2.2.2021
As a kid, I used to rush home from school so I could catch the latest episode of the Disney cartoon DuckTales.

2.2.2021
If Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is indeed based on historical events like its intro screen says, it is based very loosely. Yet for all its simplification and misrepresentation of the Viking invasions of Britain, there’s one thing the game depicts really well: the idea that England’s history is one...

So, I May Have Made A Mistake In Mass Effect 2
1.2.2021
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I did everything right in Mass Effect 2. I slapped armor plating on the Normandy and equipped it with a shield. I gave it a big fucking cannon. I even tackled (most of) the game’s loyalty missions. I was ready for the final battle, and went through the Omega-4...
