Life on Venus, Sid Meier's Civilisation & Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles

Take a look at the phosphine, clouding in the atmos. Oh man, wonder if we'll ever know, It's the craziest news, is there life on Venus?

It's been a long time since Sid Meier first put keyboard to code, but these days he thinks he wouldn't even play his seminal work, Civilisation, if it hadn't been created nearly 30 years ago. Is he a boomer saying kids have no taste, or does he have a point?

Rick Riordan hates the movie adaptations of Percy Jackson. Netflix have brought him on to make a new TV series based on his Kane Chronicles books. Let's see if he goes the distance or if he gets pushed out like the Avatar writers did.

This week DJ tried Ubisoft's new Cyberpunk Battle Royale, and Professor fell over himself to try the new Fall Guys level variations and obliterated space fleets in Star Realms.
