QVC is actually offering an excellent deal on Arcade1Up’s Partycade, which includes 8 games in 1. You can save over $90, and grab it for $210 with $10 for shipping and handling. It’s a Countercade unit that can either sit on a countertop or bar, or you can mount it to the wall — and it comes with mounting hardware. Both the Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man variants are on sale.

Nevermind Atari’s new video game themed hotels, with an Arcade1Up cabinet you don’t even have to leave your home to play some classic games. What’s more, the Arcade1Up Partycade includes 8 games in 1, or rather it’s 8 machines in one small Countercade unit.

The included games are as follows:

  • Pac-Man: Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug, Xevious, and Mappy
  • Ms. Pac-Man: Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Dig Dug 2, Pac & Pal, Pac-Man Plus, Galaxy, Galaxian, and Dig Dug

As you can see, both include 8 games each. Most, if not all games, support one or two players. You’ll get a unique on-screen game selection menu when the machine boots up, with coinless operation, and an easy-start system. The volume is adjustable, with a 17-inch color LCD screen to show all the action. Each arcade cabinet has original artwork on the exterior in the style you choose, with a clear deck protector included to keep the main player section safe and clean. The unit can mount on a wall, on the back of a door, or it can rest on a tabletop or counter — entirely up to you. The mounting hardware is included, you’ll just need the tools to hang it.

Normally $300, QVC is offering the Arcade1Up Partycade for $210 with $10 for shipping and handling. That’s over $90 off, and the total cost can be spread across financed payments if you prefer. If you love classic arcade games and want to add an arcade cabinet to your home, this is one of the best ways to go.

Bob Odenkirk is back for another action adventure
Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2

Before Bob Odenkirk turned in a seminal performance of TV's prestige era playing Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, he was most known for his comedy chops. People were surprised to see him step out of his comfort zone in the world of drama television, but it helped usher in a new reputation for the veteran, everyman star.

Odenkirk got to play an action hero in 2021's Nobody, and the sequel is finally on the way. Nobody 2 might just be one of the best movies of the summer. Here is everything we know about it so far, from the cast to the trailer and the release date.

9 shows to watch if you love The Walking Dead
AMC's zombie show was a phenomenon. These shows will help you revisit that thrill
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception. By the middle of the decade, Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series was the most popular program on basic cable TV. It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs.

Undead monsters aren't the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of the entire group made for thrilling, adrenaline-filled episodes that other shows had a hard time matching. We have the best shows like The Walking Dead to watch next if you love the binge-worthiness of world-ending drama in this comic book adaptation.
