Cinema just had a rough year. While there were definitely upbeat stories to accompany the now constant anxieties percolating throughout the industry—from Tom Cruise once again asserting his dominance as the king of summer via Top Gun: Maverick to the surprise and wholly welcome blockbuster status of A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once—the fact remains that “the movies” are in a state of upheaval and uncertainty. Do massive, mainstream audiences still have taste left in their palates for original adult-skewing films?...

There are now a ton of new biomes to explore in the Nether after Minecraft’s Nether Update, and it has been made clear that developers want players to be able to live in the Nether. With that in mind, what is the best place to actually build a home and thrive in the Nether now? Previously, the Nether was wholly inhospitable. The best thing players could find to eat was rotten flesh from Zombie Piglins, and players had no way of getting wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds needed to create even the most basic of tools in Minecraft....

The latest big update for The Division delivers on some requests that players have been looking forward to....

With The Elder Scrolls 6 looming on the horizon, the series could definitely learn a few things from both of its past two entries, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This puts a lot of pressure on The Elder Scrolls 6 to deliver after their success. Both titles are amazing RPGs in their own ways, but there are some aspects of each respective game that the upcoming game in the series could learn from, as well as improve upon....

The worth of a card is not necessarily in its monetary value, as each and every card can help one in any given situation, depending on what needs to be done. Mostly, it is for collectibility reasons that certain Magic: The Gathering cards can become so expensive. Rarity is also a factor, especially when certain cards go out of print. There are always people willing to spend good money on collectible merchandise because for some collecting is about acquiring trophies....

This article is powered by: Magic: The Gathering Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is finally here, and Magic’s long-anticipated crossover with Dungeons & Dragons brought with it new creatures, new mechanics, and if the Standard 2022 queue in MTG Arena is any judge, a burst of new excitement in the newest sets. This batch of new cards has completely changed the future of the standard format and should make some significant changes in a few non-rotating ones as well....

Lucasfilm is seriously bolstering its Star Wars animated offerings this year.

At Star Wars Celebration we even got our first look at the epic adventures Clone Force 99 will embark on in season 2....

Rumors about a possible Solo sequel TV series were sparked off by comments from Han Solo himself, Alden Ehrenreich, in an interview with Esquire magazine. Talking about his time in the franchise and whether there was any news of a follow up to Solo: A Star Wars Story, Alden teased “I’ve heard soooome stuff, but nothing concrete.” In a profile by Esquire magazine, Alden Ehrenreich said, “I took some time off after Solo, just because it was basically a three-year experience from pre-production to the release of the movie....

Before the game was even officially announced, EA confirmed that Star Wars Battlefront 2 would tie-in with the newer Star Wars movies. Now, it is making good on that promise in a big way, having announced a whole season of content based on the latest film. EA has announced The Last Jedi season for Star Wars Battlefront 2. Coinciding with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi on December 15th, this season of content will also be released during the month of December....

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order released on November 15, 2019, which explains why many may have been confused to see it nominated at this year’s Game Awards ceremony. Indeed, it’s confusing to see it with one nomination as Best Action-Adventure game of 2020 for a 2019 game. As many fans of the game may recall, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was practically snubbed by The Game Awards 2019. Because its release date fell after the nomination date, it did not qualify for anything in The Game Awards 2019 (even though 7 weeks remained in the year) and, as explained last year, would be able to qualify for the ceremony this year....

Without a doubt, many Star Wars fan would love to see the franchise return to gaming in the grand fashion of the older Knights of the Old Republic franchise, with KOTOR 3 story details recently being revealed if it had ever been made.

Imagine being someone who’s never seen Taskmaster. A virgin to joy. Someone whose eyes have never before drunk in the sight of a banana-Noel Fielding hiding in a fruit bowl, of Joe Wilkinson presenting the mayor of Chesham with 42 Calippo ice lollies, or of Charlotte Ritchie stumbling around a golf course blindfolded like an adorable Minion. What promise awaits! The prize tasks, the flashes of creative genius, the glorious failures… Alex Horne’s challenge-based comedy panel show is one of the most reliably entertaining TV programmes ever made....

In an interview with Famitsu, which was translated by VGC, Mizuguchi said, “Of course, the next generation of consoles came out at the end of last year, so we would like to develop the next games for the new generation, and we have actually started working on projects.” According to Wikipedia, synaesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway....

Much has already been written about The Batman‘s biggest surprise. In fact, Warner Bros. even let the clown out of the bag early in the film’s theatrical run, revealing that director Matt Reeves had shot not just one scene with Barry Keoghan‘s new take on the Joker but two. The second scene was cut for time, though, and who could blame the director? This film is already just shy of three hours long, a superhero epic that, while excellent, isn’t exactly as jovial or action-packed as other comic book flicks fighting at that weight, and the extra scene is very talk-y and might have slowed down the movie just a tad too much....
