The very first #BestGuessLive on Netflix peaked at 8,900+ players. Two people got this answer on the first clue and got to split $5000.

I wasn't able to watch the PC Gaming Show the whole way through, but this game grabbed my attention.
The doors to The House of Hikmah have opened, but much has yet to be revealed.
In our first in a series of blogs, we pull back to curtain to unveil just a bit about this story of grief, legacy, and loss.

I've told so many friends, "I'll keep an eye out for you" and watch for job listings. But I've done it so much that when a listing does come up, I forget who's looking for what... which sorta shows how grim things are these days.
But yeah, if you're looking for work, right here!

I get why the media is focusing on citizens, women ("mothers") and children, but NO ONE deserves to be brutalized by ICE. Men do not deserve this inhuman treatment either, undocumented people do not deserve this treatment. There should be no qualifiers on calling for this to end.

Octopath Traveler 0's combat has never been better. Satisfying to play, gorgeous to look at, and an epic soundtrack. And town-building is a really cool addition.
It's a shame that I found the story to be so weak.

This is fascinating to me, because the battle royale and social aspects of Fortnite and Apex Legends would totally make them Gen Z shooters, would they not?
so I guess if there are boomer shooters, then there are also other generations of shooters, right?
