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.

Earlier this week, Microsoft shut down the Xbox 360’s digital store, effectively putting the final nail in the beloved console’s coffin. While it’s a shame that the nearly 20-year-old console’s marketplace is gone, it doesn’t take away from the Xbox 360’s legacy as a popular, innovative, and weird machine that paved the way for the current era of gaming.

Popular streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has returned to the public eye a little over a month after admitting he sent “inappropriate” messages to a minor on Twitch. The controversial character, who was permanently banned from the platform on June 26, 2020, admitted in a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter) on June 25 of this year that his ban was the result of “whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017.” Beahm ended the message by saying he was going on an “extended vacation” with his family.

Netflix shows rarely get a second season, so mercurial is the streamer with its big-budget gambles. So it’s a rare treat to learn that not only is Squid Game’s second season now set to hit screens of all sizes this holiday season, but a third (and final) season will be released in 2025.

In 2024, a new product category popped up among wireless internet providers: Reduced-capacity plans at lower prices than their standard home or traveling internet plans — targeting home and business users who want a backup option in case their primary broadband service fails. First up was T-Mobile Home Internet Backup, a 5G cellular service that offers 130GB of transfer per month at a monthly fee of $20 to $40 depending on if you use autopay or are a T-Mobile voice customer. With the hardware included for free, that's not a bad deal for some extra peace of mind. And now, one of T-Mobile's biggest competitors in wireless broadband, Elon Musk's satellite-based internet service provider, Starlink, has introduced the smaller Starlink Mini hardware and a related $50, 50GB Mini Roam plan.

Today, Bungie announced that it was laying off 220 employees, or approximately 17 percent of its workforce. The news, which comes on the heels of a successful expansion launch with Destiny 2: The Final Shape in June and another round of layoffs late last year, has prompted former employees and players alike to criticize Bungie’s leadership.

Twister, the 1996 action movie whose sequel, Twisters, kicked off Hot Glen Powell Summer 2024, is getting the 4DX treatment. If you’re not aware of what 4DX is, it’s a movie format specific to Regal Cinemas whereby the theater chairs rock, shake, and rattle along with action, water sprays in your face, wind whips your hair, and more. It’s like a Disney ride but during a movie, and seeing Twisters in this format was, as I’ve said, like a religious experience.
