Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms

HeyDaniko // October 3rd, 2022 It’s an extremely difficult thing to make a case for any idle game, as those who already play them know what they’re all about, whilst those you who don’t tend to see them as little more than games “that play themselves.” And whilst that categorisation certainly isn’t completely inaccurate, itContinue reading “Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms”

Speed or Savor: A Slow Burn with Valheim

Fvnctional // March 31st, 2021 I’m a little bit late to the Thunder party, but having read the excellent work of my teammates here, I decided it was time to stop sitting on ideas and start writing them.

In Retrospect: The Dragon Age Trilogy

HeyDaniko // November 9th, 2020 Dragon Age: Origins (2009)  I’ll preface this article by saying that despite being 11 years old at this point Dragon Age: Origins has aged remarkably well.
