The Best PC Game of All Time

Damn, did you see that weekend whooshing by? Going a bit fast, wasn’t it? Yup, time sure is flying these days, disappearing quicker than my enthusiasm for being a normal, sociable human being. So first up I previewed Warhammer: Chaosbane, a Diablo style game with plenty of hacking, slashing and looting. It’s not due out until June, so there’s plenty of time for refinement, but my initial impressions were reasonably good. At the moment I’m cautiously looking forward to Warhammer: Chaosbane.

Due to launch in June, I got some time in with Warhammer: Chaosbane during its closed beta. So let’s talk about that. To describe Warhammer: Chaosbane as a Diablo clone would be lazy. I am lazy, though, so yes, Warhammer: Chaosbane is basically Diablo or Torchlight but with considerably more of Nurgle’s gross minions. It’s up to you or you and three other people to bash the forces of Chaos in the face, collect shiny loot and ultimately spend a lot of time in screens trying to maximise your stats. Maybe you’ll even save the day. Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One (Tested) Release Date: June 4t...

Goodbye.” Arch Warhammer, a gaming YouTuber who focuses mainly on Warhammer lore, has also been vocal in the Total War community over the years. Most recently, he criticized Creative Assembly for seeming to remove a mod from Steam that replaced character portraits with hypersexualized women. In a video responding to the mod’s removal, he accused Creative Assembly of a conspiracy to censor fan mods that sexualize women because of the supposed influence of SJWs.

In it, he specifically called out one of studio’s female moderators who had previously criticized a mod for Total War: Three Kingdoms that contained sexualize...
