You’ll Soon Have 700 Netflix Originals to Choose From

Which is an astonishing number, and one which actually fills me with dread. Netflix used to be filled with old TV shows and movies that had already aired elsewhere.

The ESRB Defends Loot Boxes in Video Games

After months of controversy surrounding loot boxes, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has finally broached the subject. However, the ESRB, which assigns age ratings to video games in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, is defending the use of loot boxes. Loot boxes, AKA loot crates, have been a thing for a while now. They’re essentially sealed virtual boxes gamers can open to reveal the goodies inside. Sometimes loot boxes are awarded as prizes, but sometimes gamers have to purchase them. And that’s problematic. The ESRB Weighs In The ESRB has been silent on the issue since the release of...
