Life can be very strange, indeed. Introduction: Life Is Strange is about a student named Max Caulfield, whom recently has moved back to Oregon to a private High School for her final year, known as Blackwell Academy. The premise of the game is focused on the second week of October, 2013. The town that you will become familiar with - Arcadia Bay, a quiet and small but year beautiful and charming in it’s own way. The game will quickly give you a sense of just what exactly is happening in this small town closely related to Max’s journey. Atmosphere and Charm: As soon as I started initially, I was ready to bash the game for it’s graphics. I held my reservations and trotted forward, soon to begin and realize that the game contained more of a “style” that I needed to get used to. Granted playing on the PS4 I always expect better, I quickly overcame the concept. Now? I couldn’t get enough. Arcadia Bay truly has something captivating about it, that almost makes me want ...

Detention is a 2D “ambient horror game” that puts you in the shoes of Ray, a Taiwanese student during the 1960’s Marshal Law period.

Since the game is a HEAVY story based game, it is best to leave as much generalized for the viewer audience to be surprised. Story stays succulent and clear with lingering elements of “What could possibly happen next...

Last year on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, I wrote an article about Final Fantasy XIV and the toxic fanbase during that time. Today, I’m writing to you about how that has changed. I want to formally retract from last years article as well as stand by it and explain what some transitions have occurred over the last year+ since I had played. Let it be known that I have been subscribed to FFXIV for 2 years+ and through all the time, I would definitely say the community has grown, and here’s why: New Jobs: This one may be obvious for some of you but Square Enix has been bringing new jobs to the game with every expansion. This seems to be the the drawing point of the series, and I speculate that SE will continue to add many more jobs as future expansions are released. This kept the crowd coming back from ARR, which was necessary. Higher Level Cap: Ding! Level 70! The raise in the level cap has made it so that casual or toxic players have a harder time reaching end game. Although...
