Last month brought us the long-awaited release of Final Fantasy VII Remake. It was something fans had been waiting for since Square Enix showcased a rebuilt FFVII intro sequence on PlayStation 3 hardware at E3 in 2005. Final Fantasy VII is undoubtedly one of the more popular Final Fantasy games, but did you know this isn’t the first time they completely remade one of the games from this beloved franchise?
The Analogue Super Nt was by far one of my favorite things that I purchased in the last couple of years. If you also picked one up, make sure to keep it updated to get the latest features and fixes. The Super Nt doesn’t have built-in networking hardware, so you can’t just download the update from the menus. Thankfully though, updating the firmware yourself is pretty straightforward. As long as you have a computer and an SD card, you should have no problems.

When I was planning on launching this website, I thought it would be funny if I went back and republished some stuff I wrote many years ago. I found some video game and tech reviews, some guides and walkthroughs, and some exhaustive E3 and WWDC rundowns. I’ve published more of them in the archive section.
The oldest review I was able to find was this 18-year-old one I wrote for SquareSoft’s The Bouncer on Sony PlayStation 2. I assume I wrote it in 2002 as I didn’t seem to include a publish date, unfortunately. My only clues are that it references Final Fantasy X, which came out at the end of 2001. And the About Me page of the site it was on included my age at the time. Since I don’t know when it was published, I’m just posting it here instead of the archives.

If you’ll excuse the obligatory introduction post, I’ll do my best to keep it short.
Does the world really need someone else talking about video games on the Internet? Probably not. But with that in mind, I hope to contribute my perspective thoughtfully and not just add to the glut.
I plan to share video game-related content in both long and short forms that range from retro to the current generation and beyond. Sometimes we’ll get technical, other times editorial, and on rare occasions, completely nonsensical. Hopefully, you find it fun, interesting, or helpful1. Please let me know what you think.
