The 10 best Legends of Runeterra followers of all time

Legends of Runeterra’s most recent expansion, Beyond the Bandlewood, marks a near two-year period since the game launched its initial closed beta in October 2019. A lot has happened during that timeline, including the conclusion of the game’s first World Championship. With a short, yet notable competitive history, it’s a suitable time to look back at some of the greatest cards within the game. Followers are some of the integral units found in the game, since a deck can only have six champions. This means you’ll need to have a

Gen Con Indy 2021 Returns to Indianapolis, Drawing Over 35,000…

“This year’s Gen Con was a clear success for the City of Indianapolis,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett. INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) September 21, 2021 Gen Con, the largest and longest-running tabletop gaming convention in North America, returned to Indy this week for the first time since 2019, drawing a unique attendance of over 35,000 gaming fans to the Indiana Convention Center — about 50% of attendance in 2019 — for four days of gaming, shopping, cosplay, and great local food and entertainment. The convention generated an estimated $37 million in economic activity

Ashes of Creation Shows Incredible Promise, Even in an Early State – Hands-on Preview

Ashes of Creation is one of the few in-development MMORPGs that has caught my eye and held onto my curiosity over a long development period. I’m an old-school MMORPG player. My first foray into the genre was Ultima Online and I would eventually transition to Final Fantasy XI as my primary game of choice for over a decade. I’ve drifted into the more modern and popular MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV, and while that game’s fantastic visuals, writing, and story will always pull me in for a little while, it

The Legend of Heroes Trails From Zero, Trails to Azure, & Nayuta Announced for PS4, Switch, & PC For The West

Today Nihon Falcom and NIS America announced the localization of three games of the popular Trails JRPG series. That being said, it seems to be a rather long-term operation, as the first to be released will come in the fall of 2022, while the other two are all slated for 2023. Opening the dance will be what we have known for the longest time as The Legend of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki, which will be titled in English “Trials From Zero.” As mentioned above, it’ll come in fall 2022 for

E3 2021 wrap-up

E3 2021 kicked off with news about E3 2022. Kind of a funny way to start a show, as Mayor Eric Garcetti told the crowd, “we look forward to seeing you in-person, here in the City of Angels, in 2022.” Also a bit funny when the mayor’s video game show announcement has less confetti and Minions than his state-reopening speech, but that’s something for another post. It’s understandable, of course, that E3’s organizers led with that news. The 2021 show was, like so many other things over the past year-and-a-half,

E3 2021 catch up

If you’re like me, you spent the weekend longing for the mixed bag that is downtown Los Angeles during E3. I’ve got fond memories of fish tacos, The Last Bookstore, watching playoff basketball in garishly lit hotel lobbies and, of course, video game press conference after video game press conference. For a second year in a row, the show’s gone all virtual, owing to…well, you know, that pesky virus that has defined the past year and a half of our lives. Last year’s show was canceled altogether (though a handful

NieR Replicant (2021): How To Get Every Weapon

Weapons are more important than you might realize in NieR Replicant on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Weapons aren’t just ways to upgrades your power and deal more damage to enemies — they’re also integral to the story. If you want to see everything this game has to offer, you need to get all 30 weapons. All 30 weapons are required to get the final two endings of the game. The weapons appear in (basically) this order, and some weapons are only available in Part 1 and Part 2. Buy

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review – Baby’s First Farming Sim

Farming sims have always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Trying to explain to someone that tilling your land, sowing seeds, watering crops and tending to livestock is actually an incredibly compelling gameplay loop is a challenge. And yet, as Stardew Valley has shown us in recent years when done properly, farming sims can see you sink hundreds of hours into them in the space of just a few weeks. In Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, developer Marvelous Interactive has a charming farming sim, but
