Stardew Valley mastermind Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has been hard at work on both his beloved 2016 farming sim and new game Haunted Chocolatier – a title he assures fans he is indeed “still working” on currently.Late last year, ConcernedApe revealed that he wants to “take a more ‘creative director’ role” on Stardew Valley 1.7, the farming gem’s upcoming update, so that he can “focus the vast majority” of his attention on Haunted Chocolatier. This word came around the same time he admitted the 1.7 update might delay his new cozy sim “a little,” but “not as much as you might…
“We want to put Runescape back on the map,” associate director of design Ryan Philpott says. But, reader, I need you to know the cost of this metaphorical cartography. Over the years, the Monty Python-infused medieval world of RuneScape has expanded in many directions. It’s gained new landmasses, professions, raids, and characters, but also many many many odder cosmetics. Some of them, like the delightful sharksuit, walk a distinctly non-medieval path. Philpott says these are a problem. The meanie.

There’s a new Marvel show out now. At first glance, Wonder Man might seem like a strange choice for the next step of the MCU. The character doesn’t have the sort of name recognition that previous series have relied on. He’s not an Avenger like Hawkeye or Wanda Maximoff. It doesn’t include a fan-favorite lead like Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, or Daredevil. Hell, there’s precious little in the way of actual superheroics in it. Instead, it’s a low-key comedy about two failed actors trying to make it in Hollywood.It’s also my favorite Marvel project since at least Spider-Man: No Way…

Do you know the cost of a mount these days?The comments section for a January 27 post on the Blizzard forums is hot with frustration now that community manager Linxy has explained Blizzard’s current stance on “in-game advertising, in part to bring our policies regarding non-traditional services (including ‘boosting’)…
Project: Gorgon, the old-school fantasy MMO that launched in Steam Early access back in 2018, finally has its big 1.0 update.As someone who cut his teeth on Ultima Online and EverQuest way back in the day, I’ve had a passing interest in Project: Gorgon for years. The game was conceived by husband-and-wife duo Eric Heimburg and Sandra Power, former lead developers on legacy MMOs like Asheron’s Call and EverQuest 1 and 2, but Power sadly passed away in 2025 following a three-year battle with cancer. Seeing Heimburg carry the torch and launch this ambitious and highly unique MMO into 1.0…
