It’s a new year and Disney+ is ringing in 2022 the say way it ushered out 2021: with lots of Boba. That’s right, Disney+’s list of new releases for January 2022 is highlighted by The Book of Boba Fett. Though the series starring everyone’s favorite bounty hunter in Mandalorian armor (or maybe second favorite now after Din Djarin) first premiered in 2021, January 2022 is when it will air the majority of its seven episodes....
During E3 2019, popular Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect took to the IRL directory to stream his experience at the annual gaming event. While not known for IRL streams, Dr. Disrespect did his best to deliver an entertaining show that pushed boundaries in as many ways as possible. Unfortunately, a trip through the bathroom at the LA Convention Center resulted in a Twitch ban for Dr. Disrespect’s channel. The ban only lasted for about a week, but Dr....
The Dragon Age series has a number of religions. The largest of them is the Chant of Light, but there are also the elf gods and The Stone of the dwarves. However, the Qun is arguably the most mysterious of these religions. This is helped by the Qunari also being the most mysterious race in Thedas. While they are called Qunari today, the race used to be called Kossith. Most about their religion is not revealed in the games themselves but in The World of Thedas books....
Constructs in Dungeons and Dragons are creatures made up of inorganic material. They are usually created by intelligent tinkerers, talented magicians, and others with the know-how to forge such automatons. Constructs serve their masters with complete obedience. Performing their duties without distractions like morality and emotions, constructs “live” only to fulfill whatever task is currently at hand. There are many benefits to working alongside constructs. Unfortunately, many villains also know this....
EA executive Peter Moore suggests that video game press conferences don’t have a future, as the company is looking to put its games in the hands of ‘influencers’ instead. Just like EA’s new strategy for E3 2016, EA Play, the video game publisher’s Gamescom attendance wasn’t exactly traditional. Instead of the usual onslaught of announcements that fans might expect from the publisher, EA instead held a typical livestream. While the company did have plenty to reveal, including a new Battlefield 1 gameplay trailer as well as fresh details about Star Wars Battlefront’s Death Star DLC, its Gamescom attendance certainly wasn’t par for the course....
Edgar Wright is trying to cure himself. That’s how the writer-director describes his latest movie Last Night in Soho: a cure for the nostalgia that’s followed him all his life, and which still causes him to daydream against his better judgment about 1960s London as if it were a golden age. “I have this recurring time travel fantasy about the idea of going back,” Wright says with the air of a confession....
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made no attempts to hide his love for video games and popular culture, and has previously asked whether users of Teslas would be interested in playing CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher games while on self-driving mode. Yesterday, he once again took to Twitter to ask whether it would be at all possible to get “good multiplayer” games working in a Tesla. A certain selection of Teslas already have games that owners can boot up through the car, including indie 2D action-platformed Cuphead....
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has claimed that despite losing hundreds of millions on the Epic Games Store, the money spent was a “fantastic investment.” Defending the company in a tweet last Sunday, Sweeney shares some of the statistics from the Epic Games Store’s end-of-year roundup including the money spent by PC players, how many free games have been claimed, and the total number of customers. He also claims that the store has been a “fantastic success in reaching gamers with great games....
Most gamers know the name of The Elder Scrolls franchise. But what exactly is an Elder Scroll? Even the in-game lore is a bit hazy on the subject, giving the player only a glimpse of their true power and potential. Despite the vagueness, it’s unquestionable that these objects are a source of tremendous value and knowledge. Individual Elder Scrolls often play a role in the plot of either a main quest or a side quest....
While many streamers have been giving players a showcase of the Fallout 76 beta., an upcoming event could very well take the cake. Just 6 days before the online-only multiplayer action RPG officially launches, it will be streamed by some of the most popular personalities in the industry. First up is Ninja who also has another interesting stream set to go down on New Year’s Eve. Then, joining Ninja in this stream is Logic, an American rapper who also maintains a YouTube channel relating to video games....
In the world of online multiplayer, especially of the most hardcore variety like that seen in Battlefield 3, cheating is a big deal. Not only can just one player cheating completely skew an entire experience for up to 64 players, but it can also make the developer look bad. Unfortunately in trying to achieve the goal of Battlefield 3 online equality, DICE and EA may just have passed some bans to players who didn’t deserve them....
The North American server of Fate/Grand Order, the mobile game installment of the Fate series by Delight Works, recently achieved its third anniversary. Lucky players were able to summon the limited five star SSR caster class servant Skadi, whose abilities make people describe her as a game-changer when it comes to playing. One of the most appealing qualities of the Mother of Scandinavia is her ability to do what is called noble phantasm looping....

With a handful of modes available at launch, players have several games to test their skills. Take It Slow, Use Your Brakes Unlike the other modes where wrecking opponents is the main objective, the goal of Gridfall is to survive. The last player standing takes the crown....
Although Destruction AllStars was just released this month, it was recently announced that its price will be almost four times lower than what it was launched for. The game was announced for PS5 and was offered for free as part of the PlayStation Plus program during the first two months of its release. Originally, Destruction AllStars was going to be sold for $70 dollars, but apparently, it will be sold for $50 dollars less meaning it will only cost $20 starting in April....
One intrepid programmer releases proof of concept software which allows HTC Vive owners to play certain Oculus Rift-exclusive games such as Lucky’s Tale. The dawn of a full range of virtual reality headsets is nearly upon us, with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift currently on the market and PlayStation VR arriving in October. That means that the battle for virtual reality supremacy is truly hotting up, and the quality of content on each of the devices is sure to be one of the deciding factors....
Bethesda reveals that pre-order customers of Dishonored 2 will be given a rather special perk for pre-ordering the game: access to the title a full day earlier than other buyers. Dishonored was one the cult hits of the last console generation, offering up an interesting steampunk-inspired world alongside fun and varied gameplay. With that in mind, fans of the original game are unlikely to need much reason to be confident in the quality of Dishonored 2, particularly with players apparently able to beat the game without killing anyone....
While the movie news world, and our colleagues over at Screen Rant, are going crazy over the news that Disney has acquired LucasFilm for $4 billion, there’s still an equal amount of excitement that can be shared by video gamers as well. See, with the purchase of LucasFilm, Disney also acquired LucasArts — the developer who has had a hand in nearly every Star Wars video game dating back over a decade....
Uruguay-born filmmaker Fede Alvarez was mostly an unknown when director Sam Raimi picked him to continue the Evil Dead franchise with the 2013 remake starring Jane Levy. Three years later, Alvarez is back with an original idea that gives us a much better idea of what a fantastic filmmaker he is in his own right. It once again stars Levy along with Dylan Minnette (Goosebumps), playing two of the three petty criminals breaking into homes for money to try to get out of a recession-torn Detroit....
Too much file-diving can be a dangerous thing, as one YouTuber found this out the hard way. Brace yourself: this takes a lot of the mystique out of Doom’s Imps, Cacodemons and the rest of the hellish hordes. When it comes to Doom, you might think that there’d be no more intriguing little details left worth poring over. It’s one of the most influential and popular video games of all time, after all, and helped to shape the entire FPS genre as we know it today....
Doom Eternal’s “The Ancient Gods” DLC brings three new missions to the game, “UAC Atlantica Facility”, “The Blood Swamps” and “The Holt”. Each level has one Support Rune to be found, which can be equipped to your fourth rune slot to give yourself an additional special ability. In addition to the three rune slots in the base game, the first of two DLC packs introduces a fourth rune slot that you will unlock upon finding the first of the three Support Runes....
