The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Margrave held his sword in both hands. He was panting, and his face was a grimace of pain, but he stood as the last man on the practice field. Around him half a dozen others groaned, coughing, holding their ribs and clawing at their helms. A brass bell sounded, and Margrave lowered his blunted blade.

Do Tarkov’s Developers Understand Their Own Game?
(Intro) Do Tarkov’s developers, BSG, understand their own game? A rather loaded question, considering we are two months away from release, but it’s something that has been brewing in my head ever since we had the conversation about the vision of Tarkov and what they wanted the game to be in a perfect world, versus the reality of having constraints across the development cycle and not being able to execute on that vision for one reason or another. Over the course of EFTs life, there have been moments and patches that felt like they really got it; BSG understood the assignment and were actively working towards improving the game and getting us closer to that vision. And then there are other times and patches where we couldn’t have been further from that idea, and it all felt lost and hopeless for some time. This rather violent back and forth begs the question of at this point, with all the knowledge and experience BSG now has under their belt working on Tarkov, if they could start over and remake the game, how much different would it fare when compared to what we currently have. Would it be closer to their initial vision and mission statement for Tarkov? Or would the game be not much different than what we have right now? Let’s have a conversation about BSG and their understanding of Tarkov not only as a game that they are working on, but a product being sold to people who have been giving them feedback for almost a decade.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s New Mechanic Is a Love Letter to Every Missed Catch
Pokémon Legends: Z-A has solved a huge rage inducer! Oh, the sheer, unadulterated rage of accidentally knocking out a Legendary Pokémon after walking so far in the game! We’ve all been there, right? Staring at the screen, a single tear rolling down your cheek as your over-leveled starter lands a critical hit on that one-of-a-kind, shiny Articuno. The save file from an hour ago flashes before your eyes. It’s a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, a moment of silence for our fallen (and uncatchable) comrades.

UVA Football vs. Florida State
In the competitive landscape of the ACC, few matchups illustrate the conference's dynamic range quite like UVA football versus Florida State football. It's a game that pits a program steeped in tradition and aiming for consistency against a national powerhouse with championship-or-bust expectations. When the Virginia Cavaliers host the Florida State Seminoles, it's more than just a game; it's a measuring stick for one team and a potential trap game for the other.

Ravens Perfect for Druids in Diablo 4 Season 10. AI-Generated.
I’ve been playing Diablo 4 a lot this season, focusing on the Druid class, and I’ve discovered that Ravens are absolutely the best companions you can have right now. The big game-changer is the new Kilt of Blackwing unique pants. This piece really makes Ravens the centerpiece of the strongest Druid build in Season 10. It boosts the damage your Ravens deal and even gives you the chance to summon an extra Raven every time you use a shapeshifting or companion skill. That means more birds attacking your enemies nonstop, which is both fun and super effective.

How Long Does Tarkov Have After 1.0?
(Intro) With the full release of Tarkov on the horizon, we’ve been doing quite a lot of reflection on the game and its history as of late. Going over all the different essentially versions of the game as the years went on, all the ups and downs, and the current state of affairs right before release. But one thing we have not mentioned much is what happens after 1.0 goes out. We can see the goal post; it’s literally right there. But what happens after we cross it? Does the game just end development and BSG moves onto the next project? Do they keep a smaller crew on in case there are any huge game breaking bugs or glitches? Or do they keep supporting the game with additional content, DLCs and expansions? At this point, as much as I am curious about what the game looks like come November, I am arguably more curious what the game looks like three, six, twelve months after launch. So, let’s have a conversation about the hypothetical plans for Tarkov post launch, where it can go, what might realistically happen and what’s next for Battle State Games when they decide it’s time to finally cease production on this game.

The latest Nintendo Direct has sparked widespread discussion about the Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave Three Houses connection, giving fans a glimpse at the new strategy game and the growing speculation around its ties to the beloved earlier title.

'Medabots' Had Games!?
The 1999 anime Medabots is one of my all-time favorites. However, until recently, I hadn't played the games the anime was adapting. Around the time of its English broadcast, the only game I was aware of was Medabots: Metabee & Rokusho for Game Boy Advance. I was not too fond of this game when I was younger because the motion tweening used in its battle animations was stilted compared to the fluid animation featured in the anime. Unbeknownst to me, Medabots: Metabee & Rokusho was a remake of Medarot 2, so in other words, there were other games. Two decades later, I discovered that not only were there more games, but the Medabots fan community was in the process of translating them. Thankfully, most Medarot games are Game Boy titles with less off-putting battle animations.
