Why this page exists
Publishing about video games and gaming gear without saying how you work is asking for trust you have not earned. This is how we work.

Publishing about video games and gaming gear without saying how you work is asking for trust you have not earned. This is how we work.
We do not plan an editorial calendar. Articles appear when a question has come up often enough to be worth answering properly.
A draft goes through four hands worth of work. The writer separates what they know from what they assume. The assumptions are either checked against something nameable or deleted. What is left gets written up. Then a second person reads it looking only for overconfidence, which is the failure this subject invites most.
We earn from some outbound links. That pays for hosting and research time, and it does not decide the verdict of any page.
If a partner asks us to remove a criticism, the answer is no, and the request itself may end up mentioned in a future article.
Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.
Toby Reyes, Game reviewer. Toby has a personal rule against reviewing a game he has not actually finished, even when a publisher's early review window makes that inconvenient. He writes reviews the way he would warn a friend before they buy.
Priya Anand, PC building and hardware writer. Priya has built her own PCs since she was a teenager and writes hardware guides without the jargon that makes a first build feel harder than it needs to be.
Callum Wexford, Streaming and content creation writer. Callum streamed to an empty chat for over a year before finally figuring out what actually grows a channel, and writes from that failure rather than from a highlight reel.
The date on an article is the date it was published. When a change alters the advice, we update the modified date and say what changed. Cosmetic edits do not reset the date, because pretending a page is fresher than it is helps nobody.
Corrections go to [email protected]. Include the address and the sentence. Anything factual is fixed without argument. Anything that changes what the article recommends gets a dated note underneath, so the change is visible.
