It’s me, the player who starts Skyrim over and over with different mod loadouts and yet, nine times out of 10, ends up crouching with a bow shooting draugr in slow motion. Every now and then I push myself into another playstyle—like two-handed melee barbarian or summon-focused wizard—but drift back to my old favorite. I…
Brothers in Arms is a mod for The Witcher 3 that combines bug fixes with restoration of cut content. It’s a frequently updated mod—last time we checked it restored a bunch of dialogue, including a Yennefer romance scene—but the most recent update is particularly substantial. The lengthy list of additions in version 3.1.0 includes the…
You’ve just completed one of Unity’s black box assassination missions, an infiltration with multiple diversions and entrances to find and exploit. The next mission has you meet up with Elise, your templar girlfriend, on the streets of revolutionary Paris. She’s being pursued by a mob of templar thugs—her faction aren’t fans of her or you…
If you were a child at one point, you may remember Thomas the Tank Engine. What started as a series of extremely British children’s books has turned into a venerable, extremely British fixture of pop culture thanks to the beloved TV show—and now, Thomas and co. are getting their very own train sim game from…
Videogame adaptations to film and television are the new hotness—haven’t you heard? Markiplier’s Iron Lung flick just took the box office by storm, Yoshi’s laying eggs on the silver screen, and the best choice-driven fantasy RPG ever made is getting an HBO show that’ll do all the choosing for you. If you’re a videogame enjoyer…

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. It’s…
Mario is a PC gaming icon, and yes, that stands for “personal computer” and not “plumber chic.” His best 3D platformer got a PC port back in 2020 thanks to a growing Nintendo 64 recompilation effort, and even if you don’t count that, his dogshittest game came to PC back in 1992. But I’m not…
I’m genuinely surprised that there haven’t been more geese-themed games since Untitled Goose Game, or at least more games about dickhead animals violating social norms. House House’s avian bullying simulator was a riotous success when it released in 2020, the kind of phenomenon that normally spawns a legion of imitators. Yet with the possible exception…
The worst part about getting matched up against a cheater in any game is knowing there’s not much you can do. You can send in a report, you can wait for some automatic trigger to ban them, you can curse the gods in a faith tradition of your choice, but no one with any authority…
