4 out of 5 starsIf trying to figure out the ratios between gathering resources and item production, while setting up the most efficient system you can, is the most satisfying aspect of city-building games for you, then Banished has you covered. But if you want a game with tiered production, where you have to go through a tech path, then you might find Banished lacking. Though, given its scope, it is not something you should expect…
The Sims 32009
4 out of 5 starsAfter I have played the first 100 days in one of the originals Sims’s expansion packs, some new information started appear. It was those “did you know that” windows in the top-right corner of the screen, but this time rather than explain how different elements of the game work, it showed little pieces of text about the game makers. It was interesting to read about the people that started a series that would become…

All articlesPlaying Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for the first time
Feb 2, 2016
What is a better way to kick off a new year then to start playing a new game...that is 12 years old? Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a game I had my eye on for a very long time. It is one of those games you hear a lot about, even after their prime. Somehow this game stood the test time and is still mentioned form time to time in the video game community. It took the buzz around The Fo...
My thoughts after attending my first tournament
Oct 10, 2014
On Tuesday, September 30 I stumbled upon a post on liquidhearth.com about a Fireside Gathering being organized here, in Latvia. I was surprised to learn about it, since I given up hope to attend one. For those of you who don't know, Fireside Gatherings are community organized LAN events, where, by playing Hearthstone, you could get an exclusive card back. In other words, it is just an excuse to...
Observations as someone who is trying to climb the ladder
Jun 25, 2014
I started playing Hearthstone a few weeks before Blizzard moved it into the open beta, making it early December. Now it is the end of June, so that makes it about 6 and a half months playing this game. Now, I am no amazing player and I don't put it the countless hours a day into this game like other people tend to . But I also think I am not horrible and maybe can reach the oh-so-sweet legendar...
Ryan, you great and wonderful...
Jul 9, 2013
I have newer met the man, yet, as many have already said, I felt deep, deep sadness. You know, when Ryan left GameSpot, I did not think of it much. I was more sad about Vinny leaving than Ryan, but from the first minutes of the Arrow Pointing Down podcast he started to grow on me. And now here I am, a day after the announcement, and I still feel weird and not really wanting to believe that this...
An inteview with Drew Part 2: Sheep's Head
May 16, 2013
Some time ago, I did and interview with Drew about video production at Giant Bomb. Back then the interview was more of an accident, then something that was planned. But after watching the fantastic Iceland video, I had a good excuse to ask for another interview. We talked about the trip itself, used equipment and video production in general. Me: So, Iceland. How was it? Drew: Iceland was amazin...
