It's been over three decades since The Secret of Monkey Island graced the PC with a lovable would-be pirate, clever puzzles, and the distinct humor that was a staple of Lucasfilm (and later LucasArts) adventure games.

I really like my Apple Watch Series 7, and for a variety of reasons. If I were able to take a mulligan on purchasing it a little over a month ago, however, I might bite though not because I'm unhappy with it for any reason.

When we evaluated how many CPU cores you need for a great gaming experience, our benchmark data showed that a 6-core/12-thread processor was the sweet spot.
