Doctor Who Series 4 “Planet Of The Ood” – Review

You know something Lincoln didn’t say, “Yeah, we’ll get to talking about that slavery in a minute, but first, I want to tell you about this deal I got!” Anyway, we’ll get to that whole Ood-slavery business in a minute. I want…

Not Every Game Needs A Do-Over

It’s launch week for a new generation of consoles, as we see the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 hit store shelves. Alternately, we’re also seeing them fly off of shelves, in most places. My coworker Keiran remarked not to worry about…

FIFA 2019 (PS4) – Review

I’ve been playing the FIFA games since Moses was a young lad. Back when I was first playing, there wasn’t such a thing as female players, and Sepp Blatter was only settling into his job of corruption. I’m joking, of course, though…

Disc Room (PC) Review
