The ambush that killed Sean McGuire, the abduction of Jack Marston and the killing of Braithwaites and Grays are all exact opposites of what should have happened to achieve their desired freedom. A plan that is genius if properly executed is a deadly plan if things go sidew


Despite garnering somewhat of a mixed reception upon release, Quantum Break is better than its reputation suggests. Remedy Entertainment knows a thing or two about crafting memorable third-person shooters, and Quantum Break was arguably the studio's most ambitious proj

Emotionally trauma has been known to be a cause of suicidal thoughts or actions. When everything, including your security, feels like it's no longer yours, you begin to lose sight of the gift that is life.
