I’ve been trying to distill my thoughts and feelings about playing Marathon into something easily communicable and I keep coming back to Season 6, Episode 13 of The Simpsons.

Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast finally obliged eager fans with a deep dive into Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm. With its Asian-inspired setting, dueling factions, and focus on everyone’s favorite lethal-yet-awe-inspiring creatures, dragons, it’s hardly surprising that the set has garnered a lot of attention despite several high-profile Magic collaborations–including both Final Fantasy and Avatar: The Last Airbender–being scheduled to release later this year.

Narrowing down the top 30 best anime series currently on Crunchyroll was a struggle. After merging with Funimation and buying out RightStuf, the Sony-owned streaming service Crunchyroll is scarily close to a monopoly over the North American anime market.

Recently, WotC gave us our first look at some of the cards included in the set, which ranged from expected faces like Cloud, Tidus, and Terra to wackier inclusions like Jumbo Cactuar and its 10,000-damage ability.

Games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 don’t get made anymore. And that’s because games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 can’t be made anymore. French developer Sandfall Interactive’s influences were obvious to me from the moment I began playing the game, and confirmed when director Guillaume Broche and producer François Meurisse effusively recounted the joys of playing Final Fantasy, Persona, Zelda, and many other Japanese titles.

I’m a little late to the club, considering we’re two days into March… but better late than never, I always say. Every few years, we reach a time when a certain category of devices/services becomes a tech essential. Mobile phones became essentials in the 2000s, a social media presence became essential in the 2010s, we ditched CDs for hard disks, hard disks for SSDs, and somewhere in the middle, we even dabbled with cloud storage.

More Great HubsPorts are a problem on the iPad. With just one USB-C port on most of them, you can’t charge and use other accessories at the same time.

With Apple beefing up its cheapest phone both in terms of features and price, perhaps the real battle in the midrange phone market is an iPhone 16e vs. OnePlus 13R showdown. While it’s natural to try and compare Apple’s entry-level phone with Google devices like the Pixel 8a, the iPhone 16e has more in common with OnePlus’ midrange handset. Like the iPhone 16e, the OnePlus 13R features a fairly powerful chipset, and it draws upon its flagship counterpart for design inspiration.
