March 2017 has been a important month for games thus far. It’s been high-profile release after high-profile release so far, and with the next Dark Souls III dlc and final Destiny live event set to drop next week, it doesn’t look like things will be slowing down anytime soon.

[REVISITED] Immersion and the Breaking of it
We close out our month of reblogs (thanks for following along!) with this fantastic article from David of Plus10Damage, a brilliant gaming site in its own right that you should totally check out. In this article, David maps out the notion of immersion in horror games and what happens when that connection between game and…
Zelda Limericks
And now, I continue poetry on the topic of my obvious terror of “Zelda” characters with various limericks. Along with a game. Drum roll please. Let’s play…Guess the Monster! Guess which creatures my limericks are describing! And don’t look at the tags, you cheaters!
