I picked up Star Wars: Battlefront II this weekend. It was on sale because of May the 4th, though it looks like EA may be writing the game off as a loss and moving on. Which is a shame, because so far it looks like a stellar game. I had

My current game jam is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I got it a couple of years ago when I first got my PS4, and was excited to get into it back then, but after grinding through it, I hit a shelf point and set it aside. Since then, I’

Another search and destroy grind. I started in Times Square again, went through Clinton, Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, the Tenderloin, Flatiron, Gramercy, and Stuyvesant.

I finished the World Boss route I started this morning, and then went to the West Side Piers for a while to mess around. It got a little hairy in there, with all the insta-spawns, but I did find a few more phones. And I got another Caduceus. That’s

I found this map on Reddit, showing the locations of the Open World Bosses, named Elites on the Open World Map who you can farm every four or hours or so. I usually start a session running part of this to farm credits and mats. I used this route to

I've been thinking more about my "work/play" idea. I think it actually runs into the concept of "deep play," which I ran into recently in an article in The Guardian titled The meaning of life in a world without work. Deep play is
