WoW’s 21st Anniversary is Live Now

What do you mean November is already halfway over? I swear it was April last time I looked at a calendar. Well, since it is indeed November (apparently), that means World of Warcraft is celebrating its twenty-first birthday. That’s (somewhat ironically) a…

Semi Turn-based RPG Stories of Somnia Announced

As a (some might say obnoxious) fan of the classic JRPG franchises of yesteryear, I keep an eye on a lot of RPGs. My favorites are the Turn-based kind, usually involving party management, stats, and inventory management. Stories of Somnia caught my…

SNW “Terrarium” – Review

Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Ahh, spoil sports. In his directorial debut, Andrew Coutts takes the helm, commanding the Strange New Worlds penultimate episode for season three. It isn’t Coutts first foray with Strange New Worlds or even Star Trek, though. He was previously…
