I feel like it's gone undersung that Rise of the Golden Idol's DLC this year (which is now all out there), has effectively been an entire new game's worth of cases - and it works like a side-quel (ugh) to both of the first two games.

Honestly, just an incredible thing.

Look, sometimes you're just trying to take a picture of Wayne Rooney on the TV, but you accidentally capture a frame in a dissolve, and it looks like Noah Hawley was trying to communicate that Wayne had deep thoughts about Mo Salah

The amazing thing about video games is that they can really let you express a different side of yourself, something that perhaps you couldn't or wouldn't reveal in the real world

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand has been an exciting weirdo enigma to me since it was revealed, so I was very happy to ask @fridaysundae.bsky.social a lot of questions that effectively boiled down "what the hell is this game?" on the Xbox Podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pGR...
