StarCraft II is about the most redneck-y a science fiction game about aliens can get and I kind of cringe-like how much that aspect of the game is embraced in SC II. In particular I enjoy the jukebox in the cantina, and the song "Zerg, A Shotgun and You" by Whiteboy James and the Blues... Continue Reading →
One of Those Moments – Morrigan and Flemeth
What happens when you put two accomplished and amazing actors like Claudia Black and Kate Mulgrew in the same cutscene? Sparks fly, that's what. I love both Morrigan and Flemeth, and this truly is one of my favorite moments in Inquisition. Morrigan spars with her mother, and Flemeth lets loose a monologue that makes me... Continue Reading →
One of Those Moments – Chopping wood with Kratos

One of those Moments – Architecture

It's about Hermopolis and Hatshepsut's temple in the Valley of the Kings. Hermopolis was one of the most beautiful locations along the Nile, and... Continue Reading →
One of those Moments – Headshotting with Shepard
Surprising absolutely no one, one of my favourite pieces of gameplay in Mass Effect 3 are the spectacular ways that I can remove the heads of the Reaper and Cerberus forces thrown my way. Head explosions. It's ghoulish I know, but it's also super satisfactory. I think one of the reasons I like these very... Continue Reading →
