Hey, folks! I've got for you a new review about Jeff VanderMeer's Veniss Underground, a fascinating if somewhat flawed work. A lot happens across these two-hundred-and-fifty pages: a heartbreaking tale of separation and rediscovery, a descent into the underworld, a Biblical struggle between man and cruel god--all of it written with prose at once substantial...

Previous - Hope Dies | Next After the spectacular defeat the rebels suffered at the hands of Darth Vader following Queen Trios' betrayal, our heroes are forced to scatter throughout the galaxy in search of safe haven. Luke, Leia, and Han are torn away from their friends and allies, even from the Millenium Falcon itself.... Continue Reading →
Heya folks! I've got a review of Martha Wells' second Murderbot Diaries novella, Artificial Condition. It's short and sweet, and the last video I'm doing with this setup. Brace yourselves, folks - I'm changing the ol' show up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8_bduKVP0

Previous - The Ashes of Jedha/Mutiny at Mon Cala | Next - The Escape Ever since he took the reins with the seventh volume of this ongoing series, The Ashes of Jedha, GIllen has been building towards something - if the last panel of Mutiny at Mon Cala provided the answer to what, Hope Dies...

Age of Empires IV's developer Relic Entertainment revealed the long-awaited strategy's first gameplay trailer this weekend, and I felt something in my chest constrict--either a minor heart attack at the veritable age of twenty-five, or a wave of nostalgia must've overcome me, for as I watched on, I was reminded by the hundreds of hours...

Previous - Age of Republic: Villains | Next - Hope Dies I'm excited to read through the five-volume arc Gillen has done, especially after a lackluster few volumes by Jason Aaron. Kieron's Darth Vader run remains the unquestionable height to which all Star Wars titles aspire, or should. That's how good it is, yes, and... Continue Reading →
Outriders has sold well, well enough to get onto the coveted No. 01 spot on Steam; it even managed to climb up to No. 06 on the UK's Top 10 best-selling games of the week! That Outrider has, in its first week, become bigger than Avengers over its eight months of shelf life, must come... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/NY7uuiKcIbc Between the two of us, Baldur's Gate 3 is everything a D&D player might want, especially when his five-year-old group keeps ghosting him. Larian Studios' Early Access title does have a 𝔣𝔢𝔴 bugs. A smattering of them. Tiny, tiny amount. But amusing, most of them - as you will discover for yourselves. Follow me... Continue Reading →
Previous - Bounty Hunters Vol. 01, Galaxy's Deadliest | Next - The Ashes of Jedha/Mutiny at Mon Cala A five-issue anthology, this was an enjoyable, well-written (if short) look at some of my favourite childhood villains from the prequel trilogy. And Jango Fett. And the robot guy with the arms. The first story chronicles the... Continue Reading →
