I’ve been thinking a lot about video games that have lots of puzzles in them lately. Maybe it’s because we’re approaching Father’s Day in a couple of weeks and I have fond recollections of playing things like Monkey Island and Myst in the den with my grandfather, or maybe it’s because the long days in quarantine are starting to force me into comfort through nostalgia. Either way, today we’re talking about puzzle games!

Earlier this year, E3 joined GDC and several other conventions in cancelling their event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some events have adapted with their cancellations by moving some or all of their programming into an online format, much like Microsoft did with their Build conference last month.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little stir-crazy at this point. The days are starting to blend together so much that I can scarcely keep track of what day it even is anymore, which becomes especially difficult during the work week since I’ve lost the routine of leaving my house and getting in my car to drive

I honestly had been meaning to get into more of Neil Gaiman's works for a long time, and recently I finally got around to starting Neverwhere . So far, not at all disappointed. I do love his writing tone and cadence a lot.

Monday was Star Wars Day, and as I’m writing this it’s currently Revenge of the 5th, so...I’m just declaring that this week is “Star Wars Week” and so you’re getting a Star Wars blog. Yub nub! I am prone to nostalgia, I fully admit this. Star Wars, in and of itself, is full of those old, wonderful memories for me - my Dad raised me and my sister on the movies, and our favorite Fr

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="2" id="3776780"] In an effort to soothe him & cheer him up, we took him within a day or two to see Star Wars: Episode IV (we wanted to go see a lighthearted movie, he had no clue obviously). He has been a complete Star Wars junkie ever since and, even at age 45, still has a huge collection of figurines and 'official' toys. Has seen every film & watched all the related spin-off series and streaming stuff. Amazing what in impression

Next week marks one of my favorite holidays. Unfortunately for me and my office mates, we will be spending it apart from each other in our own homes. For us, May 4th is a day of geeky celebration, of shared memes and, more importantly, shared (and themed!) food. When my first opportunity to celebrate Star Wars with some fellow nerds came around, I started fairly simple. I happened to have cupcake wrappers and decor

Over the last several months, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to quarantine in their homes, causing an increase of use for entertainment streaming platforms. Today, Disney announced that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be coming to Disney+ two months earlier than intended. Appr
I’ve been spending the last several weeks in isolation (like most people), and because I have no coworkers around me to inconvenience, this means taking off the headset and blasting my music of choice out of my computer speakers. What I listen to usually depends on what I’m writing (for example, I have a different set of music for writing stories than I do for writing, say, software press releases
Facebook is taking a deeper dive into the gaming realm. Facebook launched a new dedicated mobile app called Facebook Gaming on Monday, where people will be able to create and watch live gameplay.

[quote who="BlackSmokeDMax" reply="1" id="3775508"] I'd think that should be an adults only rating. They are technically gambling at that point in regards to the "random items"? And does anywhere allow teens to gamble? [/quote] To a certain degree, I definitely agree with you - and that's definitely been the debate. IS this gambling? And if we define it as such, how far will that definition have to reach? Does it have to apply to randomized toy capsules as well? And so on.</
