Is Star Wars The Acolyte really “that” bad? – Review
There’s so much fear, hate and suffering surrounding the Internet discourse of The Acolyte that it’s tempting to let this review fall to countering arguments rather than critiquing the show itself. It would be much easier to review without all that noise and to be fair it would also be much easier to watch and…

Launder Your Way To Success in Arcade Paradise VR – Review
Arcade Paradise VR doesn’t mess around when it comes to nostalgia. The main menu drops you in front of a classic arcade cabinet in some black void with a carpet that instantly teleported me back twen… thirt… a good number of years. Man, I’m getting old.

Warning! Contains Bears
How many bears do you expect? Bears may have dominated social media discussion recently and I’m sure people have plenty of reasons for “picking the bear” so I’m not going to try and tie this in, but have you ever considered bears?

Have We Outgrown The “Sexy” Protagonist? – Stellar Blade
Even before its release, Stellar Blade seemed to have garnered some of the worst attention and sparked the hottest takes. Some are calling it anti-woke because the main character is a scantily clad woman in full makeup. Others are calling for boycotts because they see the design as backwards, sexist and exploitative. Claims of unrealistic beauty standards are…
