Aaron Peterson
Aaron (known in most places online as @Data_Error) has been writing video essays about video games, anime, and all manner of geeky media since 2018, joining Geek to Geek two years later. Forged in early-aughts fanfiction and play-by-post role-playing games, he continues to write regularly about everything from creature design for felow Pokémaniacs to the strucural positivity of Yuru Camp. His coffee-making routine is entirely too complicated for his own good.

[Keywords] Untitled Goose Game and Expression

Untitled Goose Game is the best role-playing game I played in 2019. Sure, it's billed as a puzzle and a stealth game. But at its core, it has the purest form of video-game sandbox that I've experienced in years.

[Keywords] Pokémon Twilight Wings and Credit

Pokémon: Twilight Wings is available to watch for free on YouTube. The very first thing to excite me about Pokémon: Twilight Wings was its staff. Studio Colorido blew me over last summer with Penguin Highway, a backyard adventure chock-full of hyper-charming and imaginative creatures. And Pokémon is nothing if not…

Quick View Release date: December 17, 2019Price: $19.99Rating: E 10+ (Everyone 10+)Platform: Microsoft Windows, Playstation 4 What's It All About? Wattam is a tricky one to nail down, toeing the line between an “action” game, a puzzler, a sandbox, and a few other things. Even official storefronts only list its…

[Keywords] Xenogears and Ambition

Xenogears was ahead of its time in a lot of ways; crucially, that its development cycle reads like that of a modern Kickstarter-funded game.

[Keywords] A Certain Scientific Railgun and Designated Protagonists

Stock characters are, generally, delightful. The exception tends to be protagonists, and for all I love anime, it suffers a lot from lead characters being the flattest members of their casts.

[Keywords] Final Fantasy and Identity

It always kind of astounds me whenever someone says that they’re a fan of the Final Fantasy series. Not because any individual entry in the series is that bad. More because the series is so wildly inconsistent.

[Keywords] Your Lie in April and Flags

The kind of people who will read a media blog are, on the whole, the kind of people who consume a lot of stories to begin with. And once you take in enough of them (probably by the time you're in middle school, really), you start to see certain patterns…

[Keywords] Digimon Adventure and Togetherness

Where monster-catching series (and their merchandise) were laser-aimed at kids, they predictably had some soft core Aesop around “teamwork” or “friendship”. But I don’t believe that a single one of them executed on it half as well as Digimon.
