Ambidextrous mice like the Corsair M55 RGB Pro face an uphill battle; they’ve got to serve two masters at once with very different needs. The M55 may just pull it off, though. While Corsair’s latest isn’t the best gaming mouse you can get your hands on, it offers good value …

Well, that’s it. Game of Thrones is over after eight years, and I don’t blame you if Game of Thrones season 8 leaves a slightly bad taste in your mouth. While it has its good moments, most of this season is simply too rushed, with characters taking minutes to make …

Talk about a date with destiny. After 11 years and 21 movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, oh-so-carefully crafted for all of its seismic superhero smackdowns, enters its, well, endgame with Avengers: Endgame.

Read More »Hellboy review: “The disjointed end product positively reeks of studio interference”

After a blast from the past last week, Star Trek Discovery season 2 (opens in new tab) slows things down a little for episode 9, Project Daedalus, and takes some time to develop another of its secondary characters. While it’s a joy to get to know another of Discovery’s little-known …
