It was 2002. My mom brought me to Target to get the Game Boy Advance. For what reason? I don’t really know and I can’t be bothered to find out why. But with that purchase solidified my love for the medium. And I’d like to share some of the memories I have with this delightful device.

Every year I get a new Kirby adventure may not be a good one, but every year with one is definitely a little better than it was. This year I was lucky enough to have both brand new adventures and revisit old ones. And what beautiful little adventures they were.

Between spending more time in the arcades of Yakuza 5′s Kamurocho, and a general renewed interest in Wii games, I finally returned Namco’s Taiko no Tatsujin series in a big way. Taiko is dead simple, a rhythm game in the strictest sense. There’s one lane, and only two ways to hit a note, inside or outside, red or blue. After all, it’s meant to imitate the performance of Japan’s traditional festival drums of the same name.

I’m perhaps the biggest Metal Gear Solid fan I know. Barring the purchase of accessories and other paraphernalia, I’ve analyzed Snake’s speech about memes at the end of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for my final in my critical analysis class about a year back, and vividly remember staying up one night of my sophomore year in high school trying to piece together the entire series and when they took place.

Max Payne 3 sat in my PlayStation 3 hard drive for about close to a year now. I got the game last fall as a part of a Red Dead Redemption bundle PSN was offering for $5. Now as this summer draws to a close I decided to tackle the game in further to slim down my backlog. I didn’t know to expect from the game to be honest. I know that some people enjoyed it and loathed it. Clickbliss’ very own editor-in-chief Omar seemed to enjoy it (after all, why else would they have two copies of the game) – so I decided to play it and throw out my two cents on the game to the sea of nuanced opinions out there. (spoiler: I enjoyed it immensely)

2015 is over and that means I get to brew up a videogames list. Everyone loves reading lists right? 2015 despite all its releases was a soft year for me. Nonetheless I played some lovely and disappointing videogames last year.

films d'hier is a new column we’re introducing to pretty much be a place where my love letters to films can live. These are more opinion and personal taste pieces for the most part. But a massive chunk of my favorites are the undeniable classics if you’ve seen them. Relive them, and if you haven’t and don’t mind spoilers, read on.
12 Years a Slave (2013) by Steve McQueen is based on a true story which follows Solomon Northup, a free man kidnapped and sold as a slave, in the years before the Civil War. Solomon, now called Platt, is thrown into a life of slavery for 12 years. Until one man, Bass, helps Solomon by sending a letter to the post office for him, helping return him back to his family.

Creative Assembly, or more likely SEGA, is once again holding consumers’ wallets hostage with a controversial preorder DLC. This time, it’s with the new Chaos Warrior Race pack for Total War: Warhammer. With the worldwide release date of Total War: Warhammer set for April 28, 2016, comes the tide of new preorders and preorder offers. There’s only one problem. Creative Assembly’s idea of encouraging preorders, is offering a relatively large portion of the game to early buyers, despite that many fans believe the content should be shipped on release. Needless to say, this announcement of the Chaos Warrior race pack has made waves among the Total War community.
