1 More Castle was launched on May 28th, 2012 along with our bannered WordPress theme, proudly emblazoned with the hip online badge of honour: “beta”. While this didn’t start off as a point of ironic humor, as the months dragged on with no updates to the theme, I started to feel the unfulfilled promise of “beta” weighing down on me.

Well 2012, you were great. 1 More Castle was founded just over half a year ago, and I’ve been floored by the quality of content we’ve received. Week after week, our contributors have created funny and interesting written and video content.

My favourite part of a video game is the first instance of free exploration: When you pop out of the pipe in Super Mario 64, when you discover the waterfall hiding the Tomb of Qualopec in Tomb Raider, or when you’re let loose on the world in any Elder Scrolls title. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was exceptional in that it allowed you to re-evaluate those first few moments, but in a different light.
