It's that perfect blend of corny and scary
This free-to-stream zombie horror classic is creepy, cheesy, and totally worth revisiting
Image: Paramount/courtesy Everett CollectionWhen I was a kid, Tim Curry’s Pennywise the Clown scared the Hell out of me. With that cackling, gravelly voice, that bizarre, bulbous head, and the way he would just appear out of nowhere, Pennywise gave me nightmares at an age where I was definitely too young to watch. But when I revisited the movie decades later, I realized that, while Curry’s performance was still terrifying, the 1990 ABC TV movie that contained it was kind of terrible. The acting was often hokey and melodramatic while the non-Pennywise scares were all very lame — not boring, just corny.

Image: Netflix via PolygonMartial arts manga and anime have been in decline for the past 40 years, ever since Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama realized that the more energy beams and other supernatural feats one added to the template, the more people seemed to like it.

My first 40 days in Moonlight Peaks started off with juicy feuds, but its anemic character writing is starting to show through
A new farm sim has launched today and, as is tradition, cozy game enjoyers gather round to ask each other: Is Moonlight Peaks worth it? I'm about 40 days (nights, actually) into my playthrough, so it'll be just a bit longer before I can deliver our scored review, but I want to give some early impressions to help all my fellow farm simmers figure out if this month's flavor is one to take a bite out of.

The games industry reacts to Xbox layoffs: 'We are clearly at a turning point'
The latest mass layoff at Xbox will see roughly 3,200 people lose their jobs—1,600 today, and 1,600 more over the next fiscal year—and four game studios turned loose into the forest: Compulsion and Double Fine as independents, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs under new ownership. It's bad no matter how you look at it, a reflection of flailing leadership at Microsoft and a dreadful state of affairs for the game industry as a whole.
