Graves

Graves is an avid writer, web designer, and gamer, with more ideas than he could hope to achieve in a lifetime. But, armed with a mug of coffee and an overactive imagination, he'll try. When he isn't working on a creative project, he is painting miniatures, reading cheesy sci-fi novels, or making music.

The launch trailer for Elden Ring: Nightreign just released, and — in typically FromSoft fashion — it showed off a ton of new locations, bosses, and abilities that we haven’t seen in earlier reveals and gameplay segments. The nearly 2-minute…

Valheim – Hervor Faces a New Foe (And So Will You)

In this month’s “Word From the Devs” — the newly renamed term Iron Gate is giving to what used to be “Development Blogs” — the devs have peeled back the curtain just a bit further on what they are working…

Mistress of Death Shadowheart Build – Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8

Shadowheart is a cleric. We all know this. We all accept it. However, what kind of cleric is a question for the ages. Her default Trickery Domain is thematic and fits her, but is also… Well, very weak. Meanwhile, Life…

Hexblade Warrior Wyll Build – Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8

Wyll deserves better. Or, at the very least, he deserves to use his Warlock powers in order to use his melee weapons as well as he does in his introductory cutscene. And what better way to accomplish this than to…
