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.

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…

My nerdiest friend at the time, Lindsey, had just gotten the game and invited me over to play. We sat cross-legged on the floor of her bedroom, surrounded by sheets of graph paper, pencils, and dice. Lindsey was the Dungeon Master, and her little brother and I were the adventurers. Lindsey began describing the dark, foreboding forest that surrounded our character…
