Summary Although at this point, I’ve lost any realistic expectation forThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princessto re-release on the Nintendo Switch, there’s an odd reason that keeps me foolishly hoping for a surprise announcement:I’ve only ever played the game backwards. While I should probably justlet go ofTwilight Princesson Switchcompletely, there’s always the chance – if slim – that it could finally return on the still yet to be officially named Switch 2....

The Golden Bachelorettestar Joan Vassos went on the show hoping to find the second love of her life, and while Chock Chapple may fit the bill,I’m convinced Joan’s so swept up in her emotions that she’s leaving her family behind. ThroughoutThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1, Joan’s connections with most of the guys in her cast were interesting to watch. As the season progressed, it became clear that she had a few front-runners, including Chock....
