Dating Adzuken – Pyrite Heart
This game is listed as "adult" on MobyGames, but I'm fairly certain it isn't. Instead, it's yet another high school romance, which is pretty normal for the genre. The highlight in Pyrite Hearts is when I dressed in a maid outfit. N-not that I'm into that sort of thing. Baka.

Review – Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour
Duke Nukem 3D was a huge game for me at a time in life when I shouldn't have been playing it. In fact, it probably really screwed up my sexual development. And while the 20th Anniversary World Tour version isn't the best, it gives me an excuse to talk about it. As if I needed one.

Dating Adzuken – Tokyo School Life
For this adventure into dating sims, things go absolutely off the rails. Tokyo School Life makes me feel weird, and ashamed, and uncomfortable. So, I suppose it very accurately captured my high school days. I don't mention this in the article, but this one is made by legendary remaster developer M2.

Review – TroubleDays
Are you ready for some ecchi? Hentai da yo~! I wrote this Troubledays review and pitched it to Destructoid. They passed on it because they weren't quite sure if they wanted to cover the genre. I'm not sure that was actually the whole reason, but it was what I was told. It ended up here, anyway.

Dating Adzuken – Magical Diary: Horse Hall
The first in my series of articles focused on my adventures in dating sims. Looking back well after the fact, starting off with this misadventure was weirdly indicative of how things were going to proceed. But at least I got to go to the prom with a demonic hunk.

Review – Baobabs Mausoleum Episode 3: Un Pato en Muertoburgo
Eeeh, this deep into the Baobabs Mausoleum series, I've lost the faith. There's a lot of personality on display, but also a lot of half-assery. But at least there's this one last episode to get through. And at least we get to find out how Watracio Walpurgus survived a gunshot to the head.

Happy 3 Year Anniversary!
Hi! How have you been? It’s been a while. You look good. The last article I published on the Game Complaint Department was back at the end of April. So, what happened to me? Well, let’s just say that, similar to many others, 2020 hasn’t been kind to me. It’s been three years since the Game Complaint Department opened its…

Review – Retro Game Challenge
If you consider yourself a retro gamer, then Game Center CX might be up your alley, since it's a celebration of old games. It even, appropriately, got its own video games, with the first being localized as Retro Game Challenge. It's a unique way of capturing the bygone era.

Review – Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I've got a history with Animal Crossing going way back to the GameCube era. A new one arrived just in time for Covid lockdowns, which was pretty serendipitous. But can it live up to previous games in the series? No. When I ask that question, it usually means no.

Review – 198X
I am, if nothing else, very sentimental about video games. Not sure if you can tell. It doesn't take much to get me to spin yarns about my childhood and the games that turned me into the wreck you see before me. So 198x appeals to me on a conceptual level.
