I Can’t Stop Playing Duolingo Chess

I’m embarrassed to admit this in my mid-forties, but I’ve never understood chess well enough to play a full game. My son and daughter both learned how to play in elementary school. I was glad they had that experience. I tried to pick up the game when they did, but, as a busy mom of three little kids, I just didn’t have the time, the interest, or the stamina to really sit down and learn.

Netflix’s ‘Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’ Brings Sam Fisher Out of Retirement

Pokémon looks scary again in the new Z-A trailer

One of the most brilliant things about Pokémon Legends: Arceus was the way it dropped you into the wilderness to fend for yourself as wild monsters tried to kill you. It was a surprising deviation from the franchise’s typically chill vibe that complimented the game’s story about how humans once lived in constant fear of pokémon.
