Almost finished with Final Fantasy IV. This game has it all! We've got: 💎 Bad good guys 💎 Good bad guys 💎 Large robot 💎 Moon Santa 💎 Pig-frog 💎 CaPiTaLiZaTiOn 💎 Singer/songwriter All this and (quite possibly too much) more this episode on Final Fancast: finalfancast.com/the-foose-is...
The people who found out won't see all the nasty shit you write about them, but your friends who are fucking around will.
Why Fem&Ms but no Testoblerone??
Today in RPG history... Namco Bandai released Tales of Xillia for PS3 in Japan on Sep 8, 2011. This ARPG is the 13th entry in the Tales series and it had to do some heavy-lifting on the PS3 where, let's face it, there really weren't a ton of incredible JRPGs. Have you played it?
I got the two Xillia games on my ps3 and they've kinda been sitting the backlog for years, i did try it for a couple hours it was really nice but I haven't touched my PS3 in a long time now and it's hard to go back to that controller >.>
The JRPG ever made
So I take a break from social media for ONE WEEKEND and I miss the North American anniversary of friggin Final Fantasy VII??? Love it or hate it, happy belated anniversary to the very first RPG ever made:

I think I should make a regular, monthly call to action for indie developers to reply with their games, leave a description, and relevant links, instead of just doing it infrequently whenever I like. So why not a September #ShowCasey? INDIE DEVS, I WANT YOUR GAMES ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW!
So close to finishing this game for the first time since I'm on Orphan of Kos and I just have the final boss after that but I feel it in my bones... THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.

Hey everyone, this is my first stream back from my extended illness break, so please wish me all the luck, gonna play some chill Snowrunner! Signal boosts hugely appreciated, maybe quote this post and be all like "omg, Casey's back!"? www.twitch.tv/caseyexplosion
I'm pretty glad it's coming out but I'm probably not gonna be playing it for a long time, I didn't like the first one that much and haven't finished it yet.
Thanks it's probably because I haven't got a hair cut in a while.
You remind me of the babe
Guess I'm never beating the good taste allegations
You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up when I played the first one, someday...
Each and every one of us needs joy in our lives, we need art and culture and expression and levity and it mightn't feel as important as talking about what is threatening us at any given time, but it absolutely is and we all need it to not just live but to thrive. Let us all be utter doofuses.
reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.

Oh! I just started it the other day, a friend gifted it to me, it's a lotta fun even if I don't know that much about w40k
Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

Who was your first Final Fantasy crush?
I mean, I'm not ashamed.
Steiner kinda becomes a Samwise Gamgee through character development. Reason number 19563 why FFIX rocks.
I loved that game so much on PS2. The graphics, the characters. The combat. Amazing. I did suck at it though and would rage a bit playing it...
Happy birthday to Odin Sphere🔮 originally released in Japan 18 years ago today! It has all the style of any Atlus/Vanillaware RPG, as you can see. Have you played this one?
I finished the lineart on my big sword Final Fantasy-esque lady:
It's Aloha Friday! What's your favorite island in a video game?
I did, my cousin had it when we were growing up. It wasn't entirely my cup of tea, the gameplay was compicated and confusing. The story was stellar though, and the music.
Hey, quick question. Guilty Gear Strive doesn't have microtransactions, right? It's just paid DLCs as I understand. Do I have that correct?
if you're playing Bridget and tap the stick a little that's a micro trans action
Sooo many hot takes and contrarians online, but what's one game that you would say DESERVES its long-standing, well-documented, unexaggerated, positive critical reception? I'd suggest:
Final Fantasy VIII Review: A Unique Masterpiece (Become a Patron and help us grow and make more fun FF stuff for just $1) We wrap our conversation on FFVIII w/ thoughts on its core themes & values & try our best to explain why this quirky game lives so deeply inside the hearts of so many people:

Alternatively, no games is truly complete, there's a lot on the cutting room floor and deadlines devs have to suffer over. Or you could say all games are complete, depending on how you look at it.
This is doing the rounds, so I do want to re-iterate with as much emphasis as I can, nothing kills my interest in a game faster than seeing AI generated content. And not just because I object to AI on an ethical level, I see it as a huge red flag. Do *ANYTHING* else, draw placeholder MS Paint art.
Yeah, as soeone who plays a lot of Visual Novels, I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt at first. Like ok, you don't think you're enough artist to draw for your game, that means you're gonna focus on great righting right? RIGHT? Nope, bad AI so far 100% means everything else is shit too.
In grappling with social media's toxic positivity, I've met gamers who have told me things like all games are good, there are no bad games, and there are no limits on graphic content in games. Wonder how they'd explain this one? If you don't remember, one of the women in this was underage.
And had her tits out, that's kind of important... And yeah I agree, forced positivity on games is weird.
you're gonna wanna see this
In case you missed it, I added Horizon Forbidden West to my curator page. It's good!

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!
Folks might wanna check this out if you want some seriously oldschool Diablo vibes
Dooblo you say, why it's ma favorite
That's true, and immensely annoying.
Hey folks, live now with more Asylum! A first-person point & click adventure from the developer of Scratches. Heads up it's not an accurate portrayal of mental illness, more of a pulpish, Lovecraftian kinda vibe! Anyway, come join me for spooky goings on in the ASYLUM! www.twitch.tv/caseyexplosion
Ask me about my youtube channel
Where can I find the latest and most awesome Casey Explosion content? Is it www.youtube.com/@CaseyExplos... ?
I grew up in the 80s/90s and I remember some art critics (mostly movies) doing just that. So I dunno.

What if Akira Toriyama drew Chrono Trigger?
REALLY makes you think
Sonic the Hedgehog 2. My 314th favorite game. And the ONLY Sonic game on my list. You heard me. I think Sonic Mania would make it if I spent time with that one. Not my favorite Sega Genesis game but probably the best one I played. Sorry, Mario. You wait.
Unsorry.
No lies
Honestly, I can't be mad at lesbians like, they figured out women are rad, like, they get it. We have that in common.
I gotta admit, at first I didn't really like the new intro song but since I started playing Royal in december and listening to it more (also on spotify when it randomly appears) it's grown on me. I like it now.
To an asshole, all virtue is "virtue signaling."
CV is a little more complicated than most for that question because it fluctuates in genres from side scroller action platformers to ... metroid games. As a whole I'd say Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night, and Aria of Sorrow are the three overall best candidates for a newcomer's first game.
Where would you recommend a new player start with the Castlevania series?
Call it what you want, I tend to call it toxic positivity and maybe that's inaccurate but the fact remains some people online like to pretend everything it always great and they love all of it And it is exhausting.
they have to attack him by calling him gay or trans or whatever because they can't really argue the politics, which they neither understand nor care about
i hate the discover feed libs mocking elon musk in bigoted ways for the obvious reason but also because it stems solely from him being on the wrong 'side.' if he did all the same shit but in support of biden they'd be buying cybertrucks. "we've got the world's greatest inventor on our side!" etc
I think I'm slowly but surely turning into a Persona fan, kinda. After years of false starts with P3, 4, and 5, finally finishing one of them (5) and then more recently playing Persona 3 Reload all the way through really makes me love these games more and more.
Top 10 games, horror edition: Detention Silent Hill (yes, the first one, not 2) Alien Isolation Mundaun Signalis Resident Evil 2 Crow Country Evil Within 2 Darkwood My Friendly Neighborhood And also: Mouthwashing, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 7, Dredge, Amnesia: The Bunker
14-year-old me: I'm really obsessed with these JRPGs. They're so mature, and the stories really speak to me on a personal level. Friends: Oh? Like what? 14-year-old me: Um... oh... nothing in particular.
For some reason, Charles Dickouts was not as popular an author as his similarly named contemporary
Get you a Ninja guy, den.
I can't wait, Amnesia was one of the biggest pleasant surprises of my gaming life. Went in really thinking it wouldn't be all that. It was all that.
OK I've been sitting on this for a while. It has been many months since I played Persona 3 Reload and a few years since I played Persona 5 and I've just come to the conclusion while debating with myself in the shower that P3 really does have the best story and characters overall.
That's pretty sick.

I like BlueSky because of how it abbreviates, that way I can say "Yeah, I'm back on my BS"

The perfect FF post doesn't exi--
Great game, hasn't had gameplay quite this demanding in a long time and kinda surprised I beat it considering I got stuck on multiple bosses. Feels good tho. Probably best gameplay and story in the whole series and as always for Metroid, an absolute joy to explore and pick up all the items.
I finished Metroid Dread y'all. had to take a couple days off due to how bad the final boss was kicking my ass but I came back stronger than ever and whipped the bastard.
Here's my review of Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993) [SNES] Have you played it? Even more than that... have you beaten it??
