It’s that time again. This past week saw roughly 250 new games listed to the Steam store, and odds are a large portion of them are absolute trash. Actually, I can confirm that most of them look like absolute trash considering that out of those that actually came out, I could only find maybe sixteen … Continue reading “[Not Massive] Another Week Of Interesting Steam Releases”

I am a neglectful person. First I barely acknowledge MMO Fallout hitting nine years old last year, and now I look back at the archives and find out that I never published a predictions piece for 2018?

That said, Paul Reiche III and Robert Frederick Ford have decided to end the year with … Continue reading “Star Control: Origins Gets Yanked From Store Shelves After DMCA Takedown”
Technically we’re still in 2018, but this product doesn’t come out until 2019 so I’m going to use that tag anyway. 2019, the year I can use whatever tag I want. In case you thought it was bad enough that Ubisoft was partnering with Totinos to promote their games, well they’ve gone further down the … Continue reading “[2019] The Year Of Pre-Ordering Energy Drinks”
Fallout 76: It’s a game that was afforded maybe two hours of good press before Bethesda drove it straight into a brick wall. Bethesda’s games are notoriously buggy, but evidently not even their support system can escape the company curse. Such is the story of Reddit user Jessiepie who found her account suddenly able to view … Continue reading “Bethesda’s Support Website Leaks Personal Information”
