Every piece follows the same pipeline — from cold pitch to published tag on the wall. Here's how a story hits the front page.
Reviews — 1,800 words, AUD $0 to read
Full playthroughs before we score. Every review logs 20+ hours, notes frame drops, and rates on our five-can spray scale. New releases land within 72 hours of embargo.
Esports desk — weekly, Tue 8pm AEST
Bracket breakdowns, roster moves and clutch-play film study across CS2, Valorant and Rocket League — with a Sydney lens on the Oceanic circuit.
Sponsored features — from AUD $650
Studios and indie devs get an honest long-form spotlight, always tagged as sponsored. Includes hands-on gameplay, dev interview and a two-week homepage slot.
Community throwdowns — monthly IRL
We run a first-Friday LAN night five minutes from the office on Reservoir Street. Entry AUD $15, BYO controller, winner gets the wall spot for a month.

Drag your eyes across. Left is the raw capture straight off the stream; right is the piece once our editors have laid down the layout, callouts and cover art.
What the readers reckon
"Their CS2 patch breakdown was sharper than the official notes. I changed my whole loadout off one article and finally climbed out of Silver."
"We're a two-person indie studio and their sponsored feature actually understood our game. Wishlists jumped 40% the week it dropped."
"The first-Friday LAN night is the only reason I leave the house. Won the wall spot in March and I still haven't shut up about it."
"No paid puff pieces disguised as reviews. When they tag something sponsored, they say so up top. That trust is why I subscribe."
"Their Oceanic Valorant coverage is the only place giving our regional teams real airtime. Finally someone watching the AEST matches."
"I've been reading gaming blogs for 15 years. This is the first one that writes like the people I actually game with. Loud, funny, correct."
