Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Malware has been the bane of everyone's online existence, because it serves as the easiest back-door entry for perpetrators of cybercrime and thievery. Google is usually on its toes, keeping the Play Store free of nefarious apps and ensuring prompt delivery of Android security patches, but some attackers manage to stay ahead of the curve and still steal money or personal information from victims. One such malware was recently caught in the wild targeting Android devices, stealing all financial data on them, and then wiping them clean.

Jupiter Hell Classic is the demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake of a famous 1993 FPS shooter. Rip and Tear!. Confused yet? You should be. Developer ChaosForge made DRL, which was originally called DoomRL until they had a legal issue. A fast and furious coffee-break roguelike game, that is heavily inspired by the popular FPS game Doom. Later, they made their own proper IP with Jupiter Hell, one of my all-time favourite roguelikes for it's awesome movement system as well as the fun action.

Chicago Food King

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.
