Nick’s time with Assassin’s Creed Shadows has pointed towards a franchise that feels like it’s lacking a strong central identity.

The title of this column will either age pretty well, or extremely poorly. Regardless, at this moment in time, I feel something about the Silent Hill franchise that I haven’t felt in the better part of 20 years – optimism…kind of.

When people think of superhero deconstruction, they tend to think about Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen. That is the most famous example of a writer and artist picking apart the conventions and logic of the superhero narrative. Indeed, even Marvel Studios have arguably enga...

As April approaches we're looking at doing a little Patreon refresh now that the Spring rush is slowing down a bit with game releases.
One of the things we've been looking at is our sponsor-free videos, a perk at the $10+ tier that not many have taken advantage of.
We're looking at potentially moving the sponsor-free videos perk down to the $5 tier so that more people take advantage of it, and ideally, we can convince some of you at the $1 or $3 tier to bump up...

Probably should have done this a while ago but forgot that Patreon had pinned posts!
We've noticed that the vast majority of you don't use the sponsor-free videos, so we wanted to make sure that you know where to find them.
As a note: We only upload videos to this playlist that have a sponsor attached, so not every video goes in this playlist.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but video games peaked 30 years ago today. Which is another way of saying HBD, Chrono Trigger! Square’s totemic RPG hit Japan on March 11th, 1995 for the Super Famicom, eventually making its way to the west later that year. And depending on the mood you caught me in when you asked, I might say that it’s my favorite video game ever made.
I’m sur...
