Your daily dose of sudoku

Starting a puzzle is always the hardest part. Finding that break-in point.

Finding braille signs

I've always wondered how blind people know where to locate signs.

Spicy food!

There's no way this bloke finds any of these items hot.

Let's learn about ports

I'm always amazed how developers managed to actually make games back in the day.

Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond

You won't be changing my mind.

The magic board

A look at it throughout the years.

Decaf coffee, anyone?

I've never gotten into the stuff.

Still learning things about Ocarina of Time

I wonder if we'll get a remake or remaster for the successor to the Nintendo Switch?

One ogre camp might be all you need

Never underestimate the mighty ogre.
