Articles with significant references to videogames/gaming
There are few shows out there that have become icons long after they have ended.

The following contains spoilers for Halo S1E1, “Contact” (written by Kyle Killen & Steven Kane and directed by Otto Bathurst) As the theme song from Star Trek: Enterprise says, “It’s been a long road, getting from there to here,” and the journey for Halo from video game to the screen has been a long one […] More
Hello. I hope you didn’t feel like we’d abandoned you. It’s been a couple of weeks. Sorry about that. We should be here for you every week from here on out, rain or shine, like Kevin Costner in The Postman, if that reference makes sense (it’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie). Regardless, […] More
I don’t know about you, but I actually like winter—the dark…the cold…the stillness of snow lit by the moon. It’s a perfect time to stay inside and watch TV or films, listen to music or discover some podcasts. Each week our staff gathers in this space to recommend those things we’ve been into recently. They […] More
Well, we’re a week into January and it’s cold (at least where I live). The world outside remains…well, let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about the good things like TV shows we’ve recently discovered, or that we’re excited to have return, books, films, music and games we think you might enjoy, and so on. […] More

The Wholesome Snack is the equivalent of a Nintendo Direct Mini, showcasing a dozen games with new trailers and gameplay footage. You can find the full […] More
I admit freely Unpacking has been my most anticipated game of the year. The cozy, chill vibes of the trailer hooked me instantly, and when the demo was available on Steam I played through it several times. So when Humble Games reached out to me with a key I was ecstatic. Made by Australian developer […] More
To The Rescue! is a dog shelter simulator, and works similar to running a store except with adorable doggies. It’s also helping real dogs in the process because 20% of profits from To The Rescue! will be donated to The Petfinder Foundation. The game received funding from August 6th to September 3rd of 2019 on […] More

The Good Life is the newest title from Swery, creator of cult classic Deadly Premonition. Yukio Futatsugi, the creator of Panzer Dragoon led the development team on a project partly funded by Kickstarter. It’s been a few years since that campaign (spring 2018) with delays pushing it back from 2019, to 2020 and now finally […] More
SUDA51 is one of gaming’s most fascinating creators to me. There tends to be a pretty consistent theme with his works: there’s usually an element of surrealism; there’s meta, self-referential humor; there’s usually extreme and often times comical amounts of violence.
