Oblivion Remastered: Bethesda’s Sneaky Nostalgia Bomb
Bethesda Stealth-Drops Oblivion Remastered Like It’s an Indie Game (??) So, in classic Bethesda fashion—where logic and timing are optional—they just dropped The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered outta nowhere. No hype cycle. No cringey Todd Howard on a livestream whispering, “It just works.” Just boom—new (old) game.Steam page. Go play it. Wild. This felt less like a triumphant return and more like someone trying to slide back into a party they Irish exited five years ago. Zero fanfare, just that awkward, “Oh hey, I’m back. You guys still like… gates to hell, right?” Image Source: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered | Bethesda Softworks Let’s be clear—this isn’t some little “HD texture pack slapped on the corpse of a beloved classic.” This is a full-on remaster. New lighting engine, updated character models that (mostly) don’t look like melting potatoes, and that juicy […]

What Happened to Pokémon Go: The Rise and Fall of an Icon
Pokémon Gone: How Greed, Wokeness, and Tone-Deaf Decisions Killed the Hype Once upon a time in July 2016, Pokémon GO exploded into the world like a Charizard with anger issues. Nerds, normies, boomers, college kids, and TikTokers alike were out in the streets chasing digital creatures. It was more than a game - it was a movement.In its first month, Pokémon GO had over 28.5 million daily active users in the U.S. alone, and raked in $207 million in revenue, according to Sensor Tower. It was the closest thing we had to a real-world Pokémon journey.And for a while, it was pure magic.But fast forward to today, and we’re watching a masterclass in how to take one of the most beloved franchises ever and run it into the dirt. 2016 to 2018: The Pokémon Go-lden Era The early years of […]
Schedule 1: The Drug Empire Sim You Didn’t Know You Needed
Alright, listen up, degenerates. If you haven’t heard of Schedule 1 yet, I’m about to ruin your productivity for the next few weeks.This absolute fever dream of a game is sitting pretty at #3 on Steam’s most-played list at the time of writing, and for damn good reason. It takes the already-addictive formula of management sims, injects it with an unhealthy dose of humor, wraps it up in an animation style that feels like Adult Swim met Breaking Bad, and slaps you in the face with a soundtrack that somehow makes pushing fictional narcotics feel like a religious experience. Welcome to the Drug Trade, You Scumbag The premise? You’re a washed-up drug dealer, clawing your way back to the top of the criminal underworld by doing what you do best—getting people absolutely hooked on increasingly questionable substances.But don’t get it twisted; Schedule 1 […]
R.E.P.O. Update Preview: Matchmaking, Overcharge, and More
Alright, let’s talk R.E.P.O.—the game that stormed Steam and somehow launched without a proper matchmaking system (seriously, how?). But hey, it’s sitting comfortably at #5 on the most-played list, and the devs have been cooking up some much-needed improvements. They just dropped a vlog detailing what’s coming next, and there’s a lot to chew on so let's break it down! Matchmaking - Finally, Some Convenience First and foremost, matchmaking is finally making its way into R.E.P.O. If you’re anything like me, trying to find lobbies through random Discord servers or third-party forums was an absolute pain in the ass. A game this popular launching without matchmaking was a baffling oversight, but at least they’re fixing it quickly.Soon, you’ll be able to queue up and find teammates without having to scroll through sketchy subreddits or beg your friends to buy the game.This […]
Gaming Media’s Selective Reporting and Weaponizing Controversy
Media Manufacturing Discourse and Sweeping Others Under the Rug Ah, gaming journalism - the noble profession where integrity bows before agendas, and headlines are more carefully curated than an Ubisoft press conference.Today, we dive into the strange case of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, two games with same-sex romance options, yet one got paraded around like the second coming of progressive gaming while the other got a footnote buried under a pile of Ubisoft PR fluff. Hans Capon: The Romance Option That Divided Gamers Let’s start with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the sequel to the historically immersive RPG that made “realism” its entire personality. This time, the developers thought, “Hey, let’s add a little extra...choice,” and in came the ability to romance Lord Hans Capon. While Henry was canonically straight in the first game, I personally didn't […]
R.E.P.O. Review: Where Unhinged Horror Meets Comedy Gold
If Lethal Company had a cousin that dropped out of college to become a stand-up comedian while dodging death at every turn, it’d be R.E.P.O. This game is another horror/online co-op looter fest in the same vein as Lethal Company, but what really sets it apart is its absolutely unhinged humor, frantic gameplay, and an array of monstrous enemies that want to send you straight to robot hell.So, let’s break it down and see why R.E.P.O. might just be the best chaotic horror looter game to bless Steam in a long while. What Is R.E.P.O.? Imagine you and your buddies are adorable little loot robots, tasked with scouring abandoned locations to extract valuable items for cash. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Every step is an opportunity for disaster, whether it’s a misstep that shatters your precious loot into worthless dust or one of the […]
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows – A Missed Strike in the Dark
Assassin's Creed: Shadows—A Dive into Ubisoft's Latest Controversy Magnet Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed entry, Shadows, has landed - and with it, a tidal wave of controversy.From its historical liberties to marketing disasters, this game is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. But perhaps the biggest red flag is Ubisoft’s so-called "anti-harassment plan"—a move some see as preemptive damage control.Let’s break it all down. Was Yasuke an Actual Samurai? Let's kick things off with our protagonist, Yasuke. Ubisoft proudly presents him as an African samurai, a bold move that screams diversity. But hold your katanas - historical records about Yasuke are as scarce as a stealthy ninja in broad daylight. While it's documented that Yasuke arrived in Japan and caught the eye of Oda Nobunaga, the leap to samurai status is more speculative than solid. Some historians, like Yu Hirayama, argue that Yasuke […]
Happy National Mario Day! Let’s Celebrate Gaming’s Greatest Icon
Happy National Mario Day! It’s March 10th, National Mario Day, aka Mar10 Day—a glorious time when Nintendo fans around the world gather to celebrate the mustachioed plumber who has been jumping on turtles, saving princesses, and dominating the gaming industry for over four decades.Whether you grew up on the pixelated pipes of the NES or you’re speedrunning Odyssey in a fit of postmodern gaming mastery, today is all about Mario. So let’s take a power-up-fueled dive into the history, successes, and current celebrations of everyone’s favorite red-hatted hero. The Birth of a Legend: How Mario Took Over the World Before he was the face of Nintendo, Mario was just a plucky little dude in overalls making his debut in Donkey Kong (1981). Back then, he was known as Jumpman—which, let’s be honest, sounds like a knockoff superhero that never quite made […]
