It’s impossible to understate the importance and influence of the Los Angeles-born band, Fishbone. The list of groups the untraditional collective has inspired is long and includes names like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and No Doubt. Their brand of ska-punk-rock-jam has defined explanation and been foundational for many. Started in 1979, Fishbone continues to rock stages today, albeit with some new faces over the years.

It’s been 35 years since a new entry in the Fatal Run franchise has been released. Wait, let me correct that. It’s been 35 years since Europe has seen a new entry in the Fatal Run franchise.

Sometimes, I can’t believe what I’m writing about. What do you MEAN there’s a magical girl horse racing gacha game available on Steam and Mobile platforms? Why does this look fun? Why am I suddenly now a fan of Umamusume: Pretty Derby? The premise is wild. The graphics are quite impressive. But most of all, why did it take me until today to hear about this?
