Chris is a writer and editor with well over a decade of experience, with gaming – and especially card games – among his main areas of focus. The Pokémon TCG first introduced him to collectible card games before Magic: The Gathering became a full-blown obsession in the early 2000s. He remains immersed in those fields while also dabbling in RPGs and roguelikes (especially roguelike deckbuilders), and writing on topics related to gaming, music, sports, and entertainment for a variety of outlets including EDHREC, CardSphere, ComicBook.com, FanSided, TheGamer, MTGStocks, ClutchPoints, and more. His interests tend to circle back to the same things: strong design, memorable games, interesting history, and the occasional absurdly expensive piece of cardboard.

Few things in modern life are as convenient as a good surge protector. That small, narrow strip can literally protect thousands of dollars' worth of equipment, especially if you have a PC gaming setup or extensive home office equipment. Most basic plug-in surge protectors use components called metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), a fancy term for components that take the brunt of excess voltage and redirect it. Unfortunately, MOVs degrade over time, with or without voltage surges, and repeated spikes expedite an MOV surge protector's life cycle.
Great cover-based shooting with terrific multiplayer. Shame the main campaign is an exhausting, endless firefight that outstays its welcome.
