‘From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops’ is on Kickstarter now. A new book which looks into the history of tabletop electronic video games is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter. From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops shines a light on a very unique (and perhaps unrepeatable) period in gaming history where the leading coin-op titles of the era were ported…
The average PC gamer may not be superstitious about walking underneath ladders or being cursed by black cats, but we have plenty of questionable rituals and myths that have built up across decades of message boards and Reddit threads. Established beliefs about mouse DPI, framerates, and thermal paste are confidently passed down across the decades—even…
I didn’t think it was possible for Doom to become more accessible than it already is.

Despite being a sicko for both genres, I’d never dare put them together in a single experience—like the two friend groups you very carefully plan individual events…
Larian has some big aspirations for its next RPG, Divinity, which it hopes will surpass even the mighty Baldur’s Gate 3. It will be “even larger” than BG3, with “deeper sequences of consequence,” more interesting fail states, better character customization, and even more natural and complex NPC relationships.
