This time, it’s at a stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. So it’s following in a really funny way — but definitely still terrifying. It’s an honor to be there … and I’m going to do my best.R...
Gamer Gets Shocked By Lightning Strike Through His Wired Controller
A gamer has been shocked through his wired controller by a lightning strike this past weekend. The freak accident took place on late Saturday night to early Sunday morning when the National Weather Service posted on social media that a man “was reportedly struck by lightning inside his home through a video game controller” during a storm in Robertson County, Tennessee.

The highly anticipated PlayStation title Horizon Forbidden West has reportedly been delayed until 2022. According to Bloomberg, Sony has decided to push back its release date from this year’s holiday season to the first quarter of next year.

Lollapalooza 2021 Day 4 Recap: An Un-Foo-Gettable Closing Night
Ah, Day 4: when your sunburn is peeling, your blisters have blisters, and the greasy food has eaten away at both bank account and stomach. In any year, attending a four-day music festival can cease to be a privilege and instead feel like survival horror. But that’s doubly true during pandemic-era Lollapalooza, where every crush of the crowd could’ve brought the wrong particles wafting towards your lungs. It would have been easy to check out, pack up, and go home. Some good fucking music made that impossible. The 2021 festival ended with a walloping set by one of the most iconic rock bands of their generation, Foo Fighters. Some would argue that the Foos have over 200 great songs, while some might say four, and that’s pushing it. But all must admit that their live presence is undeniable. Da...
