Grasshopper Manufacture just turned 20 years old, so this morning I gave Suda51 a copy of No More Gentleman and a birthday cake while I sang him a song. He seemed touched. Video of this once-in-a-lifetime event is coming soon, but in the me...

I'm very much looking forward to next month's State of Decay 2, but I know it'll only be a matter of time before the harsh realities of keeping people alive in a zombie-infested sandbox crash down on me. Painful losses are all a part of the...

Tabletop role-playing has survived all these years, through the advent of video games and the resurgence of board games starting in the 1990s. One reason it's still around is that it provides an experience those other media don't. It gives ...
