Started playing TLD again the last couple of weeks and couldn't find my Bunker Rifle. Spent like 10 days in Coastal Highway searching for it. Figured I dropped in somewhere I'd never forget to save some carry capacity. Found it hanging above my bed in Mystery Lake.

This will be interesting in Canada. I'm a huge fan of Crave so seeing all the HBO content move to Netflix, which will get a price hike, is a bummer. I'm definitely keeping Crave, but how do they make up for this probable loss of HBO programming?

This isn't even all of them. Not even close. I left a bunch on the other side of the map, and have about twice this many inside. I run a serious trapping business in TLD right now.

Both a technical showpiece and a dense adventure game, Metroid Prime 4 is exactly what the Switch 2 needed.

Just finished Season 2 of The Bear. It's easily in my top five of all-time favourite shows, and could land at the top. The character development in that show is absurd. I'm floored.

It looks like #STALKER2's Update 1.7 brought a whole bunch of new goodies just as our Shackmaps project launched its new interactive map for the game. As good a time as any for us to revisit one of our favorite 2024 games and show you how this map works. Come watch!
