The io9 coverage of Lovecraft Country ran meh to negative, but over on The Root they were doing a much more in depth review and breakdown of each episode and how it connects to both history and genre fiction, complete with suggested reading and viewing lists each week. It made for great companion reading. If you give…

I absolutely loved it, but I haven’t read the book and had zero preconceived notions of what it would be going in. All I knew was it had a great cast and some dope looking monsters.

What I will say, without wanting to spoil anything, is to not go in expecting a horror show. It’s far more of a 50's style pulp adventure,…

You really don’t know, so let’s leave it at that.

So, as someone who saw Fortnite become a thing among his students even before Ninja hit it big, I feel safe in saying that he had/got such a huge following because:

It’s a shame a lot of the art don’t get translated well. I may not love the game but I can’t get over the visual feast of these artworks.

You should show this to Sony’s other lines who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. Their cell phone line is a mess.  

As a mid-30s guy who played a lot of games, specifically Animal Crossing and its built in sense of virtual community, during all of this to keep sane and in touch with friends and family, this NYT article can kindly fuck off. I’ll keep sussing my 8-year-old nieces and nephews in Among Us from afar on a weekly basis (be…

The sole purpose of any motorsport is to trade wear and tear on a vehicle for entertainment and fun. Why do you care how people reach that goal?

Adam, you seem like a fellow gentleman of discerning tastes: Here are three of my favorite unheralded racing games you might want to think about tracking down and playing if you get bored (though obviously, you may have played one or two of them.)
