Look, all I know is every time Commander Shepard is going anywhere, these guys are in the way, and I feel ridiculously guilty if I run them over in the Mako or the Hammerhead. Why are they on so many different planets? Why do they have weird little arms up front of their legs? Can they pronate or supinate those arms? How useful are they, can they grip tools? Are they sapient beings? What’s the deal with them? They’re apparently called Space Cows, but… I mean, that’s not a cow.

People eat these things. That feels like a mistake.’

Anyway, this is the Queue. I don’t think that’s what a cow should look like.

I love having more options when playing a game, and yet, I often find the options a bit too much.

If you've been running content from Shadowlands patch 9.1, specifically the Sanctum of Domination raid, then you're probably familiar with Shards of Domination are, and since it's tied so closely to patch 9.1, it doesn't come as a huge surprise that we bid them adieu in patch 9.2.

It's fair to say I have played the various games of the Mass Effect series multiple times.

I've said before that World of Warcraft should steal more ideas from the Diablo franchise, and the WoW Classic Season of Mastery has done exactly that, introducing the Soul of Iron buff/Tarnished Soul debuff system to make Hardcore play possible.

So you want to play Dungeons and Dragons -- or any tabletop RPG, really -- but you, like me, are broke and can't afford all those books, and a ton of dice, and minis, and maps, and even more dice.

The first time I realized I could just give players a level whenever I felt it was appropriate for the story, I almost fell over.

There are certain characters, settings, and properties that just feel tailor-made for a video game, especially when the industry is capable of turning major media into surprisingly good experiences like Guardians of the Galaxy — heck, even Oswald the Lucky Rabbit has gotten a game.

The subtitle to this post could just be and why is it Arcane because Arcane is one of, if not the, best video game tie-in stories I've ever seen Yes, even better than The Last Guardian, my previous favorite. The Last Guardian is one of the best novels ever set in a game world, which may not be a surprise as it features characters like Medivh and Khadgar and is written by Jeff Grubb, longtime AD&D designer and author of the Azure Bonds tie-in novel, which introduced Dragonbait the Saurial and yes I admit it I loved that book because it made dinosaur people canon in D&D.

Turns out the saying “I like the cut of X person’s jib” is an old nautical reference to sailing days, when you could identify the nationality of a ship by its jib sail. Anyway, I really like this Jenkins kid. He’s really a go getter, wants to make a difference, and he’s a native of Eden Prime, the planet we’re on. I bet he’s going to distinguish himself on this ‘find the beacon’ mission. He seems affable, eager to please, and a real go getter, and displays no awful space racism at all.
