The real American heroes of G.I. Joe — and the evil terrorist organization Cobra — are coming to Overwatch 2 next month in Blizzard’s latest collaboration with toymaker Hasbro. And this time, the picks are pretty much flawless, with Reaper cosplaying (and accurately whining) as Cobra Commander and Genji dressed up as Snake Eyes.

As divisive reactions to 28 Years Later continue to take shape, the movie has inspired some side chat about how, exactly, we’re expected to think about 28 Weeks Later, the other 28 Days Later sequel. Now that Boyle and Garland have made their own sequel, it feels like 28 Weeks Later has been squeezed out – especially because Boyle, Garland, 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy, and 28 Weeks Later...

I fear Grow a Garden's entire premise was ruined for me less than 30 minutes in when I was given a gigantic watermelon by another player, which then turned out to be worth 800,000 sheckles. I was still barely scraping 1,000 from my handful of strawberry and blueberry bushes, and in a flash the joys of 'number go bigger' had been felled at the hands of a kind stranger.Even before...
