Happy Wednesday, gaming lovelies! It’s been a while since I’ve crashed your screens. This week’s column brings on the nostalgia of my youth, pokes fun at the gaming industry and other fun news you can use. Read on for more!

A Chat About That Witty Devolver Digital E3 2017 Press Conference
If you haven’t had a chance to watch Devolver Digital’s E3 press conference, go take a peek now. Don’t worry, I’ll wait. (For those of you at work, skip over the first 30 seconds to miss the intro f-bombs.) Anywho, games press conferences that poke fun at the circus press conferences rank high in my book. Even better is hearing about the process from Digital Devolver’s Nigel Lowrie. Non-process loving folks, I admit the interview is a little dry, skip feel free to skip around.
