Halo eSports Community Manager Fired Over Transphobia?
This past week, an individual by the screen name of MagickMoonshot, came under fire for some personal beliefs that much of the Halo community found unacceptable.
However, whether you agree with her or not aside, I do believe the entire situation opens us, as gamers, up to a discussion that is worth having: where do we draw the line between personal and professional when it comes to the monster that is cancel culture?
Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Redfall Has Some Bite
Arkane Studios' most recent release, Redfall, turned a lot of heads for the wrong reasons. The game was a disaster at launch -- still is -- and failed to meet a lot of the hype Xbox had set out for this exclusive that was meant to push their current gen consoles further with gamers.
20 hours later and despite all it's faults, I'm here to say Redfall isn't THAT bad.
Let's take a look, shall we?

HBO's The Last of Us is BAD
HBO's The Last of Us seemed to be a slam dunk to many for its higher viewership week after week, notable leads, and memorable storyline taken from the popular video game franchise of the same name.
However, despite what the critics may say, HBO's adaptation had a very critical flaw in its production which I believe made it an overall bad television series and will greatly affect how well it performs in future seasons. And before you assume, no it's not because of all the LGBTQ+ episodes.
Let's take a closer look together, shall we?

Atomic Heart IS Russia's Greatest Love Machine
Atomic Heart has been shrouded in controversy since its potential ties to the Russian government were unveiled several months prior to its February 2023 release.
Despite the most desperate attempts from some, it didn't stop the game from releasing nor attracting a fair number of players.
So, with all the huff and puff aside, is Atomic Heart any good?

A Chat with Kara Lynne
At the start of 2023, a small production company called Limited Run Games was thrown into the spotlight for firing their Community Manager over her personal beliefs and private social media use due to the outcry of a very small minority.
Earlier this week, I had the incredible pleasure of chatting with Kara Lynne and getting to know the woman behind the controversy.
Originally streamed January 30th, 2023.

The Callisto Protocol: What Went Wrong?
The Callisto Protocol was one of the most hyped releases of 2022 that quickly disappeared from public eye within two weeks of its release.
After a botched launch that permanently damaged the stock value of the project's parent company, Krafton, and with Motive Studios' Dead Space remake coming January 27th, I figured now would be a good time to revisit The Callisto Protocol with a good ol' fashioned deep dive into its production, gameplay, and lasting legacy.
