Games

Lots of games are credited with shaping modern gaming, across all genres. However, people often underestimate just how much of an impact horror games have had.

Released in 2017, Slay the Spire essentially launched the popular genre of roguelike deckbuilders. It cleverly combined engaging elements into a game that’s easy to pick up, but challenging to truly master. Players begin with a basic deck of cards and expand it by earning new cards after each battle, constantly improving their strategy as they progress. If a player loses all their health, they start over, but with permanent unlocks – usually new cards – to help them on subsequent attempts. The game was a huge hit and remains one of the highest-rated games on Steam, boasting an impressive 97% positive rating from over 181,000 reviews.

The session started at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time and was broadcast live on the official GDC Festival of Gaming Twitch channel as part of GDC, which ran from March 9th to 13th, 2026.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition isn’t a perfect historical simulation – it’s a fast-paced strategy game, and that’s okay. Still, it’s really enjoyable to try and recreate historical battles within the game’s limitations. I’ve spent a lot of time doing just that, with mixed results, and I’ve also looked at how the game itself attempts historical accuracy in its scenarios, like the Battle of Toro. It’s a fun challenge to work around the game’s rules and make things happen with the tools available. While Age of Empires 2 excels at smaller, quick battles, trying to recreate large, complex campaigns doesn’t really work. In fact, the game is often best enjoyed with a defensive, ‘turtling’ playstyle, if that’s your preference.

I’ve compared several platforms to show you where you can safely, anonymously, and easily gamble with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. This includes details on bonuses, payment options, and my own testing results.

The Necrobinder is a powerful character who can inflict ‘Doom’ on enemies, potentially banishing them if their health drops to zero. She also has a collection of strong, but temporary, ‘Ethereal’ cards that vanish if you don’t play them. While she might not immediately seem impressive, her greatest strength is that she excels at teamwork and isn’t meant to fight alone.

I prefer Tenobet because it offers high betting limits, generous bonuses, and a lot of freedom in how you place your bets. In my comparison, I’ll show you the best options and help you find the bookmaker that best suits your betting style.
