<p>Hello, boils and ghouls. It’s nearly that spooky time of year. You know the night I’m talking about. That magical night where it’s actually legal to put on a costume and demand candy from strangers! Or, depending on your age, perhaps it’s the night you’ll see a dozen drunken Harley Quinns at a friend’s party. Or, if you’re past all that, you simply know it as the night that pushy, costumed children continually interrupt your gaming session with the doorbell, demanding candy. Whatever your age, Halloween is a magical time, isn’t it?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been playing:</p>
