November 8th, 2018 Loot Gaming is dishing up some of the coolest (and sharpest) weapons in video games this month, with November's BLADE theme, including an awesome item from The Elder Scrolls. Now, there are of course way too many weapons to try and put on a list here, but I figured if I narrowed it down to blades, aka swords, daggers, etc, from TES, I...

October 29th, 2018 Video games are no stranger to the Halloween season – whether it's actual horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hills, or Outlast, or any of a variety of games that happen to have some really cool, and often spooky, in-game Halloween events. This year, of course, is no different, as dozens of games across all platforms and genres...

October 26th, 2018 Red Dead Redemption 2 is here, and if you needed any extra motivation to play the game... Well, I honestly don't know what more I can tell you other than it's got an epic 60+ hour storyline, features an incredible cast of characters, an absolutely breathtaking open world to explore, and so, so, SO much more... I was going to write more,...

October 25th, 2018 I admit it, I am a sucker for a good (or even a bad!) fighting movie or television show – I love movies like Warrior and Ip Man, and I grew up loving TV shows with martial arts like Power Rangers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But I'm not sure I can think of a TV show or movie that has ever gotten me more hyped than Dragon...

October 12th, 2018 The spoopiest time of the year is here, and with it comes some of my favorite go-to movies for the month of October.  One of my favorite horror-esque movies is the 1984 classic Gremlins - which just so happens to be featured in this month's CURSED Loot Crate! I have a little one, coming up on a year and a half, and I was just talking...

August 30th, 2018 When you think of the most iconic first person shooters ever made, there aren't many that come to mind more often than ID Software's 1993 classic, DOOM.  Since the game's initial release, the DOOM legacy has included several other video games (sequels, remakes and "clones"), comic books, novels, and a 2005 live-action film. Along...

August 23rd, 2018 When you think of some of the most popular and successful superhero franchises, there is typically a handful that come to mind – and these days it feels like so many of our favorite superheroes are getting screen time in new and exciting ways.  But the heroic experience I'm the most excited about hits shelves on September 7th with the...

August 23rd, 2018 I played Dungeons & Dragons for the first time when I was 10 years old, and I was immediately hooked.  Up to that point, I had played several different adventure and/or role-playing video games, but there was truly something magical about the real-deal tabletop RPG experience that the digital stuff just couldn't stand up to. As I...

August 21st, 2018 I am an unabashed fanboy for anything that From Software, the developers behind the Dark Souls series, makes.  They could literally make a Clifford's Big Red Birthday Party video game, and I would more than likely pre-order the special edition that comes with the exclusive Dark Souls Clifford Collectible Figure. All kidding aside, I...

August 16th, 2018 Real talk:  If we rewind back two weeks, I would have no idea how much I'd love Dead Cells.  In fact, I wouldn't even fully know what the game was two weeks ago - fortunately for me, I discovered it here at work and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

August 7th, 2018 With the launch of Battle for Azeroth less than a week away, it's no surprise that the hype train is moving full-steam ahead for WoW fans around the world - myself included.  This time around, though, there's been so much drama and controversy around the story leading into World of Warcraft's 7th expansion - more specifically,...

July 31st, 2018 I can fully admit that I have a problem... That's the first step, admitting it, right?  And here's my problem:  I get hyped so hard for video games with killer cinematic videos, especially ones that connect to my nostalgia-factor as expertly as Blizzard seems to do with pretty much every cinematic they do for pretty much every game...
