Before my full review, I wanted to talk about Tales of Xillia. Unlike my reviews, First Impressions videos are unscripted and tend to be more rough around the edges by comparison, but are meant to give a taste of how I feel about a game as oppose to my more refined detailed reviews. Also, since it’s a first impressions, my opinion may change in the final review, this is simply how I feel so far.

Gexup – Gexup is leaving soon…

Everybody is wondering where’s the next episode of Gaming in the 90’s – 1995? Sorry to say it, guys but throughout this summer it was hell for me. I mean everything kept coming up and just thinking about this video project got me worn out like a lot of weight on my back. I’m going through some serious trouble in my personal life and I have to indefinitely have to return to my cartooning school. By indefinitely, I mean I have to put all of my ounce of effort into the new school year because I really want to be that comic book artist who wants to work in DC Comics and Vertigo comics and make a living out of it. So what does this mean for gexup? Well, I really hate to say this but I think the time has come…



That’s right, I’m giving up on reviewing and being gexup… I know, everything we built from my first review on Gex: Enter the Gecko, to Naughty Dog vs. Insomniac Games, to Video Game Genres, to the incomplete Gaming in the 90’s it’s really time for me to let this go… I can really understand why some of my other favorite guys on the internet like AVGN and Nostalgia Critic are tired out of doing the same thing in their videos and Gooch and the Dooshebag had to get back to their lives away from the internet. When I first started doing all of these video projects I was on the roll making 1 video per week and after the Earthquakes in Japan in 2011 I had to evacuate to America, then returned only worn out to only make 1 video a month. Now since I moved to America to learn this cartooning study it became 1 video every 3 months… now it’s it’s time to move on with with my life. I do love video games, but I just don’t want to talk about the same thing again and again. I have various reasons why I’m leaving the gexup video making…

  • Just when I was half way done with the audio for Gaming in the 90’s – 1995, the whole file corrupted… what a way to waste my summer break -__-.
  • None of my video editors work anymore (they’re asking me for a purchased upgrade) and I’m not going to pay over $100 to actually get one that I’m not going to be using as much.


  • We all had a hard time getting my brother his own Japanese citizenship so he can live here after my folks retire from the military.
  • I’m facing serious health problems.


  • Working on my international driver’s license that’s taking me over 3 months to get
  • I’m in desperate struggle to get better in drawing
  • The American economy is so bad that jobs are very hard to find (especially in DC, Marvel, Vertigo, Dark Horse, and the rest)
  • I’m engaged… I’m going to marry my childhood sweetheart once I graduate from this school
That’s right, so with a lot of life changing experience that’s happening right now in my life, so why should I just throw it all away to our members on itstailtime.net that doesn’t comment or respond to any of our work as much any more? I really don’t want to be mean to anyone, but we have 186 members in this forum site and I’m disappointed at the fact that there’s a huge lack of communication that really disappointed me. I don’t care if it’s because I’m not on YouTube or strict rules on our forum site, but if there’s nothing that’s welcoming here then why should I risk my own health in making any more videos? 
Sorry if I offend any of you guys, but that’s how I felt since I came back to Japan getting ready to start up Gaming in the 90’s only to have from little to no reaction. I’m not mad, just disappointed.
So what does this mean? Is this it? Well, I’m only going to do one last episode of Boochow and I really want to talk about Gaming in 1998 and FINALLY a countdown of my Top 12 favorite games of all time…
I started this podcast when I started reviewing and I’m going to end it all here from where I first started with the podcast. This is the one episode that I want you to all listen because it basically wraps everything that I had in store for this moment. I am expecting disappointments, upsets, and begs for me not to leave from some, but it’s time to think about what I should be doing and it’s time to go soon…
