I suddenly came not to play PC/console games around 2007. Partly because I quit a gaming studio and started my Ph.D. courses, but mainly because around 2010, I thought the PC/console gaming was too saturated, nothing interest and mobile would prevail. Yes, it was true: mobile games

Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard in a $68.7B deal [https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/microsoft-buying-activision-blizzard-in-68-7b-deal] . It shouldn't be only me who was thrilled by the news of this morning. Two words for me: Blizzard and 68.7B. The anticipation that the once greatest but strayed studio might return
travel
Last Friday, I visited Big Sur. It was a weekday, but my daughter didn't have a class that day so that we could enjoy the less crowded beach. It is my pleasure to have one of California's most beautiful coastlines within a 2-hour driving distance. 0:

"Deserve" is the word that I'm unwilling to use/hear these days. I don't know any more harmful words in the contemporary world. Which one is more attractive?: 1) the one who something is theirs because they deserve it, and 2) the one who

I'm not sure how many people are enjoying Apple TV+, but there are a lot of gems. Recently, my favorite show is "The Problem - With Jon Stewart." [https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-problem-with-jon-stewart/umc.cmc.4fcexvzqezr25p9weks6sxpob] The show pounds bitter criticism on America'
