Well, here is one thing I thought I would never see; on the first day of Quakecon 2012, it was announced that the 1995 cousin of Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of The Triad, is getting a sequel/remake scheduled to hit Steam later this year. I’ll admit that this one came out…
Read MoreThe updated and enhanced edition of one of the greatest RPGs of all time will be coming to PC’s, Mac’s, and mobile platforms in September- and it’s bringing a treasure chest of improvements along with it. Of all the Dungeons & Dragons titles I’ve played (and all the RPG’s in…
Read MoreIt can sometime be hard for creators to respond to fan criticism. If the creator decides to ignore complaints then they risk losing an audience while also potentially enhancing their work, but if a creator decides to accept complaints and take action upon them they will undoubtedly cause a small…

Read MoreI’m a bit of a coward when it comes to Crusader Kings 2. I survived the Norman Invasion by hiding my troops in Wales until it was all over. I defeated Harald Hardrada by ignoring him until he wandered off. Mostly, though, I avoid the stresses of medieval life by…
Read MoreI am standing on the edge of a cliff, gazing into a desert abyss. I have been scaling a giant, ancient statue that represents all that remains of a long lost civilization that worshipped a magical pair of underpants, and my mission is to reclaim this priceless relic from some…
