While video games seem like a media all to themselves, they aren’t an island by any means. Many of the plots, characters, and ideas that you see in games come from other media forms likemovies, shows, and more often, novels. This is especially true in more focused genres, such as gothic.

Honestly, I’d prefer to write about anything other than anew tariff-infused trade waraffecting theSwitch 2’spre-order window and potentially price. One, I’d rather think about anything other than the money math. Two, the price of a video game console isn’t nearly the most important thing happening in the world right now. This stupid ass trade war will affect billions of people and those hurt the most by it probably don’t give a rat’s ass about whether or not a console costs $450 or $550....
