I’ve been involved in the game industry in one way or another for a long time. I got my start as a modder; I did level design, texture design, music as well as some coding, even flirting briefly with a small gaming studio startup. I also wrote in the gaming industry for a bit before ...

I’m about 12 hours into Dying Light 2 so I, as an indie publisher of game industry coverage, can put together a review. I’ve sacrificed most of my weekend absorbing as much as I can of the game; I need to get the review out within a week and a half, ideally. Of course, the ...

I’ve been a gamer for a long time, and have played a number of MMOs in my day. My claim to fame in gaming was Asheron’s Call: This was the direct competitor to Everquest, when MMOs first started to become “mainstream” (before WoW). I enjoyed AC immensely. I spent a lot of time in that ...

As a neurodivergent person, I have a number of unique ways of thinking and processing information. I also, occasionally, suffer from depression. Gaming provides a great respite for me (along with writing code, photography, and a whole bunch of other things). Sometimes, however, I need something a little different.. Something with a delivery that has ...

The Terminator event has been live for a few days now, and I thought I’d share my impressions on it now that I’ve had some time this weekend to actually play it. I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers, for those of you who haven’t given it a shot yet. For those of you who ...

**UPDATE: More ranging testing has been done with attachments, including a bug with the bipod; watch the video here, or keep reading and watch it in the page** As I wait anxiously for Ghost Recon Breakpoint to become available (Tuesday for me thanks to my rare choice to pre-order, although I’ll be waiting until I ...

Modern games from major publishers have been lacking recently. Few choose to take risks on crafting new IP, leaving us with iterations on common formulas to an extreme. Even Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, a game I’m very much looking forward to, is just the love child of Ghost Recon Wildlands and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. When Control ...

I’ve been playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s beta, and I’ve gotta say, the gear system isn’t nearly as controversial as people seem to make it out to be. There have been numerous complaints regarding Breakpoint’s gear system. People are even going as far as saying it’s just another The Division loot shooter. Is there any truth ...

Apologies for the lack of new posts; I’m starting a new job in about a week, and have been working on getting my home office set up. Let’s talk about gender in video games. I’m exceedingly excited about Cyberpunk 2077. I’m a big fan of the cyberpunk genre and style; Blade Runner is one of ...

When I picked up Ghost Recon: Wildlands, I didn’t expect it to become a mainstay game for me. Very few of them do; Skyrim (plus Oblivion and Morrowind), Fallout 4 (and 3/New Vegas before that), AC: Odyssey, and Asheron’s Call. That’s about it, honestly. Games that capture my interest get an extra level of dedication. ...
