I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Valve’s new card game, Artifact, since it launched on Wednesday.

I Hope Red Dead Online Brings Back Red Dead Redemption‘s Standoffs

Red Dead Online is now available for everyone to play.

Here’s a thing I’ve noticed while watching other people play Red Dead Redemption 2: there’s an Arthur Morgan on the screen, who looks like Arthur Morgan and sounds like Arthur Morgan, but isn’t my Arthur Morgan.
