October 20th, 2021Continuing October's celebration of the dark and spooky, and the current Loot Gaming crate, this week's Educrated quiz is dedicated to horror gaming trivia.

There's just something about that 40's radio sound that tugs on...

Here's my secret to tricking your friends...

July 10th, 2020Namco's Dig Dug was a surprise addition when it tunneled its way into American arcades back in 1982. Gameplay consisted of you controlling Dig Dug as he cleared each garden filled with Pookas and Fygars. You do this by blowing them up with your air pump weapon or by dropping rocks on them. Levels are cleared by killing all of your...

August 5th, 2019I, by no means, am an expert in The Sims. With that said, Island Living is the latest expansion for The Sims 4 and the idea of a gorgeous island getaway was definitely what I needed. What I found is that being a mermaid isn't as freeing as I thought.
Thankfully, my sister Samantha is this incredible expert in all things Sims and not...
