Assassin's Creed Odyssey Is a Weird and Inconsistent Game and I Kind of Love It
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a tough game to quantify. On one hand it’s a stupidly huge, idiotically beautiful open world game that is a blast to explore. On the other hand, it has the same Ubisoft checklist-style game design ingrained into that world. And on my protruding Kuato-like growth’s hands it is one of the…

Warped Pipes: The Story So Far
In the next Warped Pipes article, we will see everything change in Super Mario Bros.

I’ve been training the last week, and will do so up until the event on Nov 30-Dec 1. If you’ve ever wanted to compete, here’s every strategy I’ve…
Understanding the scope of game development
I guess it’s true what they say: you really can’t properly understand something until you try it for yourself. And having actually gotten started with learning game development, I can now safely say that I really didn’t understand just how massive it is.
Yes, I Do Think Netflix Is Trying To Kill Its Marvel Shows
Ever since the back-to-back cancellations of Iron Fist and Luke Cage, fans have been wondering about the state of the Marvel-Netflix series. Is this the beginning of the end? Is this once-promising universe about street level superheroes in New York on its way out? Is Netflix planning to cancel Daredevil, Jessica Jones…
Some Thoughts On Dark Souls Remastered (Switch)
Last night I decided to purchase a digital copy of Dark Souls Remastered on an impulse. I already regret it.

There are a few anime I’ve watched that left me at such a loss for words that I decided that I would never write about them out of respect for the impact they had on me. It was almost like there was an innate thought that no matter how much I wrote, it wouldn’t do justice to the aforementioned impact. The big three…
