Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season released back in August 2018. It was the last time we saw heroine Clementine, but she’s returning at long last in a comic book. Spoilers for the main The Walking Dead comic and Telltale games follow. To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Robert Kirkman and David Alpert’s Skybound, the two are launching a limited series aptly titled Skybound X. This will explore several existing comic worlds but chief among them is The Walking Dead, with a brand new issue that will be all about Clementine....

The pieces of the puzzle regarding Telltale Games’ post-The Walking Dead/pre-The Walking Dead 2 bonus content are slowly falling into place. After releasing a very short teaser video showing a character named Vince, the developer has added three additional characters to the fold. While each teaser vid features a character headshot being placed onto a cork board, the most recent Vine clip — featuring a character named Shel — appears to be the most telling....

Teppen, Capcom’s free-to-play card game, has announced that Resident Evil’s super-spy Ada Wong is coming to its roster of Heroes. She arrives as part of the game’s next expansion, “A Dark Agenda”, on March 1. Ada Wong has always been a mysterious character in the Resident Evil series. An enigmatic and perplexing character that always toed the line between ally and enemy, Wong has become a staple for the series and a fan-favorite....

Marvel Studios’ WandaVision has been a massive success, popular with critics and audiences alike. The show often trends on social media during the weekend after each new episode is released, but the massive popularity of WandaVision caused a Disney+ crash when the finale was released. The finale of WandaVision premiered at midnight pacific time, as the rest of the episodes have done. With so many users going online so they could watch the finale right away, Disney+ crashed in the early hours of Friday morning....

Spanning almost three decades and 22 games, Mortal Kombat as a series is almost unequaled among fighting games in both longevity and popularity. During that time, it has seen its fair share of characters that, for various reasons, are simply better than others as players have pushed the competitive limits of the series. Though the newer games in the series have sought out a competitive balance as an Esport, over the years, plenty of fighters have frustrated friends and dominated tournaments....

The core of every first person shooter experience almost invariably revolves around some kind of power fantasy. So, it should go without saying that the protagonists of these titles tend to be some of the most ludicrously overpowered one-man armies to have ever been seen in video games at large. It should also go without saying that “who would outgun who” is a frequent topic of heated debate between fandoms....

Starter Pokemon have always been among the strongest and most popular Pokemon in existence. They start off as cute little creatures that join the trainer as they start out in a region, and they grow with the trainer as they get stronger, smarter, and encounter tougher opponents. Whether it be Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Greninja, Sceptile, Torterra, or any of the others, Starter Pokemon have always been beloved. Coromon: Creatures That Should Be Pokemon...

McDonald’s rolled out its first Happy Meal in 1979 and soon other restaurants like Burger King followed. These meals were a total hit and fast food restaurants, for a while, would agree that young kids are one of their most valued target customers. And who could blame the kids? The meals were in these cute and colorful cardboard boxes with a free toy inside! What wasn’t to like? However, the current times have changed....

If you were a Pokemon fan back in the 1990s, you probably have a fair few old Pokemon Trading Card Game cards stashed somewhere in the back of your closet. We all had a few Caterpies and Rattattas lying around from this trend, and if you managed to collect a coveted card like a holographic Charizard, you were the talk of the school playground and truly got lucky. New Pokemon cards are still being produced to this day, making many of the oldest Pokemon cards even harder to find....

In 2015, a guy by the name of Chris Milk gave a short ’n sweet TED talk in which he described virtual reality as the “perfect empathy machine.” Seeing as he’s a filmmaker by trade, he was referring specifically to the medium of film and the use of VR to showcase it. Milk’s claim that VR is the perfect empathy machine really took off after his 2015 TED talk, but despite many loving the idea of it, some people have since then decided they detest thinking of VR in that way....

Spring is here, and even The Division can’t stop players from thinking about some Spring Cleaning ideas. Today, word has spread about a great idea on how The Division agents can maximize their storage space, which is intended to have a very finite amount of carrying power. Ubisoft’s record-smashing title certainly has no shortage of weapons to collect in the game, so the question isn’t if gamers want to grab all that they can – it’s how....

There’s no doubt that Tom Clancy’s The Division encountered an incredibly rocky start when it debuted back in March 2016, as the title suffered from a litany of server issues that initially dissuaded many from taking on the role of an Agent. Nevertheless, the game managed to experience a comeback of sorts over the weeks and months of its availability as the team at Ubisoft Massive continued to quell the action-RPG’s bugs, glitches, and lingering problems, which has now led to it having upwards of 20 million players....

Ubisoft reveals a new infographic for The Division, detailing how many enemies have been killed, and other stats from the massively popular game’s first month. In terms of sales, Ubisoft’s MMO The Division has had massive success. Across both digital and physical retail platforms, gamers eager for a connected shooting title have been buying the game in droves, with the title even beating the Ubisoft one-day sales record, which was previously held by the Assassin’s Creed franchise....

How far young adult literature, and the movies Hollywood adapts from it, has come. Once the realm of stories about young people dealing with daily tragedies and triumphs in recognizable lives, publishers and movie studios have gone through a cycle of Gothic and then dystopian fantasy trends where for every moving Hunger Games, there was a cornucopia of empty melodramas. Yet judging from the success of The Hate U Give, a 2017 bestselling novel by Angie Thomas and now a likely 2018 hit, the stories we tell of young people are finally back to reflecting what it is like to live with other young people—and now from a vantage far too often ignored by mainstream media....

10 Sword To The Head 9 I Hear You, Kanye 8 The Plot Is Bananas 7 Sad Fairies 6 Metal Link 5 I’m On A Boat If SNL released the “I’m on Boat” sketch at the same time as The Wind Waker’s release, it would have been an even bigger hit. That’s the thing with memes, though, even though something may be old or seemingly unrelated, memes have a way to bring even the most unlikely of pairs together....

Star Wars: Squadrons makes no effort to romanticize the devastation of a bomb. In both single-player and multi-player, firepower takes center stage. The wielders of these weapons, the bombers, are the galaxy’s greatest threats. Players that want this kind of terrifying responsibility will be appreciated by their own side, but at the cost of painting a huge target on their ships. Hardcore players know that they could stop every other ship, but if a bomber gets through, the war is lost....

This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Bad Batch. The premise of The Bad Batch has its roots in The Clone Wars animated series, where the central squad of mutant clones first made their debut, so it only makes sense that the spinoff would bring back some of our favorites from that era of Star Wars. So far, we’ve seen the return of Captain Rex in season one, with Commander Cody also recently popping up in season two....

Stardew Valley has a whole cast of characters with different gift preferences, and it can be quite a task to remember who loves and hates each item when trying to befriend them. But, even as you rack up hearts with the townspeople, there’s one character that you might not have any friendship points with until much later on. The Dwarf, who lives in the upper level of the mines in town, is locked away from you behind a boulder that you can destroy until you upgrade your pickaxe to steel....

When someone has just returned to this mortal plane after scaling Mt. Everest, it is perhaps premature to ask them which vast rock they would like to climb next. Yet that’s exactly what we feel obliged to do following news over the weekend that Steven Spielberg—Hollywood’s own veritable Edmund Hillary—is done with musicals after West Side Story. The revelation came via Variety, which reported about Spielberg attending the PGA Awards Breakfast on Saturday....

It is a well-known fact that The Wolf of Wall Street has the highest number of swear words in a movie, clocking in at 715 cuss words, but the actor that swears the most isn’t common knowledge. Unsurprisingly, the actor to take this record is Jonah Hill, who also starred in The Wolf of Wall Street. Jonah Hill plays a lead role in that movie, which contributed to a lot of his cuss words, but other movies he stars in, such as Superbad....
