Alright, give me your thoughts and opinions on Baldur's Gate 3, those of you who have played it! Specifically curious about: Should I buy it at full price or be a #PatientGamer ? Will I enjoy it if I didn't get very far in Divinity: Original Sin 2 (it didn't capture me quick enough and I have...

With imgur being naughty we seem to have entered a fifth era of image hosting on HNZ. As TinyPic, ImageShack, PhotoBucket, and now imgur have fallen we can be grateful that it's not as bad as tinypic (where random images would load in place of what should have been your signature!) but still the...

Hey witches + wizards, here's the BWU you've been waiting for! Week 5! This is week 5 of classes, which probably means you've got 5 lessons for each course for every student to catch up on. But maybe you didn't even realize because your professor didn't send out the link to the class! Oh no...

Hey friends! Sorry it's late, but as I'm sure is true for all of you: life be crazy sometimes! Week 6! We're in week 6, and so we want to encourage you to catch up on those classes, stay on top of that marking - and to encourage professors once more to send notifications when they've posted a...

When we moved to Xenforo, we decided to install a fully featured chatroom instead of just a shoutbox but to treat it like the familiar shouty we all knew and loved. This gave us some extra features for staff that we thought would be useful, and the possibility to change how we use the feature in...
