The Thedas Language Project: The Most Epic Fan Project Ever Undertaken
The world of Dragon Age is an absolutely fascinating one that's captured the imaginations of millions of gamers from all across the globe. The success of Dragon Age: Inquisition is a testament to that. Great stories set in a lively, awesome world are just some of the parts that make it a favorite for many fans of the RPG genre. The world itself has all these fun elements and different cultures that collide with each other that really gets the imagination of fans going. One particular fan has taken his imagination one step further by expanding on the language of the various peoples of Thedas. That's right, a single, amazing (and maybe a little insane) fan has taken it upon himself to take the bits and pieces of the languages shown in the games and expand them into actual semi-working languages. This entire endeavor is called The Thedas Language Project and it's as awesome as it is daunting.

Fallout 4: Keeping Your Castle Game Strong
Late last year I wrote about my undying love for Spectacle Island and the amount of space and freedom it gave you when it came to building a settlement you can be proud of. I'm still tinkering with how I want it to look but for now I've turned my attention to The Castle, the one place I neglected the most.

Fallout 4: My Obsession With Spectacle Island
When I found out that you could build settlements in Fallout 4, I knew that my days were numbered. I loved the idea and I took to it like water. A lot of my hours of gameplay were dedicated to scouring for resources, building bigger and better settlements, and learning from the last one so that the next settlement would be that much more fun to build and see grow. Out of all of them, my favorite has been the entirely isolated and extremely large playground that is Spectacle Island. But how do you even get there? Well, the fact of the matter is that it's kind of a bitch.

Why the NES from Nintendo is Still One of the Most Important Consoles Ever Made
Almost any gamer can look at the block outline of the NES controller and immediately recognize it. The simple looking controller is easily one of the most iconic symbols of gaming out there. Initially released in North America in 1985, this console arrived in the wake of the video game crash that followed before it. A lot of people were passing video games off as just another fad. The funny thing about the NES is that its impact on the gaming world rippled further out than anyone could have realized. For a lot of gamers, this was the start of their love affair with games and the source of a lot of solid inside jokes used in adulthood.

What Kind Of Licensed Disney Games Could We See Now That Infinity Is Officially Over?
Even though many developers have moved on to new studios and new projects after Disney Infinity was officially cancelled on May 10th this year, it doesn't negate the fact that Walt Disney has been in the business of video games for nearly 30 years and are constantly looking toward their future and all potential games. The cancellation of Disney Infinity was, needless to say, a shock to fans of Disney Interactive and their multiple projects. As the publishing and development branch of the beloved House of Mouse Disney Interactive had designed Disney Infinity to be a truly unique sandbox style game that allowed players to become nearly every Disney character imaginable from: Lightning McQueen to Mr. Incredible, Captain Jack Sparrow to Captain America, Stitch to Anakin Skywalker and oh so many more. Disney Infinity looked to carry the model of toys-to-life to heart, and in less than six months the game had three million starter packs sold. It looked destined for magnificent things, but then all future plans were cancelled.

Best Racing Video Games of All Time
If you're like me and just love speeding down the freeway without a care or concern for the law — all, of course, inside of a video game universe — then you're a driving gamer, a virtual gearhead, or the all-too-familiar arcade racer. Be that as it may, you still might not know which titles are better than others, or what classic games really changed the genre entirely.

Super Mario Run Has Been Announced, But Here's What I'm Actually Excited About
The iPhone launch event this week was pretty standard fare for the most part. At least that's what I got from the tweets my friends were shooting out. People were also foaming at the mouth about the headphones of the thing, but I didn't pay much attention. To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the iPhone since it first came out since I am, admittedly, an Android fanboy. I didn't expect to there to be anything for me to get hyped about. Boy, was I wrong. During the event, Shigeru Miyamoto came up on stage and I paid attention with wide eyes and a confused stare. Shigeru Miya-f*#king-moto!? What the heck was he doing at an Apple event? And then he made the announcement. Super Mario would be coming to iOS via the mobile game, Super Mario Run.

When Hype Isn't Enough: 10 Games That Fell Short
Sometimes a game carries so much hype that it's bound to hit its peak rather quickly and the only direction to go is down. Just look at what has recently happened to Pokemon Go; for about a month and a half it was the game to play and experience, but after recent updates gamers are screaming for refunds and fixes across the board.
