Hey there, my fellow tech-loving friends! As we approach the long weekend of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share a few cool things that you can play and watch to make the most of your time off. Trust me, I know how tempting it is to just lounge on the couch and mindlessly scroll through your phone, but why not add some excitement to your weekend with these recommendations?

First up, let’s talk about a streaming show that has captured my attention – Scavengers Reign. This show is a delightful mix of silliness, scares, and strangeness. Set on an alien planet, it’s the bizarre alien life that steals the spotlight here. From hypnotic killer monkeys to aquatic egg-eating monstrosities, each episode is filled with mind-bending creatures. And the art style? Absolutely gorgeous! It feels like a classic pulp comic come to life. You can stream all 12 episodes on Max right now.

If you’re in the mood for something animated, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a must-watch on Netflix. While it may not be the straightforward adaptation some fans were hoping for, Takes Off remixes the story in exciting ways. It gives other characters besides Scott their time to shine. Plus, the animation by Science Saru and the music by Anamanaguchi are simply incredible. The entire eight-episode season is available for streaming.

For all you gamers out there, I’ve got a suggestion that won’t take up your entire weekend – Super Mario RPG on the Nintendo Switch. This role-playing game is not your typical RPG. Yes, it has all the elements you’d expect – battles, gear, and an epic quest – but it’s also incredibly welcoming to newcomers. With its charming Super Mario humor and streamlined gameplay, you can complete the main game in around 13 hours. Perfect for a weekend gaming session!

If you’re short on time but still crave an immersive experience, I highly recommend The Invincible. Available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, this hard sci-fi adventure is reminiscent of games like Gone Home or Firewatch. As you explore a harsh alien world, you’ll find yourself pulled into a gripping mystery. It’s like diving into an engrossing sci-fi short story, offering around six hours of gameplay that won’t overstay their welcome.

Now, here’s one that you won’t be able to finish just yet – Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Streaming on Apple TV Plus, this Godzilla spinoff series is still ongoing. But fear not, because now is the perfect time to catch up! With its cool monsters and surprisingly interesting human characters, Monarch gets a lot of things right. Sure, the name might not be the best, but the show itself is definitely worth your time.

So there you have it, my friends – a handful of recommendations to make your long weekend a little more exciting. Whether you choose to dive into a strange alien world, embark on an epic RPG quest, or get lost in a thrilling streaming show, I hope these suggestions bring you joy and entertainment. Enjoy your Thanksgiving break!
