For a lot of people, the announcement of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was their dream -- the old classic getting a graphical update and a story that feels fresh but still contains all the elements they expected from their childhood crush all grown up and dressed sharp.

A game's launch -- the period of time in which it first becomes available for widespread play -- is one of the most important for that game's overall reputation, and many factors can impact whether or not that crucial event goes smoothly.

Unlike most weeks, this week actually went by fairly quickly!

There are so many threats lurking in our homes, and only our brave puppers can keep us safe from the danger.

One of the fun things about Dungeons and Dragons is its plethora of amazingly weird cities that exist to foster adventures across the planes.

Honestly, one of the reasons I'm still playing Diablo 3 all these years later (it came out in 2012) is because it still has this perfect gameplay loop that sparks a mellow, relaxed feeling for me.

Every month we run a couple of Tavern Watch Dungeons and Dragons adventures, like Liz Harper's Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign, or our new Into The Weirs campaign, where Joe Perez and Matthew Rossi (that's me) run a game set in a unique world of our join creation.

One of the things that really makes it hard for me to play WoW Classic is the UI.

Critical Role, the popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign stream starring "a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors," celebrated its seventh anniversary last week, just one month after the successful conclusion of the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina, an animated retelling of part of the first campaign.

There must have been something in the air this week, because I could never quite get a grasp on what day it was.
