Okay, so PlayStation 5 pre-orders were kind of a mess. But amidst all the chaos, confusion, excitement, and anger that came with PS5 pre-orders, I learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Cue the sappy, moral-at-the-end-of-the-story music here if you want. But I...
I Played Dungeons & Dragons With My Wife And Our Four-Year-Old: This Is What I Learned

Dragon Quest VII Art and Yuji Horii Interview
Recently, I purchased an official Dragon Quest VII guidebook from Viz. It's completely in Japanese (which I can't read), but it did feature an interview with Yuji Horii at the beginning. Unlike a lot of posts, where I talk about my thoughts on the games, this is just...

Dragon Quest Tact Is Coming West And I Hope It Creates Its Own Spin-Off Series
I'm always insanely happy whenever we get new Dragon Quest games in the West. I was cautiously optimistic that Dragon Quest Tact, the new tactical mobile game, would eventually come West. It even made my list of Dragon Quest games that need Western releases (which you...
