Dishonored was a game that I meticulously inched my way through, taking extreme care to not alert anyone of my presence. It was an exhilarating experience in a way. I was seconds from fucking up at any given time. Although I haven't p...
Just under three months to go until you have to put your backlogs on hold for a week to watch a cavalcade of insane and informative speed-runs. The next event will be held from January 8 through January 15, and with the schedule now finaliz...
