Our bodies are happier when we drink lots of water every day. I gulped down two bottles of water during the making of this article. Are you a bad enough dude to rip your arm off and attach someone else’s just to learn a new ability? You are? Well, please confine your hobby to Skellboy Refractured, out this week courtesy of the Nintendo eShop. Now Skellboy has come full circle, with Refractured re-releasing on Switch for fans of the first version to double-dip with all sorts of cool updated features. Skellboy‘s Switch debut was followed one year later by the PC release of Skellboy Refractured, which includes a co-op mode, a randomized dungeon, a substantial New Game+ mode, over 20 brand-new items, and of course, the Skellboy game itself. The protagonist swaps body parts to get stronger, so that’s a thing. ![]() ![]() While I was researching Skellboy Refractured for this write-up, I chanced upon an interesting tidbit: the excellent Hilary Andreff covered the original game’s Switch release in a Coming This Week column from before I was brought onto the team! There, I learned that Skellboyhas a fun twist on typical save-the-world plots, in that an ancient hero has been resurrected by an evil wizard. The Last Spell (Early Access) – June 3rd (Windows) Demand was high for a return to the way things were just afterward, and Burning Crusade Classic is the undead-fueled nostalgia trip many have been waiting for. Now that World of Warcraft Classicis a thing, longtime players have had the opportunity to retrace their steps in the Azeroth that time almost forgot - the World of Warcraft before it was changed forever by not one, not two, not three, but eight subsequent expansions. As someone who has admittedly never gotten into WoW, this was when my friends began their quest to rope me in and I’m certain the expansion’s inherent quality is the reason why. By adding new races, new classes, and a storyline that many consider superior to vanilla World of Warcraft‘s (albeit not quite as strong as almighty Wrath of the Lich King‘s), Burning Crusade made fans blush with excitement. When it first landed on PCs in 2007, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade was a hit. Well, most would technically answer with “blue flames and white flames,” but green flames aren’t so far wayward from blue flames, right? And so what if green flames tend to occur due to the presence of copper? Look, I’m just trying to say it’s hotter than green flames outside my window right now, is all. You know what’s even hotter than orange flames? Green flames. More to the point, it means I’ve got less ambition to go outside and more gumption to play role-playing games, or as we often abbreviate them, “RPGs.” I wouldn’t describe this week’s batch of newcomers as one of the biggest showstoppers of the year, but there are certainly some anticipated entries here - and I fully intend to use their titles as metaphors for just how hot it is outside today, so please look forward to it. That’s right I dabble in farming! It’s fun! In fact, I can think of only two things, and long-time readers of this column can safely guess what one of those will be.įirst, it means that I get to plant sweet corn in my garden. But there is precious little that is ideal about summer here in North Carolina. “Summer is coming,” the Starks of A Song of Ice and Fire might have said, were they idealists rather than realists. ![]() June is upon us, and for many millions of Earthlings, that means summer. Others take solace indoors, sipping iced teas and pretending it’s just an especially heated week. Some flock to beaches, slowly but surely reopening in my part of the world. Do you feel it, fellow denizens of the Northern Hemisphere who share similar climatic conditions to my own? The heat is rising.
