Cezzaria, Master Thief Biography
February 11, 2018 12:57So you want to know about Cezzaria, huh? Well, I haven’t always been the way I am now. Being a thief rogue most of my life has classified me as a criminal, but there used to be good intentions behind it.

January 02, 2018 23:50With Leaky in chains and his life on the line, Cezzaria must decide: leave him, join the bandits and get rich (and perhaps laugh during the execution), or rescue Leaky, the whining monk guy, and figure out what the heck is up with the bandit.

Dead Space: Kyle and Travis's Reflections
September 23, 2017 12:38Ok, ok, the header image is from Dead Space 3. But like, the article is about co-op. You know what? It's from Cooptimus. There. I attributed it and now we're moving on. -Travis Travis’ Take on Dead Space I’m going to keep this simple and lean. Dead Space blew me away again, almost ten years after its release. Horror games are a lot like movies: they don’t tend to age well, unless they have that je ne sais quois of soul that many aspire to, but most fall short of. The game’s balance of horr...
