Some games are a haven for incredible memes, and Subnautica is one of them. Between its open-world concept, the various alien creatures you meet, and the overall gameplay, it is the perfect place to find meme-worthy topics. Players have dissected every inch of it and come up with some pretty hilarious sentiments that you can’t help but send to all your friends. You won’t be able to stop laughing after seeing these as they all strike home with the truth....

While it isn’t too original to say Mario games aren’t very true to reality, their displays of how functional relationships work - both platonic and romantic - can be even less realistic. This couldn’t be truer of any relationship than Mario and Princess Peach, who’ve been everything from platforming friends to gaming’s first couple throughout Nintendo’s history. Their bond is far from a clean one, though, and there’s a surprising amount of points they’ve treated each other worse than any friend or partner should....

Donkey Kong is turning 40 years old this year, and in celebration of his anniversary, there are rumors of a new Donkey Kong game in the works. According to industry insider LonelyGoomba, it’s being developed by EPD Tokyo, the same team that brought us Super Mario Odyssey. 2015 was the last time we saw Donkey Kong in a leading role, with Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. Even that was a spin-off rather than a major release - for his last main series game, you’d need to go back to Tropical Freeze in 2014....

Thanksgiving creates the ideal opportunity to explore complicated family dynamics in film. The holiday takes people with complicated relationships and histories and crams them into an uncomfortable setting where they don’t want to be. Whereas Christmas at least offers distractions from direct conversation in the way of gifts and carols, the cornerstone of Thanksgiving is sitting around a table to eat and speaking directly with family. It’s the perfect recipe for drama....

Namco Bandai announces that the ‘big’ reveal it was touting to Dark Souls fans earlier this week is nothing more than a clothing line filled with themed baseball caps and t-shirts. Earlier this week, Dark Souls fans were encouraged to watch out for some ‘big news’ in a tease orchestrated by Bandai Namco. Expectations rose quickly among fans — but the now-revealed surprise might be something of a disappointment for anyone that really go their hopes up....

This article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 2 finale “He finds his human vulnerability so hateful and he hates that part of him and he tries to subsume it, and yet it is part of who he is,” he added. “And so he hates a part of him that he can’t ultimately control, and so that kind of leads to a snake’s nest of psychoses. At the moment, that is his current weakness....

Sign your name on the dotted line and prepare to play a new tabletop roleplaying game format. The Contract is a free-to-play, open-source TTRPG that is played 100% through its website, without physical sourcebooks, character sheets, or the need to have all players in the same real-world location. The website has a similar feel to a wiki, in that there are menus hyperlinking you to multiple Game Rules categories. There’s also a Quick Access menu for in-game items you need to use during the campaign....

In a surprise announcement, Ubisoft now says that its upcoming online multiplayer shooter The Division 2 will pass on Steam in favor of the newly launched Epic Games Store.

Specifically, Ubisoft has just announced that The Division 2 servers will be taken down for maintenance tomorrow....

If you’re a fan of Dungeons & Dragons it is sometimes fun to assign the characters in movies, television shows, and games to what D&D class best suits them. Sometimes this is easy, such as assigning the characters in Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings to D&D classes. Other times this is more of a challenge, such as when assigning D&D classes to the characters in Stranger Things or Better Call Saul....

This review of The Expanse contains spoilers. The Expanse Season 6 Episode 1 Fans of The Expanse don’t want their show to end, and although they only had to wait eight months between seasons 5 and 6, everyone wants each of these last six episodes to be as full and satisfying as possible. In that sense, “Strange Dogs” was both triumphant in signaling the show’s return and disappointing in merely setting up the action to come....

While most February releases are still geared towards the previous generation, there are a few next-gen games that should start the ball rolling for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

These are our reviews of some of the biggest releases of September 2020, including the remaster no one asked for, the remake everyone wanted, and a possible rival to the mighty Fortnite franchise....

The Last of Us Part II is a divisive game, to put it mildly. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a masterpiece or a heaping pile of garbage. Whatever your feelings about the game may be, there’s no denying there are several instances throughout the game that potentially set up Part 3. While there’s no sequel officially in the works yet, Naughty Dog has done a pretty good job of setting up the threads for a possible third part....

2020’s The Last of Us Part 2 has a lot of content in the story, and it is much longer than its predecessor. Players will eventually finish it and be left with the post-game content to enjoy. A lot of players will immediately want to replay the game and experience the characters all over again.

Despite the base Breath of the Wild already being much tougher than many past Zelda titles, The Master Trials DLC implemented a Master Mode that allows veteran players to try an even harder version of the game. With weapons and shields that degrade faster and much stronger enemies with regenerating health, it can seem like a daunting task to attempt a successful run in Master Mode. However, there are a few things players can do that will make the attempt far less terrifying....

A recent developer video from the team behind the VR title, Flow Weaver, has shed some light on how the game (and the game’s universe) came about, while providing a behind-the-scenes look at how the game took shape within the VR realm.
