True, the medium isn’t overflowing with 100-hour RPGs and lavishly-produced shooters, but there are absolutely more than enough titles out there now to satisfy a wide variety of gamers whether they like online sports, mind-bending puzzles or walking simulators. The fact is that whether you own an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PSVR or otherwise, you’ve got plenty to play. But where should you spend your hard-earned cash?

As the purveyors of the fictional Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino on the band’s album of the same name, shape-shifting rock vagabonds Arctic Monkeys don’t seem particularly keen on over-booking the joint. At a deliberately humdrum pace, Alex Turner serves as the haughty tour guide to the futuristic venue on lead single "Four Out of Five," throwing out buzz phrases like “it’s the place to go” with a detachment that reads like a “I went to the lunar resort and all I got was this t-shirt” souvenir. It’s a melancholic commentary on our Yelp-dependent society that would predictably lead many to get nitpicky at a marvel of human progress. – B.K.

Here’s a timeline of what to expect from the winter storm this weekend, and more snowy weather during the week. (Get the latest forecast here).

In July 1961, an IBM RAMAC computer had just been installed in the basement of Old City Hall in Richmond. The RAMAC featured a hard disk drive, which was a significant development in modern computing and storage.

Discovery Season 1 goes all out on something different – “No that’s not Star Trek! It’s too extreme and different!” Discovery Season 2 tries a classic Star Trek plot device – “Tired story! Overused trope!”

Overall, this is EXACTLY why I preached patience to those who didn’t enjoy Season 1 as much as I did.

I, too, was a bit put off by this turbolift thing; it seemed like CGI for CGI’s sake. Plus, if Tilly had to relegate some on-board scientist to a storage closet to make room for Stamets and his spores, why so much empty space …? As Ruschmeyer says, it did seem like a tribute to Giant Engineering from the KT Enterprise.

“New Eden” is another in a long tradition of Star Trek episodes that wrestled with Starfleet’s first commandment, General Order One, better known as the Prime Directive. With the Discovery breaking out of local space and doing some far frontier exploring this was bound to come up, with the interesting twist that even with humans from Earth, rules are rules and pre-warp means no-interference. Captain Pike leads the way, showing he is very much of a by-the-book kind of leader, perhaps even showing he may be rigid to a fault.

Saru took a direct action to stop their extinction. See also “Pen Pals” and “Homeward.” Both were considered violations of the Prime Directive. The PD is about not interfering in a planet’s natural history, which includes natural disasters. And Kirk got in trouble not just for being seen in STID, he was there to survey the planet. He took matters into his own hands and violated the prime directive when he realized a volcano would kill them all.

This September 1967 image shows Bob Griggs, a.k.a. Sailor Bob from the popular “Sailor Bob Show.” The children’s show, which featured Griggs’ puppet creations and his drawing board, ran for a decade on WRVA-TV starting in 1959 and inspired thousands of fan letters per month.
