Perhaps most important of all, Arthur convinced John to run. While John also saw Dutch’s increased immorality and corruption, it was Arthur who finally convinced him to take his family and leave the gang behind. This conversation comes while the two are planting dynamite on Bacchus Bridge, knowing full well that this is the last time the gang works together. As Arthur tells John, “This is over.” Maybe John was always a devoted family man – he just needed a little push to break away from the alluring hold of the g

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , once assumed to be a Nintendo Wii U title, then becoming a cross-generational release for Nintendo, delivered a breathtaking and imaginative experience for one of gaming’s most storied franchises.
