinished Swan. This episode of Masters of Unlocking follows a bit of a different structure than our normal episodes - we kick things off with our interview with Ian and, afterwards, Caleb & Scott dive into an in-depth discussion of our thoughts about the interview and the game itself.
WARNING - the interview and following discussion contain SPOILERS about the game.

Welcome to Burning Books. I’m Caleb, and I want to help you love video games even more. And if you are a fan of Limited Run Games, I’m about to help you love those games even more. You now have a better chance of owning those limited release games, because I’m not buying them anymore. I’m one less buyer to compete with. I made a video about Limited Run Games a month ago. I’d like to make a better one. That’s what this is (hopefully it’s better). I’m going to talk about why I love what Limited Run Games does and why I’m not buying as many games from them as I used to. Sounds contradictory, I know...and it probably is. I’m still trying to figure out my own logic. Maybe you can help me out in the comments below. What am I thinking?[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’m reviewing all of the Boss Fight Books releases, so subscribe to this channel and click the bell notification icon to be sure you don’t miss future reviews. Welcome to Burning Books. I’m Caleb and I want to help you love video games even more than you already do. It’s a tall order, I understand, but for someone as short as I am, I welcome any challenge that makes me feel tall. Today I’m continuing my mission to review all of the Boss Fight Books releases. There’s a link to BossFightBooks.com below in case you are not familiar with this publisher. The short version: they publish books about video games, with each book being an in-depth exploration of a single game. Such a proposition scratches all of my nerdy itches. Today’s book: Chrono Trigger by Michael P. Williams. I’ve never played Chrono Trigger. But I loved this book. What? How is that possible?

Shoot. Jump. Run. Samus Aran and I, we both came into existence this way.
For video game creator Yoshio Sakamoto, those three verbs described all he knew about the project he was told to create, a game that would become 1986’s Nintendo classic Metroid, a game that would seed a cherished series and inspire an entire video game genre. Sakamoto handled the responsibility of those verbs with dignity.
My father—never one to care about the gratification of others nor one to welcome responsibility—handled the experience of creating me with the same verbs, though in a different context: shoot (impregnate), jump (get dressed), run (leave).
Samus and I, we might as well be siblings, right?

Ken Baumann, the aforementioned almost dead actor wrote the first book in the Boss Fight Books collection, this one titled and about Earthbound.
