1997 saw the release of “Berserk,” an animated series produced by Studio OLM, famous for captivating children globally with their work on “Pokemon.” However, this production stands in stark contrast, adapting one of the saddest anime and manga ever made, leaving mature viewers emotionally drained yet craving more. To put it bluntly, “Berserk” is not a light-hearted fantasy; instead, it embodies what fans often associate with a dark, especially grimdark, fantasy series. Set in a world on the brink of collapse, it portrays an array of horrific events that one might deem unimaginable. Disturbing, gritty, violent, hopeless, and morally complex, “Berserk” is not for the faint-hearted. Despite its harrowing nature, the series and characters possess a profound emotional depth, exploring themes such as free will, perseverance, human connections, and corruption. Even in struggle, wisdom emerges, much like in the quotes from “Berserk’s” manga and anime.

Back in the day, I was just a kid when the gaming world was introduced to a true legend – Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. The sequel, Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness, came along a year later, followed by Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos in 2002. These games have left an indelible mark on the RTS genre, but it’s important to remember that the real pioneer might be Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty. This gem was launched way back in 1992 and is often hailed as the original blueprint for modern RTS games, much like Warcraft and the genre itself owe their existence to its remarkable legacy.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

Henderson commented in the podcast, “It’s completed, but it was significantly delayed.” He continued, “Based on what I’ve learned from those involved in the project, the ransomware attack and data leak were factors, but the psychological impact when personal information such as addresses, social security numbers, etc., is exposed cannot be overstated.

On Monday, Alinea Analytics announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong had achieved an impressive milestone, surpassing 5 million players within only three days of its release. This rapid success is a stark contrast to the first game, which took two years to sell approximately 2.8 million copies. In fact, this month, the original Hollow Knight has sold over 15 million copies. Given this trend, it appears that Silksong is on track for an extraordinary journey, with more players expected to enjoy it in the coming days.
