A gaming dispatch from Sydney
We're a Waterloo-based crew publishing deep RPG guides, honest indie reviews and no-hype hardware breakdowns three mornings a week. No sponsored scores, no filler.
Platforms & engines we cover weekly
What we publish
Five recurring columns, each with a fixed cadence so you always know when the next one lands.
Full 4,000-word breakdowns of build systems, branching endings and hidden lore in the season's biggest role-players. Spoiler-tagged, always.
Free to read · new entry every Friday 7am AEST
Three small-studio releases spotlighted every week, each with a 90-second verdict and a fair AUD price check.
Benchmarked hardware reviews with real frame data — from a $499 handheld to a $4,000 build. No affiliate spin.
A plain-English roundup of every meaningful update, nerf and roadmap change across the games our readers actually play.
$6/month backer tier: early guides, our Discord strategy rooms and a monthly reader mailbag livestream.
The bylines
Between us we've logged more hours than we'd admit to a doctor. Here's who's behind the words.
Editor-in-chief · RPGs
Ex-QA tester. Will fight you over CRPG dialogue trees.
Indie & narrative
Chases weird itch.io gems so you don't have to.
Hardware lead
Owns three oscilloscopes and a soldering iron. Uses them.
Community & esports
Runs the Discord and the Sunday patch roundup.
From the comments
"Your Baldur's Gate 3 companion guide got me through my first honour-mode run without a single reload. The build tables alone are worth the backer tier."
"Rig Report talked me out of a $3,200 build I didn't need and into a Steam Deck. Six months later it's still the best gaming advice I've had."
"Indie Orbit is the only reason I found Pacific Drive before everyone else. No inflated scores, just honest picks. Been subscribed since 2023."
One email, zero clickbait: the week's best guide, three indies and every patch that matters. Free forever.
