Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, an episodic look at the crew of the USS Enterprise set before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, has proved so popular that in April 2024, Paramount Plus renewed it for a fourth season while season 3 was still in production. But after laying off hundreds of employees in June 2025, the streaming service announced that SNW would be ending with an abridged...

Finishing this mission requires you to restore the power to the arcade, which unlocks a secret entrance to the castle. To do so, you’ll need to find a pair of keys that is hidden around the map, like you’ve already done...
Coming up with ideas is a funny thing: You never know when inspiration might strike, or what might stoke its embers. But more often than not, it’ll be something totally unexpected.

I welcomed the announcement of Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition like a text from an old partner who broke my heart: I haven’t forgotten, but I’m ready to forgive. When Neverwinter Nights 2 came out in 2006, I was excited. After getting my introduction to computer role-playing games with Baldur’s Gate 2, which is still the best game I’ve ever played, I eagerly jumped into the “next gen” game, Neverwinter...
Neverwinter Nights 2 is one of my favorite games—if you want to know why you should play it, I've got a separate write-up here. Even though NwN2 released in 2006 after the dawn of the Xbox 360, it's aged more poorly than many of its contemporaries and even predecessors, making it harder and harder to recommend over the years until now.I'm happy to say that Aspyr did a great job...

The U.S. government...
Certain opinions are so widespread, and so oft-repeated, that I kind of get tired of hearing them even when I share them. For instance, the notion that the version of Cyrodiil we got in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion was a bland, Tolkien-ised thing compared to the descriptions of the province we got in earlier games. I agree, but also I've read variations of that take so much over the...
