Oh hey, two articles in a row! Is this really me?! In any case, welcome to another entry in “Talking Point”, a magazine-style series of casual articles! If you have any topic suggestions, do feel free to leave them below! I’d love to hear your ideas! Today we look back on Delisted Games, a topic that leaves many gamers with a fear of missing out, myself very much included. It goes without saying that it sucks when a game is taken off stores.

It was the most beautiful ritual in existence. I will forever remember how my sister and I would practically jump out of my dad's Volkswagen Gol as it was still moving, easing to a halt as he killed off the engine, how we climbed the stairs to our home and deposited our bags on the floor, rushing to the TV so we could catch half an episode of Pokemon (because the school didn't let up early enough for us to see the whole thing).

Some of you may have read, and remember, my little article on the various versions (five...

Remakes, what are your thoughts on them? Are they a great excuse to revisit a classic you once loved? Are they different means of re-exploring old concepts through new lens, a different interpretation that has a right to exist?
