In my personal experience, I have seen many Kickstarter projects squander the funds and goodwill of their backers. We all know what happened with The Good Life. But buried deep in the haze of pessimism, you may find a shining example of a little project that could. 24 Killers announced and funded in 2014 has finally arrived on Steam's shores in the year 2023.

For being an underground title, MOON went on to influence the likes of Toby Fox (Undertale) with its theme of healing the world through love, rather than destroying it with combat. Yoshiro Kimura (Chulip, Rule of Rose, Dandy Dungeon) recently got in touch with his Love-de-lic roots by re-releasing MOON on the Nintendo Switch in 2021. Like many of his games, they're well-beloved cult by a cult audience but rarely acknowledged by the mainstream.

It was the last traditional style Silent Hill game and a controversial entry within the franchise. Personally, I hated this game and thought it was just another blemish on the franchise. Time heals all wounds, right? 10 years later, has my opinion on Silent Hill Downpour softened? We'll take a look at every single version and feature of Silent Hill Downpour to ensure I'm being reasonable in my criticisms. NOTE: Silent Hill Origins, Homecoming, Shattered Memories, Book of Memories, and Downpour belong to the Western developed line of Silent Hill games.

A subscriber wrote to me wanting to know what it was like upgrading from a Playstation 4 to an Xbox Series X. Now, I get accused of being a Sony Pony and an Xbot a lot more than I am comfortable with, so it's time to clear the air! Let's talk about features I respect about both consoles and aspects I miss after upgrading.

Act 1-1 - "The Dream Team" - Shadows of the Damned was created by SUDA51, Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamoka. With a team that great, how could things go wrong? Act 1-2 - "The Lost Game" - This segment covers the initial concept for Shadows of the Damned, a game called "Kurayami." I detail what the game could've been, what was cut, and why it never came to be. Act 1-3 - " Elevator Pitch" - How the EA Partners program killed Kurayami. What happens when you take a creative genius and force him to make Resident Evil 4 again? Act 1-4 - "What Remains" - This segment is a critique of Shadows. Taking what we know about the turmoils of development and applying that framework to the resulting game. *NEW* Act 1-5 -" Serious Moonlight" - It's the 10 year anniversary of Shadows and the series is all but dead. A port, a manga, and a coded message inside another game sparks light to vanquish the shadows of doubt.

These are the raw video clips of the tests I conducted on my PS3 Phat CECHL01 to simulate conditions where the PS3 is no longer apart of the PSN ecosystem. I TRIED TO REACH OUT TO SONY, BUT THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND (pls respond.......) This is an experiment anyone with a PS3 can (and eventually, WILL) try! Please, do not take my word for it - try it out yourself. Remove your CMOS battery or if you have a dead CMOS follow along at home! The more data the better. I wanted to show my methods up front, before I said anything else to alleviate the doubt. I will be following this video with my full explainer on the issue and what this means for the preservation of the PS3 in the future. β§βββββββββββββββββββββββ SUBSCRIBE β βΊ youtube.com/user/SendMeYourScripts?sub_confirmation=1 PATREON β βΊ patreon.com/Hikiko TWITTER β βΊ twitter.com/HikikomoriMediaIs the PS4 Sonys Ticking Timebomb? | More Potential Problems Sony Needs to Answer - HMHikikomori Media2021-03-26 | This may get worse, but I certainly hope these rumors are baseless and Sony will continue to support the PS3, PSP, PSVITA and now the PS4's fate is in question.
