I'm a gamer. I grew up in and around one of the best cities anywhere, Austin, Tx. Head down if you like live music or games!

I only took the character to level 6, however. I realized that this was the character I'd want to play and the path I'd want to follow in the live game when it launches this week, on Nov. 4, and I didn't want to spoil that experience. At the same time, I felt a professional obligation to check out Forever's brand-new race, the Skyborne elves, and their flying-island starting zone, Zephras Isle. So I started again, with a Skyborne Druid.
The fan group We Are Mass Effect is asking players on any platform to boot up a Mass Effect game at the same time on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 2 to 5 p.m. ET (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT, 7 to 10 p.m. GMT and 8 to 11 p.m. CET). The idea is to see as many people as possible playing at once to truly demonstrate (with data!) how many of us love and are still actively enjoying Mass Effect.
Things are potentially looking up for Arkane, depending on how you feel about Ubisoft (and depending on who actually ends up acquiring them). I mention the Assassin's Creed developer because, reportedly, they're interested in buying the studio from Microsoft, having even made a bid for it. I'll go out on a limb here and say it's the whole being French thing, but uh, I'd really rather someone else bought Arkane.
The first DLC for Guild Wars: Reforged in 20 years is coming. Afterlife features a mysterious location, Xotecha, and an ever-changing dungeon with roguelite elements, new story, and new skill-draft system.
Maika Monroe has built a career as a modern scream queen. After a breakout 2014, when she starred in both It Follows and The Guest, she became a key figure in horror, continuing to revisit the genre in everything from Longlegs to Victorian Psycho. This year, both It Follows and The Guest have been a part of the horror conversation: It Follows just wrapped a sequel, wonderfully titled They Follow, while The Guest just received a quasi-sequel with Onslaught, which director Adam Wingard set in the same continuity as his previous 2014 film.
