    Check out these Baron steals.

    The League of Legends World Championship finals were this weekend, and the competition was absolutely wild — and I’m not just talking about Lil Nas X’s performance.

    The best-of-five match-up between T1 and DRX went the distance, with plenty of thrilling moments, including multiple Baron steals from T1 that dramatically changed the shape of the series. Ultimately, DRX managed to pull out the win, ending Faker’s chance at another Worlds title. If you missed it on Saturday night, check out these highlights.

    This week’s entertainment releases get a little... weird.

    Or at least one of them does. The hilarious Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is on The Roku Channel, while Enola Holmes 2 brings some classic family-friendly action energy to Netflix. Elsewhere, Sega has released two pieces of mini retro hardware (if you can get your hands on them) and, well, we just can’t stop playing Marvel Snap.

    It’s alone spelled backwards.

    Sherlock’s kid sister is back in the sequel to Enola Holmes, which hits Netflix today. It’s the kind of charming action movie that’s becoming increasingly rare of late, making it perfect for a family movie night.

    Sega is keeping mini consoles alive

    The company has two new tiny devices, the Astro Mini City V and the Sega Genesis Mini 2, that prove there’s still a place for miniaturized classics.

    “It’s coming soon, hopefully.”

    The smash hit card game Marvel Snap is getting an important new feature: the ability to play with friends.

    “We are very eager to have some form of friendly match or friendly battle where you can play against your friend or someone streaming,” associate design director Kent-Erik Hagman told The Verge’s Ash Parrish in a recent interview. “It’s coming soon, hopefully.”

    Dare to be stupid.

    I saw a lot of movies at TIFF this year, but only one had me in actual tears of laughter — which was especially surprising since it starred Daniel Radcliffe. You can finally check it out for yourself tomorrow (November 4th) when the completely ridiculous Weird: The Al Yankovic Story starts streaming on The Roku Channel.
