Being addicted to a video game finally paid off. I'm excited to announce that the Helldivers board game from Steamforged Games is a design that I worked on with Derek Funkhouser and the SFG team over the past year. For Super Earth!

Dispatch is Aaron Paul's 2nd best role to date. He's so friggin' good in it. In a different world, this would have also been an incredible TV show.

This admin continues to prove it has zero media literacy by co-opting Halo imagery. The series is literally about fighting a xenophobic religious cult trying to Make The Galaxy Great Again and accidentally releasing the apocalypse (The Flood) instead.

The writing and voice performances in Dispatch are top-notch, and I enjoy the sim aspect of dispatching heroes, but the forced episodic deployment schedule has me baffled. I just want to play the game!

Hades II will ultimately prove to be the deeper experience, but the kids and I have enjoyed the heck out of Absolum. Couch co-op goes a long way, but it still won't completely replace Castle Crashers without a 4-player mode.

I was unfamiliar with this cast outside of Ben Starr, but they did an incredible job. Now that I'm in Chapter 2, I'm really enjoying the way Gaffgarion and Agrias play off each other. #FinalFantasyTactics

Just remember that friendly fire still gives Exp and JP, which is useful early or when you already have the battle under control and are just farming/waiting for drops. Early skills like Focus and Tailwind that are easily spammable are also your friend for JP farming. #FinalFantasyTactics
