There are good rom-coms, bad rom-coms, and so-bad-they’re-good rom-coms. And then there’s Failure To Launch, a 2006 Matthew McConaughey/Sarah Jessica Parker vehicle so inexplicably bizarre it almost feels like a meta parody of every terrible romantic comedy trope. With a slight shift in tone...

Bravely Default II’s Beastmaster Job Is Basically Pokémon
8.3.2021
Creating your party in Bravely Default II is less about the characters you use than it is the jobs with which you equip them.

7.3.2021
When I think of Assassin’s Creed games, I often remember big cities, cool assassinations, climbing tall towers, and maybe some sea shanties.
