Welcome to Spocco Square!  It’s a big sporting facility where you’ll play all the Nintendo Switch Sports!  Seems like a neat place to visit, if you like playing sports I suppose, but it ain’t no Wuhu Island!  It kind of reminds me of those touristy sporting goods stores that have been popping up around near where I live lately, like Scheel’s.  Anyway, come with me on a tour as we take a look at all the games you can play in this game.

Getting bargain bin comics is always fun for me. I get to check out a new series without much financial risk and there are usually some old video game ads within. These are from two issues of the comic Terra about a female hero who can control rocks. 

In the summer of 2000, I needed a new game to play. At that time, I was still a PS1 gamer. Being a RPG lover, my two choices were Square's Chrono Cross and Valkyrie Profile, a game from a resurgent Enix and Tri-Ace, makers of Star Ocean: The Second Story from a year prior. Of the two, Valkyrie Profile looked more interesting, so that's what I went with. And while I did later play Chrono Cross, I wasn't too impressed by it. But Valkyrie Profile went on to become one of my favorite PS1 RPGs, and considering how many of those there were, that was pretty impressive. 

It was last weekend (May 7th) in my area, and I picked up a half dozen or so previews for new or recently released comics. Most of these inside contained excerpts from full comics to come. It got me looking forward to a few. 

I’ve got another batch of reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  Sorry nothing clever this time.  OK let’s begin!

I found more interesting video game print ads in old comics I picked up in the bargain bin at my comic shop (Ren and Stimpy and Pirates of Dark Water no. 1).

I kind of stopped writing pretty much everywhere and not just electronically for a while. I'm going to blame it on stress and anxiety. Anyway, I'm back, and hopefully for more than just this one blog entry.
