Saints Row Reboot: Not A Review House Hexagon 2022-08-31 | Saints Row Reboot has finally been released. Sadly. I know many of you are no doubt expecting me to review it, just as I have the other games. But let me ask you a question: am I a hypocrite? I said I was not going to buy the game- and I meant it. No one should buy games with disrespectful developers, who ignore their fans requests. No. Instead, I shall break down the cycle of why most triple AAA video games released today are absolutely garbage, and give you some pointers in how you can contribute to raising the bar.But the truth is, you'll never understand why the gaming industry is in the pitiful state that it's in, unless you delve back into reality.My Real Life Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbwc_5TAViaj0mcK0JrgJ3g/videos#saintsrow
$100: The New Day One Triple AAA Price House Hexagon 2023-09-22 | Inspired by the launch of Starfield, today I'll be documenting a new practice by game publishers that I call the "Double release", and explaining to you as such why $100 will soon be the unfortunate price required to pay in order to play most triple video AAA games on day one of their release. That is, their actual release, of course. Liked this? Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/AlexHexagon Want more?

How Saudi Arabia Accidentally Killed Volition House Hexagon 2023-09-12 | This is the story of how the Savvy Games Group, a gaming focused investment arm of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Saudi Arabia, accidentally forced the Swedish mega corporation, Embracer Group, to shut down the 30 year old American gaming studio, Volition.Sound complicated? It should! But it also shouldn't! The gaming industry has been headed in this unfathomably complex corporate layered maze of confusion for decades, and in this production, rather than talk about the Saints Row Reboot, wokeness, or even Volition directly, we'll be discussing this issue of increasing economic globalisation in the gaming industry, and how it harms their futures.

GOOMERS: The Truth About “Video Game Addiction” House Hexagon 2023-07-03 | "Video game addiction" is a term that has always annoyed me. While it's obvious that some (these days, many) video games are designed to keep the player hooked, usually for nefarious financial reasons, I believe it takes a very special kind of person to be willing to abandon their reality in favour of a virtual world. Today, I'll explain what I believe to be the real underlying reasons why some people seem to have their lives taken over by video games, and become, not "addicts", but what I like to call.. Goomers.

Saints Row 4: Unelected House Hexagon 2022-03-08 | Saints Row 4, the first Saints Row game, that isn't a Saints Row game. I mean, I thought the last one was bad enough, but this just takes the cake. I didn't want to make this, but you, you annoyance, you forced my hand. To think I actually went back and played this just for you. You know not how grateful you should be. Aliens.. give me a break. Hey, if you want to see some REAL aliens, look at our governments. There's no way those guys are human. Too evil. Checkmate, athiests.
Gaming Fanboys House Hexagon 2022-02-05 | I shall take a look at the specimen known as the "Fanboy", specifically of the gaming variety. Everyone knows the gaming industry is going down the drain. Honestly, when I visualise "gaming industry" in physical metaspace, I imagine it to be just one giant casino filled with psychopaths. That is gaming today. It's a nightmare.People like to moan at gaming companies, and rightfully so. However, there is no company without customers. Ultimately, the only reason why gaming companies can get away with what they do, is because their customers let them, and the fanboy is the worst of the worst.
Hypnospace Outlaw: The Internet We Lost House Hexagon 2022-01-24 | Hypnospace Outlaw, GO!The Internet of today is not how it always has been, on the contrary, it has undergone three very distinct and clearly observable eras throughout its thus far short life, and throughout this I shall attempt to explain them to you. But, even more importantly, to get one to understand what it is exactly that we've lost since such the mythical 1990's internet era.
Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard: Hello, Antitrust? House Hexagon 2022-01-19 | Microsoft just bought Activision Blizzard. Jesus Christ.With every year that passes, corporations are consolidating their wealth and power via buying out vast sums of subsidiary companies. Such gargantuan purchases would've been unimaginable just a few years ago, but alas, welcome to Cyberpunk 2022.Spurred on by a combination of unfettered free trade and distracted by intentionally divisive fake social progressivism, the western world slums ever forward, into the Bioshock style dystopia, that at this point, it well and truly deserves.Overly dramatic? Maybe. Or perhaps you're just not reading between the lines!Smart people! Come and answer some polls in the House Hexagon discord server: https://discord.gg/59uFanj7QT

Halo Infinite: This Aint It Chief! House Hexagon 2021-12-16 | Halo Infinite came out a few days ago. Halo used to be a huge part of my life back in the Xbox 360 days. Me and my buddies used to spend hours every day on Halo 3 and Halo Reach, and such times are some of my most cherished game memories. However, Halo 4 and Halo 5 didn't really speak to me or my pals, and thus, we skipped them. But now, with my game pass subscription in hand and bugger all to lose, after over a decade of absense from the franchise, I decided to dare try Halo Infinite. Here are my thoughts.By the way, completely off topic, but did you know I had to render and upload this twice because of a TINY mistake in the first version? What mistake I hear you ask? YOU'LL NEVER KNOW! That's why I redid it! But hey, I hope you appreciate all the effort I put in for you!
Saints Row The Third: A Brutal Betrayal House Hexagon 2021-11-30 | Saints Row The Third was and still is an extremely polarising game. For those to whom it was their initiation into the Saints Row franchise, they often speak of it quite warmly. However, for those whom had played what came before it, the game was often seen as a significant fall from grace, and most of all, a severe transformation of persona...and not for the better.So who's right, and who's wrong? Well, no one, really. But I have my thoughts! ..and I'm ready to tell you them.
GTA Definitive Edition: What, Who, How? House Hexagon 2021-11-22 | GTA Definitive Edition has been out for quite some time now and people have had time to disgest it. Sadly, this modern iteration of the original early 2000's trilogy is an absolute disaster in almost every regard. Filled with bugs, glitches, and a plethora of other issues, needless to say, this launch certainly won't be remembered fondly.However, what infurirates me is just how many people are blaming the wrong people for such a disaster, and how very poorly informed the general public at large are on such corporate affairs. In this, I attempt to provide some clarity into what is wrong, who the company to blame for such is, and how, in the end, it doesn't really matter regardless.Also if interested join the House Hexagon discord server: https://discord.gg/59uFanj7QT
Saints Row Reboot: The Disaster Delayed House Hexagon 2021-11-18 | Saints Row Reboot has been delayed, parting from its original release date of February 2022 all the way to August 2022. Frankly, I have borderline zero intrest in playing the game at all at this point, as my faith in Volition remains at an all time low. However, many have asked me what my thoughts are on this, and considering it's been quite some time since I sated you with some Saints Row goodness, here you indeed are!Also, jokes aside, I like Jim Boone. He's a most charismatic gentleman.Check out my really tiny real life channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbwc_5TAViaj0mcK0JrgJ3g/videosAlso if interested join the House Hexagon discord server: https://discord.gg/59uFanj7QT
Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Stunning Achievement House Hexagon 2021-11-12 | Microsoft Flight Simulator came out back in 2020 for PC, and 2021 for the Xbox..and heck, was it about time! Its predecessor, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, came out way back in 2006. After over a decade of development, expectations for this next generation of flight simulator was certainly...high. Now look, I've never been one for flying, aircraft, plioting, you get the idea, but my word, even I am in awe at this- and I want you to be too! Throughout this I will show you the joy of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and visit some well known places in the process.Calling all Gigachads! Join the House Hexagon discord server!

Mass Effect: A Decade Late House Hexagon 2021-11-06 | Mass Effect, developed by Bioware, was a hit space styled RPG released all the way back in the greatest year of all time, 2007. Despite being out at this point for over a decade and a half, I had still yet to give it a go, despite recommendation after recommendation demanding me to do so. That changes now! I decided to finally dabble in the first Mass Effect game to see just what the whole fuss is about, and perhaps more importantly, to tell you if you should too. The answer is probably yes, by the way. Behold, the retrospective!Calling all Gigachads! Join the HexRadio discord server for some great live talk radio with me!

Resident Evil Biohazard: Halloween Special House Hexagon 2021-10-31 | Resident Evil VII Biohazard may be the seventh Resident Evil game in the series, but, believe it or not, it is my first! That's right, shocking I am aware. Truth be told I've never really been one for horror games as I tend not to want to simulate fear...however! After my experience with this unexpected gem, I think that may just be about to change. Capcom really did a steller job with this one back in 2017. In time I believe this will become a true Halloween classic. Hopefully I can do this game justice enough to convince you to give it a try!Calling all Gigachads!

Peggle: The Game For Gigachads House Hexagon 2021-10-23 | Peggle is a puzzle game developed by Pop Cap Games that was released in the greatest year of all time: 2007. I was just taking a gander on Xbox Game Pass and couldn't believe the wave of nostalgia wash over me upon seeing this title oncemore. Truly an arcade classic, and if you haven't tried it out yet, then now is the time!Calling all Gigachads! Join the HexRadio discord server for some great live talk radio with me!

Saints Row 2: The Fan Favourite House Hexagon 2021-10-15 | Saints Row 2 is often hailed as the greatest of all the Saints Row games, being a magnificent mix of serious and satire, without trending too much in either direction. Today, I shall go back in time and take a gander at why so many claim this to be thier favourite of the series- and give my thoughts as such!But yeah folks, I'm back to doing talk radio!

Saints Row 1: The REAL Saints Row House Hexagon 2021-09-29 | Saints Row 1 is my favourite Saints Row game in the series, as well as one of my favourite games of all time. It baffles me just how seriously underrated it is- and that's why I've made this absolute monolith, to try to persuade you to go and play it. We're gonna be delving into everything that Saints Row 1 has to offer: from its gangs, city, missions, activities, cars....pretty much everything that isn't Johnny Gat's Frosted Tips, because as we all know, that's never happening.To those interested in joining the Saints Row 1 Multiplayer Discord server, come on in here: https://discord.gg/s5XZzFUBmM
Console Scalpers: Welcome To Next Gen House Hexagon 2021-09-17 | Console Scalpers have been a massive pain ever since the launch of the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5. It's been almost impossible to get ahold of a next generation console without some serious military grade preparation. As of the time of recording, it's been almost a year since the next gen consoles released. Despite this however, hardly anyone has actually managed to get their hands on one.Throughout this, I'm going to explain the situation, how it could've been prevented, as well as highlighting some terrible scams, and other nonsense to look out for.
Saints Row Reboot: Deep Shillver House Hexagon 2021-09-11 | Saints Row Reboot has transformed the Saints Row community significantly since its stunningly terrible announcement. Ever since then, I've been inundated with requests to do more research into the publishing company behind the game, "Deep Silver". Originally, I believed there wasn't much more that needed to be said in regards to them. Turns out, I was shockingly wrong, as they have in place by far one of the strangest programmes I think I've ever seen from any video game company in my life: The Deep Silver Creators Collective.
Saints Row Reboot: Lets Get Political House Hexagon 2021-09-05 | Saints Row reboot has had a mixed reception since its disasterous announcement, to say the least. At the time of this production, despite the game not even being out yet, some fans have taken to accuse the game of seeming to be somewhat subsersively political. Myself included! But is this position without merit, or a serious concern? Here's my thoughts.Consider the title a warning. This WILL get political!
Saints Row Reboot: A Lesson In Disrespect House Hexagon 2021-08-31 | Saints Row Reboot hasn't gone down well with Saints Row fans, including myself, for many different reasons. But one of the biggest reasons for that, in my opinion, is the perceived disrespect from Volition towards us.Throughout this I'm going to give a brief overview on why I feel disrespected as a fan of the series for over a decade- and the two potential timelines that await us.
Saints Row Reboot: The Death of Saints Row House Hexagon 2021-08-27 | The Saints Row reboot looks like atypical mass market nonsense. After 8 years of Saints Row fans asking Volition to go back to the series' gangster roots, they instead decided to completely ignore all such requests and instead conjure some basic generic garbage instead. Throughout this I'm going to give a brief retrospective on the series, as well as explain why it is that game development studios, like Volition, repeatedly like to ignore their fans requests.(SR1 gameplay was by "Saints Row Videos", check out his channel as it's awesome)

WoW 2: The World House Hexagon 2021-08-12 | Today I'm going to talk about the World of the World of Warcraft in World of Warcraft 2. Very simple stuff folks. No, but seriously, Azeroth has become way too large and dense for its own good. It's time to slim the planet down and bring people together again.
WoW 2: The Graphics House Hexagon 2021-08-10 | What graphics a supposed World of Warcraft 2 would have is probably the most asked question that is pondered by those hoping for it to happen. Many believe that the game would look ultra realistic, using something akin to the Unreal Engine or something like that. I have a much different mindset.
WoW 2: Why Its Necessary House Hexagon 2021-08-08 | WoW 2 AKA World of Warcraft 2. The current game is simply far too awful bother iterating upon. If Blizzard doesn't stop releasing failed expansions for this disaster of a game soon- they will barely have any players left to keep the lights on! World of Warcraft is in desperate need of a sequel and fast- and if you're not convinced yet, then let me try to explain why.
Players Vs Perverts: Part III House Hexagon 2021-08-03 | After the state of California filed a lawsuit against Blizzard Entertainment, I decided to ponder back on my time complaining about their lack of action in regards to their abysmal standards in keeping their players safe ingame. Thus, after one and a half years of absense, Players Vs Perverts has returned!

Why Wrath Of The Lich King Is Overrated House Hexagon 2021-06-30 | I am back again with another retrospective that absolutely no one will watch about a World of Warcraft expansion. This time, I shall be having a look back at the fan favorite: Wrath of the Lich King. People like to remember Wrath of the Lich King as if it was a flawless gem that had no faults, but in my view, it's time to take off the rose tinted goggles and see this expansion for what it really was: an extremely flawed and damaging mess. With that being said of course, as always, we aren't just going to look at the bad of what Wrath of the Lich King offered, but the good too. We're going to take an entire overview of just how Wrath of the Lich King changed WoW in its entirety. The good, the bad- and the ugly! So go get yourself an ICE COLD Mountain Dew and let's do this. Oh yeah- and be sure to watch this at 60 frames per second. You have no idea how long this took to upload.
Memories of Mcmana: Part III House Hexagon 2021-05-29 | Behold, the final episode of Memories of Mcmana- with a SPICY! warning too no less.

The Warriors Game: Can You Dig It? House Hexagon 2021-04-28 | Can you count suckers? I say the future, is ours! If you...can count. Or in this case, game! The Warriors Game! Released by Rockstar Toronto in 2005 for the PS2 and Xbox, this game is an underrated masterpiece in almost every way- and that's why I want to show it to you. All we have to do...is keep up the general truce. We go over ONE FEATURE AT A TIME! No but seriously I think I went quite off the rails on this one, especially near the end. Didn't expect it to be this long, but hey, the more the merrier right? CAN YOU DIG IT?
Deus Ex: The Most Important Game Ever Made House Hexagon 2021-04-17 | Deus Ex developed by Ion Storm is an early 2000's gem that is, in my opinion, the most important game ever made. A complex action RPG at its core, with the veneer of an FPS, but with an unreal story behind the scenes. Considering the state of our modern world, the story of Deus Ex really requires no explanation or retrospective- as we're seemingly living in it as we speak! Indeed, it is a weird one- and there's certainly not much else out there like it. Go grab yourself a lemon (or lime) sit back- and take it easy...or perhaps...don't take it easy? Whatever.
Intel Bleep AKA The Worst Idea Ever House Hexagon 2021-04-09 | "Intel Bleep is an amazing idea and I am a huge fan!"...said someone at Intel Corporation's Headquarters, somehow. No but seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a more absurd idea than this one. The last thing this world needs is more corporations getting involved in social issues. You can't remove words out of the dictionary if you keep ensuring they have power.
Why Reddit Is A Complete Joke House Hexagon 2021-04-04 | Greg's alarm strikes at 7 AM, as it always does. Greg knows what that means- it's time for work. Greg wishes his wife a good day, but she just, as ever, ignores him. Greg goes to the bathroom and looks in the mirror. His hair is slowly starting to bald, as it does when you're in your 30's. "At least I have a beard", he thinks to himself as he flexes his non-existent muscles, showing off his Horde logo tattoo that he definietly doesn't regret. "God bless America".Greg goes in his car and drives to work, listening to his mid 2000's CD on the radio. Greg doesn't like to talk about his job. Secretly, he's not proud of it. It's not the job he thought he would be doing at this point in his life. "But at least it pays the bills..." he repeats to himself.After another 8 hours of a gruelling corporate shift, Greg returns home exhausted. As soon as he comes through the door, he is hounded by his wife. Greg's Wife yells "You got the money?" Greg responds in an exhausted fashion: "Yes dear...it's in the bank." Greg's wife then shrugs and begins to browse Amazon for the next product that will justify her existence for the next few days. "Phew, what a day. Time to enjoy myself.", Greg thinks to himself as he goes into his room.Greg turns on his i9 dual SLI Nvidia RTX 3080Ti gaming PC and opens up his favourite game: World of Warcraft Classic. Greg only likes to play the classic version of the game. "They don't make games like this anymore. The retail version was totally ruined." Greg reminds himself. Greg logs on his level 35 Troll Warrior and continues to level up in Desolace, listening to AC/DC.As Greg was levelling, he noticed people arguing in the world chat. Apparently Blizzard had announced that they were adding something called a "boost". Apparently, you now could pay real money to get ahead. Greg never had the time to reach max level, as he was too busy working- and even when he wasn't, he was busy looking after his 7 sons and 5 daughters. It always annoyed Greg how he couldn't catch up to those damn 20 year olds anymore. "Some of us have lives..." Greg repeated to himself. "If I was in my 20's still...I'd be just as hardcore as them!" he repeated to himself.But with the boost, no longer would Greg have to worry about his lack of time. Now, he could work for his corporate bosses and then spend his hard earned Federal Reserve Freshly Printed United States Dollars to catch up. "Don't like it, don't buy it!", Greg told everyone on the Internet. In May 2021, World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade Classic was released to the world. Greg boosted his Troll Warrior to level 58 on the first day it came out, gladly paying the 60 dollar fee, (after asking his wife for permission, of course). It took Greg another 7 months to get to level 70, but when he did, he felt such a sense of pride and accomplishment. Greg cracked his knuckles and sat back in his chair. "Still got it", he said aloud. Being max level, it was finally time for him to raid, just like the good ol' days. Greg ended up joining a guild called Proud Dads, a guild specifically for intellectuals over 30. "No zoomers!" was their only rule. "What more could you ever need?" Greg chuckled to himself and his newfound "dadbros" on Discord, while browsing high quality intellectual memes on his favourite subreddit r/classicwow.Unfortunately, as time went on, Greg soon realised that raiding was too hard, as he didn't have the time to grind gold for flasks and flying. "Some of us have lives..." Greg once again reminded himself. Fortunately, Blizzard was listening and decided to implement a new system known as "The WoW Token". "We believe in giving players more ways to enjoy our games" said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick in an interview.There, Greg stood, on his level 70 boosted character, on his token bought flying mount, wearing his trading card game store bought tabard. "Just like the good ol' days" Greg said, with a tear rolling down his cheek.Greg sat back in his chair and closed his eyes, thinking back to 2007. He was in college, had a bright future ahead of him. He would raid with his firends, also in his 20's, calling all the casuals "noobz" as he enjoyed his hard earned epics. Life was so much simpler. Greg burst into tears thinking back at the memories of his past- but also looking at himself today. He knows that he was a mere shadow of his past self. Never would he be the hardcore maverick he was back in the day. Never would be relive the paradise of his past. Forever, he would go onwards, living in his non-Hexagonal House, working at his boring corporate job for a family that hates him, living a life of lies. As when the truth hurts- lies are all we have to keep us going."Just like..." Greg paused, wiping away his tears. "The good ol' days..."Greg then saw the time, got in bed- and prepared for work tomorrow."Some of us have lives..."
Why The Burning Crusade Classic Is A Joke House Hexagon 2021-04-01 | The Burning Crusade Classic is a complete joke, mostly due to the not so controversial enough level boost. Bobby Kotick and his sidekick Jay Allen Brack have struck once again! I refuse to play this joke of a rerelease and so should you. I must say however, I am not too shocked to see the shills in r/classicwow out in great force- as well as the many other pay to win scribes. From no changes to this? What a complete disaster.
Dramafangs Most Wanted: Part II House Hexagon 2021-03-09 | Warzerk continues on his quest to slay every Alliance he can find on the rejuvinated Fresh Crusade Dramafan- I mean Dragonfang server. What wonders shall await him today? Well, there's only one way to find out. Grab yourself a mountain dew and let's witness in awe the joys of some hardcore Redridge Mountains ganking. Or perhaps more...survival! That's right. Those Alliance fellows won't just go down without a fight you know!
Dramafangs Most Wanted: Part I House Hexagon 2021-03-07 | On the 5th March 2021, the Fresh Crusade began. Though World of Warcraft Classic came out all the way back in 2019, there are some who did not get to experience it at launch. Thus, with the Fresh Crusade, thousands of players have chosen to reroll all at the same time on the same realm. The realm.....of Dragonfang. A realm, that I just so happened to have already played on, years in advance. If you know me, I think you can understand where this is going.
Why The Burning Crusade Was Awesome House Hexagon 2021-02-24 | World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade was released all the way back in January 2007. Yes, really. We're all boomers now. Has it really been over a decade since those annoying Blood Elves? A lot sure has changed in the world of Azeroth since then. Join me, as I take a most emotional look back at the expansion I started playing WoW in.We're going to take a lengthly dive into almost everything this expansion had to offer. The good- the bad- and the ugly. From Outland, to Flying, to the Blood Elves, Draenei, Jewelcrafting, I mean you name it!Also, no, this has naught to do with The Burning Crusade Classic that was announced when I was halfway through making this. This is purely a retrospective on the REAL Burning Crusade, not that boost filled garbage- of which I have a LOT to say about. But that time is not now. For now my friend: we look back- and enjoy.
Wario Land 4: Nintendos Weirdest Platformer House Hexagon 2021-01-24 | A retrospective on my greatest achievement, Wario Land 4 for the Gameboy Advance! Speaking of greatness, this is by far the greatest platformer ever made. Nintendo really knows how to make great games on limited hardware, that much I will give them. Anyway, join me as I adventure through the purple passage, the emerald passage, the ruby passage, the topaz passage and the sapphire passage- and get some treasure on the way!Gameplay was originally by Aaron Munroe.
Deus Ex Human Revolution: A Delightful Dystopia House Hexagon 2021-01-16 | My retrospective on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, AKA, the Cyberpunk before Cyberpunk. What a gem from 2011 this is. Set in a dystopian 2027 whereby the media is corrupt, a shadowy elite dictates all policies and humanity is divided on an ethical topic, causing widespread riots. Sounds...familiar, come to think of it. But hey, they have cool robotic arms. Augmentations! Oh yeah! Why don't we have those yet? Someone needs to make a real life Sarif industries, for real. Wait, why am I wasting time making these when I could be making robot arms? I'm out of here!
Stardew Valley: Relaxation Defined House Hexagon 2021-01-08 | The world is terrible at the moment. War is inevitable. We are in the end times. Insert other dramatic statement here. I can sense that a lot of you have minds that are slowly being demented. Stop, stop I say! It's time to rejoice in bliss, the bliss of....a 2D farming simulator! This is Stardew Valley! An indie game created by ConcernedApe, designed to soothe thee in your times of need, such as now. Look, I know it looks simple, but give it a chance, seriously. It just might surprise you.
A Brief History of Snow In Video Games (Yes, really) House Hexagon 2020-12-25 | Merry Christmas peasants! Today, as my Christmas special and gift to you all, I present you with perhaps the most nerdy spectacle ever created by a human being: a brief history on snow in video games. While virtual snow may not seem like the most interesting of topics, especially during the festive season, I think you may just be surprised at what I've found. We shall go through 8 games from 4 decades and look at how video game graphics have developed over time, as well as some of the clever techniques developers used back in the day. Oh yes- and no borders on the productions anymore. I just stopped liking them.
