That doesn't sound very exciting, does it? Let's go back a bit. The simple truth is this: Elden Ring reminds me a lot of my teenage years playing EverQuest. EverQuest was the World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 of its day, the day in question being the early 2000s.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed shows off its platform-brawling in first trailer
And it's out this October.
As an old person who's still not over the novelty of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being allowed to be called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the UK without anyone getting funny about the word "ninja", it'd be fair to say I'm a little behind on the franchise.

Supporters | Game of the Week: The secret to Baldur's Gate 3's success is fanfiction
Just give me ursine.
I remember visiting the Fantasy: Realms of Imagination exhibition at the British Library and being quite taken with how it featured - and therefore recognised - fanfiction. There in a digital exhibit counting the tens of thousands of stories written about famous fantasy worlds, it seemed to declare these stories a crucial part of how fantasy exists now. In a sense, it portrayed fanfiction as the lifeblood of fantasy, pumping it around the world, keeping it alive.
