That’s all come crashing down a bit over the past few months, though,as MrBeast, his partners, and his empire have all faced numerous damning allegations....

Summary Between Foundations and its Jumpstart spin-off,Magic: The Gatheringhas decided to take a quick break from crossovers and pop culture allusions to celebrate itself. Both sets are incredible, perfectly balancing simplicity for newcomers with deep cuts and tasty reprints for veterans, and I’ve had more fun with it than any other MTG release this year.

Beneath the reprints and the alt-arts, Foundations has managed to shed a much more positive light on my first set and shown it deserved much more credit than I originally gave it....

While we may never truly know why Namco decided to make a full game based onAmazon’s Secret Level episode, we can all agree that giving Pac-Man a gritty reboot is long overdue, and if Pac-Man can have a freaky, genre-shifting new entry, so can at least a handful of Namco’s other beloved arcade hits....

I love a little game of Solitaire. If ever I’m stuck for what to play, consumed by analysis paralysis when all games just blur into a single, unappealing mass of pixels, I play Solitaire. I was incredibly disappointed to find that my Chromebook didn’t come with the classic card game pre-installed when I bought it earlier this year.
