Amazon Prime VideoSome subject matter remains relevant no matter when a story is set, and unfortunately, high school bullying is one of them. The social thunderdome remains the same whether it’s the 1970s or the 2020s; it just looks a little different. There’s no better example than Stephen King’s…
Out early 2027 Terrible news, folks, it's time for another episode of "Edwin secretly watches a lot of anime and has bad anime opinions". Although I don't know how anybody could reasonably disagree with my affection for The Apothecary Diaries. It's kind of a Sherlock Holmes story, if Sherlock…

Somehow, it's been 10 years since No Man's Sky launched on Steam, an infamously inauspicious occasion that over the space of that decade evolved from a cautionary tale about the excesses of hype to one of the best and most enduring exploration adventures you can play. And it's not done yet: Hello…
