Hey guys.  Welcome back!  Sorry for the few weeks without any Ramblings.  You’d think I’d have a lot to talk about with the amount of games coming out.  Well, I’ve only had the chance to play two so far.  One of which is World of Final Fantasy, and I want to beat that before I give a full review.  The other is Dishonored 2, and that kind of fizzled out before it got started, at least for me.  So I’ll be giving brief thoughts of those, but I’ll be starting with a little Crunchyroll update.  Let’s-a Go!

Hey everyone!  Welcome back!  This week on Ramblings, I’m going to be doing something a bit different.  I’m going to be writing something a bit shorter than usual, but it’s going to be on a canceled video game.  A game that never was called WCW Nitro Live.  I’m going to be breaking a couple of my own rules here by using images with watermarks, as well as linking to another site’s article.  This is because, as far as I know, the article is the only preview ever written for WCW Nitro Live.  Let’s get to it.

Hey guys, welcome back!  This week on Ramblings, I’m taking a look at three entries in the Arcade Archives series on the PlayStation 4.  What is Arcade Archives?  Well, a company called Hamster has been taking old arcade games from various companies and porting them to the PS4.  Or, at the very least, emulating them with a custom emulator (likely a modified MAME).  I covered an older Arcade Archives game a while back (Super Dodge Ball), and it was pretty good.  This time around I have Contra, Double Dragon, and Double Dragon II: The Revenge for you guys.  Many of you have no doubt played the NES versions of these games, but I’m here to cover the arcade versions.  So let’s get on with it.
