This article contains massive THE NORTHman spoilers. Before the credits roll, Uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang) is well and truly dead by his nephew’s hand; his head cleaved clean off with a massive stroke of Amleth’s arm. However, the prince without a kingdom is also slain, stabbed through what I believe is the heart and left to simmer by a lake of fire that both men recognize as Hel. Beneath their vainglorious ends also lies the body of a woman they each claim to love, Gudrún (Nicole Kidman): the mother Amleth swore to avenge but instead slaughtered alongside her youngest son Gunnar (Elliott Rose)....

Most criticisms of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace revolve around the struggled comprehension of the thick political plotline, or the existence of Jar Jar Binks, or the audience suffering Anakin Skywalker as a child, but no one seems to have recognized this simple obvious oddity: who elected a child as Queen of an entire planet? Padmé Naberrie, better known by her regal name Amidala, was elected as the Monarch of Naboo at the wise and competent age of fourteen....

Despite the fact that a teaser trailer has been released, we still don’t know much about Star Wars: Ahsoka, the upcoming Disney+ series from Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. In fact, we don’t even know when the first season will hit our screens, as official channels still list the show’s premiere as “early 2023.” And yet, star Rosario Dawson is so confident in the show’s success that she’s already calling for a second season....

The Star Wars Funko POP! collection might already contain dozens of characters from the galaxy far far away, but it looks as if that collection will soon be expanded even further.

Darth Revan and Darth Malak will both be receiving their very own...

Starbound has changed a great deal since Chucklefish first put the game up in Early Access Beta on Steam in 2013. When it officially went into Early Access in 2016, the developers had introduced many new features including a more dedicated story line. The beginning mission also functions as a bit of a tutorial/introduction to the game’s world and mechanics. Shortly after starting your journey in Starbound, you will come across the quest to enter the Erchius Mining Facility....

One of the most important annual events in Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town is the Feast of the Winter Star, taking place every year on Winter 25. It basically serves as the game’s in-universe version of Christmas, with a large decorated tree in the town square, a huge feast, and an exchange of gifts. Each year, the player will be given a character that they must give a secret gift to, and a gift-giver that will reveal themselves at the festival....

A leaked memo sent from Valve to developers suggests that Steam bundles will no longer charge gamers the full price if they already own some of the content. A big reason for digital PC game storefront Steam’s success is its many deals, discounts, and sales. Its seasonal sales are famous (and not just for their hidden mysteries, either) but there are lots of sales in its bundles too, as fans of longstanding game franchises are often able to pick up every game released in the series (plus all of the accompanying DLC) for a fraction of the recommend retail price....

Rocksteady Studios’ upcoming title Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has a lot of promise, thanks to both the comic IP that the game is based off and the previous success of the developer with adapting DC properties. However, while leaning into the trends of the Arkhamverse will likely lead to success again, taking a look at what another studio under the same publisher has done in the past may be the best way forward....

It may be the end of an era on Twitch. Ninja, the current most popular live streamer and the face of Fortnite, has fallen in subscriptions to the point where he’s reportedly no longer in “first place.” As of TwitchStats’ latest update, Summit1G has surpassed Ninja’s total subscription count with 42,943 total sub points (tier 2 and tier 3 subs count as multiple subs). Even more surprising is Summit1G’s game of choice: Sea of Thieves....

A segmented speedrun suggests that Super Mario Bros. speedrunners are approaching the limit of how fast the game can be completed. Prior to the popularisation of the internet and online gaming, if you could beat your friends at your favorite games, you could assume that there was no one better at those games than you. Turns out that was never the case at all. Nothing makes us feel more inferior than watching a speedrunner complete our favorite game in minutes....

Super Mario Maker 2 is finally out, and Switch owners are now enabled to show off their creativity to the world. However, Nintendo has put up a potential roadblock when it comes to how much of it they can share. As per Nintendo Enthusiast, Super Mario Maker 2 limits the number of levels a player can upload to 32 courses. By comparison, the original’s level limit was a whopping 100. Naturally, fans of the series took to Reddit to voice their displeasure....

Without a doubt, The Witcher fans are in eager anticipation for Netflix’s television adaptation of the developer CD Projekt Red’s action-RPG series. However, with showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich having recently revealed that the project likely won’t make it to the streaming service until somewhere around 2020, it looks as if viewers will be waiting quite a while until the TV series airs. So, while the producers are still busy nailing all of the program’s parts into place, the Superman actor Henry Cavill has now decided to throw his hat into the ring to play the character Geralt of Rivia....

Techland’s community manager has debunked recent rumors surrounding a potential Microsoft acquisition. Addressing the rumors on Twitter on Saturday, Techland’s community manager claims that the same rumors surfaced a year ago and that the situation is the same as it was back then. They then reaffirm their stance by stating that Techland is still an independent studio and that “it was not acquired by another publisher”. These rumors came about after a number of websites (such as Wccftech) published coverage of industry insider Jeremy Penter’s (ACG) podcast, Defining Duke....

Since he first appeared in 1940, Robin has been a staple character in the Batman universe. And he grew to become one of the most popular and beloved characters in the DC universe. Much like the name Batman, Robin has become a symbol to many, a symbol of hope and light in a dark city. And while the title of Robin has been passed down to quite a few people, the intentions of Robin are the same: fight crime, protect those that need it, and keep Batman from going too far....

The Logan Paul $1 million dollar Pokemon TCG First Edition box break on the night of the 25th anniversary went extremely well. Within the first hour of the pulls, viewers saw not one but two holographic Charizard cards pulled and at least three holographic Chansey’s as well. Paul began the stream strolling in wearing a full Charizard costume. Could that have contributed to the luck? Over 200,000 people tuned in live to see what would be pulled and it was not a letdown....

E3 is the video game event of the year, every year. Although E3 2019 didn’t have any sign of PlayStation, considering they decided to skip it this year, there were still plenty of things to get excited about. Cosplay at E3 isn’t something that’s often talked about and is usually reserved for PAX and Comic-Con every year. Well, over the years E3 has let the public into the event in larger numbers and as a result, cosplay has become an even stronger part of the week-long celebration of games....
