Topside News

Fan site for MA5ON and HitboTC — comedy journalists covering the real news from topside Toledo in ARC Raiders. A love letter to Embark Studios, built in the retro terminal vibe Speranza would actually run on.

How it started

Top Side News is a fan site inspired by MA5ON and HitboTC's comedy journalism adventures in ARC Raiders. These brave (or foolish?) reporters risk life and limb dodging bullets, ARCs, and very irritated raiders — all to bring you the truth about what's really happening topside in Toledo.

Catch them live on Twitch as chaos unfolds, or watch the highlights later on YouTube once they've made it back to Speranza (assuming they survive).

This site is also a little love letter to the team at Embark Studios for making a game that's genuinely brought people together in the best way possible. The retro terminal vibe felt right — seems likely this would be the bare-bones tech Speranza would be running on.

How it works

  • Static site architecture — structured content without a backend or CMS dependency
  • Responsive design — layout that works across screen sizes without a framework
  • Deployment pipeline — GitHub repo connected to Netlify for continuous deployment on push
  • Version control discipline — real project, real commits, real history
  • Follow-through — it's live, not abandoned mid-build
