Farewell TotalBiscuit

On the 24th of May John Bain aka TotalBiscuit, aka The Cynical Brit, died aged 33 after a four year battle with cancer. His death hit me harder than I expected and a lot of reviewers, YouTubers, and gamers have said a similar thing, but that is for a simple reason: He’s had a profound…

History Time: EGATrek

In this instalment of History Time we're taking a look at one specific game, EGATrek. Somewhat in relation to our previous exploration of PLATO first-person games, EGATrek has its roots in the same era with the creator, Nels Anderson, directly attributing the creation of EGATrek to his experience playing Star Trek on college computers in…

You Can’t Spell Humble Without IGN

So IGN bought Humble. And it went down about as well as you would expect. With more than a few people declaring 10/10: won't buy again. A liberal dose of hyperbole all around, I'm sure, but there's also a grain of truth to it. Now, IGN have assured us that their acquisition will not result…

So, About That Infamous EU Piracy Report

By now, I'm sure we're all aware that the EU commissioned a study regarding potential impacts piracy might have on media. You know the deal, things like downloading music from BeeMP3 (is that even still going?) or the latest Disney film from the Pirate Bay. All that good stuff. A debate that has been going…

Let’s Talk About Walking Simulators

If you’ve never heard of 'Walking Simulators' before, it’s a game “genre” where you get to walk from point A to B with lots of story in between. Usually while not doing much else.
