Although the original Machi Koro received many raves and  award nominations after its release in 2012, there were some consistency issues to playing the game that made it a little more tiresome rather than fun to play. Fortunately, Machi Koro 2 manages to improve on most every issue that the original one had!

Hizuru Minakata is a very aloof and serious individual. Armed with her giant hammer, she is relentless when going up against shadows, seeking nothing but revenge for the murder of her younger brother Ryunosuke Minakata. She is also shown to be really intelligent can and calculate fast, but also has a caring and kind side to her. Amara Cosplays takes her stab at this iconic character from the edge-of-your-seat time travel anime, Summer Time Rendering! 

Klank: Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 [ALBUM REVIEW]

Posted By Reverend Leviathan on Sep 22, 2023 in Featured, Origin: DGM Staff, Review: Music, Reviews, Type: Article (w/ Photos)

Hitting the scene in ’93, Klank began as a solo project of Darren Diolosa. That changed about four years later following live performances, and Pat Servedio joined the project as a full-time member. Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 is the band’s 8th studio album and the long awaited follow-up to Vol. 1 that was released last year, which I would also recommend!

Over the past decade or so, California has produced more than a few bands with fresh perspectives and interpretations of extreme metal subgenres such as technical death metal, black metal, and deathcore, among others.

Taking musical and vocal elements from classic Scandinavian black metal, Imperialist creates their own unique sound with precision riffing, relentless drumming, savage yet articulate vocals…

As we get to just two weeks before Gen Con, it’s made us really think about the fact that RPGs like D&D are best explored with food. And even though I don’t know what the eating rules are about making a full buffet to eat with your RPG buddies at Gen Con, I know that most home RPG games have almost as much focus on food as on quests and monsters. That’s when we came across this amazing podcast…
