The 10 best video games of 2024 (so far)

At its midpoint, 2024 has been an incredible year for playing video games.

Emphasis on playing because it needs to be said that it is not a great time to work in video games. Massive layoffs have ravaged the industry in recent months, leaving many talented people without consistent sources of income. I'm not here to bum you out, but I just needed to make sure we were on the same page about that.

Anyway, back to the part where 2024 has been excellent for playing games. The following 10 titles...

'Tuesday' review: An annoying fairy tale that will make you yearn for Death's sweet embrace

Daina O. Pusi?'s directorial feature-length debut Tuesday is a confoundingly bad work of cinema. The story of a mother who can't accept her ailing daughter's impending demise, and the bird-like personification of Death who arrives to teach them lessons about moving on, it has all the makings of a gentle fairytale about loss. However, it ends up visually, narratively, and tonally janky at every possible turn.

It's the kind of film that, though it has a handful of deft ideas, seems poised for...

The best memes of 2024 (so far)

Memes are becoming an increasingly rare breed on the internet. (Thanks, Elon.)

You see, though Elon Musk — Tesla billionaire and head of X Twitter — might consider himself a meme lord, he's done more than anyone to kill the genre. Musk has fractured the user base from Twitter's halcyon posting days and has generally made the platform less usable, unreliable, more prone to conspiracy, and a less enjoyable place to hang out online.
