In the 1980s and ’90s golden age of point-and-click adventure classics, we were blessed with what has since developed into decades of self-referential comedy, iconic puzzle set-ups, and satisfying inventory management. LucasArts (now Lucasfilm Games) came in strong, furnishing us with family-friendly releases like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and Day of the Tentacle; Revolution Software’s […]
Between asteroid strikes and new species of anaconda, rapidly expanding craters in Siberia and rivers turning orange in Alaska, something about the world and how we understand it is always changing. One of the things that we can count on though, is Atlas Obscura’s community of contributors sharing the stories behind the wondrous, awe-inspiring, and […]
Sure we’re biased, but we feel industrial design covers a range unmatched by any other design field. The sheer breadth of the ID case studies we saw this year attests to that. Look at the sheer range of items your average ID firm might be called on to design: […]

Sure, you could just open your Notes app, but physically writing something down helps you remember and learn more. It also […]
As holidays go, New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite parties. I love the glitter, the stupid glasses and hats, and the traditions, but most of all, I love the food. The best holiday fare is snackable, shareable, and often hand-held—all among my favorite food descriptors. As someone who truly enjoys the vibrant and […]
We may earn a commission from links on this page. I review a lot of smart home tech, and my home is often full of robots rolling on the floor, voice assistants talking, and notifications chiming from my phone. Most smart home devices have a short lifespan in my house—once they’re tested, they’re out the […]
Back in March, I gave Dragon’s Dogma 2 a 7/10. This came with no short amount of second-guessing and hand-wringing. Review score discourse is a cyclical, circular mire that’s more trouble than it’s worth, and I’m not about to wade into it here. Suffice it to say that PCGN, like every publication, has a review […]
