Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Review – Batman, Built Different

As a lifelong Lego Batman fan, Legacy of the Dark Knight is nothing short of a dream come true. While I will praise the revamped combat, detailed open world, and charming story, it’s the design philosophy they’re spawned from that makes the game so successful.

Everyone Should Get To Hear Chrono Trigger Music Played By A Symphony

On Saturday, I went to the Music of Square Enix orchestra concert in Seattle as a capper on an extremely good week-long vacation. The concert was pretty good, and it was mainly because they played “Megalomania” from Live A Live as the capper to the first half of it, and also because I got to…
