    Add Ted Lasso to the list of TV shows getting the Barbie treatment. Mattel’s offering three Barbie dolls based on the show’s wholesome characters. You can choose from Coach Ted, BFF Keeley, or the one I need, brick shith— err— AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Walton. The dolls are available right now, but it seems the Diamond Dogs have snapped them up already.

    I’ve got the need... for Shibe.

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 is two months away. Though the schedule isn’t yet finalized, you can see the list of games that will be run here. Perusing the list, one run stands out in particular: a speedrun of the NES game Gyromite... performed by a dog.

    Yes, an actual dog will speedrun a game at AGDQ 2024. Though this will be done remotely, I have never been more excited to see a speedrun in my entire life.
