Commercial Flashback #5: It’s WILD, it’s DYN-O-MITE!

3
Marketing executives are coming up with stupid shit all the time. I could write an entry in this series every day for the next five years and still have a formidable stockpile of stupid to run on. I’m confident there will never be a shortage because a) people will never stop advertising their [...]

Final Fantasy IX Nostalgia Log — Renewed First Impressions!

9
Final Fantasy IX is truly a forgotten classic. Marketed as a celebration of the end of the PS1 era, FFIX was released as the PS2 went global…alongside another (albeit critically superior) PS1 Square game; Chrono Cross. After being spoiled by the cyberpunk boom of FFVII and FFVIII, the masses [...]
