First off, let me apologize for the lack of reviews of late. I’ve unfortunately been crushed by the responsibilities of life and haven’t had much time to play games lately, much less beat or review them. Of course, that all changed earlier this month when I took a hacksaw to my schedule and carved out time for Destiny’s second expansion, House of Wolves. Back when I used to write about Final Fantasy XI, apart from missions, expansions were some of my favorite topics to cover. They introduce…

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

Have I mentioned that I have actually been enjoying Assassin's Creed: Unity? While I skipped (but am curious about) ACIV, all ACIII did for me was leave a bad taste in my mouth - I didn't enjoy it very much. It did have a tall order, following one of my favorite games of that generation (ACII). However,…

Fortune has smiled on me and I've been presented with an opportunity to travel to the USA in a few weeks! My stay will be of only a week but I'm looking forward to returning to a city I haven't been to in over a decade. It is also a wonderful opportunity to buy a few things that due to taxes or other reasons are just too difficult or expensive to get here - with a limited budget, of course.

It all started with the idea of upgrading my video card. There is only one place in the city that deals …

Hello, friends. Sorry I have been unexpectedly absent minded lately but May has been a surprising month in the not-so-good way. Not terrible, but still. Wife got surgery this past weekend - she's ok! - so I missed Music Friday again. I am a terrible blogger. The good thing is I took my Vita with me to the hospital so I got a lot of time to catch up with Dragon's Crown, which I just completed this weekend. Or I thought I had, at least - and that's wonderful.
DC is a wonderful game by Vanill…

Hello, friends! First of all, I offer my apologies for the lack of a Music Friday this past week! A lot of things happened in real life and I wasn't very focused on the gaming/fun stuff. I haven't even logged much in XIV, missing some T13 farming with both Syv and Arma. What I did get some time into was a game I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I am: Assassin's Creed Unity.

First things first: after a hefty patch, the game hasn't presented any invisible men, skinless faces or other funn…

Final Fantasy XIV got a new small patch with a few small changes here and there. Of course people are gonna complain and rant in social networks and places like Reddit. Well, I guess I can do a little rant on my own, right? Let's see what this small patch brings, shall we?

Primal Ponies now have special music for each one

Each pony, when ridden, now plays music corresponding to the Primal that dropped him/her. For example: if you have Shiva's pony it'll now play Oblivion when you mount your f…

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

Blaster Master. That blasted (teehee!) NES game on which I spent many game sessions, trying to figure out its maps, its enemies and its horrors. Well, "horrors" may be a bit too extreme, but that game was a fantastic piece of software that was hard as hell.

In this game you piloted this really cool veh…

Welcome to the digital future!

It may be an exaggeration and blowing one game's situation out of proportion, to be honest. Nevertheless, what is happening with P.T. is truly something that can make one think about the hidden face of a digital-only future, even if it is possibly far-fetched.

For those out of the loop, P.T. is an interactive teaser released for Playstation 4 some time ago, for a game that wasn't mentioned, done by the unknown 7780s studio. Here's the reveal trailer:

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

Back in 2001, the very first PS2 game I tried was The Bouncer. I rented it since it was a Square Enix game not really knowing what it was. Also the game looked amazing for its time (PS2 was a new thing then) and I wanted to see what the new black box could do.

I was surprised that the game was as short…

There's this nagging concern in the back of my head regarding Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion, Heavensward (HW), and how it handles the locking of content and how it affects new players or those behind the curve.

You see, to access the new zones (Ishgard and the land beyond) as well as the new jobs (Dark Knight, Machinist and Astrologian) you have to purchase HW. That's expected and pretty normal for MMO expansions. However, to actually enter this zones (and thus reach the new jobs as wel…

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

I have said before that Final Fantasy IX is not my favorite FF. I'm not saying it's bad - just that if I put all of them in front of me in a table like a set of cards, and you asked me to pick my favorites, I wouldn't rush to pick IX - I would probably stop a while debating internally on whether I shoul…

Yesterday on Twitter my friend @weiward asked if a certain Instagram picture was accurate for me. It was.

Being a kid/teenager and playing video games in the 80s/90s had this wonderful power to make even the most understanding of parents simply not being able to grasp just what it was you were doing, and having this parental instinct to remind you how you were, to make it short, "doing it wrong".

A funny thing about that image is that not only did my parents tend to call any videogame system …

Here we go. Strap in, because Limit Break Radio is finally talking all things lore and story in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. All spoilers are fair game. If you don’t want to be spoiled on any part of the FFXIV story, wait to listen to this episode! To help with this monumental task the crew has enlisted the help of Eorzean YouTube guru Ethys Asher. Ethys makes some of the most fascinating and well presented videos about Final Fantasy XIV that we’ve ever found. If this episode doesn’t con…

Hello! Let’s all tread together the treacherous path of the final day of the work week joined by some great music!

Did you guys watch the new Star Wars Episode VII teaser? Oh, boy, that was exci... what? Let me fanboy a bit!

Just kidding! This Friday I picked the flagship track from Valiant Hearts: The Great War. It's an Ubisoft title that plays sort of like an old school point and click game, and tells the story of a group of people that see their lives changed and linked by the events of …

Welp. That’s it folks. A Realm Reborn has come to a dramatic end. We’re all giving it some time to let the full gravity set in. Oh, you don’t know what happens yet? OK, fine, we get it. We will remain spoiler free for just 1 more week and then the spoiler embargo lifts and we have a big spoilery story discussion! In the meantime, for today’s show we’re going to go over all of the information dropped in Live Producer Letter XX. We also give final reminders for listeners to submit entries for th…
