Tarkov’s Quests are Overwhelming - At least to Me
(Intro) Tarkov has an insane number of quests for the player to complete. Even before the additional main story with all those new requirements to escape were added, the game had over two hundred quests of all different kinds where the player could interact with across all the maps in the game. And for the longest time, the preverbal carrot on the stick that was Tarkov’s progression was completing quests to unlock better gear at the traders. At least now, there is a true endgame to work towards that isn’t just completing everything, getting the Kappa container, or working through the available achievements in the game. Regardless of how you spend your time in EFT, this is very much a personal anecdote, but for years now I have struggled with the sheer volume of quests or tasks; whatever you want to call them and staying focused on any particular one goal. I find myself so overwhelmed sometimes with all the options at my disposal that I end up sitting at the menu, spending way too much time trying to figure out what I want to do, instead of just loading into raids and doing it. Maybe this is just a me thing; maybe there is someone else out there who feels the same way and this video can resonate with them, but if I feel completely overwhelmed by Tarkov’s tasks. Both the side quests we’ve been doing for years, and all the new story missions as well.

Resident Evil Requiem Story Mode.....
Resident Evil Requiem delivers one of the most emotional and atmospheric narratives in the franchise, and Capcom’s official trailer confirms that this entry will blend deep psychological storytelling with classic survival horror. Set thirty years after the destruction of Raccoon City, the game follows Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst whose life is unexpectedly pulled back into the horrors she thought she had escaped. Unlike previous protagonists such as Leon or Chris, Grace is not a combat veteran; she is analytical, meticulous, and haunted by the fragmented memories of a traumatic childhood. The official trailer reveals that Grace is assigned to investigate a series of unexplained deaths and violent incidents tied to a new biothreat, and the trail leads her back to a place with painful personal history — the Wrenwood Hotel, a location shown in the trailer as dark, abandoned, and filled with decayed remnants of past terror. The trailer hints strongly that Wrenwood is connected to Grace’s mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, whose tragic story appears in flashbacks that show Grace as a child trapped in panic, darkness, and chaos during what seems to be a horrifying outbreak inside the hotel. Capcom positions the story around Grace’s emotional struggle, forcing her to confront both the truth of her mother’s fate and the origins of her own trauma, making Requiem a more character-driven and vulnerable narrative compared to the action-focused approach of some past entries. The ruined remains of Raccoon City also appear in the official trailer, confirming that players will revisit iconic locations that still bear the scars of the missile strike that ended the city’s nightmare decades ago. Cratered streets, collapsed buildings, and a hauntingly silent police station all appear briefly, suggesting that Raccoon City may hold secrets tied to the new viral crisis. Throughout the trailer, Grace is shown navigating claustrophobic environments with minimal equipment, reinforcing that Requiem returns to classic survival horror: limited resources, high tension, and constant vulnerability. The enemies revealed in the footage appear twisted and aggressive, combining physical grotesqueness with psychological horror themes designed to blur the line between memory and reality. One of the biggest confirmations in the official reveal is the ability for players to switch freely between first-person and third-person perspectives, marking a first for a mainline Resident Evil title. This mechanic directly supports the story’s emotional tone — first-person heightens immersion and fear during Grace’s most intense moments, while third-person gives a cinematic view during exploration and dramatic sequences. This dual perspective allows Capcom to emphasize both personal horror and large-scale storytelling. The narrative structure implied by the trailer suggests a blend of present-day investigation and recurring flashbacks, where Grace slowly uncovers what truly happened in Wrenwood and how her mother became entangled in events connected to new viral experimentation. The music and pacing of the trailer also hint at a slow-burn psychological approach, with moments of silence, distorted audio, and emotional distress used to build tension. While Capcom has not revealed major plot twists, the official story positioning makes it clear that the emotional heart of Requiem lies in Grace’s journey from a desk-bound analyst to a survivor forced to face the deepest truths of her past. Her vulnerability, intelligence, and emotional depth separate her from traditional Resident Evil heroes and bring a fresh perspective to the franchise. The confirmed environments — including Wrenwood Hotel, Raccoon City ruins, underground biohazard labs, and forest outskirts — suggest a narrative that expands and contracts between large, iconic areas and tight, intimate spaces designed for maximum tension. With its February 27, 2026 release set for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, Resident Evil Requiem is positioned as a major new chapter that blends the franchise’s roots with a modern cinematic direction. Based entirely on official trailer information, the story promises a haunting mix of legacy, family tragedy, viral experimentation, and the emotional journey of a new protagonist who must confront both the monsters outside — and the ones inside her memory.

Call of Juarez: A Good Western Experience
The early 2000s were a good time for videogames, with games like Hitman and Splinter Cell changing the landscape of the medium. One series that really took off was, of course, the Call of Duty series. The third entry in the CoD series was quite successful, but it wasn't as successful as the other, similar titles that were on the market at the time.

Interchange Received Tarkov’s Best Expansion – Here’s Why
(Intro) Interchange finally got the expansion it desperately needed, and it feels awesome to play on. For years, this map has been boiled down to essentially one focal point on the map with not much else going on for it. Granted, it makes sense; the mall has tons of loot scattered throughout and within the context of the lore for EFT, it is critical to the operations of Ragman who has connections with multiple of the traders we interact with. But for a long time, it felt like Interchange was missing something; an extra layer or point of interest that could allow people to go somewhere else other than the mall if they don’t want to head straight into one of Tarkov’s largest Thunderdome's. And while the power station was another building for people to explore and I use that word loosely because it’s so small, even with the addition of the power switch and Ref locked rooms, the rest of the map felt like it was the least thought out after the main attraction was figured out. So, come summertime, when on their roadmap for this year they had an expansion to Interchange listed as one of the additions coming, I was very excited, but also mainly curious what they could possibly change on the map to give it more life and something other to do than just the mall. And luckily, the update delivered. So, let’s go over what’s new with the Interchange expansion, compare it to other maps getting larger and why this might be the best expansion when it comes to new POI’s, mechanics and bringing life back into an old map. It’s been a long time coming for Interchange, and it’s pretty much everything I wanted and then some.
