Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

My son is head-over-heels in love with Stranger Things. He's 10 and I was worried about some of the more intense stuff, so I edited a bunch of it out and we watched together. We're all caught up as of last night--all ready for the finale in like an hour. Kid is pumped.

Despite the goofy Vader name, this is the new hotness on my desk as of late. It's a clicky one--and you gotta be into that--but everything feels great. Flydigi's even got an xbox licensed controller around the corner so expect to hear their name again soon.
