Where there's a review section for a product, you can almost always find gold. Some of the most entertaining reviews can easily be found on sites like Letterboxd , Yelp, and Amazon. Most of the time, the funnier and more bizarre comments tend to be the least helpful, but that's sort of part of the fun. Steam, the world's largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming, is unsurprisingly no exception. Online gamers are already known for being gratuitously crass on the internet. It's no shock…

Images you can smell

We've all been asked about our hobbies in a job interview at one point or another. That is one of those moments in a job interview to show off how well-rounded, unique, and relaxed you are. It's normal to stretch the truth to sound more impressive than you are. If I were to give you one good tip for the hobby question, it would be to include at least one athletic hobby. For some reason, that type of hobby makes you look like you've got your stuff together. It doesn't matter if it's an adult dod…

It's meme time

I remember the first time I ever played an Elder Scrolls game. My friend in grade school lent me his copy of Oblivion for Xbox. Just a few months before the release of Skyrim, I was curious about the hype, but not sold on the concept. I’m happy to say that I had a vicious stomach bug that night. So for the next days, when I stayed home from school, I got to experience the world of Cyrodiil completely uninterrupted. There’s a reason The Elder Scrolls franchise is so massively popular. I’m not go…

Greetings, fellow internet explorers. Hope everyone has been having a better week than I am, grappling with the flu. I thought I'd be able to use this time to enjoy some alone time with my cats, but I was wrong. The walls of my cramped apartment have proven to be oppressive, and the selection of shows I have left to stream is dwindling. Though I'm usually happy to be horizontal for most of the weekend, cooking up something delicious and letting this brain rot more than it already has over the p…

Every gamer I know has been playing (or talking about) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game, which was released on May 12, 2023, has received mostly positive ratings from critics and regulah degulah gamers. My friends have been gushing about the game's expansive nature, and have unabashedly bailed on hanging with me in favor of spending some more hours with their new favorite game. As someone who isn't necessarily a huge fan of Zelda , I'm happy for them, but I don't feel compell…

We're sad to report that there are still gamers in 2023 who are not only mad about seeing realistic depictions of female human characters in video games, but also feel inclined to tweet about their bad opinions no one asked for. Case in point, one dude called @poliwar_94 on Twitter recently announced his approval of the faceless femme robot twins from Atomic Heart and used them as an example of a good representation of femininity in video games, while expressing contempt for studios that create…

Well, that didn't take long. Daedelic Entertainment, the developers behind The Lord of the Rings: Gollum , have issued an apology regarding the game's heavily roasted gameplay experience. After reading critics' reviews and the Twitter reactions, it's not terribly surprising. Gamers have been waiting since 2019 for the game, and the time doesn't seem to have added to its caliber. In fact, the Playstation 5 version is currently the worst-rated game of the year.

Things have been relatively quiet for the Lord of the Rings fandom of late. After all the insane drama (and to be quite frank, blatant racism) surrounding The Rings of Power, e ven the most annoying and pedantic whining feels like a relief. We've been able to enjoy the funniness, and the rewatches, without interruption. This week, however, we've been hearing a lot of rumblings about the new The Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. And lemme tell ya, the rumbling ain't positive. While reviews are not…
