Some suggest it is High Rock while others speculate it might be a new continent entirely. Fans are excited to see what Bethesda will bring to the table with this next entry, but they have been incredibly quiet about the project since its announcement. This has led to hundreds of theories about where the game is taking place and the time period it’s in....

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 3 spoilers. The reason Marvel’s Disney+ shows work as a concept is because the movies gave us plenty of interesting characters who sadly didn’t receive enough of a spotlight.

The Falcon had his moments, but he was always portrayed as more of an extension of Captain America and didn’t really have a lot of time to explore his life or character....

In a lot of survival video games, a key mechanic is collecting resources in order to make tools, clothing, shelter, and food. Studio Wilcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved introduces an interesting system wherein you unlock the ability to build things as you level. These schematics are called “engrams” and are purchased with your experience points, and without them (or blueprints, sometimes found in supply drops) you’re out of luck. When you start out, the engram for one of the more useful early tools, a stone pick, is already available....

Sony’s PlayStation 2, or PS2 for short, is the best selling video game console of all time, selling over 150 million units. Featuring a built-in DVD player and internet access, the PS2 was an ambitious and full home entertainment package. It released way back in 2000, so these features were pretty cutting edge. Having about half the game catalog of the PS1, the PS2 still boasts an impressive library of over 3,800 titles....

The wait for The Last of Us Part II is finally over, and some players have been hearing mixed things about how much time is spent playing Abby, a character that was technically in the first game, but not introduced officially until now. This is important to know, because not all players enjoy when sequels introduce major new characters for too much of the overall game, and in the case of Abby, this amounts to roughly the entire last half of the game....

There were a lot of exciting news to come out of Paramount’s Star Trek Day 2021 celebrations, but perhaps the most rewarding for long-time Trekkies was the official announcement of the entire Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast. While we’ve known for a long time the Trek spin-off’s cast of characters would be led by Anson Mount’s Captain Pike, Ethan Peck’s Spock, and Rebecca Romijn’s Number One/Una—all of whom were introduced in their current iterations on Star Trek: Discovery, but who originally hail from The Original Series—it was unclear which other TOS characters might appear....
