February 10th, 2021Gamers, rejoice! This Valentine's Day does NOT need to be boring, lonely, dumb, or sad. Instead of calling your ex or wallowing in self-pity, I suggest you pick up the controller (or keyboard + mouse?) and play one of the best video game genres to ever exist.... THE DATING SIM!
I've compiled 5 exceptional Dating Sims (with some free...

It's here!!! My November Loot Gaming crate showed up at my doorstep a few weeks ago, but I decided to wait to unbox it so I don't ruin the fun for anyone who hasn't opened theirs yet. The theme for this crate was "BEAST" and it included collectibles from Doom, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls....
December 9th, 2020CLICK HERE FOR FALLOUT CRATE
I think we can all agree that Fallout has some really stylish music choices. The first time I played Fallout 3 and heard "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" by The Ink Spots in the opening sequence, I'm not gonna lie... I shed a few tears. There's just something about that 40's radio sound that tugs on...

September 2nd, 2020I'll be honest with you - I'm a shy, introverted little nerd without many friends. And the ones I do have, I never see. Most of the time, I like it this way, but once a year or so, the need for a warm embrace outweighs my deep-seated fear of rejection. This is where board games come in.
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...
July 8th, 2020Skyrim, and The Elder Scrolls series in general, is famous for the depth of its lore. There are over 800 readable pieces of literature in Skyrim. Lucky for you, I sorted through them to find some of the most disturbing stories. Now, let's dive into the dark heart of Skyrim.
The Story of the Night Mother and the Listener
You've...
April 22nd, 2020Hey, you. You're finally awake. You think you know Skyrim quotes? Good luck getting all these right. Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines help you.

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...
August 1st, 2019Look, I'm on a bit of a boss fight kick these days, okay? Boss battles tend to be one of the most memorable aspects of video games, and often times it's rock-solid boss fights that turn good games into great games.
I've discussed games in the past (even as recently as last week with my World of Warcraft boss piece) that are known for...
July 31st, 2019Sega's Yakuza series has hit a beautiful cult-status here in the States and that was proven by its spin-off getting some fast praise upon its release. Judgment, called Judge Eyes overseas, takes the streets you've come to know and love and ages it up into a modern day thriller that Jessica Fletcher would die for.
As someone who came...
July 30th, 2019Sometimes we play video games so much in our comfortable headsets that we forget better sound quality is being developed for our games almost non-stop. Turtle Beach and LucidSound have two headsets that are both mid-range in price and a bit more heavy duty to suit those. I tested them for you, so let's look!
Before we get started, keep...

July 10th, 2019There are vacations where, if you can just get the free time, they'd be perfect for us! Seeing as how we don't always have the luxury of a getaway, what about a video game staycation? I found a few low-key video games to get you that rest & relaxation!
Now, I've included a couple of games in here that may not be your flavor but may...
