Unforgettable: An Operatic Interlude in Final Fantasy VI

I recently dove into Final Fantasy VI for the first time ever and can’t say I’m not feeling a little teary-eyed as its finish line closes in. I simply don’t want it to end. (And yet, of course I do, because Kefka has to be stopped!) Before FFVI, I don’t know what I’d have picked…

Star Citizen Breaks Yearly Crowdfunding Record Somehow

You know, as much as I’d like to just hate on something that I personally consider a scam, I’d rather just say that I really hope that everyone invested in the project is happy with what they’re getting out of it. Really, I do. There was a time when it looked like Star Citizen was…

The GabeCube is is Real!

This isn’t exactly news anymore, but I wanted to talk about Valve’s surprise announcement last week. I mean it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise since Valve already has the Steam Deck and its VR device, and it already tried the Steam Machine thing once before. Yet, this time it feels different. This time Valve…

Cozy Grove is Like Animal Crossing with a Plot

Cozy Grove is, to put it simply, kind of like Animal Crossing, but with a greater emphasis on story.  You play as a Spirit Scout and must help out the ghostly bears that inhabit the island by completing various fetch quests for them.  Along the way, you’ll feed your sentient campfire Flamey with logs to…

We Need Real Gaming Spaces to Come Back

Something that sometimes comes up in the discussion surrounding game prices is how preferable things are now compared to the age of arcades. Certainly, you’re probably getting more hours of entertainment per dollar than you would have playing quarter-guzzling arcade machines, and games have advanced massively since those days by just about every metric.
