Our final confrontation awaits us. https://youtu.be/Jtn7JIpxwnA Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre Re-watching this in the editing booth, it occurs to me that this ending is abrupt. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, and they do address most of the relevant lingering plot lines. And yet, I can't help...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 1-2
It appears that the Auditore family has fallen victim to a terrible conspiracy, but fortunately we have a plan in motion to put a stop to it by presenting evidence. And once we do, we can go back to the life of a happy 15th century...
Assassin’s Creed – Part 3-4

And this time, we must also mount a rescue. https://youtu.be/99336vwq31s Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud You know this one was a real bastard because it's the only one where Altair went for the...
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Rise From the Ashes – Part 4-4
As the sole living witness to the death of Neil Marshall, we're asking a lot from Ema to testify about it. But we must, for the case of the murder of Bruce Goodman rests upon the events of that day. https://youtu.be/ypeHunTfKCY Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud That little gimmicky minigame...
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Part 6-4
We've done it. We've figured out who killed Gregory Edgeworth. Now, we just need to get over the finish line. We're so close! https://youtu.be/26pUXWHCp8g Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud When you think about it, there could be no better way to end this case than by having Von Karma be the...
Non-2023 Gaming in 2023
Even in a year packed full of incredible new games, I managed to squeeze in plenty of time to either catch up on old games or continue to play live service games that I keep up with. But those games don’t usually get mentioned in...
The Highlights and Disappointments of 2023
I must confess that although I write a piece like this every year, I find it difficult to do so now with the same enthusiasm that I normally would. That’s not to say that the games of 2023 have been bad, far from it. Looking...
Contradiction: Spot the Liar – Part 2-4
You heard it here, folks. We have a new clue, so it's time to ask every single person we've met so far about it in Contradiction: Spot the Liar! https://youtu.be/9dmflH7J8bE?si=IscGNacYWGtK76nJ Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud We're getting close.

Contradiction: Spot the Liar – Part 2-2
How strange! We seem to have picked up a DVD containing evidence of pickpocketing. Who would be so brazen as to film themselves committing crimes, and why? Perhaps it will lead to a new Contradiction. https://youtu.be/Y5urdIoc8LU?si=hBgIDFFBovZRlO4N Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud How time changes our perspectives. Hypnosis is not my thing...
Jak 3 – Part 3-5
I suppose it's time we met the other major antagonist face-to-face. Just don't expect me to be interested in him. https://youtu.be/4jaAB-uEMKk Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I can't pretend that I remotely care about Errol. He was a lame rival character in Jak 2, and despite all of his upgrades, he's...
