Pick up a Star War for minimal monies—that’s the motto of the day, friends. Why? Because apparently we can’t just corral all of the deals specifically onto May the 4th anymore. I’m not complaining, of course, you can feed me cheap games wrapped in bad wordplay 365 days of the year. Especially if it has sweet lightsaber action in it!

In retro news, I’ve made a bloody big cake with a 22 on it for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. My core launch memory of playing this seminal RPG was one of awe and questions. Like, by the Nine, does this horizon stretch out beyond Seyda Neen forever?! And what madness is this level of freedom where I can grind into being a magic bow packing, flying wizard demigod? Oh, how I miss pathfinding purely via directions gleaned from conversations (zero quest/compass markers). They just don’t make ’em like this anymore.
