Happy Home Paradise is any Budding Interior Decorator’s Dream

Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC

The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice.  Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here.  I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…

Expeditions and Other Excursions in Fallout 76

When I rejoined the ranks of Fallout 76 with a new year-long sub last July, I had two primary goals.

A Wild Ride: The Past Decade in Gaming

It’s kind of hard to believe that ten-plus years have already passed since we started Virtual Bastion (then “United We Game”) back in 2013. Our little space on the net isn’t quite what it was in the beginning, but I like to think that we haven’t changed all *that* much over the course of the…
