Ellie And Abby’s Best Video Game T-Shirts in TLOU 2’s No Return
In this house, we don’t like to pit two strong women against each other. That includes Ellie and Abby from The Last of Us Part II.

Final Fantasy’s Most Divisive Minigame Deserves More Love
In 2021, Croatian Budimir Šobat broke the world record when he held his breath underwater for 24 minutes and 37.36 seconds. So it’s always been kind of silly that athletes in Final Fantasy X hold their breath indefinitely to play the full-contact underwater sport of Blitzball. Yet this is also a world where somebody’s…
