Mets Off to Blazing Start
Several teams are off to surprisingly good starts, but among NL teams — other than the Padres — perhaps no club has opened more eyes early on than the New York Mets.

Blu-ray Review: IMAX Pandas
There’s some late drama as well, as the transition to the wild isn’t as successful as the team had hoped, forcing Owens to return to China (after a contrived scene of him running and then “getting the phone call”) to track down Qian Qian. The film never really clues you in as to what went wrong, or what the results mean for the future, but suffice to say the effort to acclimate Qian Qian wasn’t a rousing success.

The Wire Troll: Another Young Astro Bat on the Horizon
Pinder is looking like a decent Fantasy option — especially in DFS play (against lefties) while his salary is low. He’s hit safely in five straight games, and the first four of those were all multi-hit efforts. Pinder is showing some impressive power, doubling in three straight and homering three times so far this season, helping making up for a lack of speed. He doesn’t walk, but he’s not striking out, either, and best of all, he’s finally showing he can hit righties a bit better (.269). Pinder may still be a utility player, bouncing around the field, but he’s getting lots of chances to start this year and the way he’s playing he could cement his role early on.

2018-19 NBA Wire Troll All-Star Team
Robinson is putting an exclamation mark on a fire rookie season, scoring in double figures in each of the last four games, recording two double-doubles and just missing another pair. On Sunday, he played a career high 38 minutes while putting up multiple blocks for the 28th straight game. Robinson is averaging a double-double with 2.8 blocks and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games. Although we identified him early in the season, it really took until February for him to start consistently seeing enough minutes to become a Fantasy staple, but he’s been a real asset since the All-Star Game, getting to the line more often and doing a way better job on the glass.

Video Game Review: GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition
When you embark on your first mission, you’ll probably feel afloat — both figuratively and literally. There’s a bit of a learning curve involved as you fly around space. For us, it took somewhere around two hours to really get comfortable with how it handles, but once we did we could maneuver around with precision.

Video Game Review: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
At the heart of combat is a system built on breaking an opponent’s posture as you attempt to open them to a killing blow rather than slash away for damage. This is done via a mix of attacking and defending with properly timed deflections serving as the most effective way to expose a foe for the kill. Finding the sweet spot with an enemy’s attack takes practice, and if you’re too late you’ll absorb a hit — blocking wards off blows, but your own posture erodes with each strike.

2018-19 NHL Wire Troll All-Star Team
Vegas gave some of its younger players a chance to shine this season, and none of them excelled like Tuch did. Although he cooled a bit in the second half, from November through the end of January he was fantastic, scoring 14 goals with 23 assists for 37 points over a 35-game span. If you took our advice in Week Four and rode Tuch over that stretch, kudos to you. For the season, he reached 20 goals for the first time, becoming a key man on the Knights’ third line. Man, the Wild must be kicking itself for losing such a big, talented kid like this.
