I discovered that with my…
Doom Eternal — my lucky shot at a Cacodemon
March 17, 2020
Doom Eternal has a lot of great moments, and nothing feels better than getting a lucky shot at a demon. I had my chance when I switched from an ineffective plasma gun to a shotgun in this scene.

The game hit 6 million players in its first 24 hours on the PC and consoles. That’s a pretty good…
Chrono Trigger turned 25 on March 11, which has had me thinking about this classic Japanese role-playing game (whenever I’m not spending my time freaking out about the current worldwide pandemic, anyway).
I don’t know many JRPG fans who wouldn’t put Chrono Trigger in their top 5. It was a collaboration between Square and Enix back before they were one company. This resulted in many of the…
