Video Games

Summer Game Fest, the video game industry's largest annual event (now that E3 is officially dead, cremated, and its ashes scattered to the breeze), starts this week, and the sheer volume of shows  happening over the week is enough to make any gamer salivate.

Guild Wars 2's newest expansion is Janthir Wilds, which is set on islands long guarded by the wizards of the Astral Ward, giving us zones littered with the ruins of the fabled Mursaat along with more recent inhabitants such as the White Mantle.

Patch 7 for the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3 is on the way, and with it long-anticipated mod support.

The next few weeks are going to be amazing for gamers: Summer Game Fest this weekend, Steam Next Fest (aka Demo Heaven) next week, and then the big Steam Summer Sale at the end of the month.

Summer Game Fest starts this week!

This is something of a calm week on the gaming front, but that doesn't mean there aren't new (and old) things to play.

I watch a lot of Stardew Valley videos.

This week is kind of a turbulent one IRL, so we're looking for something cozy and chill -- or ready to burn everything piece by piece, like a sadistic fourth grader with a magnifying glass aimed at an anthill.

I'm an ancient being, so I can understand that you may be expecting me to discuss how I played tic tac toe on my abacus or something, but for me I only really became a gamer when I first saw Baldur's Gate -- the original one.

Well, the games start coming and they don't stop coming.
