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…

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…

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

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…

Hey there Spiderman consumers! It’s an incredible time to be a fan of the webslinger. The past years have given us so much quality Spiderman content that it’s hard to keep up. So let’s talk about it! Just this month we got what, in my opinion, is the greatest Spiderman movie of all time, Across the Spider-Verse. We also got a nice extended gameplay featurette for the long-awaited sequel to the amazing 2018 Spider-Man game. October can’t come soon enough. And then on top of all that, we just got…

Though it's undeniable that video game graphics are advancing rapidly, lore is getting richer with the growing popularity of open world games, and it's becoming more common for big publishers to hire movie stars to play characters or appear as NPCs, that doesn't mean “video game logic” isn't any less absurd. At the end of the day, video games aren't movies, and they certainly aren't real life, and when we turn on any video game, we have to suspend our disbelief quite a bit. But so what if punch…

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…
