A First Look at Dark Quest 4

3+ week, 3+ day ago (438+ words) Let's start off with its good points. While that might sound quaint, one should never underestimate the broad appeal of a game that new players can easily jump into. The tutorial is quick, informative, and prepares the player quite well for what's to come. As for the game itself, while the repetitive dungeon diving can be somewhat monotonous, none of the challenges are particularly cumbersome. Overall, any difficulties that you might experience will be the result of either personal skill issues or a lack of adequate preparation. Now for the other side of the coin. This is primarily seen when using a keyboard and mouse, but targeting can, at times, be rather problematic. Because you have to click on squares or objects through textures, you can end up clicking the wrong thing, which could lead to you either prolonging your…...

Jesper Myrfors Reveals MTG’s The Dark Was a Cultural Clapback

2+ day, 40+ min ago (483+ words) Magic: The Gathering has always carried a certain mystique, but one of its most famous expansions, The Dark (1994), wasn't just about fantasy flavor. Nay, nay! According to original art director the set was deliberately designed as a pushback against the "Satanic Panic" that swept through American culture in the late '80s and early '90s. The "Satanic Panic" was a moral crusade that painted tabletop games, heavy metal, and anything remotely occult'themed as dangerous gateways to corruption. Magic, with its demons, pentagrams, and dark fantasy art, became an easy target. Parents and conservative groups accused the game of promoting witchcraft and evil, despite its mechanics being closer to chess than ritual. Jesper Myrfors, Magic's original art director, revealed that The Dark was intentionally crafted as a protest. He was "really tired of the judgmental, holier'than'thou attitude coming from a lot of conservative so'called…...
