Since the birth of languages, humans have been using symbols representative of the various meanings around them. From ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, to Chinese logograms to more modern innovations like Klingon, language is, and always will…

Adorable mobile games are now being advertised to me as I thumb through the iOS store pages. I’m a real sucker for something cute, even if it’s just an idle game, and I normally I end up downloading said cute games and playing around with…

NEScape is the latest release from Khan games, who are no stranger to this sector — with NEScape being the 10th NES title released by Kevin Hanley. The Nintendo Famicom is 36 years old. Just let that sink in for a moment. I was just one…
