I'm of Two Minds: The Possesed Warlock
Kellard was in a jam. A dozen soldiers were headed in his direction. I told you your party would desert you. He exhaled. “Fine, but can you help me get out of this mess?” If I have to. I shall grant you my strength and assistance. Within moments, a demonic formed peeled off of Kellard, becoming a winged demon. A mere moment after, Kellard’s skin became darker as he became stronger, tougher, faster. Between the two, the soldiers didn’t last a minute. When the last soldier hit he ground, the demon faded and Kellard’s skin returned to normal. However, he was spent; he could barely move.

My Own Personal History Of Computer Gaming
I am going to start this with the reason why I could never learn to ride a motorcycle as a teenager. I learned to drive, but when I got on a full-blown motorcycle, there were so many things to remember and control that I usually ended up just falling off. I could ride a moped because everything was on the handlebars, and a speedway bike was brilliant, just an accelerator and no brakes, perfectly simple, but a full-blown motorcycle, I just couldn’t cut it.

Lessons from the Golf Course: Discipline, Focus, and the Art of Performance
Golf was never meant to teach me anything about performance. At first, it was simply a way to slow down. A walk across wide green space, the sound of a clean strike, the quiet challenge of sending a small white ball toward a distant target.

The Family Totem: A Warlock Who is All About Honor Above Glory
Junpei had told Lord Ona that he would defend the gate, ensuring that no one would enter. Neko lay nearby, purring as usual, but then she woke up, ready for action. He asked the cat to walk over to where the attackers would come through; the cat grudgingly did so. He focused inwardly, becoming inspired and ready for battle. A demon entered the area before the gate; Junpei laughed at the illusion. Three samurai entered the area; he grinned at the challenge. They readied their bows. He had Neko grapple the leg of one of the samurai and concentrated for a moment. The samurai felt the chill of death as his life force ebbed from his chill touch. They charged. He summoned a glowing sword in front of him. The samurai sliced at him. Two of them hit. The glowing sword sliced one down. He himself sliced at another samurai.

Diablo 4 Season 12 Fast Leveling Guide for All Classes
Reaching level 60 quickly in Diablo 4 Season 12 is mostly about keeping your momentum going and making good use of the seasonal systems like kill streaks and Helltides. If you stay efficient and avoid unnecessary downtime, it’s very possible to reach the level 60 in under three or four hours. A lot of that comes down to starting with a build that clears quickly and keeps you moving, while taking advantage of the boosted experience from events and seasonal bonuses.

I See Nothing But Dead People: The Ghostspeaker Wizard Sublcass
Xubachithl looked at the restrained wizard in front of him as he completed the ritual. The mage had secured his defenses with his physical presence; his body was his passkey. In moments, he would wear the mage’s skin as his own while the mage’s soul was trapped in the jar before him; the mage’s bastion would be his. Undead swarmed around them, the mage’s servants trying to rescue him, but as long as they were within the circle, he was safe. He had already animated some zombies to act as a distraction, but they were long gone.

Knights of the Old Republic II
A long time ago, on a writing platform far, far away, I wrote a review for Knights of the Old Republic. It was part of my Star Wars content for May 2024. My final verdict on that one was that it was great fun. It wasn't perfect, but I had a great time playing it. Now, it's time to look at the sequel - yes, there's a sequel.

Tarkov Just Changed the Game
(Intro) So, on March 4th, BSG released an update with the patch notes giving a general overview about changing their approach to how they handle weapon attachments and the stats associated with them. And with no specific examples in the notes to give players an idea of what they mean, I read those notes and didn’t think too much of them. That is, until the weekend where I went in and was just messing around with some weapon builds. And man, the changes across the board are way more noticeable than I initially was thinking they would be. There is a now a serious argument for running some of your weapons loud if you want the most recoil reduction possible. Suppressors are not just the solution to every problem. Alongside some pistol grips now providing a slight benefit to recoil reduction, and generally less ergonomics. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let's talk about the changes BSG have made to weapon attachments, because they really have fundamentally changed the game across the board. We now have to relearn how to make effective weapons. But the nice thing is that there is more freedom to how your weapons will look visually. Variety has always been the spice of life, and it’s nice to see Tarkov finally embrace that mantra in the game that kind of started it for weapon customization. But whether that means players are going to like the changes, that remains to be seen.

Tarkov is a Forever Game
(Intro) Tarkov is a product that has been around for a long time. People have been aware of this game since as early as 2016; and over the course of those ten years (God time flies these days), EFT has been iterated on and changed so much. The core gameplay loop has stayed largely the same, but with tons of new tools at our disposal, locations to explore, and reasons to stay around. Despite all the issues and problems this game has had over the years, many still enjoy the experience and have the desire to keep playing. And even though there have been people who aren’t interested anymore for one or more reasons, Tarkov has a dedicated and passionate group of people willing to keep playing even when the state of the game may not have been in the best state. Tarkov simply offers experiences and replay value that many games struggle to even scratch the surface at. Over the years, the ways in which an individual can boot up Tarkov and play the game has only grown as well. So today, I wanted to go over what makes Tarkov a potential forever game; how all the work they have done allows people to play this game as long as they have, and potentially much more into the future as long as the servers are still up and operational, of course. From content and expansions to different modes of play, Tarkov has sowed the seeds for this game to run a very long life; one even longer than it already has been. EFT could be a forever game for many, no matter how many times we have to start over.

Diablo 4 Season 12's Meaty Offerings: Unlock Shrines of Slaughter for Better Loot
Season 12 of Diablo IV adds a new mechanic that makes Helltide events much more chaotic and rewarding. A key part of this system is a consumable item called Meaty Offerings. These items can be used at Shrines of Slaughter that appear around Helltide zones, letting players trigger massive enemy spawns and turn a normal farming run into a fast-paced combat event.
