16.5.2025
This week was an odd one. We shook our heads at Bungie doing an absurdly obvious plagiarism with Marathon and were provided no assurances the Switch 2 will stay at its launch price (it could go higher), all while Sony also called to say “hey, the PS5 might have a price hike.” We’re also dealing...
Every Argument For Why We Shouldn't Be Able To Skip Boss Fights, Addressed
16.5.2025
Last week I wrote about how South of Midnight has added a way for players to skip its boss fights, and yet the very fabric of reality hasn’t crumbled apart around us. As with every other time I, and many others, have covered this topic, the reaction has been extraordinary hostility, pure hatred...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Has The Juice
23.4.2025
I’ve put about 15 hours into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and my conclusion so far is that developer Sandfall Interactive might be cooking. The French RPG is clearly inspired by the Japanese greats like Final Fantasy and Persona, but its Paper Mario-style timing elements and wealth of original...

A Minecraft Movie Has Some Fantastic Things To Say About Toxic Masculinity
7.4.2025
A Minecraft Movie is fine. It’s not a surprise subversive treat like The Lego Movie, nor an unwatchable dirge, but much like 2023's The Super Mario Bros.

Something isn’t right about David Fincher, and we love him for it.
