When I saw the trailer for the Clown in a Cornfield movie earlier this year I couldn't believe it was real. I was even MORE surprised to learn that it was based on a book! I enjoyed these more than I thought it would. Fun, YA slashers.

I need Half Life 3 to be announced because the "Half Life 3 was announced/came out before GTA 6" memes are going to be fantastic
If Half-Life 3 does indeed get announced, what then?
If we do indeed find ourselves face to face with this white whale of video games, will we truly have succeeded? Or will it only pull us into the abyss?
Herein only madness reigns.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
