Bioshock Infinite’s OST Cockup, And How You Can Fix It
Caitlin Oram | Monday, May 20, 2013 
First, I want to make it clear that the Bioshock Infinite OST is good, and as I’ve said before, I love the OSTs composer Garry Schyman so very much. However, Irrational Games has made a mistake.
As you likely noticed during your playthrough of the game, there are a number of …

Gray Hair: Character Design for Escapism
Caitlin Oram | Friday, April 26, 2013 
I take great care when I create characters. These are people I’ll grow with, learn with, and escape into for a long time, so it’s not a process I take lightly. I used to think that characters I built were meant to be me, projected into the game, but something …
Chaining Together the Player and Character
Caitlin Oram | Monday, April 15, 2013 
With our current level of technology, games are limited; players have to follow the path laid out for them in order to progress the plot and finish the game. Sometimes it’s nice that you can just play without thinking about your character and their motivations, but sometimes this breaks your …
Neverwinter: Previewing an MMO I’d Actually Play
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, March 19, 2013 
I stay away from MMORPGs because I get easily addicted with stupid marketing ploys, and often I find the ploys and the games that stoop to them simply frustrating. I have no desire to try to cut down the largest tree in the forest with a herring; it’d take forever …
Mark of the Ninja OST: The End Song is Offputting
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, March 12, 2013 
This post is kinda cheaty; to be blunt, there isn’t a lot to the Mark of the Ninja OST; they’ve only posted two songs (both below). During gameplay, you get ambiance that ranges from ominous violin and gong tones to angry taiko-sounding drums and frantic violins. During the cutscenes, for …

Throughout the weekend, Stephen and Caitlin will be livestreaming whenever they …
Spiral Knights OST: Adorably Awesome
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, March 5, 2013 
Recently I’ve been going through my old games, and I picked up Spiral Knights, a free-to-play MMO from Three Rings (yeah, the guys who do Puzzle Pirates). I was first attracted to the game b/c the artist from one of my favourite comics was the game’s lead artist, but once …
Guns of Icarus Online OST
Caitlin Oram | Tuesday, February 26, 2013 
As you can probably guess, I’ve been playing a lot of Guns of Icarus Online recently, and I think it’s time I talk about the soundtrack. It’s a topic I’ve rather avoided because honestly, aside from the intro title and the battle music, I’ve never really noticed the music. I’m …
