COVID lockdowns broke us all a little bit (or, at least, those of us who endured actual lockdowns). Huddled in our little spaces while we waited for the government to assure us that the threat was passed and we could, again, go out and experience the world. At its core, that is what Look Outside is about. It’s not about…
The folks over at Devolver Digital have very creative minds, as evidenced by the company’s new strategy to inform prospective players of game delays. In August 2023, Devolver Delayed spoofed Nintendo Directs to announce five titles delayed until 2024. With that year nearing an end, it’s the perfect time for…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Once upon a time… oh, you have heard that one? That’ll be because it’s an absolute standard fantasy trope, setting for a countless number of simple children’s stories told for centuries now. The Plucky Squire absolutely revels in tropes, not only relating…
