Real Talk At A Dinner Party For The Sims

This had all the makings of a memorable dinner party. Good friends, good food, some wine…if only these were real people, and not Sims.

Eastshade is so pretty that I want to paint it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing in the game.

Overwatch‘s New Progression System Is A Big Step In The Right Direction

Overwatch is back! And in case you were worried, no, Blizzard didn’t ruin it. Overwatch is, broadly speaking, very good—and has been since its first closed beta late last year.
