Overwatch has seen no shortage of excellent skins over the years, with the game’s heroes being given access to a vast array of stylish looks. From Sombra’s memorable face changer skin to lore-inspired designs such as the young Reinhardt outfit, the popular hero shooter boasts a great selection of cosmetics to choose from. However, some of the absolute best alternate looks for the game’s roster have not actually appeared in the game, nor are they made by Blizzard....
The Christmas Chronicles 2 will see Kurt Russell’s rendition of Santa Claus back in his sleigh to haul holiday cheer, and close out a year in dire need of just that. Indeed, the Netflix movie sequel’s trailer will whisk you away to a colorful, wintry peppermint-favored reality in which the worst thing we have to worry about is a dastardly ne’er-do-well (played by Deadpool 2’s Julian Dennison,) who’s trying to steal Christmas....
Warning: contains MAJOR spoilers for The Devil’s Hour finale. With major spoilers (please don’t read on until you’ve watched it all) for the finale and everything that came before, here’s our best attempt to break down just what went on, what we know, and what is supposed to be left ambiguous in this ambitious six-parter. What Was Gideon’s Deal? The title of episode six ‘Amor Fati‘ sums it up: in the world of The Devil’s Hour, lifetimes are lived in what philosopher Nietzsche termed “eternal recurrence” – a continuous loop from birth to death and back, repeat ad infinitum....
Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment have been supporting Tom Clancy’s The Division well after its launch back in March 2016, with the companies having just recently put out the rather sizeable content drop of Update 1.8 just a few weeks ago.

During the latest State of the Game broadcast, Ubisoft announces a compensation plan for players due to some of the bugs and performance issues found in The Division. It has been a busy seven days for Tom Clancy’s The Division, after the first major post launch content arrived in the April Update.

The Hugo Awards have officially announced that they will have a “Best Video Game” category for the 2021 ceremony. This will be the first time that the Hugos have honored the video game platform in their prestigious awards, which bestows honors on the best science fiction or fantasy literature of the previous year.

Warning: contains major spoilers for The Last Kingdom season five, episodes 1 -4. The Last Kingdom fans were introduced to Eadith as an adjunct to powerful men. She was the daughter of a disgraced Lord, the mistress of Aethelred of Mercia, and the sister of the dastardly Eardwulf, who schemed to restore his family’s reputation and usurp the Mercian throne. In season four, Eadith rebelled against each of those labels and began to act for herself....
A point of contention surrounding The Last of Us, aside from the fan backlash over the sequel, is who in the series is the main antagonist. Whether it be the many hordes of zombies, the rebellious Fireflies, the newly-introduced WLF, or even, as some fans have pointed out, Joel Miller, there are a plethora of choices and theories as to who really is this big baddie. Main among all archetypal villains for the franchise, however, is none other than this world’s disaster relief strike force, the Federal Disaster Response Agency - codenamed FEDRA....
The Last of Us 2 is drawing nearer and nearer with each passing day, but some fans still don’t know what to do with themselves while waiting for Ellie and Joel’s next adventure together. In response to this, players should consider playing the original The Last of Us again, but this time with some self imposed challenges. These so called challenge runs will test players’ limits as well as their knowledge of the game, and perhaps most of all, their patience....

The Mandalorian season 2 continues its streak of entertaining episodes with “The Heiress,” which brings in elements from The Clone Wars as well as gives us a clear sign of where the show is headed. Along the way, we’re treated to even more guest appearances, including Battlestar Galactica legend Katee Sackhoff, who brings Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze to live-action for the first time, as well as Mercedes Varnado (better known as the WWE wrestler Sasha Banks), who portrays the gun-toting Nite Owl soldier Koska Reeves....
If you’re American enough to have been able to see the new Mortal Kombat film yet, you may still be wondering what happened to series staple, Johnny Cage. An almost-ever present figure in the notorious fighting game series, Mortal Kombat (2021) marked the first spin-off film he didn’t appear in. There was a method to all of this. According to producer Todd Garner, Johnny’s boisterous personality was just too much to squeeze in alongside fellow larger-than-life combatant, Kano—so it was one or the other, and they went with the Aussie....
The New Mutants will soon stream and spin at homes in the very-near future. While many speculated that this news would precede the recent move by studios Fox and Disney to release the film at theaters, it does signal the end of an era—especially for those of us who have spent the past 3+ years covering it—since the film will likely go down in history as having faced one of the hardest roads to a release, perhaps ever....
With Koch Media hosting their own live stream for Summer Game Fest, I can’t help thinking about one thing - Saints Row. By far the biggest game under Koch Media and Deep Silver is the next entry in the formerly gangster series, and the direction it’s going to go is completely up to the imagination at the moment. We don’t know anything about the next Saints Row right now aside from the fact that it’s in development, but when we last saw the Saints, they were at a crossroads of sorts....
This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3. The third episode of Lower Decks Season 2 has, in its title, an Easter egg to the TNG episode “We’ll Always Have Paris.” It is not anyone’s favorite episode of The Next Generation, but it’s possible that “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris,” will be your favorite episode of Lower Decks. Well, that depends on how much you love Star Trek: Voyager and not having complicated questions answered, ever....
Since the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2’s official trailer less than a week ago, fans have been waiting to hear what the highly-anticipated sequel would bring to the table, in order to make up for some of the first game’s issues. One major improvement that has already been announced is that the Star Wars-themed shooter will have a full-length campaign this time around, but now we finally have some word on what the title’s multiplayer will be like....
A few years ago, Steam unveiled its Remote Play Together feature. Basically, it lets anyone on Steam play a couch co-op game with anyone else on Steam even if one of those players doesn’t actually own the game. One player who owns the game serves as the host and then streams their game data via Steam to a friend, letting both players play the same game as though they were in the same room....
While some may find the splitting of a season of television into two chunks unnecessary and exhausting, it does come along with one undeniable benefit: Two trailers, baby. Just as the Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 trailer was an epic delight, so too is the just-released two-minute clip featuring action from season 4 volume 2. Give it a watch below. For those who haven’t kept track, Stranger Things season 4 isn’t over yet....
A new job listing posted by Sucker Punch suggests a sequel for hit video game Ghost of Tsushima really is on the way. The 2020 title left players in awe of its excellent combat mechanics and storytelling, having walked them into the world of Jin Sakai, a Samurai warrior who seeks to free the island of Tsushima from Mongol Warlord Khotun Khan using methods unconventional to the way of the Samurai and in direct contravention of their strict code of honor....
Aloha, Spooky Nerds! Every week it seems I read of more strange things afoot that are delightfully odd and potentially unexplained in nature.
