I was immediately smitten by the polish of the demo, zipping around...

14.2.2024
In 2011, BioWare’s Dragon Age II portrayed its four main romantic conquests as bisexual, allowing them to be pursued by either the male or female version of main character Hawke. At the time, I was a young, mostly-but-not-completely out gay high school student, and I spent hours each week on...

4.8.2023
I’m about 20 hours into Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’ve picked the most basic-ass romance for a person attracted to men: Gale.

New Dragon Age Anime Suffers From Typical Netflix Blandness

10.6.2022
