Manhunt, the electric computer detective game! This evening my wife and I were looking for something to do. Inspired by a recent binge watching of Mindhunter on Netflix, I decided to pull this classic from 1972 out of the closet.

Thrift Store Find: Family Feud!
If there is one trivia game that hits the nostalgic nerve in me, it has to be Family Feud. I don’t mean the TV game show that is still airing today. I mean the plastic and cardboard contraption that was produced in the 1970’s based on the TV game show. That’s right, I found a…
Dungeons and Dragons 5E Cantrips – Fire Bolt

We had the #VoxAdpocalypse that started when a certain employee of Vox called out comedian Steven Crowder for mocking him in his rebuttal videos. This quickly escalated into what appears to be a concerted effort on the part of legacy media to de-legitimize YouTube as…

This has got to be the craziest and most unexpected news I have heard out of E3 this year. I know last year a bunch of us had feverish dreams of seeing Fallout 3 remastered for the Switch but, The Witcher 3??? No, not even in my wildest dreams did I think this title would…
