This article contains The Expanse spoilers. The reunion of the Rocinante crew (minus one) and Avasarala’s return to power provided some measure of resolution in The Expanse season 5 finale, but even with season 6 being the final outing for the show, the story of the protomolecule is far from over. Showrunner Naren Shankar helped shed some light on those final moments, including the nature of Laconia and the status of several characters whose arcs are ongoing....

This article contains Miami Connection spoilers Friends through eternity. Loyalty. Honesty. These are the core tenants of Dragon Sound, a rock and roll band made up of black belts in Tae Kwon Do who also happen to all be orphans. Ridiculous? Yes. But it’s that sort of excessive cheese that makes Miami Connection such a wonderful movie, and not in an ironic way. If you know anything about Miami Connection, you probably learned about it from a lover of “so bad, it’s good” movies....

We have reached the calm before the storm. There is only one more week left of October, and that will see the release of games like Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Watch Dogs: Legion. After that, we will reach November and the era of the next-gen consoles, as well as the release of some unknown indie game, Cyber something. TheGamer has been playing and dissecting each of the major new titles as they have been released....

This article contains mild spoilers for The King’s Man. It doesn’t matter what you thought of the previous Kingsman movies directed by Matthew Vaughn. Nor is it particularly important what you think of the new film’s trailers and overall concept about a goofy spy adventure set during World War I. Believe it or not, the one crucial thing you need to understand about The King’s Man is it has the most delightfully batshit fight scene you’ll see at the cinema this year....

The not-so-innocent Ellie we knew in 2013 is now a young adult on The Last of Us Part II. As the game progresses, Ellie has to make some close calls and tough choices that eventually lead to her fate at the end of the game. On this list, we’re looking back at both games and choosing our picks of five times when Joel went too far and five times when Ellie did....

It goes without saying that some of the biggest monsters in The Last of Us Part 2 and its predecessor are the humans. However, that doesn’t mean that Naughty Dog’s latest doesn’t have more than a few monstrous tricks up its sleeve. The Last of Us Part 2 sees a lot of The Infected from the first game make a return and thanks to the PlayStation 4’s capabilities look more monstrous and disgusting than ever before....

Heart Pieces in The Legend of Zelda series have been a staple prize since the earliest days of the franchise, often being rewards for players exploring the world of Hyrule or simply engaging in a time-wasting mini-game. A Link Between Worlds, the successor to the SNES classic A Link to the Past, brings these prizes back, with a total of 28 Heart Pieces being scattered across both Hyrule and Lorule....

The Mafia Twitter account just tweeted for the first time in almost two years to say just one word: “Family.” Admittedly, Mafia’s Twitter account normally doesn’t have much to say. It’s not an ongoing “game as a service” title, so once Mafia III’s litany of DLC came to end, 2K Games let the Twitter account go dormant. That is, until Mother’s Day when it spontaneously sprang back to life to utter a single word....

Last night, the first trailer for Star Wars Battlefront 2 was leaked to the internet, giving us our first glimpse at what the sequel has to offer. The clip focuses in on the game’s single-player campaign, which looks set to star the character that narrates the commercial. We know that this character was an Imperial pilot at the time of the Battle of Endor, which took place at the conclusion of Return of the Jedi....

Start saving up your credits because the Star Wars hotel, Galactic Starcruiser, will begin taking reservations later this year for its 2021 opening, according to a Disney press release. While the House of Mouse hasn’t yet revealed how much it’ll cost to stay at the hotel located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the two-day, two-night all-immersive experience promises to take travelers “to a galaxy far, far away in a way that only Disney could create....

Now that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are finally out and competing with one another, gamers can start to see which of the two next-gen consoles offers the best performance. It’s a question that has been debated over for months before their launch, but in the case of upscaling current-gen games like Star Wars Squadrons, it seems like the XSX is at an advantage. Earlier this month, EA revealed that Squadrons would receive a number of enhanced visual options on next-gen consoles, and today those were added in a sizable new patch, update 3....

There is so much community spirit and cultural vitality in Stardew Valley that it can be hard to keep up. But, some of the most important cultural traditions of this small but mighty town are the annual festivals, which range from yearly competitions to large feasts. Each of the annual festivals of Stardew Valley has its own traditions, celebrations, and activities. Many of them also come with seasonal shops and things to see....

Player retention and monetization are two of the biggest factors of making a free-to-play game profitable to developers. While there are some wildly profitable and popular mobile games that utilize the free-to-play model, one can assume that, if made well, a free-to-play game can rake in huge profits from a multitude of gamers. However, that may not be the case, as a recent study from Swrve has determined that only 2....

A dedicated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate modder Demonslayerx8 has released pictures of the Lingering Will (Terra) from the Kingdom Hearts series being played in the game. It has an incredible amount of detail. Demonslayerx8 is still working on the model, but when released as a mod it will be an alt skin swap for Ike — a character that has heavy attacks reminiscent of the infamous Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix boss that kicked many fans’ butts back in the day....

The superhero genre is far from being a fad done with. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe both taking off it will be a decades’ worth journey for us to see hundreds of stories unraveling. Avengers: Infinity War is out in due course and its sequel next year will mark the end of the entire 22 film Marvel Phase One to Three saga conclusion. The DC Extended Universe is still taking its first steps but an enormous range of releases have already been announced....

One of the many things that makes Among Us such a special game is the dichotomy of the charming art style and cute characters with the graphic and horrifying moments of death and betrayal. The huge success of Among Us is partially thanks to this deadly charm, as well as the fact that it is simply fun to play. But one baker also seems to have figured out that Among Us may also be a rather tasty game....

In the heady moments of celebration after England’s victory over Denmark in this year’s Euros semi-final, the sight of team manager Gareth Southgate prompted ITV pundit Gary Neville to comment: “The standard of leaders in this country the past couple of years has been poor. Looking at that man, he’s everything a leader should be: respectful, humble, he tells the truth.” The former Man U right-back’s words, directed at the political rulers of a country riven by Brexit, tap into a modern craving for decency....

Though Tesla’s range of electric vehicles is known for being environmentally friendly yet efficient, they are also surprisingly capable gaming consoles via the Tesla Arcade, albeit with a small library of games. It seems that the Palo Alto, California-based company is looking to expand this particular functionality based on recent job listings for their American locations. On its website, Tesla has job listings for “Video Games Engineer, Infotainment Software” at various locations, namely in Bellevue, Washington; the new Giga Texas factory in Austin, Texas, which is currently under construction; and their headquarters in Palo Alto, California....

Video games in 1985 were almost exclusively 2D-based. Most consoles of the time could only process sprites, or very simple imitations of polygons. If we compare them to games from 1995, the progress made is simply gigantic. The Playstation had arrived, 3D games were making a splash, and the technology was improving by leaps and bounds. All of this happened in the span of ten years. On the other hand, games these days are fairly similar to what was being done ten, even fifteen years ago....

Animals have been our companions for millennia, but what happens when nature… goes bad? Some of cinema’s scariest moments come from creatures who have become freakishly intelligent, aggressive, or large, normally as a result of human experimentation. (If movies have taught us anything, it’s that scientific progress is to be frowned upon.) Other times, it’s simply that our reckless disregard for the natural order means a clash between man and beast; a fair fight only if we have guns, fireballs, and industrial-strength pesticides....
