According to the December 2018 NPD report, Red Dead Redemption 2 was the best-selling game in 2018 in the United States, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was the best-selling game of December.

It’s been a close race between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 earning the title of best-selling game of the year, as Black Ops 4 beat RDR2 out as the best-selling game of October while RDR2 won out in November. As of November Black Ops 4 had been the best-selling game of the year, though their positions have ultimately switched.

It’s funny to think that Season 4 of Syfy’s The Magicians will find our titular heroes decidedly magic-less. But that’s exactly the kind of genre subversion that the Sera Gamble and John McNamara-created series (based on the Lev Grossman novels) excels at. Over the course of its three previous seasons, the show has grown exponentially from its origins (arguably for the better) – by creating a rich, layered, nuanced look at personal issues and societal themes through the story of a group of foul-mouthed, pop culture-savvy millennial twentysomethings, the magic of the show is boundless.

It’s also twisty-turny, and full of insane surprises; few shows approach their storytelling with such playful, insightful, and bonkers aplomb – describing the series as a grown-up Harry Potter or Narnia fails to do justice to its creativity. When it comes to being entertained, thrilled, and forced to think, The Magicians will throw you up against a wall, sing you something sweet, and leave you reeling. It’s one of the smartest shows on TV, the Stefon of TV series, the kind of show Beck from Netflix’s You would’ve guilty-pleasure watched when she wasn’t making questionable dating choices (the two series both count Sera Gamble as their showrunner, and it shows).

Over the weekend, a charity stream of Donkey Kong 64 raised over $347,000 and included a notable guest appearance from New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The stream was held by English YouTube personality Hbomberguy (Harry Brewis) to raise funds for Mermaids, a British charity that supports gender diverse and transgender youth in the UK. Though his initial goal was to raise $500 during the stream, he ultimately raised over $347,000 as evidenced by the final tally of his twitch stream.

Brewis announced the stream on YouTube on January 14, saying he chose to stream Donkey Kong 64 because he never beat the game as a kid, even after playing a single save file for nearly 60 hours. As to why Brewis picked Mermaids, he said “I chose to support this charity because, as a person living in Britain, I find the media discussion surrounding

Warning: full spoilers for The Flash, Season 5, Episode 11 below. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review of Season 5, Episode 10.

The Flash’s recent 100th episode wasn’t quite everything it could have been. Looking back, the most frustrating thing about “What’s Past Is prologue” is that it didn’t take the opportunity to neatly wrap up the Cicada storyline. What initially seemed like a dramatic final battle between Team Flash and their current nemesis instead became one more skirmish in an ongoing war. At this point, Cicada comes across as little more than a stalling mechanism until the show is ready to dive headlong into the far more compelling Nora/Eobard Thawne alliance. “Seeing Red” did little to counteract that perception.
