Way back in The Expanse Season 1, before the Roci left Tycho on their mission to find “Lionel Polanski,” Naomi told Fred Johnson: “One day, I’m gonna ask you to find someone no questions asked.” Readers of the book series no doubt realized right away that this was a reference to Filip, Naomi’s long-lost son with charismatic and manipulative OPA terrorist Marco Inaros, but TV viewers didn’t hear Naomi bring up her son until well into Season 2....

Den of Geek is speaking to Professor Ryan Lavelle about Early Medieval ruler ealdorman Aethelred of Mercia. “The leading question I think you’re asking,” he laughs, “is was he really such a complete shit?” That’s exactly the question we’re asking. In Netflix historical drama The Last Kingdom, “complete shit” doesn’t begin to cover Aethelred. Toby Regbo’s character in the series is a cowardly, scheming, abusive rapist who tries to have his wife murdered and plots to overthrow his father-in-law, King Alfred of Wessex....

The Last of Us Part 2 is a harrowing journey of regaining humanity. The audience experiences overwhelming dread as they watch Ellie battle with a downward spiral of revenge and hate following Joel’s decision from The Last of Us. The unsettling feeling of dread and guilt follow through until the end of the game when the characters aren’t offered any clean breaks or closure, but this seems to be exactly what Naughty Dog was going for when crafting The Last of Us 2....

The Mandalorian season 2 starts on Oct 30 on Disney+ and fans can build a sharp plastic replica of their favorite cute co-pilot, The Child aka Baby Yoda! Available for pre-order now, ‘The LEGO Star Wars The Child construction set’ (to give it its official name) will be released on the same day as the second season of the Star Wars TV spin-off. So while it’s cool that it’s possible to build The Child/Baby Yoda now, it’s not recommended for hugging....

Apex Legends season 5 is well underway now, and the new season vibes are dying down. Season 5 brought about a lot of changes to the Apex Legends characters and meta, including but not limited to, the inclusion of Loba, a wonderful buff for Mirage, and a devastating nerf to Pathfinder. As the dust settles, site tracker dreamteam.gg has been able to determine the most used characters in Apex Legends. A lot of these make sense, but some are indeed surprising....

This article contains The Mummy spoilers. In those final moments, Tom Cruise more than just rides off into the sunset; he gallops into the horizon, commanding a supernatural sandstorm that licks at his feet with the powers of Hell. Or is that the underworld? It’s a bit ambiguous, yet oh so clear: The Dark Universe has begun! Of course as we glimpse at the film, the world-building of this nascent shared universe may be occurring with a very different type of Mummy than as advertised....

This STAR TREK: DISCOVERY feature contains spoilers for Season 3. Star Trek: Discovery had a lot to do in its third season, what with launching the franchise into a far-flung future, saving all sentient life as we know it, and essentially rebooting the show going forward. After leading her crew into a literal strange new world, Michael Burnham then had to spend a year in the future without them, a twist that forced her to decide who she was – and who she wanted to be – in a world where she no longer had the structure and expectations of Starfleet to define herself against....

EA released a new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Battlefront 2 during its press conference this morning.

We also see glimpses of Rey, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, not to mention the Empire-loyal heroine from the single player campaign, Iden Versio....

EA teases Star Wars Battlefront fans with the kind of free and paid content that is coming to the game in the next few months, including something to celebrate May the Fourth. The current calendar year has been a busy one for EA and DICE, as each month has seen new content arrive for their online shooter Star Wars Battlefront. Last month, the first major expansion pack called Outer Rim arrived, adding a number of new features, maps, and characters to the game....

It’s hard to classify Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as anything other than a success. With over 10 million copies sold worldwide, it is more than popular enough for Disney and EA to consider a sequel. Some fans have done more than wonder about a potential sequel, scouring Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for signs of where the franchise may be heading. One such fan recently noticed a small detail that may indicate the protagonist’s journey is far from over....

Patience is a virtue, but gamers didn’t seem to get the memo. This morning’s Nintendo Indie World was a joy, and showcased loads of good stuff coming to the Switch. Lovers of small, unique games likely walked away with something to be excited for, and marquee announcements like Among Us and Spelunky are bound to turn heads. But for all of the interesting titles revealed this morning, the one that trended the most on Twitter during the showcase didn’t even show up: Hollow Knight: Silksong....

Ubisoft unleashed a barrage of Watch Dogs news during its Ubisoft Forward event, but nothing was as unexpected as this – Stormzy, the popular British rapper, is coming to Watch Dogs Legion. The latest trailer showed a CGI Stormzy singing his hit song, Rainfall, across a post-Brexit London. The music video for Rainfall will be coming out later this year, and it is built completely on the Watch Dogs Legion engine....

This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things During Stranger Things day, Netflix revealed that the first episode of season 5 is called “The Crawl.” Even though we don’t know much else about the series’ final season, fans were quick to begin speculating what this title could mean.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is receiving an update in November that will allow players to reverse the camera controls for all three games in its collection. Super Mario 3D All-Stars includes three updated titles from the Mario series: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. We say “updated”, but Nintendo reportedly did the bare minimum when it came to bringing the games to the Switch. Reviews of Super Mario 3D All-Stars have slammed the laziness of the ports, as Nintendo has seemingly shown a lack of care for some of its most illustrious games....

Super Mario 64’s source code is out there on PC, and it only has been for just under a year now as it was reverse-engineered prior to the release of Super Mario 3D All-stars. As such, plenty of mods are going to be trickling through, and one user has applied ray-tracing to the N64 classic. The creator, Darío, is a “modder turned software developer,” although now they’re spending a lot of their free time in “raytracing a plumber....

As one of the longest-running damsels in distress in all of gaming, Princess Peach, also known as Princess Toadstool, is one of the easiest characters in gaming to recognize. Unlike other franchises, the Super Mario series has taken very few opportunities to change the designs of its characters, making even the earliest renditions of its cast instantly recognizable to new fans. While this is largely the case for Princess Peach, there have been a few times where her design has been changed for a particular title, giving her new life and a fresh design on a classic character in gaming....

Since the lead casting announcement for HBO’s upcoming adaptation of The Last of Us, fans of the game have been divided in social media discussions over bringing Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey from Game of Thrones to the new project....
