[E3 2014] Alien: Isolation Gets It Right, Is Scary

In a sense, the interactive entertainment based on the Alien universe have translated that universe quite well: some of them were solid and workmanlike, and some of them were complete train-wrecks – an almost-perfect parallel to the film series.  Some of the Alien games were mindless, idiotic action-fests with little in the way of subtlety or pathos,

[KingdomCon 2014] Get ready for a Drunk Quest!

Once there was a time when man was forced to subject himself to barbaric forms of drinking “games.”  Built on cruel and flimsy rules, these games revolved around punishment and uninspired concepts.  These games dared to call themselves names like “King’s Cup” when they’re more like stable boys.  These were the dark times. That is,
