Danger: NFTs – DLC Has Levelled Up
There’s a very important topic of conversation that is getting buried behind Digital Foundry videos, arguments about whose console loads the fastest and hype for games that probably don’t exist. NFTs are confusing, mysterious and coming to the game industry at a rate of knots. It’s time to be very afraid. Why should you be worried?

And once again, DLC wrapped into a service has saved me money. And this time, I'm shocked to say it's Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Update 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise First Thoughts
The Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 update came out on Wednesday night, surprising everyone. And then the Happy Home Paradise DLC came out on Friday. Now that they both are here and I’ve played them some, here are my first thoughts on these new additions to the game. Back when Animal Crossing New Horizons came out, I gave the game a 10 out of 10.

In late 2019, my wife and I had the pleasure of reviewing the Roomba i7+, a fantastic little robot that was billed as a product that would free us up to do other things rather than vacuum. And with a self-empty system in the charge base, it was supposed to be a hassle free addition to our home. And once we figured out how to properly use the Roomba, it really was. When iRobot came back to us this year…
