Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013)
So, I've reviewed a handful of Call of Duty titles by now, and I've had a great time doing it. World at War was a dark, grim portrayal of WWII that was really good. Black Ops was a Cold War thrill and the Modern Warfare trilogy was an action-movie extravaganza.

Tarkov’s 2026 Roadmap is Kind of Meager
(Intro) The 1.0 release of Tarkov has been with us since November, and since its launch, things have felt rather quiet from the end of BSG. For a while, there wasn’t a ton of communication from them about what to expect in 2026 for the game in terms of updates, patches, and what to expect next. As if right on queue, last week BSG released a roadmap for the year showcasing what we can look forward to. And to be brutally honest, upon initially looking at it, there isn’t a ton going on. Or at least, not as much as I and maybe others were expecting. There are a myriad of reasons why this might be the case which we’ll get into later, but for now, I figured even though I am late to this party, it’s still worth quickly going over the roadmap and seeing what’s coming that is exciting, concerning and everything else in between. This first year after the full release will be very important for Tarkov; it could be a make or break for the game as a whole.

How Gaming and Pop Culture Shape Our World and Ourselves
In an era dominated by digital landscapes and shared narratives, gaming and pop culture have transcended mere entertainment to become powerful forces shaping our identities, communities, and even our understanding of the world. From the intricate lore of a sprawling RPG to the layered themes of a blockbuster film, these mediums offer more than just escapism; they provide platforms for connection, critical thinking, and profound emotional experiences.

Who is Tarkov Even For Anymore?
(Intro) Tarkov has always been seen as a hardcore game. Its entire identity has been defined by this idea that EFT was always trying to break the mold and go places not many other games have gone before. Losing your kit if you get taken out by AI or other players, this emphasis on complexity and trying to create a grounded and immersive experience, while also creating a gameplay loop with some of the highest highs and lowest lows imaginable. And yet, here we are, after the official launch of the game, and things have never felt more polarizing than ever. So much back and forth over who this game is even designed for; with elements for both casual and hardcore players existing in the same space. For years, this conversation about the casual market slowly being weeded out was always around anytime BSG introduced a change or new mechanics that just made the game harder. So, casuals felt like they were being pushed out. And then on the other hand, the endgame for Tarkov is some of the grindiest; most RNG induced experiences many have come to loathe. Even those who are dedicated to the cause and trying to complete as much of the game as they can. So, if Tarkov has or had points where it was trying to cater to both markets of players, at this point a genuine question I think is worth talking about: who is Tarkov even for at this point?

Tarkov’s First Official Cross-Over is Minimal but Cool
(Intro) The last thing I ever expected from Tarkov and especially BSG of all games and companies was a cross-over with not only another game, but one that took heavy inspiration from this property. And while it’s only some new event quests, just the fact that BSG was willing to work with another studio at an official capacity is really cool. And what I am talking about specifically is the cross over between Tarkov and Escape From Duckov, a fun smaller single player extraction shooter from a development team called Team Soda. As someone who watched a bunch of videos of people playing Duckov, it looks like a really solid entry for a single-player extraction game, which we need more of. So today, I kind of wanted to just quickly talk about the cross-over in Tarkov, how this maybe came to be, and what this could potentially mean for future crossovers with other titles and what this might mean for EFT going forward. Because BSG being cool with other studios and leaning on them for some new ideas and items being put into their own game will only benefit them in the long run if executed correctly.

Which Game has Better PvP? Tarkov? Or Arc Raiders?
(Intro) One of the most important components in any extraction shooter is the ability to fight other players. It’s what gives this genre the reputation of being a difficult and sometimes arduous experience. It all hinges on your ability to fend off whatever computer opponents the game throws at you, on top of being able to work around other players. Sometimes, you might be able to persuade someone with your voice that you don’t want to fight, but that isn’t always going to work. There are players specifically looking for combat, especially once they have gotten through a majority of the game’s content and are deep enough into it that losing gear isn’t a concern anymore. Which is a problem in itself, but regardless, the two big extraction games currently out right now are obviously Tarkov, and Arc Raiders, respectively. We may need to come back to this conversation once Marathon releases and if it’s good, include it and see where on the line it sits. But for now, I wanted to compare the two games’ PvP scenes. What the major differences are, where there are similarities and ask the question of is one game’s combat superior to the other. After playing both back-to-back, looking at the footage and just assessing what makes these games tick, the answer isn’t as black and white as you might expect.

Gaming is Lonely Sometimes
(Intro) Video games can be an exhilarating and collaborative experience for many. Whether it’s fighting a raid boss in an MMO, or working together as a team in an FPS to capture the final objective and win the game, as the rise of online games have grown within the last decade, so too has the desire to be around other players and be social with one another. It’s almost become a necessity for many games to have open worlds or hub areas where players can simply hang out, interact and get to know one another. And as amazing as those experiences can be, sometimes, even when you’re surrounded by like-minded people all working towards a similar goal, it can feel… lonely. Which feels like an odd statement to make, but I would imagine it’s a very similar feeling to being at a party or family gathering and just feeling alone. You try to socialize and be a part of the group, but it’s more comfortable to sit on the sidelines and watch things from afar. Maybe there isn’t anyone around your age, maybe you just are unfamiliar with your extended family because there are so many of them, these feelings can really be for any reason. I could just be projecting a lot of my own personal insecurities right now, but sometimes, even in games where there are players as far as the eye can see, gaming can feel lonely. At least, to me.

Behind Every Game Are People
Today, everyone wants to express their opinion. And while it shouldn’t be questionable that everyone should have the freedom to express their thoughts, I can’t help but wonder: are people mistaking opinions for hatred and bluntness? This goes a long way for gamers and game developers alike.
