Every post apocalyptic show has this problem. Part of the conceit of the show is that gas remains viable for the same plot-reasons that dead people are moving around.

GameStop has not Blockbustered out yet?

Well, I rather liked the first Wonder Woman movie. And Aquaman was pretty decent.

First sentence is the hook. When the hook sucks it hard to capture the attention for further reading.

That should tell you something about the mindset of the author and the cluelessness of their view of his reading audience.  

There are a lot of bad aspects of being old but one of the good aspects is not having any clue at all who these streamers are. Ain’t nobody my age got time for that...

I would be fine with Microsoft owning Blizzard and Activision no longer owning them.
