Hey there Cubies! We've said this time and time again but this year has been an amazing year for RPGs.

It is great seeing all these designers wearing their inspiration on their sleeves. And these games have...

Hey Cubies! Storytelling has so many different tools in its belt to captivate the audience. One of which is introspection. Where introspection is the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. There are different ways in which story tellers include this is their tales. By putting the viewer in the mind of the character, or even slower moments in which the scene can bre...

Hey Hi and Hello! The ways in which games are advertised and released have drastically changed in recent years. Many game devs will go into press conferences promising the world, or rather 18 quintillion worlds only to fall flat on day of release, like in the case of No Mans Sky. This obviously angers the gamers out there that fell for the hype. Some even take it so far as to send death threats to...

Hey there Cubies! Over the past few months there have been some amazing massive open world games released.  Like Starfield, Tears Of The Kingdom and Baulder's Gate 3. But are these games just large with no purpose? Should games be smaller on scale to allow for more elaborate content?  There is a real charm with smaller worlds in games. There are less waypoints and random spots where a player may j...

Hey there Cubies! This show has been discussing various indie titles for quite a while now. But with how much the industry has changed over the past decade we wanted to really dive in and ask what exactly is an indie title.

But not to just swoon over how cool their designs are, or what they added to their franchise but how some villains out there actually have a good point.

Hey there Cubies! While eco-terrorism is rather common place in other sources in media, it is not a typical plot point in games. Or if they are, they are almost. an after thought in the story. But there are a couple games out there that actually have in the forefront and make it an essential driving force for the characters, motivating their decisions as they move through the story. One that has d...

Hey there Cubies! As gamers get older the games they love need to age with them. Franchises have done this for years across multiple sources of media. And there is a common way. in which. games have tried to keep up with the times. That is by making a gritty. reboot of their franchise. Sometimes this goes great, and other times it tends to be too much of a departure from the original message of th...

Hey Cubies! We are back another week discussing a hot topic when it comes to games and media. There is a common thought that media can incite violence in an individual . That is can drive someone to do something they normally would not do. But what about something a little more specific. Can games make you more rebellious to authority? Can they make you question the government, or are they able to...

Hey there Cubies! Recently the question of "can game be isolating?" has been brought up to us. To many people video games can appear to be a way to keep someone from being social in any. way shape or form. We still have that stereotypical image in our mind of someone playing games in a dark basement all by themselves. But games have evolved to be a way for people from different walks of life to co...

Hey there Cubies! It's that time once again! Steam has opened its doors and has given us a large amount of demos to check out. This time around there was some big hitters and a lot of smaller indie games to pick from.
