Part what I’ve been up to, part what the future holds. If you read my blog post from late last year titled “The Future of the Pretend Gamer,” then you know I promised two things; 1) I would be playing and reviewing the mainline Final Fantasy games starting with VI and ending with XV and … Continue reading The State of the Pretend Gamer

EA and the Live Service Craze
EA continues its march to make everything a live service. EA, the publisher best-known for making Star Wars games unpalatable, is at it again. Or, I should say, it’s CEO is at it again. In the company’s latest earnings call, CEO Andrew Wilson tried to explain why Anthem, Bioware’s latest game, did not do so … Continue reading EA and the Live Service Craze

Xbox @ E3 2019
Demonstrating potential. It is only April but I wanted to get a jump on all the E3 speculation. In case you missed the news, Sony won’t be attending E3 this year (for the first time ever). Nintendo will be doing their usual E3 Direct but won’t have a traditional show so that leaves Microsoft as … Continue reading Xbox @ E3 2019
