The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
It’s a terrible day to be a blob. First your homeworld is destroyed, then you flee to some disgusting backwards planet, where a local scientist has captured you and your friends to run experiments on. How rude. The only solution is to escape, save your fellow blobs, then extract a little revenge by absorbing the…
Powerful demons are wreaking havoc across Tokyo! Who better to protect the populace than… the local theatre troop? Problem is they’re just as bad at fighting as they are at acting. Now it’s up to Seijuro Kamiyama to whip them into shape, somehow. Through the power of love, and some big mechs, maybe they can…
I’ve often had dreams of ditching suburbia and moving off into the woods. The fast pace of city life seems exciting at first for those of us who grew up in small towns. However, as the years tick on, and the rat race drags on, it can become overbearing. Maybe there’s something to living life…
What if you woke up one morning and were suddenly swallowed up by a gaping sink hole. What if that hole were being remotely controlled by a cheeky raccoon who’s destroying the whole town in order to win his own quad-copter. Donut County is certainly a weird game. It takes place in a fictional California…
What Remains of Edith Finch is a story about death. Or rather, how absurd the whole concept of impermanence can feel, as viewed through the lens of a single misfortunate family. You see, the Finches have a curse on them. Or so the legend goes. One which has dogged them ever since great-great grandpa Odin…
It’s fair to say that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is probably the most anticipated Switch game this Fall. Who doesn’t want more Zelda? Well, a demo dropped this week, so we finally have a taste of what to expect come late November. Really, there’s a lot to love here for both Zelda fans and…
On the Weekend throwback, we revisit some vintage, well aged (like fine milk) articles from the site’s history, to see how tech has evolved in the last 13 years. Today, we’re checking out our classic review of the iPhone 3G. A phone which was a pretty big deal back when it came out, and also…
Joker is shaping up to be the most controversial film of 2019. Well, I’ve seen it for you and I can tell you that, without a doubt, this movie is unabashedly… a perfectly enjoyable movie. You should go see it. Yeah, as one would expect, the mainstream media has been completely dishonest about this film….
Rose Tico™. She’s the Star Wars™ character Asian girls needed so they’d have someone to look up to. At least since Disney unceremoniously canned Jan Ors out from “canon”. But who needs interesting characters anyway? We’ve got Rose instead. She’s short, she’s annoying, and she’s here to point the finger of scorn at all your…
I’m convinced Proteus has a hidden brilliance to it. Yet perhaps I am not smart enough to find it. It’s one of those art house projects that tries to bend the very definition of what is a game. I’m just not sure it succeeds in that goal. It starts by setting you down on a randomly…
