Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is the game that nobody talked about at E3 this year, and that’s a shame. Maybe it’s because they were intimidated by the name that doesn’t make any sense, but Rising is looking amazing, and I … Continue reading Metal Gear Rising: The Best E3 Game You Don’t Know About

Majestic fountains, where milk flows like water. Spools of yarn, as far as the eye can see. Low-flying birds, every direction you turn. And, above all, love. All of it eluded Seamus. That is, until the day he met Jaxie. Continue reading “Long Distance Relationships: The Ballad of Seamus and Jaxie”
