What Is the Legacy of NXT’s Black and Gold Era? (Part 2)

NXT WarGames, which took place on December 5th, 2021, was the first major NXT event to not carry the “TakeOver” name since NXT Arrival in 2014. That would have been significant in and of itself, but the main event of the show also saw “Team 2.0” defeat “Team Black and…

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves is an Excellent Reminder We Don’t Need More Uncharted

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is an oddity. Even after joyously replaying Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, the entries it includes, packaging the two final games of a series without the three games that came before is a strange thing to put on a store…
