1. Discord Begins Rolling Out Age Verification–And A Sponsorship With FanDuel

Discord has officially begun rolling out age-verification measures as of today. The company first announced age verification--and, subsequently, limits placed on accounts of those under 18--back in February of this year, but delayed a full implementation until just recently. According to the official announcement blog post, this delay was done in order to include more age-assurance options, including several that do not rely on controversial biometric or digital ID systems, which have raised pri...

2. Halo Stopped Being Relevant A Long Time Ago

Halo: the flagship game of the Xbox brand. The #1 reason to buy an Xbox. The game that inspired countless clones and purported "Halo killers." All of this was true once upon a time. But the reality is that Halo's place in gaming today is not what its legacy would suggest. Consider this--Halo has been irrelevant for longer than it was ever relevant. This realization dawned on me amid the Xbox "reset" news, and while it felt surprising to think about in those terms initially, it's true. Halo's pea...

5. 30 Years Later, Collecting Pokemon Cards Hits A Little Different

Let me sound like an old for a second. I remember in the late '90s and early '00s, collecting Pokemon cards was a casual hobby. You'd go to your local brick-and-mortar store with the money you made from mowing the lawn or whatever, drop maybe $10 on a couple of packs, rip them open, then go to your middle school to trade cards with your friends. No one knew how to actually play the game; the cards just looked cool, and everyone wanted something. Me? I wanted a holographic Charizard, and I would'...

Contrary to comic book science, you don't need to enroll in a shadowy Canadian black-ops program and undergo excruciating pain to get a set of Wolverine's signature claws.
