Something Borrowed
I think any series totally bereft of comedy cannot sustain and we’ve had two very heavy episodes of Torchwood in a row. The chuckles during those death-centric episodes are minor at best. Then we come to Something Borrowed and things change. … Continue reading

As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan of the video game platform Steam. It’s my go-to for all games. But Epic Games has been doing some really impressive things since Covid kicked in and one of those things is … Continue reading
