This is a damn fine list! 2013 has been a great year all around, and I love that the awesome Nintendo titles of this year are getting some love! You can't get more disparate gaming experiences in terms of tone than The Last of Us and A Link Between Worlds, but they both sure as hell deserve their spots on this list.
You got it!
Got some cool stuff coming bud :) Glad you enjoy The Forge!
Damn Aaron that sounds beastly! If you do pickup Skyrim, let me know which mods you are enjoying and I'd be glad to feature them - and Brutal Doom it up, brother!
Congrats on the new rig!
lol Thanks Aaron! I've heard so much about Earthbound that I'm really trying my best to go in fresh with no expectations, although that can be really tough to do!
Congrats on the new PC my man! What did you go with? And I'm going to go back now that I have some time and catch up on your retro reviews!
Thank you Travis! I've heard Don't Starve is really awesome, what do you think so far?
Glad you're looking forward to the next edition of The Forge - there's a couple different mod themes that I'm kicking around for this installment. In any case, it should be interesting 
Thanks man! As do I - it's rare to see an IP translate so well across mediums, but I love the comics, TV show, and TellTale's fantastic, episodic title.
I'll be sure to let you know what I think of Earthbound!
Thank you! And you also win the title of the first person I've heard refer to playing JRPGs as a "light gaming". Hahaha!
Interesting - as someone who's never played Earthbound, I'm really trying to wipe my mind of all the hype surrounding it and go in fresh. It's nice to hear the voices of dissent about a seemingly universally-loved title, it keeps it grounded and keeps things honest!
I've never played any of the Phoenix Wright games, perhaps I should get on that! And we need people like you discussing the games that a lot of other people graze over; a lot of those titles are a pleasant surprise to say the least.
PS. I will go read your blog
