The GLAAD award nominees for 2022 have been unveiled, and once again bring video games into mix with both triple-A titles and indie hitsbeing celebrated for their queer representation. Some belong, while others feel like they’re included purely to make up the numbers and showcase that this medium is doing something in the name of […]

Star Wars has a strange universe. As mentioned when discussing the ridiculousness of a Squid Game Universe, Star Wars used to stretch far and wide. Novels, games, comics, action figures, and of course, movies, all added up to a wide and dense universe. Then Disney came along. Things weren't canon, then were again, and then […]

After a bombardment of expensive marketing, Battlefield 2042 is reportedly struggling to find an audience. DICE's shooter is rapidly losing players and publisher EA is allegedly "very disappointed" with its performance. According to an industry insider, it's even considering making it free-to-play, presumably to claw back some of its no doubt significant development budget. I've […]

Have you ever felt like Shiny Pokemon were a bit underwhelming? If you say no, you’re lying. It feels like half of the Shinies are either just a slightly different shade of the same color as the original or just straight up look worse – or sometimes both.

Because we live in a society, the biggest gaming news of the month alongside Microsoft’s unparalleled acquisition of Activision Blizzard is Tifa Lockhart being impaled during an Italian Senate meeting.

The news today has been incredibly varied to say the least. But there have been a few common threads. We heard quite a bit about endings today with a ten-year-old game on the one hand and a currently unreleased game on the other. Nintendo came up a lot as well. Somebody managed to get Grand […]

Microsoft has bought Activision Blizzard. If you somehow missed this, we’ve written what seems like a million stories about it since the deal was finalised, analysing every possible angle about how this impacts the workers, whether the company’s sexual abuse scandal will be addressed, and what the acquisition means for the wider industry. One angle […]

This entire piece is a spoiler for Disco Elysium. If there’s anything that real-life cryptids like the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti have in common, it’s their sheer, imposing size. These are creatures that have long captured our collective imagination—even becoming an integral part of folklore in certain cultures—because of what they represent: the […]

I’ve been replaying the Uncharted series in preparation for a movie that I will almost certainly think is very silly, which is definitely a good use of time as our planet slowly overheats, corporations destroy the land we walk on, and the skeleton inside of me gradually crumbles in preparation for my death. Anyway, Uncharted. […]
