I reviewed Octopath Traveler 0! It's an RPG for the sickos, the ones who wanna dump 100 hours into something. It's got some pacing problems, but the final act of that game is truly some incredible stuff.

OK EVERYONE IT IS THE TIME. Hit me with the best weird little guy in video games this year. I've got a solid list, but if there's one you want to see maybe make the most definitive list on the internet, now's your time to shine

The Demonschool inspired cocktail recipe video has been reshot and it's up now. There's also a version on tiktok as well if that's your thing.
