April 1st, 2020Every year April Fools walks a fine line between a fun day for goofs and a malicious day for hurtful lies. Some of the so-called "PRANKS" that I'm going to bring up today are truly cruel, mostly because I want them to be real.
Zelda Art Swap
Let me give this some backstory. The Wind Waker is one of the most controversial Zelda...
July 26th, 2019When it comes to the lifetime of a World of Warcraft expansion, the things I look forward to most are new patches that include raid content. Why? Because raiding is easily the most enjoyable, and most challenging, thing that an MMO like WoW has to offer.

February 26th, 2019You have to hand it to Overwatch, they really do make releasing new heroes exciting!
The lore and backstory that they introduce with every new character is always so deep and so much fun to enjoy - and it makes me REALLY wish they could make some kind of story mode because hot damn some of these reveal videos have more fleshed out...
February 15th, 2019A lot of problems people get into when they finish a game is the "Okay, now what?" replay-ability question. While games nowadays tend to have New Game + and difficulty modes to keep you going, Diablo III did something different. Heard of Season play? Let's get into it.
Now, this is essentially for folks who have played Blizzard's Diablo...

January 26th, 2018The Overwatch League is in full swing, and so far it has been pretty dang fun to watch.
