Weeklyvania #2
The week’s most memorable games writing.
We have an epic week of gaming ahead! Get ready for two Nintendo Directs, one of which is dedicated to the Ocarina of Time remake. BlizzCon is also this weekend and I haven't been this excited for a BlizzCon in over a decade. As a huge World of Warcraft fan I can't wait to see what's next. We might even see new a Starcraft game!

I also approved Mediavania writer profiles and submitted publication sources this weekend. If you submitted something in the past please check your accounts if they were approved. Feel free to message me if something isn’t right.
Have a great week!
