I Regret Rewatching Game Of Thrones

I don’t think any moment in television has hit me harder than Jaime Lannister getting his hand chopped off before the cut to black. For a lot of people, it wouldn’t even rank in the top ten ofGame of Thronesshocking moments, let alone the entire canon of television.

Unfortunately, I’d argue that that direction is the game’s whole problem. We’re Living In Skate’s World Look, I’m excited to see Skate come back.

Is The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim Canon?

Tolkien crafted what could be considered one of the largest and most comprehensive worlds to ever grace fantasy. Of course, it’s not so comprehensive that others cannot take what has been made and craft their own creative interpretations of what happened. This is why, whenever a new piece of media based in Middle Earth comes out, people tend to question whether or not it’s actually canon to the history of Middle Earth....

Is The Sims Still Worth Playing in 2025?

Back in February 2000, I was a university student with a love of building and tycoon games. I’d spend my time erecting Greek, Egyptian and Roman cities, as well as my very own Sim City. At this point, the inhabitants of my digital worlds were mere pixels traveling along my carefully crafted roads, just going about their lives. Then The Sims came along and changed everything. For the first time, it felt like I could dive into the windows of those Sim City 3000 skyscrapers and see who was inside....
