Superliminal
Rarely in life are things as clear cut as they are in videogames; the protagonists in our lives often have more murky stains on their cloaks than those we steer with a controller, and real people’s intentions are much more open to interpretation than any side-quest-giving NPC. It’s all a matter of perspective on how…

Splatoon 3 Wishlist
With the 9th September 2022 freshly circled on our calendars as the day we’ll finally get our grubby tentacles on Splatoon 3, I got to thinking about my love for Nintendo’s squid-based shooter, and what I wanted from the upcoming instalment that was perhaps missing from Splatoon 2. I came up with the following five…

Souldiers
There was a lot of prep for us to do prior to attending the inaugural W.A.S.D. games event earlier this month, with one of the key items to check out all of the playable games on offer and shortlist what we wanted to get our hands on. And when we came across the trailer for…

Onde
I am not a religious person, or even an especially spiritual one, but I’ve often felt a deep connection to music that I feel comes close. There have been moments in my life where an album, a verse or even a single melody has struck a profound chord with me and helped shape who I…

What Lies in the Multiverse
Anyone who’s ever lost an argument by virtue of not having the quick wits to think of the perfect comeback until after the event will know all about parallel universes. They’re those places that we conjure up in the imaginations of the shower, where we level our quip at our opponent in pristine fashion and…

W.A.S.D. Video Game Event – London 2022
After two years of being stuck inside and only being able to cover games from afar we were ecstatic to be invited to the debut W.A.S.D. event in London! It was great being able to get some actual face time with developers and publishing staff and get to grips with some of the impressive games…

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 79 – 20/03/22 – 166 Days, 19 Minutes and 59 Seconds to go…
I didn’t expect a lot for Day 79, and that’s exactly what I got. Monty would be trapped in the room until almost midnight, so there wasn’t much time for anything other than setting my little buddy free… Monty cut a pretty sympathetic figured when I returned to him; huddled in the fetal position, head…

The Cruel King and the Great Hero
Almost everybody has a favourite childhood book. They come from a time when we’re still learning about the world and our imaginations are almost entirely unfettered by reality, and the characters and settings can make a huge impact on our development and interests. I was always partial to stories about monsters, or more specifically, dragons.…

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 78 – 19/03/22 – 167 Days, 17 Hours, 13 Minutes and 24 Seconds to go…
After a frustrating and fruitless two day search for the hidden door, I was running out of ideas on how to move forwards. I was all about to start retreading old ground (again) when a chance observation led me to exactly the clue I needed… now, could I unravel the mystery and get inside? I…

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 77 – 18/03/22 – 205 Days, 6 Hours, 40 Minutes and 36 Seconds to go…
After falling asleep at the wheel and not achieving much yesterday, save crossing a few places off my hit list for the hidden door, Day 77 was much of the same. Monty and I began to scour the kingdom from top to toe in search of that pesky secret portal… When I snatched up my…
