Important tips for Super Mega Raids in Pokemon GO:

Have a Mega in your battle party (duh)
Put that Mega in the last spot in your party
If your Mega feints before shield, leave to heal and come back

I think the lesson here is that you don’t realize how silly video game characters can look until you see them in real life. But I think color graded and in the series, Kratos will look fine. Believability doesn’t hinge on his look for me; it’s his voice that will make or break.

Can you imagine if the Chargers had somehow made it to this Super Bowl? 25 sacks, easy. Herbert barely alive.

Wonder Man is Not the Marvel TV Show You Expect, And That's a Good Thing Marvel TV's Wonder Man is a buddy comedy that subverts expectations, putting the focus on the relationship between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery.

I really enjoyed Wonder Man. The buddy comedy works so well because the two leads are fantastic! buff.ly/KW0l961

I'm sad that we aren't getting the Prince of Persia remake, but it seems they just couldn't crack it. So if you haven't played Sands of Time, do that!

If a genie offered me three wishes

Being a parent is a lot like being a Twitch streamer. Exaggerated reactions for cheap laughs while you can still get them.

Disneyland Making Huge Changes to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and I'm Very Excited Disneyland is making a significant change to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge that is sure to excite fans of the earlier, George Lucas films.

Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is expanding its timeline (basically splitting the land into two time periods) to add characters like Han, Leia, and Darth Vader to its roaming cast. gamerant.com/disneyland-s...

My son and I had our first real Pokemon GO adventure (with his own account) and he did a bunch of raids, caught a bunch of legendaries, and even got some shinies. These are the moments I've been waiting for.
