Today is May 1, which is not only Labour day across much of the world but also the first day in the fantasy blog event Wyrd & Wonder! It's great fun, that one, and I thought I'd pitch in with a post that would put FEAR back into everyone's fantastical Wyrdness and Wonderness! https://youtu.be/oC58_iV7lWw Inscryption...

There's something delectably fun about a villain that's perfectly defined by their name, especially when that name is a monosyllabic nouns like "Pride" or "Sin" or "Ruin".

It's strange to find out that the most excited announcement that came out of the 2020 Game Advertisements Awards is that of Disco Elysium's massive, free update. The Final Cut promises plenty and knowing ZA/UM, the studio behind this modern classic, I have little doubt that it will deliver. What's more, that this is a... Continue Reading →
