If it weren’t for a few other amazing multiplayer games released this year, Heroes of the Storm may have never let me go. Blizzard almost had me. It’s no knock on the game, but I”m glad I’m free enough to enjoy some casual HotS. MOBAs are not my thing, they still terrify me from both… Continue reading
I had successfully stayed away from Hearthstone for months. No more late nights of trying to rise up in the ranks. No more dreams of card combos dancing through my head. “I’m finally clean,” I thought, “I’ve broken the chains of addiction.” And then I saw that a new expansion, Blackrock Mountain, had been released….

Ten years ago I was bitten hard by a Blizzard bug. The launch of World of Warcraft was the only time in my life where I dedicated most of my game time to a single game. It was glorious and I was content. After a couple of years, I rediscovered the truth that I am… Continue reading
Justin, Aaron, and Jordan hit record for the first time in months and deliver a few surprises, useless Valkyries, Zelda the Warrior, and dancing roguelikes.

I sat here contemplating the games I’ve been playing lately. My habits are normally more bouncy, treating each game as the next Second Coming. For the last month, I’ve sort of… plateaued. At the end of a night, I was either playing Pokemon Y or running yet another rift in Diablo III. They’ve sort of… Continue reading
Diablo 3 may be one of the most polarizing games to have been released in the last few years. On one side you have people who really enjoyed the third installment in the Diablo series and have poured hundreds of hours into the game. Standing on the opposite aisle are the individuals that absolutely hate… Continue reading
For a game that’s been in development for multiples seasons of the TV show it is based on, up until this week I still had no idea what the South Park: The Stick of Truth actually looked like in action. All the screenshots and videos just looked like cutscenes that could be confused for the… Continue reading
It’s not really saying much when Blizzard delays a game that it is working on, but when it comes to Project Titan, you have to wonder how many different games it has been since its initial concept if it is truly to be Blizzard’s next big thing. Oh well, see you in 2016 (more like… Continue reading
If you’ve been playing Diablo III and aren’t already pissed about every other aspect of the game, the recent “nerfing” of certain class skills probably added you to the very overcrowded boat full of people with Blizzard grievances. While the announcement of a future update may not mend the wounds suffered after seeing your Demon Hunter’s smoke screen become more… Continue reading
Diablo III. It’s arguably the biggest release of the year so far (notice I said arguably Mass Effect 3 fans). I have been pretty meh about the hype surrounding this game but I was never really that interested in the series as a whole. I remember watching friends play Diablo and Diablo II on many… Continue reading
A little more than a week after the Diablo 3 livestream launch day marathon, Justin, Ethan and Josh reconnect to see if their opinions of the game have changed for better or for worse. Server issues be damned, this is about the game! The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and… Continue reading
