It's that time of year again to discuss a Like a Dragon game on Random! LaD makes me grin like nothing else, but I do wish RGG would take a few years to look at the series to see where they could innovate. Majima on a pirate ship is super fun, but it's still a pretty skin deep change. Be bolder!

There are many ways that generative AI has hurt professional writing, but a little one that gets under my skin is its constant use of em dashes. I used to like using em dashes. Now if I use one, it looks like ChatGPT wrote it!

I played some pretty amazing games in 2024 and here are my thoughts on three of them!

Like many Canadians, “Made in Canada” has taken on greater importance to me in the last month. And though this episode of Random was in the works long before Feb, it felt amazing to take action and put a deserving spotlight on several “Made in Canada” games & devs. I am so proud of our industry!

This is a Jeremy Lapalme appreciation post: in addition to being part of Lil' Guardsman's writing team, he lent his voice to some of its most iconic and hilarious characters. Here are some of my favourite of his bits!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFkl...

Goro Majima takes center-stage of his own pirate-themed adventure; and RGG Studio gets to let loose on the open seas! It's not without some flotsam and flubs, but before you really notice you'll be back doing something outrageous again.🏴‍☠️ Full Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/like-...

Just finished recording what might end up being my favourite episode of Random Encounter ever. Super excited to share it later this week.

Well, he is giving Trudeau one hell of a final chapter for his memoir.

Today's episode of #RandomEncounter brings on a double dose of sci-fi and fantasy with #CitizenSleeper 2 and #TalesOfGraces f Remastered! Plus, the panel discusses Sony's recent efforts with live-service gaming. Listen to this podcast below 🎧 Listen: www.rpgfan.com/2025/02/03/r...

Apparently the tariffs were never about the border and fentanyl; they were and always have been about Canada being mean to American banks. Also, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Can't speak highly enough of a decently-sized electric blanket. It saved my frozen ass more than a few times when I lived in a below-ground apartment in my 20s.

I had to miss the first Random of the year due to Bronchitis, but Zack did a bang-up job filling in for me!

Had a huge amount of fun chatting about our games of the year on this week's Retro! Personally, I think the total conversion mod Fallout: London deserves way more attention—not just because it's a pretty darn good Fallout game, but also for the sheer scale of what Team FOLON managed to pull off.

We need YOUR VOTES! 💚 Game of the Year is done by staff AND readers, and we need your help to highlight the best and brightest of the bunch. It's been a BUSY year filled with many great games, we can't do all the picking! Help us out! 👉 www.rpgfan.com/2024/12/20/g...

Our #RetroEncounter panelists give their final thoughts on The #LegendOfZelda: A Link to the Past in this latest feature! This SNES classic established the series formula that has inspired countless titles since. Check it out below! Final Thoughts: www.rpgfan.com/feature/retr...

My partner, Amanda, always does a bang-up job with our manger scene, but, inspired by a recent episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, I think she may have outdone herself this year.
