Ah, VR Chat. It's like stepping into a fever dream concocted by a hyperactive AI that's binged on too much anime, furry conventions, and the entire back catalogue of Adult Swim. It's a realm where you can craft your digital self with the precision of a Fallout character creator on too much Jet, then stumble into a world where physics are optional, personal space is a myth, and your avatar might spontaneously combust into a shower of polygons.

But amidst the chaos, there's an undeniable charm. It's like Stardew Valley on acid: you can build your own little corner of paradise... or wander into a virtual rave where a giant anime cat-girl is DJing dubstep remixes of the Super Mario theme. You can role-play as a post-apocalyptic survivor, a high school student with questionable fashion choices, or a sentient toaster.

The social interactions are... unpredictable, to say the least. One moment you're having a heartfelt conversation about the meaning of life with a wise-cracking skeleton, the next you're being chased by a horde of Ugandan Knuckles while a virtual banana peels itself in the background. It's like Lethal Company, except the horrors are often more hilarious than horrifying.

And let's not forget the avatars. Oh, the avatars. They range from the meticulously crafted to the "did someone spill their bag of Doritos on the keyboard?" You'll encounter everything from anime waifus and dapper gentlemen to eldritch abominations that would make H.P. Lovecraft break out in a cold sweat.

VR Chat is not a game, it's an experience. It's chaotic, it's unpredictable, it's often downright bizarre... but it's also strangely compelling. It's a digital playground where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where the only limit is your imagination (and maybe your tolerance for questionable dance moves).

So, strap on your headset, embrace the madness, and remember: in VR Chat, anything is possible. Just be prepared for the possibility that "anything" might include a virtual pineapple serenading you with a rendition of "Never Gonna Give You Up" in a voice that sounds suspiciously like Gilbert Gottfried.

Buckle up, buckaroos, because Fallout: New Vegas ain't your grandpappy's post-apocalyptic RPG. It's a sun-baked, bullet-riddled rollercoaster through the Mojave Wasteland that'll leave you thirstier than a brahmin in a sandstorm. And trust me, I've quenched my thirst for this game more times than a gecko guzzles Nuka-Cola.


New Vegas took the Fallout formula and injected it with a double dose of personality. The writing is sharper than a Deathclaw's talon, the characters are more colorful than a Radroach convention, and the choices you make actually matter. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure novel written by a team of post-apocalyptic mad geniuses.


Now, I ain't gonna lie, I modded the hell outta this game. I turned it into my own personal wasteland playground, with everything from graphical overhauls to gameplay tweaks. But even without mods, New Vegas is a masterpiece that deserves a spot on every gamer's shelf.


I've sunk over 180 hours into this game, and I've loved every minute of it. I've explored every nook and cranny of the Mojave, completed every quest, and collected every achievement. I've even managed to romance a few of the wasteland's finest ladies (and gents). It's a testament to the game's replayability that I'm still discovering new things every time I fire it up.


Fallout: New Vegas is a must-play for any RPG fan. It's a sprawling, ambitious, and endlessly entertaining adventure that'll keep you hooked for hours on end. If you ain't played it yet, you're missing out on one of the best games of all time.


Engaging story and characters
Meaningful choices and consequences
Tons of side quests and activities
Highly replayable
Modding community is thriving


Can be buggy at times
Some outdated graphics
Can be overwhelming for new players


10/10 – A wasteland masterpiece that'll leave you wanting more.

Alright, let's grease up and dive into the absurd world of "MULLET MADJACK," a game that cranks the insanity dial way past 11 and snaps the knob off. This isn't just a game; it's an 80's hair metal album cover come to life, complete with more bullets and mullets than a truck stop in the deep South.

Mullet MadJack is the hero we didn't know we needed. Imagine if Rambo stopped taking life so seriously and decided to party hard instead. That's MadJack for you. He's all about spraying bullets with the finesse of a firehose at a cat bath, and his one-liners? They're cheesier than a high school prom in Wisconsin, and twice as entertaining.

Now, let's talk gameplay. This no-nonsense FPS is as straightforward as it gets—think of it as a guided tour through a fireworks factory that's currently on fire. With roguelike elements that keep things fresher than a pair of socks straight out of the pack, you'll never get bored, no matter how many times you play.

In conclusion, MULLET MADJACK isn't just a game; it's a high-octane, face-melting, mullet-flapping adventure that's as ridiculous as it is addictive. It's a power trip wrapped in anime visuals with the subtlety of a sledgehammer at a glassware convention. If you're in the mood for something utterly absurd and fantastically fun, then buckle up, buttercup. MadJack's got a bullet with your name on it, and it's coming in hot.

Flashback to its rocky launch, and you'll remember how Fallout 76 was once the butt of every gaming joke. Fast forward to 2024, and it's like witnessing a phoenix rising from nuclear fallout. If you're one of those who shelved it back then, dust off that power armour because it's time for a serious second look.

Bethesda didn't just leave Fallout 76 in a vault to wither; they've been out here, doing the wasteland workout, and it shows. This isn't the same game that stumbled out of the vault doors. It's evolved, patched up, and loaded with content that'll make your radroach encounters feel like a distant, bad dream.

We're talking substantial story expansions that actually make you care about the characters and the fate of post-apocalyptic West Virginia. New quests that are more than just fetch-this, kill-that. There's a real sense of purpose and narrative now that was sorely missing at the start.

But the real MVP here? The community. The once barren wasteland is now thriving with players who are as invested in rebuilding the world as the developers are. The interactions, the trading, the unexpected alliances – it's all come together to create a living, breathing ecosystem.

Sure, it's not perfect – what wasteland is? But if you can look past the occasional glitch in the matrix, you'll find a game that's brimming with adventure and stories waiting to be unearthed.

So, strap on your Pip-Boy and give Fallout 76 another shot. You might just be surprised at how much fun you can have in the wasteland these days. It's a comeback story worth experiencing, and a second chance that's paid off.

Alright, let's get into the thick of it with Helldivers 2. Strap in, because this game is like if Starship Troopers and your most chaotic laser tag match had a baby, and that baby was raised by a drill sergeant with a sick sense of humour.

You drop into alien worlds hotter than a car seat in the Florida sun, and you're tasked with spreading some good old-fashioned 'democratic' freedom - one bullet at a time. And by 'democratic freedom,' I mean you're unleashing more lead than a pencil factory and causing more explosions than a Michael Bay film festival.

The enemies are about as welcoming as a hornet's nest at a picnic. You've got everything from giant bugs that want to make you their lunch, to cybernetically-enhanced freaks who didn't get the memo that the war's supposed to be fun. And your weapons? They're the kind that make you cackle with glee as you turn aliens into a fine mist.

But here's where it gets good: the friendly fire. Oh, yes, you can absolutely obliterate your buddies by mistake (or not... I don't judge). It turns every mission into a suspenseful game of 'try not to accidentally commit war crimes against your own team.'

And when you're not accidentally taking out your squad, you're calling down supply drops that have a penchant for squashing anyone not paying attention. It's like the game is playing a cosmic joke, and the punchline is always some poor sap getting turned into a pancake.

Helldivers 2 doesn't just up the ante; it steals the whole damn casino. It's a chaotic, co-op masterpiece that's as hilarious as it is hardcore. It gets a chef's kiss from me. Perfect score for making me laugh while I cry in a fetal position, trying not to get stomped by my own supply pod... again.

Bioshock Infinite: where you go for a lovely sky-high jaunt in a floating city and end up in a twisted sci-fi version of American history class gone wrong. This game is like taking a rollercoaster through a steampunk fever dream with a side of existential crisis.

You play as Booker DeWitt, a guy with such a murky past he could give a soap opera character a run for their money. Booker's mission? Find a girl named Elizabeth who can open tears in reality. Yeah, it's as bonkers as it sounds. She's basically a human Swiss Army knife of spacetime. Need a weapon? Boom, she tears one in. Need cover? Bam, she tears in a wall. Accidentally tear in a 1980s rock band during a firefight? Oops, but also, kinda cool?

The city of Columbia is a floating paradise filled with Americana turned up to 11, where the locals are about as friendly as a hornet's nest and twice as chatty. You'll be floating around on sky-lines, which is basically like riding the world's most dangerous rollercoaster while people shoot at you. Fun times!

And let's not forget the big daddy of this game (pun intended), the story. It's like a philosophy book and a conspiracy theory had a love child. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, the game hits you with a plot twist so wild, you'll need a moment to just sit there and question your entire existence.

In summary, Bioshock Infinite is a wild, mind-bending adventure that's part shooter, part existential road trip. It's a game that doesn't just break the mould; it throws the mould out of a floating city and watches it plummet to the earth below. 10/10 would question reality again.

Dinkum: the game where you're dropped into the Australian Outback with nothing but your wits, a sense of adventure, and an unhealthy obsession with collecting every single thing you see. This isn't just a game; it's a virtual trip Down Under, minus the giant spiders and sunburns.

You start off with big dreams and a small patch of land, and before you know it, you're farming, fishing, and frantically running from emus. Yes, emus. Those feathery speed demons are no joke. You haven't experienced true terror until you've had a pixelated emu hot on your heels.

The animals aren't the only stars of the show; the NPCs have more personality than a kangaroo has hops. They're quirky, they're chatty, and they'll have you rolling your eyes and chuckling at their antics.

And let's talk about the crafting. Oh boy, if you love hoarding resources for that 'just in case' scenario, Dinkum will be your digital paradise. You can craft everything from a cozy hut to an empire of chicken coops. Why? Because why not!

In all seriousness, Dinkum is a charming and addictive life sim that captures the rugged beauty and whimsy of the Australian wilderness. It's the perfect game for when you want to relax, explore, and occasionally run for your life from the local wildlife. A fair dinkum good time!

High On Life is what happens when you let a bunch of unhinged comedians loose in a game development studio. It's like playing through a fever dream concocted by someone high on sugar and space operas, and it's absolutely glorious.

The game takes you on a bizarre, intergalactic journey that's one part shooter, one part comedy show, and entirely absurd. Your guns talk. Yes, you read that right – they talk, they joke, they comment on your poor aim, and they'll have you in stitches with their relentless banter. It's like having a stand-up comedy routine in your arsenal, and it never gets old.

The world of High On Life is a kaleidoscope of neon colours and weird alien landscapes that look like they were designed by a mad artist on a sugar rush. The enemies? Oh, they're just as wacky as you'd expect in this kind of game. You haven't lived until you've battled a gang of alien thugs who look like rejected cartoon characters.

In terms of gameplay, it's solid, but let's be honest, you're here for the laughs and the sheer weirdness of it all. High On Life doesn't just break the fourth wall; it obliterates it, dances on its remains, and then makes a crude joke about it.

To sum it up, High On Life is a riot. If you enjoy your games with a hefty dose of bizarre humour and don't mind your weapons chattering away like hyperactive squirrels, then this is the game for you. It's not just a game; it's a comedic journey through the wildest reaches of space and humour.

Alright, let's dive into Palworld. This game is like if you threw Pokémon, Minecraft, and a dash of insanity into a blender and hit the 'chaos' button. It's a bizarre mix, but man, does it make for some entertaining gameplay.

First up, the world's pretty sick. It's like a Bob Ross painting on steroids – super colourful, vibrant, and full of weird and wacky creatures, or 'Pals.' The environments are diverse, and each one has its own unique flavour, making exploration actually pretty dope.

Now, the gameplay is where things get nuts. You've got your standard creature-catching shenanigans, but then Palworld slaps in survival and crafting. It's like trying to play two different games at once, which is both hilarious and kind of overwhelming. Taming Pals is fun, though – it's like befriending a bunch of wild, overpowered pets.

The combat? It's wild. It's a mix of strategy and just outright chaos. You’ve got Pals shooting lasers and stuff – it's like an action movie directed by a kid high on sugar. It keeps you on your toes and makes you think about how to use your Pals effectively.

The multiplayer is where I had a blast. Teaming up with friends adds a whole new level of fun. It's like bringing your pals to play with your Pals, which is pretty meta.

The story's there, I guess? It's not going to win any awards, but it keeps the game rolling. Honestly, though, who's playing Palworld for the plot? We're here for the Pals and the pandemonium.

So, wrapping up, Palworld is an absolute cluster of fun and confusion. It's not perfect, and sometimes you feel like the game is having an identity crisis, but that's part of its charm. If you're into games that are off the beaten path and aren't afraid to just throw everything at you, give Palworld a shot. It's a wild ride, and I'm here for it.

Rating: A solid 8/10 for sheer audacity and fun.

Lethal Company isn't just a game; it's a wild ride of dark humor and unexpected twists that'll have you clutching your sides with laughter as much as gripping your controller in suspense. So, here's a little story to set the scene:

Picture this – the clock's ticking down, the quota's almost met, and there we were, a dollar short of our goal. Tension? You could cut it with a knife. Or in our case, a stop sign. Just when I thought we were out of luck, my friend, in a moment of sheer entrepreneurial genius (and maybe a touch of madness), turns to me with a gleam in their eye and the nearest street sign in hand. Next thing I know, I'm on the virtual pavement, 'sleeping with the fishes', and my buddy's pocketing a cool $5 from some shady NPC. Quota met. Mission accomplished.

If that doesn't sum up the brilliance of Lethal Company, I don't know what does. It’s that kind of out-of-the-box, or out-of-the-coffin, thinking that this game not only allows but encourages. So, grab your controllers, and maybe a helmet, and dive into the madness that is Lethal Company. Trust me; it's to die for... literally.
