I /was/ going to do an April Fools post here; in lieu of my normal
list, I'd put up a troll-post. I'd select some of the worst video
games ever written, claim I've played them, and hype them to the
stars. Games like "Alone in the Dark Illumination" or "Postal III" or
"Diablo Immortals". Except, the Internet being what it is, I'm sure
that there are fans of all those games, and thus the joke wouldn't hit
the way it should have. Of course I loved "Rambo: The Video Game",
people would say. "It was great". They wouldn't see the troll, they'd
just see somebody agreeing with their egriously awful taste. And then
I'd have to explain that, no, I didn't actually like those games. How
could I? They were terrible...

So no April Fools here. Just my usual blather. Speaking of which...

Is that the JASON! game or was that another one?

You're thinking of "Heavy Rain", from the same developer. I'd argue
that "Detroit" is a better game, if only because it's QTE are less
annoying, and its story is less insane. But being better than "Heavy
Rain" is a really low bar to clear, and it shouldn't be implied that
makes "Detroit" worth playing.

* Aviators

I have neber heard of this.

It was a freebie on Steam announced here on Feb 23 this year. Because
the topic interested me, and because the visuals looked nice (and also
because the game looked short), I decided to give it a try.

Well, I've been kinda all over the place this month. Mostly was on the
3DS tho. I did beat 3 of the Rhythm Heaven games, got past the terrible
terrible case in Phoenix Wright, and some Mario Kart 7 (Modded, CTGP).

At first I thought you wrote you were playing games on the 3DO and was
surprised not only that you were playing games that old, but that you
had the hardware!
