Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: Startled Gasp

I don’t know why I can rewatch the opening cinematic for Diablo 4 and catch new things I love every time. Small things, like the frustrated sigh and startled gasp captions when your character finds their no longer alive horse with its innards outer.

This is the Queue. Torment 1 wasn’t that hard to unlock, but I’m not looking forward to Torment 2.


Launching April 23! Mike Morhaime’s Dreamhaven has a potential cozy hit on its hands with Sunderfolk, the cutest freaking Tactical RPG I have ever seen

Sunderfolk is the first game from former Blizzard head honcho Mike Morhaime's Dreamhaven Studios, and it's intended to be "a turn-based tactical RPG adventure for one to four players that's tailored for a deeply engaging couch co-op experience." However, it also reminds me a lot of games like Wildermyth and TTRPGs like Pugmire, Wanderhome, or even the tabletop RPG adaptation of the board game ROOT that Magpie Games is working on.
