Listening to Let’s Plays
We all have our own gaming quirks and idiosyncrasies, and I think one of mine that I’ve developed over the past few years could be filed as one: listening to rather than watching Let’s Plays. It sounds kind of odd, right? I mean, the whole purpose of a Let’s Play series is to watch someone…

Yes, I Am Already Thinking About My First Playthrough of Mass Effect Legendary Edition
As a cynical old person, it takes a lot to get me truly excited for something new in gaming these days. So, to a certain degree, I guess it might make sense that the one thing in gaming that has me excited this year is something that’s not new at all. And that would be…
Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie Animated Short
Just a few days ago, completely without warning, a 23-minute Ratchet & Clank short aired on Crave, a streaming service in Canada. Created by the same company who made the 2016 movie, Mainframe Studios, it follows Ratchet and Clank as they stop Dr. Nefarious’ newest scheme, which involves a gun called a Portalizer that can…
