Kill It With Fire - An Arachnophobic Dream Response

BY: DON "DONALIAM" RUSH

In many video games, there is one creature that always seems to make an appearance and that is spiders. They are usually the same size as your hero and not totally realistic, but it is certainly fun to kill a bunch of them. Most of the time the spiders may have a single kill quest or you have a need to farm them for some materials. In Kill it With Fire, developed by Casey Donnellan Games LLC and published by tinyBuild, you will take on the role of a spider exterminator specialist. Your mission is simple: KILL SPIDERS!!

Granny's Travel Guides: West Bjora Marches

BY: GMAFOG

West Bjora Marches has a lot of features that East Bjora Marches had, but it seems better laid out and is centered around Spirits’ Refuge to make directions easier. That being said, the description to each place will be from Spirits’ Refuge, which is located at Still Waters Speaking Waypoint. I will be adding a little tidbit of information to this guide, to leave you with a challenge. There are multiple Idols of Jormag, norn and essence chests that have been seen in my travels, but directions to them will be the adventure. The larger essence chest will need raven lock mastery. Keep your eyes open!

As Far As the Eye - A Game Review and General Guide

BY: ALTHEA "BRISEADH" DAMGAARD

This gem hit Steam on September 10, 2020. After only 11 hours of play, I found this game fun but also overly daunting. I can’t say how many pupils have died on their way to the Eye as I learned this game. Despite having way more failures than successes, I find it intriguing enough to try again. The following is an overview of the game so you can understand how it works and why I am already addicted to playing.

Joyful Journey to End Game - A Lord of the Rings Online Guide

BY: ALTHEA "BRISEADH" DAMGAARD

Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) has existed for thirteen years and has added a new expansion and endgame content in the past year starting with Minas Morgal in the fall of 2019 and an endgame raid called Remmorchant in March 2020. Some things have changed with these recent additions, but much of the underlying content remains the same. There is talk of changes, but any game that wants to last over a decade has to do some. The core of the game remains the same and the story stays true to Middle Earth.

A Midsummer's Wedding: A Lord of the Rings Online Guide

BY: ALTHEA "BRISEADH" DAMGAARD

On June 30th, 2020, new content was added to the Lord of the Rings Online game, which continues the story by adding Volume V Book 1. It is the long-awaited wedding of Aragorn, excuse me, King Elessar and Arwen. The story itself does not take that long to play through but I highly suggest you read and pay attention to what is going on the first time through. I will tell you the flow and how to get people for this story, but will leave the full fun of the story conversations for you to read for yourself while playing.

Waking: A Guided Meditative Journey You Won't Soon Forget

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

Over the past weekend, I had the chance to play a new action-adventure title called "Waking". At first glance, the visual style and soundscape attracted me to this game. What I found was much deeper than I could have ever imagined. Waking was doing something very different from every game I've ever played in my 42 years of life.

A year ago the action RPG Conqueror's Blade fired it's first trebuchets as it launched into early access. This medieval war simulator brought some fresh dynamics to the genre with troop management, territory control, and some wicked good rock, paper, scissors gameplay.

Perfectly Paired: Two Life-Changing Story-Driven Adventures

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

To say a game is life-changing seems like a gross exaggeration. However, in the case of these two games, we Perfectly Pair today is more of an understatement. I was initially drawn to these games by their stunning visuals and what looked to be a rich story.
