For this week’s Listmas list, our topic is all about transportation, which, I will admit with my choices, I have widely interpreted to mean anything from things you actually ride/drive to things that help quicken your…

Welcome once again to everyone’s favorite time of year…Listmas!

Listmas 2019: Top 5 Favorite Idle Animations
As you no doubt know (but I need an intro), idle animations have always served as fun little Easter eggs in select games.

Why Mass Effect?
This month, or more specifically, yesterday (November 20th), marks the twelfth anniversary of the release of Mass Effect in the United States. By no small coincidence, and despite The Outer Worlds sitting patiently in my PS4, I am currently knee-deep in yet another playthrough of the trilogy on my trusty if weezy Xbox 360. (Mass…
Top 5 Best Floors in Luigi’s Mansion 3
As I played through Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the very first time, one of my favorite parts of the game was the sheer anticipation of discovering the theme for each new floor. The Last Resort is no ordinary hotel (haunted or otherwise), as its many floors contain some pretty cool surprises. Being one of the…
