However you feel about hybrid or remote working, it’s clear that the option to work from home offers many more opportunities for folks both near and far, but the US Department of Justice has recently shared a bizarre story that highlights a rarely seen dark side. According to a recent press release from the DOJ,…
I must confess to having a bit of a soft spot for Bing, Microsoft’s search engine. Not because it’s good (it isn’t) and not because there are no alternatives (there are). It’s all down to how hard it tries to be relevant or remind you about other products from Redmond. To coin a phrase from…
Fortnite‘s new bug-infested season, Shock ‘n Awesome, is landing today. Creepy crawlies are spreading their purple goop all over the battle royale map, and you’ll be fighting both them and other players if you want your victory crown.

I like ghost stuff. I like stories about ghosts, I like seeing old photographs that supposedly show evidence of ghosts, and I like videos that claim to show ghost activity. But I view all that stuff as goofy fun. There’s always a reasonable explanation for whatever shadowy face can be seen in an old photo…
There’s a board game for everything now. Last time I looked in at my local store they had board games based on Oregon Trail, the Iliad, and World War II espionage in the Mediterranean theater specifically. I shouldn’t be surprised there’s going to be a board game based on that one fighting game where you…
Have I ever complained about boss fights before? Spoiler alert: Yes I have, multiple times, in these very pages. Is that going to keep me from doing it again? Not a chance, pal. Because listen, it bears repeating: Boss fights are bullshit—tedious holdovers from the arcade era designed to separate stupid kids (like me) from…
Anthem isn’t getting shuttered for good until January 2026, but it’s already spent years as one of the industry’s preeminent tragedies. This week, former Anthem executive producer and BioWare veteran Mark Darrah published the first of a multi-video YouTube series about the game’s ill-fated production history, and how BioWare’s storytelling chops might have been too…
