Setting out to write for a gaming site, everyone’s got subjects they’d rather not deal with. I’ve got a friend who handles this conundrum by simply not writing anything at all, but I choose to just steer clear of subjects that may ruffle some feathers. However, it seems the time has ...

Ethan Gach — Fri, 10 May 2013 18:00:35 +0000

I’m Batman flinging batarangs at an assassin who’s got an automatic assault rifle in one arm and wields a Zweihander in the other. A few hours later I’m Wonder Woman trading blows with the Greek god of war before moving on to lock lassos with a version of myself from ...
