DMC: An Early Observation
I’ve never gotten the Virgil craze in DMC. But damn if he doesn’t, at least, look like a smooth ass pimp in the reboot.

Doing Good with Gaming
I’ve been watching the SDA Charity Marathons almost all day. Recent studies show… video game speedruns help prevent cancer.

First Impressions of RE6 Look Good
Played as much as life would allow these last few days. How did this game get such negative (polarized) reviews? I can’t help but feel some industry politics are at play here. Full Review incoming.
