Even now, in 2018 during Christmas-time, the characters are still seen in stores, on television specials, and the music is played on radios all over the place. “Let it Go” has become synonymous with the film, and you can’t even say the phrase without someone bursting out into song....

When I woke up this morning, I knew something was going to go wrong. There was an icy wind. Ravens gathered at my windows. Old ladies shrieked at the sight of me in the streets. (Okay, that’s not new.) Now I know why: We have the utterly gargantuan Dota 2 7.23 patch, The Outlanders, and I need to find a way to parse it and write about it.
