I’ve spent a long time trekking across Far Cry 5’s fictional Hope County, Montana fighting the members of an apocalyptic cult led by a man called Joseph Seed, and I’m still not sure what their deal is.

Interested in how Japan saved American fashion? Read this interview with one of my favorite Japan writers W. David Marx or, better yet, check out his book Ametora on the subject!

I've had to be three people this week. They exist separately, in spaces that I'm better off keeping discrete for the sake of my own health.

In many places in the United States today, the Independence Day holiday will be marked by solemn speeches and somber remembrances about what it means to be American. Not in Los Santos. Folks in GTA Online have already started driving monster trucks, shooting guns and firing off their fireworks. Looks like fun!
"You won't like me when I'm angry" might make sense as a tagline for an angsty green monster like the incredible hulk. A pudgy little pink one? Not so much.

Flip on television, and there's half-British male model Joy selling Samurai Road 4 or singer Becky promoting her latest CD single. Turn on a dirty movie, and there's half-Brazilian actress and Yakuza star Rio getting naked.

Enjoying your day off, Americans? Why not enjoy it with video games where you fight for your nation's independence. Or the continuation of British rule! It's 2010, we're cool either way.
