In Gotham Knights, Batman is dead. “Like, dead-dead,” as WB Montreal put it during our preview, and in his place comes four sub-heroes: Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing and Red Hood. These are, barring any surprises, who you will play as in Gotham Knights. I played as three of them in the preview - Batgirl and Red Hood in early game scenarios, and Robin for a late-game mission and boss fight - and I can now say with confidence that they are… fine....

Never one to shy away from showing some sass, Nate has a hilarious quip for every situation....

GameStop’s third fiscal quarter ended on November 3rd, and things did not go well for the gaming giant. The most troubling number was that of the net income, which showed a net loss of $488.6 million.

That’s quite a blow, considering that used games is sort of GameStop’s thing....

This article contains spoilers for Lucifer. When I first came to Geeks Vs Loneliness as a reader I was in a precarious place. Up to my waist in the quicksand of grief.
