This is basically a podcast The Game Awards happened this week and Dan and I have a lot to say about them! Going on for nearly as long as the actual show (not really), Dan and I talk about the aspects we enjoyed from the show, the games we’re anxious to play and the slow moments that made us roll our eyes.

Would you kindly…? My love for video gaming would not be what it is today if not for the Nintendo DS. While I’ve been a consistent gamer since I was four years old, the scope in which I approached the hobby during the first half of my life was quite narrow. I was pretty much a Nintendo-only gamer who rarely strayed from first-party or name-brand AAA titles. That’s just the way the world worked when you were young and had to rely on birthdays, holidays, and rentals with your meager allowance to enjoy gaming....

Return to the days of keyboard flashcards and 200-page manuals If Randy Pitchford and Peter Molyneux had a baby, Derek Smart would be the result. The long-runningcontroversy concerning his first gameBattlecruiser 3000ADis the stuff of internet legend and could fill a tome. With Usenet flame wars, lawsuits, and flipped tables, it was a huge ordeal. I bought bothBC3KandBattlecruiser Milleniumand they’re near and dear to my heart. They’re not good games, they’re broken, confusing, rambling games, but they were ambitious and I had as much fun trying to get them to work and figuring out just what the fuck was even going on than I’ve had with complete AAA titles....

The sci-fi genre is so massive that it can feel quite daunting when looking into which books you should pick up next. Some of the best out there are sci-fi thrillers, but again, it’s difficult to know which ones are worth your time and which ones are slow burns, part of a series that you need to read in its entirety or should be avoided for now.
