This isn’t a picture from The Witcher 3. It’s complicated, OK? Last weekend I finished the main storyline for The Witcher 3 and, well…something happened. I’ll tell you about it next week. It’s still too raw. Instead, I’m going to play more Night in the Woods. I’m also going to check out the new Deus Ex:…

I’m in The Witcher 3 for the long haul, readers, and damned if I’m not taking you down with me. I think I’m pretty close to the end of the story, so I’ve started dragging my feet a little, even though Luke Plunkett assures me there’s like 80 more hours of DLC. Every new question…

Do you even have to ask? I just chose Yennefer to be Geralt’s love interest but I have a lot of doubts! What if I only think I love her because the game makes such a big deal out of their relationship, much like she’s worried about? What even is love? These are big questions,…

There’s a range of games in PlayStation Plus’ lineup for February, which drops on the 7th.

As ever, these games are only…

The weekend is for taking a shower that’s longer than 10 minutes because you have to run out the door to work. It’s also for playing games! I have not been able to play The Witcher 3 ALL WEEK LONG because I’ve been very busy. Last weekend I finally made it to Skellige but it…
