If only all of us could go on an adventure to Hogwarts and don the magical Sorting Hat. We would find out so much about ourselves while immersed in an enchanting world. You might agree or disagree with the following choice, but the Sorting Hat sometimes gets things wrong, as evidenced by his intent to place Harry Potter in Slytherin. The Sorting Hat works in mysterious ways and has the power to categorize witches and wizards....
Major spoilers for Black Widow ahead. Taskmaster is probably the most surprising character in Black Widow, especially seeing as he’s… not Taskmaster. In fact, he’s not even a he at all. This is not a gender-flipped version of Taskmaster like Karli Morgenthau in Falcon and the Winter Soldier - it’s an original character who just has the same skill set as and a similar costume to him. On one hand, I get why this is controversial....
Team Liquid’s Jatt, Cain, and Dodo win LCS coaching staff of the split. After finishing ninth in the spring split, the team brought in long time LCS caster Jatt as the head coach. Jatt, along with Cain and Dodo, turned Liquid around, finishing first in the summer split regular season. Coming off a tumultuous spring split, and parting ways with the winningest player in LCS history, Doublelift, the four-time champions seemed to be in flux....

Telltale’s expansion in the past year has been significant, marked by the announcement of a Telltale Batman adventure game series. While fans have excitedly been waiting for Batman to be fully revealed during and post-E3, Telltale just couldn’t wait that long to show fans what it is working on....
Be prepared for tears, my friend. Telltale’s (now Skybound’s) The Walking Dead videogame has a place in the hearts of every story-rich gamer. We have had four seasons full of losses and wins, of blood, sweat and tears. Throughout the series we have been introduced to many different unique characters, some who immediately get killed off, and others who have a fighting chance. In the mix of all of these characters you have the weak and the strong....
It appears that the alleged Resident Evil reboot movie poster going around is a fan project. Filming wrapped in December 2020, so fans were hopeful that this post featuring many iconic names was the real deal. It even featured the official September 3 release date. The image came from Chad Rook’s Twitter, lending it a certain authenticity. Rook plays Richard Aiken in the movie, a S.T.A.R.S. agent in the original game who was poisoned by a mutated snake....
When the gaming industry began to flourish in the arcades, they were seen as a great way to escape the troubles of life with some mindless fun. Few would have predicted that, one day, a popular genre of gaming would involve players voluntarily taking on the role and stresses of management. 1994’s Theme Park and 1999’sRollercoaster Tycoon were pioneers of the management genre. Although it is likely a nightmare job in real life, the games let players experience the imaginative fun of managing a theme park....
Every new game has aspects that need fixing. Call of Duty: Cold War is absolutely overflowing with problems that need to be fixed before it goes the way of Marvel’s Avengers – meaning a 95% reduction in player participation in multiplayer matches. The Call of Dutyfranchise is one of the bestselling game series of all time, and as such many players feel these games should be perfect at launch. Because of this, every entry in the series receives its fair share of criticism....
Final Fantasy is considered by many as one of the greatest JRPG franchises of all time, with each successive entry either reinventing the wheel when it comes to the genre’s machinations or pushing the boundaries of gaming to the next level, if not both. From the intense battles to the engrossing stories — Final Fantasy is a series that pretty much any gamer should definitely try out at some point....
The Pokémon anime has been on the air since 1998 right alongside the games. That means it’s twenty years old and still going with over a thousand episodes now! Can you believe it? I remember getting home from school one day, turning on UPN, and catching the last two minutes of the second episode and being amazed. What kind of animation was this? It looked so, pardon the obviousness, foreign. Yes dear readers, this was my very first anime....
The fourth entry in the One Piece Musou games has just released! We know, we know, Animal Crossing is the new hotness, but trust us, this title is also worth your time. This genre of games is obviously most well known for the Dynasty Warriors franchise, but there are tons of others. Popular anime IP’s like Naruto, Tokyo Ghoul, and Attack on Titan have all received Musou games of varying quality....
The official soundtrack to Astro’s Playroom is coming to digital streaming services later this week. PlayStation brought back a forgotten tradition via the release of the PS5, the built-in game. Anyone who has a PS5 also has Astro’s Playroom by default. The game is more than a token gesture used to try and win over potential customers on the fence about which console to go with. It takes you on a journey through PlayStation’s history and also shows off everything the DualSense has to offer....
The Playstation 5 is still a long way from release but there’s already a lot of hype surrounding upcoming games. So far there are a few confirmed titles for the PS5, as well as some that are unconfirmed but are expected to drop after the new console’s been released. Here are our most anticipated games coming to the Playstation 5. Rainbow Six Siege Ubisoft has already confirmed that their flagship shooter will be available on the PS5....
The ending of a video game is one of the most important aspects of the end product. Gamers who’ve played through a 20-hour long game need some much-needed closure in order to be satisfied with the overall experience, and a good ending helps in providing this. This is perhaps why games with multiple endings are such a huge gamble. While — for the most part — these games have fairly defined paths that lead towards the best ending possible, sometimes that is simply not the case....
Tweeting out “Season 2 Bloopers because you deserve a treat today…and maybe a glass of milk 🥴”. The “F**k Ups” reel has such delights like Anthony Starr as Homelander struggling to maintain composure, Karl Urban telling a stray leaf to “fuck off” and Bentley, better known as Billy Butcher’s pet bulldog Terror, having to quickly dash off set to take a much needed dump. Already renewed for a third season, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke Tweeted a picture of the first episode of season 3’s script warning us that “You’re Not Fucking Ready....

Starting Thursday evening at 5:30 pm PT, The Game Awards 2018 will begin. This year’s show, the fifth iteration of the annual event, looks to be one of the largest and most exciting yet. And given the size and scope of the event, it’s understandably difficult to keep track of the myriad Game Awards announcements and rumors. For those unfamiliar with The Game Awards, it’s the video game industry’s most watched and hyped end-of-year awards show....
Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 episode 3. The major criticism you could level at The Handmaid’s Tale between seasons two and four was its halting progress. Forward movement was repeatedly compromised by a narrative need to keep our perspective character in Gilead. For June to witness and participate in each of the regime’s sick new twists, she had to stay put and stay alive. That meant miraculous recoveries, stymied escape attempts and a general sense that whatever cataclysmic event happened in an episode, the status quo would quickly resume (possibly the only thing this show has in common with The Simpsons)....
I am occasionally told that I get irrationally annoyed about video games, although my complaint in this instance is completely logical - I hate that some people hate Dragon Age: Inquisition. Note my use of “some” there. It’s fine to dislike things, and there are certainly plenty of elements to critique in Inquisition. To be clear, I don’t mind when people claim to hate the game so much as I become frustrated when people fence it in with this idea of BioWare gone bad....
