Kingsway is a deceptively deep RPG that looks like a dated operating system

Old-school in more ways than one I like playingKingswayat my day job. It’s one of the few games that I can have running at full screen without anyone questioning my work ethic. If a coworker or customer happened to glance at my computer screen, there’s a good chance they’d assume I’m just some kind of weird Luddite, not an overworked blogger playing a surprisingly deep RPG disguised as a dated desktop interface....

Podtoid 165 records tomorrow! Give us a question!

Jim, Max, and Tara and myself will be back to recording Podtoid tomorrow afternoon, but for now, the three of those lucky ducks are on their way back from PAX, so I’m left to write this questions post… alone. I’m sure the three of them will have plenty of stories to share with us about what they did at the show. As for me, I spent most of the weekend writing reviews and features, while periodically checking the front page to see how people react to the ideal of Sonic buggering Link up the bum....

Resident Evil Village’s Mercenaries is way too picky, but I keep playing anyway

The LZ Answerer isn’t going to unlock itself! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5 playthroughs (and counting) ofResident Evil Village. But while the main story is a blast to roll through, I’ve been having a much less consistent time with The Mercenaries. It could be worse. It absolutely could be. Capcom could’ve packed in the throwaway PvP spin-offRe:Verseand called it a day. (No joke, I forgotRe:Verseexisted until I spotted it in my PS5 library last weekend....

Review: AVerMedia Live Gamer EXTREME

Live streamer’s delight I’ve been making gaming videos and streaming for what seems like forever, and I’ve gone through my fair share of capture devices. My original card only did 720p and 30fps, required hard drives setup in a RAID, and only captured massive RAW video files. Boy how things have changed. AVerMedia Live Gamer EXTREME makes the whole process simple and offers enough extra features to make it worth your attention whether you’re looking to become a big-time Twitch streamer or just capture silly videos to share with friends....

Say goodbye to Miiverse with this massive collage

So long, farewell We are just 10 days away from the end of the Miiverse. At 10:00 pm PST on November 7, the service goes dark just a couple days short of its five year anniversary. Starting with the Wii U and spreading to the 3DS just over a year later, the Miiverse played a wonderful role in connecting gamers with one another through art, memes and funny messages. I treasured every time I would see some crazy message on a billboard inSplatoonor got a glimpse of some stranger’s achievements through the use of stamps inSuper Mario 3D World....
