2022 has been a year chock-full of severe weather worldwide, from heat waves and drought to hurricanes and floods. Even as we reach the end of December, the weather extremes haven’t let up.
On last week’s Willow, the Bone Reavers spoke about the horrors of the underground mountain home of the trolls called Skellin, and I really, really wanted to see it.

Because what video gaming test would be complete without playing Doom, Mr. Volt fires up Doom Eternal for some gameplay footage on the tiny display, somehow managing to actually play without a giant magnifying glass between him and the monitor.
I remember when I was a kid, we used to sit with our noses practically against the glass of our old CRT television playing Nintendo, so I guess this is just the natural progression of things.
