A new trailer came out for Cyberpunk 2077 not too long ago, and I have to say that it’s got me feeling a little excited for the game again. The path from announcement to release has been quite a long one, so it’s been hard to stay invested in it most of the time. Anyway,…

Could TV Ads Be Coming to Console Games?

I won’t lie.  I can be a rather negative person.  Nevertheless, I have had a certain bad premonition for years about the future of gaming that might be coming true.  In a troubling turn of events, I have learned that TV ads could possibly begin showing up in our console video games!  Yes, including those…

Paper Mario: The Origami King – So Far, So…So.

The newest Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Origami King, is finally here, and this time I decided to jump-in right away.
