I tried to play Mass Effect when it was first released in 2007. And I almost immediately turned off my Xbox 360 as soon as I had to get into the M35 Mako — Mass Effect’s divisive, horrifying-to-control space vehicle. The memory of it, struggling to steer as I flung my vehicle off cliffs, is […]
Forget Tetris Make Up, Give Me Horizon Zero Dawn Make Up
Tetris is getting a new make up palette. That sounds absurd at first, like if you heard there were Halo-flavoured Pringles, or the Polish prime minister was being added to Tekken 7, or that Bryce Dallas Howard was directing the next Star Wars video game. However, just like all of those, the more you think […]
Celeste Reminds Me Of How Mean I Was Before I Transitioned
Celeste has always been a tough game for me, and not just because of its difficulty spike. I played Celeste around its release in 2018, and that was back before I worked in games. I still loved video games, but I wasn’t involved in all of the daily cut-and-thrust of video game discourse, I didn’t […]
Haikyu Reminds Me Of Why People Care About Sports
First of all, I only started watching Haikyu last night. Second of all, I went to sleep at a ridiculous hour last night because I watched way too much Haikyu. What I mean is, Haikyu is not only good, but genuinely excellent – never in all my years did I think I’d lose sleep over […]

Wumpa Fruit G Fuel Showed Me The Secret Truth About Crash Bandicoot
I have a theory about Wumpa Fruit. Bear with me, this is going to get pretty deep into Crash Bandicoot lore. The original game established that Crash was just an ordinary bandicoot until he was abducted by Dr. Cortex. Cortex and his childhood friend N. Brio built an Evolvo-Ray and turned Crash into a mutant […]
It'll Take Me Another 20 Years To Reach Pokémon Go's New Level Cap
Niantic wasn’t messing around when it raised Pokémon Go’s level cap from 40 to 50 late last year. When the game launched in 2016, trainers were able to ascend through the first 40 levels with determined playing, leaving many to wonder if Niantic would create additional endgame content for them, other than the steady drip of […]

You Can’t Fool Me Toriyama: That Dragon Quest Boss Is Just Piccolo With A Beard
Akira Toriyama is the creator of Dragon Ball, which makes him one of the most important figures in the history of anime and manga. He is the creator of the second best-selling manga of all time, and its anime adaptation was the gateway to Japanese animation for many kids who grew up in the early ’00s. […]
