Let’s Go On An Adventure: My Experience With LARP

Ask any long time RPG fan what they’d want most if given the power, and a majority of them will ask for the chance to live within a world they’ve only explored digitally. It’s easy to become lost in both a world and a character when playing an RPG; after all, that’s the point of […]

Screen Savers: Zoolander

Recent numbers show Ben Stillers latest cash grab Zoolander 2 flopping hard at the box office. For the most part, this seems due to sharing a release weekend with Ryan Reynolds superhero comedy Deadpool, but it could also be argued that Zoolander is cursed with timing, having released the original movie right after 9/11. Zoolander, despite being highly quotable on the […]

Enthusiastic Dad Reenacts Final Fantasy VII Summons

I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve tried to get my parents to try gaming. The closest I ever came was the hour or so my dad spent playing Hotel Dusk, which he then abandoned. Because of this, I’m always pretty envious of people who manage to inspire a shared interest in gaming with […]

Help Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Win The Oscar

Everyone and their mother’s knows the joke about Leonardo DiCaprio at the Oscars. The poor guy has been nominated so many times and never won to a point where it’s almost stopped being funny. That is, it’s almost stopped being funny. Until we get the news that The Revenant finally saved poor Leo, we can still enjoy this game […]

A Gif For Every Occasion: Gif Essay

Like most people, I’ve always been a fan of Futurama. Sure, it’s had its low points but on the whole it’s always been funny and clever and at times genuinely heartfelt and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone on earth who didn’t recognise the show or one of their iconic lines. In fact, sometimes they even […]

Desperation Day Is Here Geeks!

Ah, Valentines Day! For some, it’s a wonderful excuse for some R&R with that special someone in your life. But for others, it’s a panic inducing suck-fest that reminds you of the fact you are once again alone. It can be incredibly stressful watching all of your friends get paired off while you’re stuck having […]

Fictional Feelings: Laura’s Loves

Since we’re all about the love this week on The Arcade, we’re swamped by our feelings and we’re all fantasizing about our favourite fictional crushes, haunted by the love that can never be because they’re imaginary. I’m guilty of more than a few fictional crushes in my lifetime, spanning from the world of games to […]

P.T. Inspired Horror Game Visage Gets Kickstarted

Fans of the infamous P.T. demo have been looking for a replacement fix ever since Konami decided to remove it from the PSN Store. Luckily, it seems they may be in luck as a new P.T. inspired horror game called Visage has just been funded on Kickstarter and the developers at Sadsquare Studios are now looking towards their stretch goals of […]

GameTrailers Website Shuts Down

It’s upsetting news for the website’s fans and employees, but well-known video game website GameTrailers has announced that they will be shutting down. The website was popular in the mid-noughties and known as one of the best resources for video game trailers after companies began making the switch from print advertising. After 13 years, GameTrailers is […]
