Another breezy few days online.

My second Xbox 360 game was “Fallout 3." To say I'm a fan of the franchise would be a remarkable understatement. I lived and breathed Fallout for a good decade. I still do, despite the travesty that was “Fallout 76." It's an incredibly fun and also bleak world to explore. Based on the ridiculous fanbase that the property has developed, I don't think I'm alone in saying that Fallout is one of the greatest videogame franchises to exist. At the slow, and mostly understandable, rate that Bethesda d…

Just a couple of gamers, living out everyone's romantic fantasy in Paris... NBD

I was more into Halo than Call of Duty growing up. It's just the better series. At least, in my opinion. At some point in elementary school, all of my friends switched over to the first Black Ops game. Nobody wants to be the odd man out in sixth grade, so I quickly followed. That was my first, and greatest, introduction to the series. Everyone's favorite Call of Duty game iteration depends on what they played in middle school. I don't make the rules, that's just how it is. Nostalgia and popular…

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…

Time for some Mario

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…
