[ad_1] In this installment of our audio confessions, senior editor Daniel Cooper explains his love for a British thriller podcast that had him hooked almost immediately.I could be wrong, but I feel like everyone has a childhood experience of visiting a shit… [ad_2] Source link

Fully’s Jarvis standing desk is good, but its customer service is even better
[ad_1] Fortunately, we had a guest room that we could transform into a temporary office. After moving some furniture around and doing a bit of redecorating, I officially “moved” my workspace upstairs. But my desk situation was still pretty dire. I actually ended up using a folding sewing table as a stopgap in the guest […]
How I discovered the magic of wholesome travel games
[ad_1] The problem with these examples is that they’re overly familiar; I built my Animal Crossing island myself, so there was nothing new to discover once I’d unlocked everything. And the Manhattan of Spider-Man is, well, Manhattan. (Except without being able to actually enter the shops and museums.) I was missing the thrill of travel, […]
‘Last Word’ is an RPG about the power of debate
[ad_1] There’s also a plethora of attack options which are also coded by type. It gets confusing pretty quickly and the tutorial does a poor job of explaining it well, to the point where I was almost done with the game before it actually clicked. You even gain experience points and level up, with additional […]
Three binge-ready shows for you to stream: ‘Deep Space Nine,’ ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Solar Opposites’
[ad_1] At the time it aired, Deep Space Nine got a lot of flack for not being like its predecessors; it was too dark in tone, everyone argued too much, it was boring because they didn’t travel around in a ship, it was a ripoff of Babylon 5. All of these complaints seem rather quaint […]
‘Uncharted’ is a perfect globe-trotting break from quarantine
[ad_1] This quarantine has left me incredibly overwhelmed and anxious — so if you give me an open world map to explore right now, like in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or HZD, I’m going to end up wasting my time puttering around on sidequests and searching for secrets, with nothing but a few achievement baubles to […]
Maybe don’t start playing ‘The Last of Us’ during a pandemic
[ad_1] I also like how the combat encourages you to be thoughtful — but not without a sense that you need to micromanage your inventory. And it’s not a horror game so much as one where there’s a long-standing undercurrent of tension. You sit forward in your chair, always primed for something to happen when […]
Netflix is hosting a live comedy festival in Los Angeles this spring
[ad_1] 100+ live shows. LA’s most iconic venues. One packed week.

‘Hades’ made me a believer in early access games
[ad_1] I can’t claim to have jumped on Hades early, it’s been out for more than a year. But I started playing it about a month ago, and it feels like Supergiant used the early access model perfectly. It’s a “roguelike” action RPG where you battle through the depths of the underworld, trying to reach […]
What we’re listening to: Big|Brave and Beloved
[ad_1] Big|Brave Terrence O’BrienManaging Editor Big|Brave traffic in a particular type of metal. A type of metal that is often divisive. It’s not a specific subgenre so much as a style of songwriting and playing. They play loud, texturally maximalist metal. But with slow, minimalist arrangements. They’re similar to labelmates Sleep and Sunn O))) in […]
