The former BioWare producer seems to've hit a point where he's happy to simply divulge exactly what (he believes) went wrong with BioWare, the dozen little disasters that led to the, at the moment, death of Dragon Age.In the video below (starting at around 39 minutes), Darrah says he believes...
As part of a four-day hero trial, Overwatch 2's latest hero, Wuyang, is available for testing ahead of his full debut in Season 18. After learning about his (totally not magical) ability to harness water like he's straight out of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I jumped right in and put him to the test.Given the comparatively small tank and support roster, it's always a good day when we see something...

While products like Spotify and Apple Music have dramatically undermined physical music sales, musicians—so Layden contends—at least have...
There was an era when my bedtime rituals were dominated by screentime—usually doomscrolling online or fighting for my life with my Steam Deck just inches from my face. It was hell on my eyes (and my sleep schedule), so I've slowly replaced those hours with books to wind down at night.
