Why Banjo-Tooie is a True Adventure
I am twenty-four years old. I have owned a Nintendo 64 for, I’m sure, just shy of my entire life, given that the console came out in 1996. I’ve played and completed Super Mario 64 half a dozen times, super smashed every brother, and know every track in Mario Kart…

Formal: 76 Flies In the Face of Overwatch’s Hopeful Future
Until recently, Soldier: 76 wasn’t actually a soldier. Not like the ones we’d find in our world. He was another cartoonish character in the futuristic world of Overwatch.
