This RIVERDALE review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 5 Episode 1 “Clearly our last two weeks of high school are going to be fraught…” Friends, on this day we find this country starting a new chapter, one that is full of hope and excitement for the future. I am of course referring to the airing of Riverdale‘s season premiere, a somewhat wheel-spinning, melodramatic affair that feels more like the closing pages of a book than the start of another story....

The massively popular online platform Roblox is seeing tons of attention lately. Its most popular game has been played more than 20 billion times, a staggering achievement. Years before seeing these levels of fame, Roblox has offered promo codes, granting non-paying users various in-game items and cosmetics for their avatar. Some of these promo codes are available for a limited time, but there is still a large amount of codes active and working from previous releases....

Developer Respawn Entertainment announced that Apex Legends would be getting crossplay back in June at EA Play, along with Steam and Switch ports of the game. Since then, there haven’t been many concrete details, but a new rumor might have nailed down when crossplay will happen. One of the three announcements from EA Play has come to fruition, Apex Legends is available now on Steam, complete with adorable Valve-inspired gun charms....

While fans may be anxious for Rockstar Games to move forward with a new project, Grand Theft Auto Online is such a financial juggernaut that it’s no surprise the studio is still releasing new content for it. And it seems as though the GTA Online content may be getting a little bit more interesting in the near future, if a recent rumor is to be believed. This rumor stems from Reddit user markothemexicam, who has accurately leaked GTA Online news in the past....

Mandalorians are pretty cool folks. Their craftsmanship, mysteriousness and overall look makes them one of Star Wars most beloved family of characters. There’s no argument that The Mandalorian serves as proof of this, given its poster child status for Disney+ and the fact that the show is all but officially confirmed for a third season. As it turns out, these bounty hunters are so popular that Lucasfilm is reportedly considering bringing back the original helmet-wearing outlaw for a miniseries starring Boba Fett, even before dedicating their efforts to The Mandalorian’s eventual third season....

A prominent Battlefield and Call of Duty leaker has revealed some leaked information about Call of Duty Vanguard, saying that it’s like “Black Ops Cold War 2.0”, and that it’ll release in 2021. Tom Henderson, the leaker behind most of the Battlefield 2042 discussion and trailer sketches, posted a video on his YouTube channel running through some Vanguard rumours and giving new details. He starts the video by saying, “it might not be the game that a lot of people are looking forward to this year”....

Bark Park is coming to iOS mobile to let you enjoy the great outdoors with your pooch while being stuck inside. Dog parks in many parts of the country are closed due to the coronavirus. It’s not that dogs can carry the virus, but it is the case that dog parks tend to be social congregating zones for both people as well as dogs, so unfortunately, they gotta close down until we get this whole pandemic under control....

After a 1-10 start, Schalke 04 finishes the season with a seven-game win streak and secures their spot in the LEC playoffs. Schalke 04 came into the season with some major questions, specifically around AD carry FORG1VEN’s return. The veteran returned to professional play after a four-year hiatus. Very quickly, fans and analysts realized that the team was simply not working and after an 0-6 start, the legacy AD Carry was benched for Innaxe....

Sea of Thieves may have received a lackluster reception from the gaming community, but this does not mean that Microsoft has given up on the title. Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Gaming, Mike Ybarra, recently showed his enthusiasm for the title by issuing the Xbox community with an in-game challenge. In a tweet posted on Sunday, Ybarra dared the Sea of Thieves community to sink his ship, even offering up the prize of a 12-month Xbox Live subscription to the players who are able to accomplish the task....

Since its reveal at E3 2015, Sea of Thieves promised players an open and dynamic world to live out pirate fantasies of treasure hunting, drinking, and ship battling. The recent closed beta test gave fans a small taste of what to expect, though many were looking for more things to do in the world outside of sailing and finding treasure. While the full game promises to have more content, one aspect that Rare has been particularly tight-lipped about is the massive, ship destroying creature known as the Kraken....

Toxicity is an unfortunate reality of any online system that allows for any type of communication, either among players in multiplayer games, or ordinary people on social media. Rare has joined the ever-growing list of developers looking to diminish toxicity as much as possible, with an update coming to Sea of Thieves that will be arriving as the game makes the jump into Season One’s new content. This is being done by removing the voice and text chat available from one crew to another during one of Sea of Thieves’ multiplayer modes, which have been seeing an unfortunate rise in toxic behavior....

To say that Destiny 2’s Season of the Splicer got off to a rough start would be an understatement. The season that brings Guardians a controversial new armor transmog system arrived by first shutting down the servers for several hours in order for Bungie to get a handle on all the “Honeydew” error messages that players were getting. A day later, those issues were largely resolved, but then players began discovering bug after bug, which doesn’t look good when you list them all together....

Music game legend Harmonix has now released its next rhythm game, Fuser. The Guitar Hero and Rock Band creator celebrated the release of its new DJ mashup game in the only way one can celebrate a DJ mashup game being released in 2020, by having fellow legend NBA megastar Shaq perform a live DJ set on Twitch. Fuser is a game that sets the player up as the ultimate festival DJ, with the ability to mix different elements of over 100 famous songs to create unique mashups on the fly....

Shenmue 3 was highly anticipated in the build-up to its 2019 release and this was largely because of the legacy of its open-world predecessors and a successful crowdfunding campaign. Despite the excitement around the game, for many Shenmue 3 was a disappointment as it did not innovate the franchise and was too focused on satisfying die-hard fans. The director of all the Shenmue games, Yu Suzuki, has now spoken about what direction he would take with Shenmue 4....

The amount of buzz a show generates is generally indicative of how successfully a show is catching on with audiences. Shows can cultivate this by tapping into our culture’s love for memes. Some shows have classic moments that transcend context and are immortalized in the format of a GIF or as a screenshot with white Impact font text with black outlines. Some of these shows do the hard work for everyone and propagate their own memes into the ether with the heavy use of running jokes....

Bethesda games are known for their excellent player choice and Skyrim is certainly not the exception! Players that enjoy a good difficult choice are in for a treat while playing this RPG because there are so many toughies that can’t be easily decided. With choices like becoming a werewolf and slaying a wise old dragon it’s no surprise that players have trouble making up their minds. This list will cover some of the hardest choices in Skyrim and maybe show players a quest or two that they may have missed....

Of all the different skills in Skyrim, Pickpocket may be the most complicated and hardest to understand, as its various interactions with NPC characters can result in some overly complicated calculations that the player may not be aware of how to take advantage of, and that’s if they’re even aware they exist to begin with. That being said, it is definitely a skill worth investing in for the long run....
