With the absolute domination of the streaming era, even people in their late 30s have begun to forget what channel surfing was like. Being insomniatic at 1 AM, trying to find something to lull you to sleep. Sure, you can throw on an terrestrial signal and hope for the best...

Deckbuilding titles have been there and back again in recent years, and I’ve played just so, so many of them. From Fights in Tight Spaces to Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire, it’s clear that the roguelike approach of letting you build your arsenal of whatever on the fly is here to...
And we’re immediately off to an uncomfortable start. That is a teacher.
Cowboy Bebop doesn’t mean a damn thing in Japan. When Millennial weebs finish rage smashing their empty Sobe bottles, we can continue. This anime, which I know was a cornerstone for Adult Swim viewers of the late 90s, is heralded in the U.S. as one of the best of all...
