Day 1: Anybody home? (Image credit: Wild Forest Studio) I arrive at my grandpa’s overgrown old cottage alone. Where’s he run off to? Apparently I don’t know. There’s only enough time on day one to read several tutorial popups telling me what to do next (oh dear, that ta-dah noise is going to get on…
Summer Eternal is an RPG studio co-founded by ex-ZA/UM designers Argo Tuulik and Dora Klindžić, as well as developer/organizer Aleksandar Gavrilović (quoted above). Given the former two developers’ experience working on a canceled Disco Elysium expansion, it makes sense they’d want to try something radically different for their new studio’s financing and governance. Worker-owned cooperatives…
Spotted in Tokyo: It appears that brothers Mario Mario and Luigi Mario are getting lit at this barbershop I passed in Harajuku. Really puts the Super Mario Bros. Super Show’s “hooked on the brothers” in a different light. Do you think anyone from Nintendo’s ever stopped by Mr. Brothers for a haircut? (Image credit: Wes…
Warzone is trying something new In Warzone, a “cosmetic toggle” that will disable legacy character skins at a client level With this toggle, players will instead see operators from Modern Warfare 4, making the game stylistically cohesive This toggle only exists within Warzone, as Modern Warfare 4 itself won’t carry forward any cosmetics from past…

We’ve bought horse armor, stolen an Elder Scroll, and even once pickpocked a note from the butt of a fully-dressed assassin without him noticing. In other words, we’ve done it all,…
It wasn’t a long wait for some of my favorite Valheim mods to start working again after the 1.0 launch, and just as I expected, there were plenty of new fan-made features to tinker with. I’m still digging through the sea of new creations, but here’s a list of some of the best Valheim mods…
(Image credit: Nightdive) Nightdive’s Thief remaster is looking like the exact sort of well-judged but deceptively transformative treatment the classic deserves. It is one of my most anticipated games. But I’m already looking ahead. We know Thief Remastered is coming with a Nightdive-developed expansion campaign, The Tarnished Mirror. When the studio inevitably takes on Thief…
My first MMO character was… Zarwulf, Orc Hunter Born: 2004 Game: World of Warcraft Zarwulf was not my first MMO character, but I’m far too addled to remember anything about playing Ultima Online in 1998, or pretty much anything about my childhood. I do remember a wee bit about what I was doing at university,…
I decided to finally take fate into my own hands. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time, and it is the only one I have spent a significant amount of time playing on the Sony PlayStation 4. I resent that. I hate that horrible little box under my TV with a passion….
