Gundam Battle Operation 2 Is Live! This Week: The Basics

Sorry to have missed... well, a lot of everything on this blog. But in case you don't follow me elsewhere, I have some great news: Gundam Battle Operation 2 is out, and it's pretty good as gacha-based free-to-play games go!

It's been a couple months since the game launched, and over on YouTube I've been posting a lot of gameplay videos and I've been getting a lot of questions about the game. Which I'm hoping I can answer now in one handy place: The Gundam Battle Operation 2 BASICS series! Every day between now and Thursday, 9/27/18, I'll try to explain and translate (loosely, as always) most of the major aspects of the game menus and gameplay. Check it out!

The Joke Is That I Remembered To Update

This is not an April Fool's joke! (And remember: anyone who makes an April Fool's joke after declaring "this is not an April Fool's joke" loses all their points. Except for the ones you might wish to drive into them, because April Fool's jokes tend to be annoying after a while.)

Review A Bad Game Day! Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Hot Scramble

Review A Bad Game Day is the gaming day created by my old friend Eric "Nintendo Legend" Bailey to spotlight reviews of really awful games. This one... it's not awful, but it's a product of its time. It's repetitive and not really possessed of the depth we'd come to associate with Famicom/NES games. But it's not as immediately unfair as Transformers: Mystery of Convoy or a poorly implemented good-ish idea like Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. It's just... mediocre and doesn't make great use of the Zeta Gundam license.
