The results are both horrifying and amusing all in one. Instead of ripping himself free from Lady Dimitrescu’s clutches a la Ethan, this rendition of…
Hironobu Sakaguchi, the original creator of Final Fantasy, is a huge fan of MMORPGs. In fact, according to a new interview with IGN, it was his love of EverQuest that led to the development of Final Fantasy 11 – the series’ first foray into online gaming. “My first [MMORPG] was EverQuest.

The minifigure in question is Luke Skywalker, albeit with a unique look – he’s chugging down on a carton of his favourite blue milk, and has a frothy-looking milk moustache.

The universal appeal of Chicory: A Colorful Tale and its nuanced take on mental health
“Could I learn to be a better me? I guess I’ll have to try.” So sings a magical paintbrush-wielding dog atop a mountain in a colouring book world as they come to terms with what it means to be a hero. Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a cute cartoon game on the surface about a (literal) underdog on a heroic quest.
