Finally, the video I've been making on Ace Combat is finished! It's nearly 50 minutes long. I simply couldn't hold back and wanted to make this sort of video so hopefully folks enjoy it when it goes live (not sure when yet - but soon)

The scenery of Ace Combat 8 is truly breathtaking when you take a moment to look closely at it. Just beautiful.

Still working on my video! I decided to do a retrospective style piece specifically on the games I ignored in my AC7 video (Zero and onward). First 20 minutes talk about those games then I get into AC8 so it's taking some time! Hopefully finished soon.

It’s been a crazy month for games with a huge range of killer titles but, man, Ace Combat 8 and Galactic Racer at the same time is so good. Both games encompass the things I love most in gaming and I feel fortunate to have each of them to enjoy.

With all the blue trails talk in Wolverine, I think it’s worth showing an example. It’s used to represent smell in select instances like this. However, it’s not a GPS trail - you’ll note it lingers in a specific area but doesn’t actually direct you. Also, waypoint markers are optional and off here.

I played this too. It’s a nice 8/10 I would say and feels like a PS2-era character action game which, honestly, is not a bad thing for me. Regardless of that, the tech is quite good with excellent image quality.
