Journal Updated 58: Cyberpunk 2077
2025/06/15
Welcome one and all! We're here with a later than usual episode because this game is too fucking big. We both spent upward of 70 hours on the damn thing. Is it worth it? Honestly, I don't know. The highs are damn high! I'm really glad I basically didn't have any noteworthy bugs or issues in this playthrough. That would have been too much I think. In any case, we had a good time on this episode, even though we had to stop recording twice because of technical difficulties. We simply locked in and handled it because we're real professional chooms.
Journal Updated 57: Lovely Lady RPG
2025/05/01
Welcome back! This month on Journal we decided to play a smaller game than usual in part to allow us more time to play a bigger game next month. With that decision came Lovely Lady RPG! We had a really good discussion about the game's virtues and pitfalls, even though (as you might expect) we got pretty different levels of enjoyment out of it.

Welcome back, Journal enthusiasts! We're back at it once again with a new RPG from Obsidian.

We had a lot to say about this game, and more to mull over in our heads. Also we talk about Pokemon too much.

Something for everyone!
Journal Updated 53: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The subject at hand is, of course, the hit Bethesda open world RPG Oblivion! You know it, you love it, you've laughed at NPCs being silly in it. Well I finally played it! Will it hold up to its ancestors? Will it compare to its legacy? Who can say! (I can).
