Lovecraftian stealth roguelike Eldritch got an update last night that adds new items, rooms, and enemies. There’s also a new audio engine and some technical changes. It’s been one of my favorite games since it launched in 2013, and I’m psyched to have an excuse to revisit it.
On April Fool’s Day, Corsair joked about a game launcher launcher that would launch your PC game launchers. My colleague Mike Fahey and I halfway wished that it were real, and our conversation got me thinking about how many game launchers I have. Here are a whole lot of PC game launchers, ranked from best…
The weekend is for doing my taxes, because I said here that I’d do them last weekend and then played Titanfall 2 all weekend instead. It was great! (The game, I mean. Not doing my taxes was also great, but now I regret it.) I’ve spent a lot of time playing Fortnite to write my…

Recently, a mysterious excavation site appeared, but it was dug up and abandoned by the time I got there the next day. As I’m…
Epic finally confirmed that reboot vans are coming to Fortnite next week, putting an end to players’ speculation. Reboot vans are a new feature, but they’ll seem familiar if you’ve played Apex Legends Here’s how they work: Dead squadmates will drop “reboot cards” that any surviving squad member can take to reboot vans, which will…
The weekend is for doing taxes. It’s also for playing “just 10 more minutes” of a video game before doing taxes. I really want to play more Apex Legends, but I’m feeling a little burnt out on multiplayer games. So I think I’m going to pick up Titanfall 2, which I’m telling myself could just…
Risk of Rain 2 surprise launched in early access last week. The game is a followup to Hopoo Games’ 2013 Risk of Rain, a 2D roguelike platformer. Though it makes some changes to the original formula, Risk of Rain 2 is less a sequel and more the original game remade in 3D. This is great.…
The weekend is for having volunteered to go to something annoyingly far from my house, but there are worse ways to spend a Saturday morning than reading on a long commute. The weekend is also for video games. I’m excited to check out Risk of Rain 2. I own Risk of Rain on both my…

The weekend is for saying this is the weekend I’m going to make bread, again, and then for getting too intimidated to do it. Again. It’s also for playing video games. I’m excited to play some Apex Legends this weekend and get a bit further in the battle pass. Even though I’m not really into…
