The newest Dungeons & Dragons book is here, and it brings a lot of new toys for DMs and players to mess around with. Fans have been excited for Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything so far, and D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast is feeding the hype. Tasha herself took over the D&D Twitter to answer fan questions, and let one little tidbit slip. Tasha is a storied character in the D&D mythos who is billed as the “author” of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything....

Transformers was a really big part of my childhood, and a lot of attributes from the franchise still affect me to this day. I remember when Transformers: Armada first came out I was obsessed with that show. While Armada is often recognized as one of the weaker Transformers shows among hardcore fans, a lot of the storylines really had an impact on me. It may seem like trash to older fans; however, it meant a lot to me as a little kid....

Survivors play a key part in a player’s strategy in Risk of Rain 2. Runs get harder the longer players survive, requiring them to master their character and utilize items found to their fullest effect. Some Survivors do this better than others thanks to the skills they use. With the Skills 2.0 update, every character has a variety of options to alter their kit and become more viable. Some of these unlocks are much worse than others, however, and are a downgrade of other skills....

With their noir-influenced color palette, brutal fight scenes, and gloomy aesthetic of Gotham City, Batman stories tend to be pretty visual. But the Caped Crusader’s latest exploits won’t be visual at all, because they’re being chronicled in a podcast. HBO Max is set to release a podcast entitled Batman: The Audio Adventures that will offer a comedic take on the Dark Knight. Jeffrey Wright has been cast to voice Bruce Wayne in the curious new project....

The last few years have seen Marvel Studios push the boundaries in terms of their costume designs, reinventing familiar looks while adapting new clothing from the comics. However, each Phase of the MCU has boasted a standout suit, which not only includes plenty of character-driven details, but also looks amazing and heavily draws from the source material. When judging a costume therefore, it’s important to take into account the artwork on the page, how those attires actually interact with the narrative, their functionality on screen, and how iconic they have become....

Since Mortal Kombat first hit arcades in 1992, it has continued to develop a large fanbase that eagerly awaits news on the latest game every few years.

The Division was originally slated to have a ’trading’ feature, but the game’s associate creative director now says that this will not be available at launch. As an open-world MMO, a big part of The Division is its looting system. The game’s Dark Zones are a good example of this as the specialized PvP zones see players navigate a difficult area to bring back some serious goodies. With players only able to remove the loot from the Dark Zone via extraction (the loot is contaminated and must be ‘cleaned’ before players can take it out into wider game world), one possible workaround is the game’s trading system, which would let players sell items to one another....

As players journeyed throughout the land of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, or any other Elder Scrolls game, there’s a chance that they jave heard of the Green Pact, a deal made between the Bosmer, or Wood Elves, with Y’ffre, a powerful forest god and important figure for the Bosmer pantheon. At its core, the Green Pact means that Wood Elves can’t harm or eat any vegetation, which has had a far-reaching impact on the race’s culture and relationship with the other provinces of Tamriel....

There were many Pokémon missing from Pokémon Sword & Shield when it released, but thankfully its Pokédex has finally been expanded with the release of the Isle of Armor DLC.

Many of these added Pokémon are exceptionally powerful, featuring tons of famous species throughout Pokémon history....

When video games were first introduced many decades ago, most developers focused on bringing players the most exciting gameplay in hopes of bringing countless hours of entertainment. During its infancy, there aren’t many video games that focused on delivering an immersive story, but as gaming technology evolved, developers also acknowledged the fact that a game’s story is as crucial as its gameplay. This fact is self-evident in 2013’s The Last of Us, and hopefully in its upcoming sequel, The Last of Us 2....

Despite The Last of Us: Part 2 being announced during PlayStation Experience 2016 last year, Naughty Dog has revealed very little about its hotly anticipated game. Although fans know that the game will focus on Ellie and will be about hate (rather than love), just a few details are known. But one major new detail about The Last of Us: Part 2 may have just been confirmed by some Naughty Dog job listings....

HBO has been busy filming its adaptation of The Last of Us in Canada, building sets for both the Boston QZ and the Jackson settlement around Alberta. We’ve already seen Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Anna Torv in costume as Joel, Ellie, and Tess respectively, and it’s likely we’ll see Gabriel Luna as Joel’s brother, Tommy, very soon, as the show prepares to shoot scenes set in Jackson. But there are also a few things we haven’t seen....

Ghosts, the paranormal and the supernatural have always been debated. Do they exist? Many people have reported sightings before, but without any real proof, they’re usually disregarded as mere stories. Being able to take photos of spirits obviously helps the cause, but are all of them real or have some been doctored? Here is a round-up of the most famous “ghost” photos of all-time. Some have been faked no doubt, but they look so good on first inspection they could definitely convert some non-believers....

The new trailer for Picard Season 2 finally reveals that Whoopi Goldberg has returned to the Trek pantheon as the timeless and perpetually wise Guinan. Instead of tending bar on the USS Enterprise-D, she’s now set up on shop on an alternate version of Earth. And, from the looks of this trailer, it’s Guinan who encourages Picard and the crew of the La Sirena to head back to Los Angeles, Earth in the year 2024....

At first glance, the third season of Star Trek: Picard focuses only on the past. Not only does it continue the adventures of the one-time Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, but it will bring back his primary crew, including William Riker and Deanna Troi, as well as Worf, Geordi LaForge, and Beverly Crusher. Joining the crew will be some other familiar faces, including the holographic Professor Moriarty and Data’s evil brother Lore....

There have been a lot of Star Trek documentaries, countless behind-the-scenes DVD extras, and everyone ever involved in the franchise has written a memoir. “It’s the number-one most covered topic not connected to World War II, apart from maybe the Civil War,” says Brian Volk-Weiss, director of the documentary, The Center Seat: Celebrating 55 Years of Star Trek, which launches this week in the UK on IMDb TV. But even after all this time there are still surprising new facts to discover, as Volk-Weiss himself found out during the making of the series....

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 2 It’s still too early to tell what exactly Omega, the newest member of the Bad Batch, is thinking. But her presence in the squad powers the stakes of an effective, low-key second episode. In “Cut and Run,” we return to characters from a single The Clone Wars episode (deserter clone Cut, his wife Suu, and their children)....
