Been pondering about streaming or are pretty new to the scene? Looking for some inspiration, but don’t have a lot of funds on hand? Let me give you some insight.

Our first regular series started with a thorough look at a surprisingly thought-provoking little game full of charisma and personality. If you ever asked yourself how would it be if you were employed as a Grim Reaper, you're in luck because a little Estonian studio speculated on the same thing:

The Backlog # 1: Death and Taxes
