Revisited: What Makes a Remaster So Enticing?

Hey all, I hope your August is off to a good start! I know mine is! By the time this goes up I’ll actually be visiting home for the first time in a few years (international is just that expensive these days, unfortunately), and so am not actually around to continue the series I kicked-off…

What’s in a Name…that You Cannot Have?

Several years ago, I posted some musings on the importance I place on naming characters. This has mostly (but not always) applied to modern-ish RPGs and MMOs that I’ve dipped into over the years; the ones where you create a character of your own design who has nothing, and then you build them into something….

What if I played through the game’s main story (and subsequent expansions) as a ghoul from the start? Though shotgunner Karla’s story ended with her turning back into a human again (because, at that point,…

HCS To Retire Halo Infinite This Year

Halo Studios has announced that Halo Infinite will be retired from the HCS esports circuit after the championship this year. It also seems that there will be no HCS in 2026 in order to make presparations for the next Halo title. This was inevitable, perhaps, but it’s still surprising to see the game being brought…

The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer

The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing!  Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…
