$10 every four weeks for a scattering of in-game rewards? $130 a year perhaps seems an awful lot of money for a card game on my phone. Read more

It’s such an odd suggestion. Yup, a comment buried deep in an article is designed to get those hits from, um, all the people who already read down that far. Read more

Firstly, it was a miserable mess of being dragged by the nostrils through its godawful story, with almost no actual tomb raiding, incessant hateful cutscenes, and almost no puzzles. Then there was the shitty rape scene opener, the racist characterisations, and the absolute betrayal of Lara as a character by having her… Read more

Shoe bomber, thank you.

I was being silly! You’re quite right - both were December games.

You would be a bad jurer. Or medium.

Wishlisting is not in any sense like purchasing. It’s about keeping them on your radar. The games I’m including in these lists are all ones I think deserve a spot on people’s wishlists. I really don’t understand the issue.

Yes, of course you’re limited to having four in a battle deck. However, I’m also aware that The Pokemon Company doesn’t come over to my house and remove any further duplicates from my bulk should I exceed that in cardboard form. Read more
