With the absolute domination of the streaming era, even people in their late 30s have begun to forget what channel surfing was like. Being insomniatic at 1 AM, trying to find something to lull you to sleep. Sure, you can throw on an terrestrial signal and hope for the best...

And we’re immediately off to an uncomfortable start. That is a teacher.
It never occurred to me that people would make such a big deal out of a half naked genie, but I also didn’t know that people would end up watching Japanese horse racing more than most sports. People tend to gravitate towards characters and ideas if they give them something...

Pocket Trap positively charmed and won me over last summer when I laid hands and eyes on Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. The game, which is so heavily GBA-inspired in design and execution, had the perfect little demo of dungeon-adjacent exploration, puzzle solving and some witty dialogue to make the...
