10 Reasons to Explore the Thunderhead Peaks

BY: BRISEADH

I’ve enjoyed a lot of what ArenaNet has done in the expansion of Guild Wars 2 over the years. Sure there are parts that drove me nuts, some that turned me off, but there is something about this game that keeps me coming back, unlike many other games I’ve played. I will admit part of it is the great community at Gaiscioch. However, it’s the fun of seeing what new twist they put in to keep it familiar, but different. What achievements will they give to infuriate us while we scrounge our way across a new map? I’m definitely a goal oriented person and like the fun of figuring out the new things they add, even if I haven’t completed half of what is there already.

Fallout 76: A Basic Survival Guide

BY: BRISEADH

I’m truly enjoying this game in some of my spare time. It has a huge learning curve to overcome compared to what I’ve played for the past decade. However, the good news is that anyone that has played Fallout 4 will find the curve smaller due to the similarities.

Kaos Krewe: Explosion Potential Included

BY: BRISEADH

Dallraigh looked up from her pile of books and scrolls on a side table of the lab they had managed to rent, as the rest of the krewe walked in with an assortment of boxes and parts. She sat back to watch Inneall efficiently pull everything out and organize it, despite Adhuil trying to examine a piece and Cliste playing with one.

Tencent, How Short Sighted Teenagers Cut Down a Titan

BY: EDWARD "SCREENAGER" ORR

If you’ve been unlucky enough to work in finance, then some of you might have heard the news that Tencent is no longer listed among the world’s ten most valuable companies. After months of hardship, the massive tech firm has dropped around 40% of their share value, a staggering $250 billion, over the last nine months and the implications reach far beyond their HQ in Shenzhen.

Fallout 76: A Review of Apocalyptic Survival

BY: BRISEADH

I did not pay much attention to this game when some of my friends in Gaiscioch were looking at it. I’ve been primarily a fantasy MMO player for quite some time. It’s been over a decade since I played anything close to Fallout 76 for theme. However, one of them streams the game a lot so I saw the game that way during beta. On release day, I had the money for it so bought it, but slightly too late. For a digital download it seems odd that some ran out of digital keys and you had to wait for a box to show up at your house. It got here two days earlier than I expected, so I had a week to play before starting this review, and really don’t feel behind on anything, because I have great friends to help me.

Indie Developer Creates Breathtaking Viking Survival Experience

BY: BENJAMIN "FOGHLADHA" FOLEY

We've seen a fair share of survival games over the past few years. Building a game that separates itself from the pack is increasingly more difficult as more are released. But that hasn't stopped Richard Svensson from pushing forward on his vision.
