Yesterday was my birthday and I decided that to celebrate it I was going to do as little as possible. Sometimes that’s all you really want — a day to sit back, spend time with your loved ones (in my case my wife Julian and our cats and dog) and do things like mess around in video games and just exist. It was a nice day.

And now we’re back, answering your questions and listening to Damageplan’s song Save Me, and wishing you all a happy Game Awards day.

I was looking at the nominations for The Game Awards this year and thinking about how good I thought Horizon Forbidden West was, and about how it was released in the same year as God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring so it's probably not going to win.

Sometimes you can blink and miss something pretty important.

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen is now available, bringing the world of Krynn to D&D 5e , a setting with almost four decades of lore and worldbuilding under its belt.

Dragonflight has had a lot of surprising moments so far, but in terms of most surprising, it's a toss up between some, well, two pretty big spoiler-y moments and the fluffy Tibetan Mastiff-like dragon-puppies that the Centaurs have.

A big chunk of the latest One D&D playtest gameplay changes are to the Aardling, Dragonborn, and Goliath, which are emphatically not Races -- because One D&D has also officially done away with the Race designation in favor of the Species label.

Having finally managed to get logged in and play some Dragonflight, one of my favorite things in the expansion so far is all the dialogue available while talking to NPCs, whether they be major figures like Wrathion or Alexstrasza or minor figures like the inn keeper at the embassy who will, if asked, explain to you why there are so many ruined buildings there.

The latest World of Warcraft expansion, the reasonably long-awaited Dragonflight, is now live.

A lot of things work differently in World of Warcraft Dragonflight: there's no borrowed power, no mission table, and no flying...

Okay, so I have been inundated with ads hyping Red Thursday all week up here in Ice Station Canada. Since I am an aspiring Canadian citizen, I felt like I should at least try and figure out what Red Thursday actually is, and so far I can report that I have absolutely no idea. Is it a marketing scam created by legendary Canadian retail chain Canadian Tire? Possibly! Is it a ghoulish play on when doctors finally decide to perform life saving surgeries in a capitalist hellscape? Also possibly!
