New Magic The Gathering set release revives Black Lotus

There’s a new Magic The Gathering (MTG) cart set in the world this week called Theros Beyond Death, and it’s got 250 new cards. There is no Black Lotus in this set – yet the card (and a few other original hero cards) will return for a temporary time thanks to the set’s release, trailer style. They’ll appear in an event called The Game Awards After Party, an event about which Wizards of the Coast suggests: “We’ve never tried anything like this before!”

Google Stadia Review: Amazing, for now

When this Google Stadia Review was first posted, the service hadn’t yet formally launched. Google sent the Founders Package to a set of sources that got an early look and were invited to review the game streaming system before the official Google Stadia release date of November 19, 2019. As such, we gave the service an early once-over review with what we’d experienced thus far. As the service evolves, we’ll be updating this review accordingly – so stay tuned!
