The People Are out of Touch Pokémon Champions Responding to IGN's review of Pokémon Champions, as well as some others I've seen online

April piece is now up!

Pokémon Champions has been out and officially reviewed, and I don't think that those who wrote about the game in an official capacity really understand it or who it's for. Check it out here.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. Find out more inside.

Honestly SHOCKED they lowered the price of gamepass. Trade off is Call of Duty won't be day 1 launches, but I'm more than okay with that to get a cheaper price.

Glad they at least stated what's going on here. Could we potentially see a rare reduction in the cost of a subscription?? I hope so

Crimson Desert is a chore-some slog, trapped under the weight of its own scale.

Its muddled post-release patching has sanded away any points of friction, leaving only busywork and a dull world full of boring characters.

It's a bad video game.

I told myself "just one more battle" while playing Slay the Spire 2. Big mistake. One more fight turned into an hour and a half 😭

Just finished season 2 of Jury Duty (company retreat) and it's always so endearing how the "hero" acts and encourages everyone. I need bro in my life
