Review: Oxenfree
Some months back, I watched a friend livestream Oxenfree over the course of a couple nights. I had never heard of the game beforehand, but it intrigued me. So much so, in fact, that I resolved to buy...
View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “Kill Them All”
Dat title doe. We’re only two episodes in, and it already seems like Dark Matter’s second season might just surpass its first. In what is probably the best episode of the series to date, it becomes...
View ArticleSW:TOR: Life Is Better Where It’s Vette-r
I can’t decide if that’s my best headline ever, or my worst. Another class storyline is now under my belt in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This time, the Sith warrior is on deck, and it turned out to be...

Despite the myriad flaws that quickly drove me away from the game, part of me still has a soft spot for dearly departed Dragon’s Prophet. When I first heard of Riders of Icarus, which had a similar...
View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “I’ve Seen the Other Side of You”
The ponderous beast known as iTunes has at last awoken from its slumber and bestowed upon me the latest episode of Dark Matter. Better late than never. “I’ve Seen the Other Side of You” isn’t quite the...

View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “We Were Family”
What an incredibly busy episode. “We Were Family” gives nearly every cast member some story, excepting only Four and Six, and with how the cast has expanded, that makes for a lot happening in a single...
View ArticleReview: The Gates of Good and Evil, book one: The Summonstone
Although it hasn’t been out for that long, it’s still surprising it took me this long to get around to reading the first book of The Gates of Good Evil, the newest trilogy in Ian Irvine’s vast Three...
View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “We Voted not to Space You”
Damn, for a show that didn’t even have episode titles until recently, their title game is on point. The title is better than the episode, but the episode isn’t bad. Having decided not to shoot Six out...

View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “We Should Have Seen This Coming”
I’m having a hard time not seeing this as some sort of weird Dark Matter/Secret World crossover. The Raza crew needs cash. The only way they know how to get it is through some good old fashioned space...
View ArticleReview: Warcraft, Durotan
The interesting thing about this book is that it is not based on the games, as Christie Golden’s many other Warcraft novels have been, but instead the movie. The Warcraft film has its own unique...
View ArticleWoW: The Legion Arrives + Demon Hunter Impressions
Although the pre-expansion patch for World of Warcraft technically dropped last month, it wasn’t until this week that the pre-expansion events began. Chaos reigns across Azeroth, and the Illidari rise...
View ArticleReview: Dark Matter, “She’s One of Them Now”
Hot damn this show is awesome. With their financing problem taken care of and the Seers off their back for the moment, the crew of the Raza prepares to take the offensive. Their target is the former...

Lately I’ve felt like I’ve finally started to get my alt addiction under control. But as we’ve learned from SW:TOR, class-specific content is a great way to make the old habit flare up something...

iTunes is taking its sweet time posting Dark Matter again, so in the meanwhile, enjoy this post I wrote back in June (yay backlog): Every MMO has a place where players end up congregating, the main...
View ArticleRetro Review: Humans, Episodes 1-4
Humans is a show I had heard next to nothing about, but when a new sci-fi show appears on Shomi, odds are I’m gonna give it a try. Let’s get to it. Episode one: Humans is set in a near future where...
View ArticleReviews: Dark Matter, “Stuff to Steal, People to Kill” and “Going Out Fighting”
Thanks to iTunes’ scheduling (or lack thereof), I wound up having myself a mini-marathon of Dark Matter, so instead of one episode review, today I bring you two. “Stuff to Steal, People to Kill”: And...

Right now, most World of Warcraft players are diving into the Broken Isles, but I’m holding back for a few days until the crowd dies down. Bar a, uh, minor detour or two… In the meanwhile, let’s check...
