Comments Off on Resident Evil 7: The Untold Tragedies of Capcom’s House of Horrors

Resident Evil feels like an epilogue set dressed by the belongings of the very same people trying to kill us.

Comments Off on Far Cry 5 doesn’t touch on recent politics, and that’s a brilliant design decision

Comments Off on Friday Debate: Your private data probably isn’t private–but do you even care?

There’s an adage around social media platforms and their associated apps and service: If you’re not paying for it, then you’re the product.

Comments Off on Twitch Chat – The largely unaddressed dark side of gaming

When streamers like Ninja are pulling in the likes of Drake and breaking viewing records on Twitch, the impact of Chat is more significant than ever as the first touch point many non-gamers will have interacting with our community. We shouldn’t need to wait for a pro player to have their career significantly destroyed to realise that Twitch Chat is a largely under-addressed aspect of gaming culture that has very few positive contributions.

Comments Off on Friday Debate: What entirely pointless arguments won’t you back down from?

What entirely pointless arguments are you unable to let go of? We’re not about big things like freedom, religion, sexuality, politics or any of the other things society deems important. What entirely worthless hill are you willing to die on?
