5 Tips for Playing Better Inquisitors
There are some who serve their gods with prayers. There are others who serve them with the crash of sword on shield. But there are a select few whose deeds often go unnoticed. Done in darkness, with subtlety and guile, these servants perform the tasks that would sully others. They slip on a wolf's skin and prowl at their deity's behest. They delve deep, pass judgment, and often act as executioners of divine will.

'Final Fantasy XI': A Dying Game?
I remember the day my father brought the game home. I remember sitting down on the floor, my eyes wide as he ran through East Ronfaure, unable to determine if that giant branch he was under was going to rise up from the ground, and kill him. I remember the gentle lull of the music, as I dozed off beside his chair, eyes fluttering, my mind reeling as it tried to prepare for the adventures that were yet to come.

Personal Review of 'God of War'
I just want to start off by saying that this game is one of the best, if not the best story game I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Everything ranging from the little details of the world around you right down to the interaction between Kratos and his son is beyond flawless. The look and feel of this game is different from anything I've played before and here's why.

'Fallout 76's 'Multiplayer' Rumours Have Fans Scared
They tease for a reason. There’s a common practice in the video game market to begin discussion on your latest titles before the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) even begins—this, in turn, starts the hype train with plenty of coal in the metaphorical bunker. But hype isn’t the only objective, of course. This practice also makes sure any further involvement in E3 isn’t lost amongst the riff-raff of every other developer trying to circle jerk their latest attempt at making money. Not to say this is the only way to approach E3, but it seems to be the most effective strategy for a variety of video game publishers—EA, Activision, or Nintendo for example.

From Newbie to Average
Let's get this started off right. Hi! My name is Michelle and I am now a moderately average gamer. I started gaming when I was about ten with my first Nintendo 64 system, and moved my way up, though as fun as it was, I was never the compulsive gamer I tend to be now. That's okay though, I met a friend about a year ago (we will call him Roy), he knew nothing of gaming platforms or RPG or W.O.W. I had to explain to him that he was cool and it's more fun to learn while you play anyways. You discover more and look for the finite details game designers hope you find, like Easter eggs, more trophies, or even some inside jokes that you uncover. Like when I was ten I also had a PlayStation 1 and my favorite game was Spyro. Everything about that game I loved: the different levels, different worlds, and the monsters you battle. You can fly and you save people while collecting gemstones!! Who wouldn't think that's cool.

5 Tips for Playing Better Summoners
The conjurer's art is the folding of worlds. They can instantly traverse impossible distances with a step, and they can open doorways between the planes with the right words, and a circle of salt. There are some, though, whose mastery of calling creatures from the furthest planes is unsurpassed. Those who can call an army to their side with the wave of a hand, and who have formed an impossible bond with an outsider. Summoners are just as feared for the powers they can command as they are envied for them, however, if you're having trouble stretching into the boundless possibilities the class offers, here are some tips worth thinking about.

Five Tips For Playing Better Alchemists
Purveyors of dangerous knowledge and unusual experimentation, alchemists are just as prized for their discoveries as they are feared for them. Capable of astonishing feats and causing terrifying mutations, they often find a warm (or at least enthusiastic) welcome among those who can put their talents to use.

Struggles with Game Literacy in LARP
I forget that my hobbies are really niche a lot of the time. I am a LARPer (Live Action RolePlayer), particularly a Vampire and Werewolf LARPer. For those that don't know, there are lots of different types of LARP, especially ones that are different than the Tolkien-esque fantasy full combat LARPs you tend to see when it shows up in media. Our games use a really complicated system of rules and pre-established lore that are important to understanding what is going on in the game at all. In my decently big circle of friends, most of them LARP with me. If they don’t, they at least know enough about how it works and the story behind it to follow what I am saying.
