Awaiting a New Generation of MMOs
I’m not sure if it’s just because I’ve once again become more plugged into things now that I’m working for Massively OP or if things are genuinely turning around, but for the first time in quite a...

Star Wars Reviews: Rise of Skywalker and Solo
A few weeks ago, I rewatched The Last Jedi, and I was impressed by how much I enjoyed it. I realized that all of my problems with it are actually problems with The Force Awakens. If you pretend TLJ...
View ArticleSong of the Month: Amy Shark, I Said Hi
The latest new artist to catch my interest is Australia’s Amy Shark. She reminds me a little bit of Canada’s own Tegan and Sara, but a little folkier and yet also a bit edgier, if that makes sense. My...

View ArticleSong of the Month: Grimes, You’ll Miss Me When I’m Not Around
I’ve been very busy lately, so it took me longer than I would have liked to check out Grimes’ new album, Miss Anthropocene. Grimes’ music is hit and miss for me, but whatever else she might be, she’s...
