It feels like the release of Endwalker was just yesterday. But in reality, it’s been several months since FFXIV’s latest expansion. And as usual SE has been busy working on new content for fans to enjoy. Now, if you’ve been paying attention to everything going on in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, you might be wondering what new...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Critical Role has become a big deal for D&D. To date, we’ve seen the publication of one official and two unofficial Critical Role campaign books for fifth edition. This is no small accomplishment! The Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount brought the world of Critical Role into the official D&D cannon – something...
What can I say? After my recent read of The Stand, I found myself completely hooked on Stephen King. Even though I had several other books on my list of things to read, I couldn’t resist the urge to dive into another one of King’s novels.

Right around the time for that review, the game was re-released under the Sega Ages banner for the Nintendo Switch. This re-release featured an enhanced version of the original game with a few quality-of-life updates included. I was quite impressed with the treatment...
Its no secret that I’m a big fan of the Original Adventures Reincarnated line by Goodman Games. To date, I’ve discussed the first two installments in this series.

The game I’m going to be talking about today is Super Mario Sunshine. In many ways this review is a milestone. I say this because Super Mario Sunshine is one of the first games that I purchased after a long stint away from console gaming. I’ve told this story before, but for that sake of explaining why this game is...
Ever since I was a child, Star Wars fans have wanted to know more about the elusive character of Boba Fett. For nearly two decades, the only official glimpse we had of the character came from brief scenes in two of the original three movies.
