With its charming sense of humor and near endless amounts of well-constructed chaos, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is almost impossible to put down…I just wish that experience were easier to share with others ― The original Tomodachi Life on the 3DS was one of those games that completely flew under the radar for me, and while I remember being pretty impressed with some of the Miis I saw people sho...

The title does not lie: this really is a torture to watch. Just not in the way you’d think it is. ― The problem with The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer is not that it's too dark to be funny.

The main joke of the show is that it juxtaposes ...
