Welcome to Five by Friday! This week’s topic is sidekicks! Too often, people focus on the heroes and the villains, but what about the people that help the hero win the day? Whether the hero only has one person to help them out or a whole team of them, we’re focusing on those support systems today. Join […]
Mass Effect: House Rules
This article contains spoilers for the Mass Effect franchise. If you have yet to play it, tread carefully! There’s no denying it: Mass Effect is my favorite game franchise of all time.

See You in the Drift
Here at Avenging Force we’re getting pretty tired of the same-old, same-old. ‘Shipper wars and “Team [Couple]!” cries are getting pretty played out, and we’re well past tired of great stories and characters getting watered down to who they might kiss at the end of the story.

This Is Not the Universe You’re Looking For
I was twelve when I fell in love with the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
