I write about video games and game news!
It’s honestly really great looking. I might make the switch myself

Jagex, Runescape, and the Looming Threat of Corporate Profit
Runescape has been a staple of the MMORPG genre for nearly two decades. However, the game's developer, Jagex, has been becoming increasingly bold with what they're willing to pitch to their community.
If anyone cares, I wrote a piece addressing this as well. It's a classic story of a harvard executive not understanding video games, not understanding the industry, and failing at every opportunity. Jason Schreier was the one with the original scoop. Jason's article is really meaty and worth the read.
Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn't feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now
EA CEO Andrew Wilson and EA's Chief Financial Officer Stuart Canfield addressed investors following the release of their quarterly financial results and hinted that they believe Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have sold better had it been live-service. What could this mean for Mass Effect 5?
Sorry about that. It should be back up now
Thanks to everyone who reads this. I've been working pretty hard on these articles and this one ended up being one of the longest to put together
February is a packed month, so to get you ready, here’s a list of my most anticipated games for February 2025: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Civilization 7, and more.
Marvel Snap developer, Second Dinner, has abandoned Nuverse and partnered with Skystone Games
No but RFK has been saying that he isn’t against vaccines to try to get confirmed so it’s important evidence that will be ignored during his confirmation hearing
Not really surprising after they destroyed what was left of the game and its community with the most recent update. I'm really not sure why anyone thought that was a good idea
Marvel Rivals rumored character roster has swelled to 20 names

Marvel Snap Team Seeks New Publisher to Avoid Future U.S. Bans
Marvel Snap is online in the U.S. again after it was banned after its publisher, Nuverse, took it down alongside TikTok on Sunday.
Tom Warren from the verge is also saying that it'll be this week, so that gives this leak a lot of credibility imo.
Reliable leaker and podcaster, Nate the Hate, announced on his podcast that the Switch 2 will be announced this Thursday, 16th January. Meanwhile, Tom Warren of The Verge corroborated on X that a S…
Nintendo Responds to Leaks: "Not Official"
Yesterday, I wrote an article covering all the Nintendo Switch 2 leaks from CES and online, and now Nintendo has finally released a statement addressing them. Nintendo responded to the Japanese pub…

Supreme Court OKs completion of Mountain Valley gas pipeline
Tucked into last month's deal to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default was a provision Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., insisted on in exchange for his support. In explicit terms, Congress not only approved the Mountain Valley Pipeline, but "Section 234" of the debt ceiling bill also took away the ability of federal courts to hear any remaining challenges to it.
Of course he did.

Immortals Fenyx Rising 2 Reportedly Canceled Amid Ubisoft Pivot to Its Established Franchises
Ubisoft has reportedly canceled a sequel to 2020's Immortals Fenyx Rising as it pivots to focus on its more established franchises like Assassin's Creed.

That’s why I’m surprised he’s even trying. His campaign has to know how unpopular he is right? Why even continue spending money on a failed campaign?
I guess we’re calling tweets exes now? X’s?

Datto's Video on taking a break
I really wanted to talk about this video. I'm surprised by the support I've seen on this video over in the /r/destinythegame subreddit because I think it's overly dismissive of real issues and the communities feelings towards it.
One of his points that really stuck with me was when he said that the FOMO doesn't matter when it comes to seasonal stories because I can look up videos or other resources online to try to catch up.
Is that really a good enough solution to deflect criticism from Bungie?
What about triumphs or titles?
This video really left a bad taste in my mouth, but I recognize that I'm in the minority on this.
