Grotesque, Gauche, Glorious; A Review of Krampus Kills
I grew up playing video games from the '80s, which is unusual when you consider I was born in '93, but I have my uncle to thank for that. An OG game and tech guy, he had it all; stacks of gaming magazines, retro consoles, and the patience to introduce me to a hobby that still brings me joy.

Lorelei panted as she fell through the gateway between worlds. She stumbled, gasping, looking over her shoulder through the half-rotted doorframe leaning against the alley wall. Through the splintered, rotting frame she saw an overgrown world of vibrant green, the branches and vines doing their best to imitate a cityscape. The illusion fell away the further past the door one went, though, and beyond the skeleton of a bush that looked like an Oldsmobile, and a line of trees with vines stretched between them in imitation of telephone poles, there was only the dark, angry green of the Hedge. The branches waved, and something roared as it came closer.

Miss Bishop leaned back in her chair, and eyed the man who had come into her office before locking the door behind him. He had the lean, ropy musculature of a serpent beneath his cheap suit, and the dead eyes of a shark. She could see where he was packing a heater on his hip, and she had no doubt he was good with it. Good enough to do the job he was usually hired to do, at least.

The only good thing about Silent Hill: The Short Message is that it is free on PS5. I even like some of the visuals. But one question still ruminates in my brain:
Tarkov's Arena is Still Problematic (And Might Always Be)
Arena recently got a relatively large update that also coincided with a wipe; resetting everyone’s rank and preset progress back to pretty much zero. And with the update came some large changes to the presets, how you unlock them, and how they are divided up between themselves. While I won’t be going into the specific details of the patch notes, I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to read them yourself, after playing the new version of Arena, things don’t feel like they are headed in the right direction for some elements of this game mode. There are plenty of changes that were positive: removing grenades from pretty much all the classes and adding them to the world level. Allowing players to funnel their experience towards a specific preset they want to unlock and being able to use any preset within that respective class. Standardizing the medication each preset has so at the very least everyone has painkillers. These were important changes to help reign in the power of each preset. But the problems with Arena go deeper than just number tweaks and adjusting the equipment on offer for a particular present. As badly as I want Arena to be successful and a fun, faster-paced alternative to regular Tarkov, I fear as though that Tarkov was never truly meant to be an arena style shooter. Some people might immediately say, well no shit, of course the writing was on the wall. And you’re kind of right; but I had hopes deep down that BSG would find an interesting way to bring the slower more methodical gameplay of Tarkov to a faster paced environment. And so far, it doesn’t feel like they understand the root issues with trying to artificially speed up Tarkov. There’s still time to figure it out, and their roadmap is substantial enough that we might get there eventually, but let’s go over why fundamentally, Tarkov’s arena mode might never get where the player base as well as BSG hopes to get it.

Abdul QayyumPublished 2 days ago in Gamers'Medabots' Had Games?!
Medabots is one of my favorite anime of all time. However, until recently, I hadn't played the games the anime was adapting. Around the time of its English broadcast, the only game I was aware of was Medabots: Metabee & Rokusho for Game Boy Advance. As a kid, I refused to play it because of its heavy use of motion tweening for battle animations. Unbeknownst to me, the original Japanese title of the game was Medarot 2 Core, so in other words, there were other games. Two decades later, I discovered that not only were there more games, but the Medabots fan community was in the process of translating them. Thankfully, most Medarot games are Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles with less off-putting battle animations.
