Ood Bnar

A hunt for a datacron in Bioware’s SWTOR reveals the Neti Jedi Master Ood Banar in his tree form. I remembered this guy’s name from the Dark Horse Tales of Jedi comic book series, and then his appearance from the…

I suck as a Pokémon trainer in Niantic’s Pokémon GO. For today’s Team Rocket takeover of all PokéStops from 4 until 5 pm local time, my Pokémon were too underpowered to put a stop to the evil doings of Rocket…

Sun rising in the Sagolli Desert.

After nearly six years since Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn entered Early Access on August 24, 2013, I finally completed the Main Scenario Quests for the 2.0 content. Operation Archon was a success, the Ultima Weapon has been destroyed,…

Having grown a bit bored with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, I decided to detach the right Joy-Con and see what all that flinging was about. Needless to say, after a few minutes, I felt confirmed in my judgment that the…

After starting and stopping a few times, I’m finally putting in the time to progress through Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! The game is stupid easy. Like, it’s bad enough you don’t even battle wild Pokémon and just lob Poké Balls…

Hyrule Warriors treasure chest

Hack and slash games aren’t something I’m normally interested in, but The Legend of Zelda-themed Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition from Koei Tecmo developers Omega Force and Team Ninja for Nintendo Switch was something I thought I’d try if for no…
