Here's a strange bug on the Doommaiden HS page. The battlecry text and explanation seems to be repeating very many times. I'm on mobile.

Sorry for the bad picture but i'm too lazy to retake it :)

What are you up to this month? Have any games in mind for the future? Let us know in the comments below!

I'm a little early, but January can't go away soon enough lol. Not gonna go into more detail than I already have: suffice to say, it sucked.

At any rate, in terms of games I'm currently looking to play, I've got two plates spinning: I bought Eternal Strands on a whim, and I'm currently downloading Marvel's Spider-Man 2 because as we've already established, I'm impulsive.

Eternal Strands is like Shadow of the Colossus meets Immortals: Fenyx Rising, but with some cool additions. You utilize Frost, Fire, and/or Gravity powers to overcome challenges, and the game is quite rewarding of creativity: you can make a dragon fall from the sky by freezing its wings, or create a gravity-pocket and set it off as you jump on it to launch yourself into the air. My favorite thing so far has been the crafting system, of all things: I usually don't care much to craft stuff, but Eternal Strands is nice enough to let you Reforge your items with better materials really easily, and nothing is lost. All of your used materials go right back to your inventory if you swap them out; it's really convenient. This is balanced by inventory-management while you're out in the field, but I'm okay with that - the challenge of the game would be snapped in half if you could just hoover up everything you wanted.

As for future stuff, most of the games I'm looking forward to come out in the late-March/April window. February is pretty lean - for me at least - although I do have my eye on Avowed. Never played a Monster Hunter game before, so while I am semi-intrigued by MH Wilds, I'll probably pass on it.

As the title suggests, let's talk about what we got from our packs and any decks that might be percolating in one's mind! 🧐

I swear there's something hidden behind the packs wherein the game punishes you for strip-mining a particular one. Eventually I stop getting anything but the lowest-quality cards...until I switch off, then suddenly we're cool again. I want the Garchomp set so I focused on the Palkia pack, but started getting junk; jumped over to Dialga, and was immediately rewarded with an Immersive Dialga EX lol.

How about you - open anything cool? Manage to nab the particular card(s) you want? Let us know in the comments below!

What are you up to this month? Have any games in mind for the future? Let us know in the comments below!

It's a new year, if you didn't notice, which means it's time to get excited about all the games that might/will come out in 2025. My list includes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Lunar Remastered Collection, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and more. It's gonna be a packed year, for sure! Of course, we don't yet know when they will come out, so in the more immediate future I have the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 port to Steam as my next-closest game to be interested in.

Currently, I am going back-and-forth between Path of Exile 2 and my modded run of Baldur's Gate III. I bought a Horipad Steam Controller from Amazon - although I'm still waiting for it to arrive - and with that fancy new device I'll have everything I need to play (& review!) games...except maybe a better computer lol. I've got my Switch, my PlayStation 5 as backup, a PC that can run Steam, a Steam Deck, and now the controller.

The Horipad is supposed to have programmable buttons, so it damn well better be able to take screenshots with the push of a button! I'll be really annoyed otherwise: pressing F12 on a Keyboard + Mouse setup is really hard mid-gameplay, and pulling screenshots off the Steam Deck can be annoying. I hope the controller is the perfect middle-ground option.

I'm hoping to review even more games this year; new ones, of course, but also some older titles via our "Timely Reviews" line. It irked me a little that my "favorite games of 2024" article was literally just the ones I reviewed lol - I need more! I am also hoping to do a light bit of game-streaming: not such that you can see my face or hear my voice, per se, but just dipping my toes in the water while I play games with my sister in the passenger seat (like when we were kids).

I was thinking of doing something different in the early parts of 2025, and ask for opinions as-to which game I should review next! It could be any title, I suppose, but if it happens to coincide with my backlog, even better lol.

As it stands, I have a few Timely Reviews I want to work on eventually:

• Lies of P
  • Action Soulslike, dark retelling of the tale of Pinocchio.
  • Should be getting a DLC sometime in the first quarter of this year.
• Sea of Stars
  • Indie RPG of the classic/"old school" variety.
  • Played a little; also has an expansion coming out soonish.
• We 💜 Katamari Reroll
  • Goofy Japanese title where you roll up items/people into an ever-growing ball.
  • I don't believe I've played the sequel, but the original was super fun.
• Fallout 4
  • Western First-Person Sci-fi RPG.
  • I got sidetracked from doing it in time for the Fallout show on Amazon; what better time than before season 2?
• Black Myth: Wukong
  • Action Soulslike, but don't let the developers see me call it that.
  • I'm on Chapter 3, but became overwhelmed by stress (not from the game; just life in general). I want to finish it someday.
• Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
  • Action RPG, fighting the gods in the age of gunpowder. 
  • Played for about 5 hours but at the time it ran poorly; decided to wait for a patch yet never went back.

Let me know if any of these tickle your fancy, or suggest something else if you'd like! 🙂

Hey there fellow HearthStone enthusiasts,

I recently edited the original post for timely need, as the last HS patch brought us new achievements in the form of Hero Portrait awarded for completing 1000 ranked victories. New Hero Portraits means new milestones and new achievements ; is an other chapter of The Grind just started ?

I was wondering how far are you guys in the completion of the 9 golden hero portraits (x/500 and x/1000 ranked victory)? Some of you may already have complete all of them and beyond, some of you may just get started or picking up on a single class and some may be awaiting for the right meta to play a certain class. What class are you tackling? Or alternatively, why you couldn't careless about ever achieving it? Or even, which one was your first golden hero? Let me know in the comment down bellow.

I myself went full circle by completing the 500 with Druid & Priest, summer 2017.
My go-to class always been Warlock - which was my 1st golden hero. Rocking well over a 1000 win with it ...
Receiving those new portraits made me want to play those classes I've already complete a thousand wins with, but also made me regain some motivation in playing classes I have left underplayed since the golden completion. I'm looking forward earning Mage and Shaman skin.
My inner-completionist isn't too thrilled about that Hunter skin but knows ... 

May your holidays be full of cheer and drama-free! And of course, hopefully you get all the games you wished for hehe

🎄 💚🎄

My family's doin' a Secret Santa this year, mostly because I can't afford gifts for 14 people 😕 Got my cousin the hardcover versions for one of her favorite book series; she can be difficult sometimes, but I think I nailed it! Also bought some "Monster Balls" from our merch store: a Haunter for me, an Eevee for my aforementioned cousin, a Lucario for her little sister, and Mega Charizard X for my sister.

What are your plans for the holidays? Get anything cool for Christmas/Insert Holiday Here? Let us know in the comments below!

What are you up to this month? Have any games in mind for the future? Let us know in the comments below!

I bought nothing from the Steam Autumn Sale, which is a good thing. That said, I've been a bad girl and continue to buy stuff I shouldn't with funds I barely have, like board games and stuff D: Next up on the docket is Marvel Rivals, which I assume will cost money: they did a survey and the players overwhelmingly voted for all present and future characters to remain free and open access, so naturally they've got to get the $$$ somewhere lol.

Beyond that, I'm gonna try and make a better effort to clear out my backlog and conserve my funds; first up is Baldur's Gate III, Round 3. Mods should hopefully help spice up the experience and keep me engaged long enough to actually finish it this time!

Share your pack openings for the latest expansion and tell us your plans for your new cards.

Out of Games doesn't need to be specifically about video games! haha. Tell me about some of your favorite board games, or tabletop experiences like Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowrun, etc. I'm always in the market for more!

My family has a game night we do each Friday: there are five of us, and it's a struggle to find ones that can successfully field five players. Four appears to be the magic number, much to our dismay. Still, we've found some, like Talisman, Settlers of Catan, and Wingspan. We've even adapted some games that could theoretically run with more than four without trouble, like the Firefly board game. We also have a fair number of cooperative games, to curb our bloodlus...I mean "competitive natures". We had to stop playing certain games like Munchkin because people get too upset :/

Unfortunately, when a game lacks an expansion or setup for a fifth player, we lose out on what could be a fun experience. The Horizon: Zero Dawn board game has really nice, detailed miniatures of the robots...but all the expansions add more robots, not more players. I went out of my way to buy the Kickstarter pieces to the "Borderlands: Mr. Torgue's Arena of Badassery" game on Ebay - because I absolutely love Borderlands - and despite now having like 25 playable characters, the rules are still only balanced for four people. It all sits in a tote in my room, collecting dust alongside my Bunkers & Badasses tabletop stuff :(

Segueing into tabletop games, I really enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons with my dad and his friends...but it doesn't like me lol. I am terrible at rolling favorably, and I don't care to roleplay my characters that much. We're there to play a game, not be actors! I bought a Bunkers & Badasses set - the Borderlands equivalent - but I don't have anyone to play that with, so I guess my campaign idea will remain just a Word document forever. My dad is currently creating his own tabletop rulebook/setting with the intent to publish it, so that's cool.
