Finally a reason to play Fortnite!

She was heartbreaking as a doomed teen bride in season two of The Handmaid’s Tale.

I agree, Longlegs was the year’s best horror movie. Overall not the best year for the genre so I’m crossing my fingers next year will be better. I saw a year-end list that had Late Night with the Devil at number one, but I didn’t find it remotely scary or suspenseful.

My eyes! My eyes!

Where did the pirate stay while he was on vacation? The yo-ho-hotel I don’t need the code either but had to join in on the bad dad jokes!

RDR2 isn’t boring, it‘s an incredible journey through old American history and here’s the proof:

For those of you who have used Gameflip to buy a code, I could use your help. I bought a code for Alan Wake II that was listed as “None/Global” under “Region Restriction.” When I got the Xbox code, the seller messaged me and said it was a code from Egypt and that I needed to download an app...

Huge thumbs up to Bethesda for Starfield. I wouldn’t expect it to realistically compete for GOTY since it’s an Xbox exclusive, but my goodness anyone looking for an RPG to play need look no further. Excellent.

Glass half empty: I caught Covid and it sucks Glass half full: I’m plowing through my backlog to make room for Starfield
