  • Lets strike back at the biased game media, review sites, and industry in general!

    I'm just a 2X year old who's fed up with the lies, favoritism, and bullshit in the industry and as long as this website will keep politics out of it and just focus on fair and unbiased coverage then I will continue to support it.

    I've been gaming for as long as I can remember and it's not nostalgia goggles when I say things were better back in the old days. I love all kinds of games from platformers, horror, and puzzle games. Though I really dislike sports, rhythm, and turn-based games. I like to write reviews for games that really impacted me whether it was negatively or positively so if you want a short blurt about some random game I just played then keep an eye out.

    I just want to repeat that I hope this website really takes off! Thanks and hope to see more of you soon!

    I think making something the way it should be and setting an example and defending that is better than 'striking back'. If you let people corner you into a revenge mentality, they run your life. Everything you do is a reaction to them. I prefer building something I want to build.

    If we "strike back" we are engaging in tribalism. The game journalists can beat each other up with their clubs and we can sit back, relax, and enjoy games while we laugh at their archaic ways.

    I feel you on that one with how games were better back in the old days. I interpret that as a time when game developers were making games because it was fun to, not because it was some job opportunity. They were 20-30 year-olds geeking out behind CRT displays making their vision come to life with the best tech at the time. Nowadays, the game market is watered down by massive companies who share no common vision. The only thing everyone remotely shares in vision is what money looks like coming their way.

    But there's a lot of amazing things being done these days. Breath of the Wild was what got me back into gaming. Nintendo, a company who knew nothing about competing with other open-world games completely destroyed what we thought we wanted from a game and raised the bar out of nowhere.

    Welcome!
