Runners burhác, LuckY, bill_play3, and JurasPatryk have claimed the world record in completing “Dead Air” the fastest in a thread on Reddit. Despite the lack of…
Final Fantasy VII Remake is apparently “progressing well” according to some key creators, but it isn’t going fast enough. So this week’s ‘Shop Contest is about speeding it up…by making it ourselves. As you can see up top, I have some ideas about what Final Fantasy VII Remake should have going on. If it does…
