The games may all be indie titles, but they run the gambit in terms of gameplay from shoot-em ups to puzzlers, with a healthy dose of platformers thrown in, of course. The wildly popular deck-building game Slay the Spire is $20, which is a good deal for how much game there is in the relatively straightforward title. For those who enjoy a good puzzle but don’t like card games nearly as much, there’s Baba is You, one of the year’s hidden gems that sees players manipulating reality with words....

The Mario and Luigi franchise is a series of RPG style games that were released for various handheld systems, such as the Game Boy Advance, the Nintendo DS, and the Nintendo 3DS.

Might not be at the end of this season, might not be for another two or three. But if you’re all things Crimson, you better start preparing for the end of Nick Saban. Alabama’s 42-13 victory over Missouri Saturday afternoon was more than another SEC Championship for Saban or locking down a spot in the first College Football Playoff.

“I don’t know,” McElwain said. “I was never a good enough golfer to be in their foursome.” McElwain was the offensive coordinator as Alabama, in 2009, won the first of six national championships in a 12-year period. Smart was the defensive coordinator. Saban, then as now, was the head coach whose eye for talent and genius for organization put the Crimson Tide back on the pedestal Bear Bryant had built for them in the 1970s....

Outfits and accessories are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on stats, giving players the freedom to dress up the characters to their own tastes.

I have to confess that last week I found myself feeling more depressed than I had been in my adult life by the words of the chief scientific officer Sir Patrick Vallance. He said that 60 per cent of the U.K. population needed to get COVID-19 in order for our nation to build herd immunity, yet Boris Johnson had said nothing about this. I worked out pretty quickly that this tactic would trigger in the region of 400,000 deaths....

To think that America in the 21st century is incapable of counting votes state-by-state and coming to a result is a pretty bad thing for America....
