We were fortunate enough to be sent a GB Operator by @meet_epilogue to test out, and we were very pleased with the results.

Check out our thoughts over at The Elite Institute:

To those of you claiming that "woke" killed Bioware, you don't know what the frak you are talking about. BioWare was a pioneer in LGBTQ+ inclusion within Western RPGs, evolving from early same-sex options in games like Baldur’s Gate II and Jade Empire, to fully written queer main characters, explicit romances, and transgender/non-binary representation across the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series.

For those of you who claim you've played their games, but we know you haven't actually done so, here's a timeline of LGBTQ+ at a glance from BioWare games.

Early Era (2000–2005): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) featured Juhani as an early, semi-hidden lesbian romance. Jade Empire (2005) included same-sex options but faced editorial pushback or censorship in some markets.

Mass Effect Trilogy (2007–2012): Mass Effect (2007) sparked media controversy over a brief alien-human romance with Liara (playable as female Shepard). Mass Effect 2 expanded options, and Mass Effect 3 (2012) offered full same-sex romances for male and female Shepard, including crewmate Samantha Traynor and Steve Cortez.

Dragon Age Series (2009–Present): Dragon Age: Origins (2009) allowed bisexual/same-sex flings with select companions. Dragon Age II (2011) made nearly all main party members bisexual/pansexual. Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014) introduced Dorian Pavus as the studio's first fully gay companion and Krem as a prominent transgender character.

Later Titles (Andromeda and The Veilguard): Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017) scaled back queer options at launch, whereas later projects and studio leadership continued emphasizing expansive identity options and diverse characters.

Beyond that....

Writing & Advocacy: Lead writers like David Gaider championed authentic queer storylines, making non-straight identities a core part of fantasy and sci-fi worldbuilding rather than a joke.

Industry Influence: BioWare's commitment helped normalize LGBTQ+ characters in mainstream AAA video games, though critics and fans have also debated past missteps, missed opportunities, or inconsistent handling of bisexual representation.

(a simple Google search gives you the above, and you can go deeper if you like).

I've been playing their games since the VERY beginning. Get out of my timeline you fake-ass LARPers.

Exciting new review dropping very shortly...

(sorry for the lack of new content recently, I've been pretty ill!)

These snowflakes are so soft that they can't break a tiny bit of plastic from a bottle.

Still I suppose their innovation will be useful for all those half loops Americans drive through every day...

Finally found a way to play Silent Hill The Short Message on the Steam Machine. It has a bad reputation, but for a free release it's pretty solid. It doesn't feel very Silent Hill, but the chase sections are better than SM and Downpour for sure.

Also, way better than PT.

Can people not read and write if it's not on a device anymore? It's pretty clear.

Also coming soon thanks to my friends over at @L33t_Institute - We take a look at Silent Hill: Townfall for PC. It's absolutely one of the most visually stunning games I've seen in a LONG time! 🤯

We were kindly sent a GB Operator by @meet_epilogue, so let's take a quick look at what is included!

We'll be testing it out during the @polykill charity stream this weekend, with a review to follow over at The Elite Institute.

When you're about to re-experience peak

Completed my first run of Silent Hill: Townfall. Not a great one, but for being on a controller it wasn't too bad either

@ebisugaokas if you still need help after the patch, the part with The Weight starts at around 38 mins. Ignore the stuff in-between, but the first time you can shoot him get the key and get to the end. Second time run to each valve and then exit.

@ebisugaokas With the new patch he is very RNG with the valves, but since he can't kill you then if he does grab you at the second valve, you can just run to the exit after and be fine!

Going live as part of the marathon in just over an hour!

Had a very laid back segmented practice for Silent Hill Townfall and got 1:23. Hopefully when I try a proper run tomorrow I can get sub 1:20. I'd be happy with that for a first run

The most unforgivable kill in the Dexter series is axing Original Sin. Rewatching it and it's really good. Patrick Gibson in particular was an excellent young Dexter.
