Code Vein‘s Network Test Was Packed With Trashy Anime Action

This weekend, the anime-nonsense action role-playing game Code Vein held a closed network test. The results were both everything I expected and more fun than I imagined.

The Nintendo Switch is a terrific machine for playing video games with friends, for reasons that at this point have been expressed ad nauseam: It’s ridiculously versatile, portable, and not too intimidating.

I Accidentally Doomed My Teenage Sims To A Friendless Existence

Yesterday I got a lot more uninterrupted Sims time than I’ve had in months. I decided to get really self-indulgent with it, making not only a new family and their home, but a couple of teen-friendly hangout spots for the twins. I was all set to send the two youngsters out a bunch of wacky…
