One of the best (and worst) aspects of horror is that pretty much nowhere is safe. Given the right circumstances, just about any space can be transformed from warm and comfortable to absolutely terrifying. Some places are just inherently scary though, and for me almost nothing tops abandoned places. There’s just something so wrong about…

It Seems Walmart Might Stop Selling Physical Xbox Games
Now that Best Buy has announced plans to stop carrying physical video media, it’s looking like other major retailers are seeing the move as a green light to begin phasing out physical stock as well. While not yet confirmed or acknowledged by Walmart, there’s a claim circling now that the big box giant is now…
Spooktober: No! Not the Bugs! NOT THE BUGS!
I like to think of myself as somewhat sophisticated when it comes to the kinds of horror games I like. I’ll go on and on about the likes of Signalis or Soma and how they can chill us to the bone by confronting us with the nightmarish possibilities of existence. I’ll dive into stuff like…
Redfall Gets An Update, Still Sucks. Are You Surprised?
I wrote a piece a couple weeks ago that kind of went off on how gaming media likes to blow up every little thing into something major. “People must be outraged or they’re not going to click” seems to be th logic, but then it must also be acknowledged that there is a lot of…

Happy Spooktober everyone! As Cary said earlier, our original Halloween special is back, and this time we’re going back to what it’s all about: the scares! This week we’re talking about which genre scares us the most, and for me it’s the gaming equivalent of the suspense-thriller!
You Might Wanna Change Your PSN Password Today
A ransomware group known as “Ransomed.VC Group” has made the claim that it’s managed to get into “all of Sony’s” systems. It doesn’t take much speculation to to think that this includes PSN. So yeah, maybe take a minute and change your password today. Even if it turns out to be a false claim, at…
Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets Really Heavy Sometimes
In the last couple of posts I made about Baldur’s Gate 3, I talked a lot about its characters and the amount of freedom the game allows you. I’m still greatly enjoying both and could readily talk about either again, but today I’d like to talk about something else. For all the freedom the game…
Paper Mario: TTYD is Coming To Switch!
So, this is hardly breaking news by now, but I wanted to talk about it all the same. So yeah, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is coming to Switch! At last, Switch players will have a good game in the series to enjoy (lol)!
