This Shadow and Bone article contains MAJOR spoilers for Season 1. Netflix’s Shadow and Bone is a fantasy epic that has it all: A complex heroine, great supporting characters, and a sweeping plot that is based on a magical system that both empowers and isolates those who wield it. The back half of the season builds to a thrilling climax that’s both intensely satisfying and leaves plenty of room for the story to go in new directions in Season 2....

Marvel Studios’ line-up of Disney Plus projects includes a series centered on the lawyer and superhero She-Hulk. Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany will portray the title heroine of the show and now she will be joined by newly added cast member Ginger Gonzaga of Netflix’s Space Force. Prior to appearing in Netflix’s Space Force, in which she portrayed a character parodying Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gonzaga’s previous roles included a recurring part on Showtime’s Kidding opposite Jim Carrey....

I have this vague memory from when I was… about eight, maybe? Some family friend had a lake house or something? The important thing is that I was a dumb kid who was told not to go too deep into the water. So, like a dumb kid, I went too deep into the water. I hadn’t properly learned how to swim. I reached towards the sun in vain. The true “memory” I carry with me is the feeling of water filling my nostrils as the murky depths clouded my vision....

Few creatures have captured people’s imagination quite like Cthulhu, a cosmic entity and cult icon from H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu in 1928 that drives those in its presence to madness. Cthulhu’s popularity has landed it at the head of various video and tabletop games, such as Fate of Cthulhu, but now the Old God has taken its place in the playable pantheon of Hi-Rez Studios and Titan Forge Games’ free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) SMITE....

As the first black female lead of a Star Trek series and the first to not sit in the captain’s chair, Sonequa Martin-Green is breaking new ground in the franchise with her character Michael Burnham. We sat down with the actress to talk about the show, her role and how she approaches the dual sides of the character. You’re the first protagonist in Star Trek to not be a captain, how was that pitched to you?...

Tabletop adaptations of video games are increasingly popular as the medium experiments with more complex offerings than classic games like Monopoly or Risk. Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s indie farming sim Stardew Valley announced and released a board game last month, for example. Now, fans of Sega’s long-running Sonic the Hedgehog franchise can expect to see the blue blur receive his own card game in the near future. One of the standard-bearers for the influx of tabletop video game adaptations is Steamforged Games, which is responsible for crowdfunding Resident Evil 3 Remake and Horizon Zero Dawn board games among others, and is preparing to launch a Kickstarter for Monster Hunter World: The Board Game in April....

Disco Elysium was among the most critically acclaimed games of 2019, winning in five categories at The Game Awards in addition to plenty of other superlatives from a variety of media outlets. This was largely a result of it’s story and atmosphere. While its classic tabletop-inspired gameplay is inventive, its stat distribution and dice roll systems ultimately serve story progression more so than an inherent sense of mastery over its mechanics....

The fighting game genre has been popular with players for decades. Ever since the release of Heavyweight Champ for the arcades, the genre has greatly evolved in order to meet today’s standards. Several fighting game franchises have been established as a result – most notably Street Fighter and the Soul Calibur franchises. Games under these names have greatly changed the model of what a fighting game is. Although both series have gone about the fighting game formula in different ways, they have become fan favorites to gamers all over the world....

According to the developers at Ubisoft San Francisco, the animated show’s creators are deeply involved with the production of South Park: The Fractured But Whole. As many gaming fans will more than likely agree, one of the most enjoyable showings during Ubisoft’s E3 2016 press conference was its presentation for South Park: The Fractured But Whole, as Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators behind the delightfully absurd and insightful television show around which the game is based, showed up during the event for a funny and informative interview about the forthcoming release....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales gives a great introduction to Miles on his freshman outing as Spider-Man. Players are given a well-written character with motivations that makes sense and relationships that are relatable. Couple this with gameplay that expands upon that of Spider-Man PS4 and the Web-Slinger’s future is looking optimistic. While Spider-Man: Miles Morales does a fantastic job of creating a story centered around Miles’ character, there are some key details about his origin that are omitted and may not be clear to those experiencing this character for the first time....

The Peters Cure the Spider-Man Villains While, at first, the three Peters struggle to work together to take out the antagonists, they eventually figure it out, swinging around the Statue of Liberty with their high school science lab-made cures in hand to reverse the respective conditions that made each villain villainous. Tobey Maguire’s Spidey may get a little stabbed in the process, but no big deal… it’s not like he hasn’t been stabbed before!...

Resident Evil Village offers up an incredibly diverse roster of creepy enemies, from the typical grunts that you encounter all throughout the game to your lesser villains as well as the overarching lords of the village. Resident Evil Village does a fantastic job taking on the regular gothic enemy tropes such as vampires and werewolves while adding in the special Resident Evil magic. Protagonist Ethan Winters will find himself battling all sorts of creepy denizens through his time exploring castles, graveyards, forests, and factories....

The hype for Resident Evil Village continues to grow now that its release date is only a few months away. Although details about the upcoming game are becoming clearer given the demo and all the gameplay previews released by Capcom, its main story is a huge mystery. Currently, most of the attention of fans revolves around the new character called Lady Dimetrescu. However, before revealing the popular tall vampire lady, most of the game’s speculation was focused on Chris Redfield....

On June 5th, Riot Games announced that co-streaming will be allowed during the 2020 LCS summer split for a group of pre-selected streamers and content-creators. What this news means is that fan-favorite streamers and analysts like Nick “LS” De Cesare can stream professional League of Legends games live. Fans of a particular streamer can hear what that streamer/analyst has to say about the games at hand. Co-streaming offers fans a different perspective of the matches as their favorite streamer can put their own personality over the gameplay, instead of simply hearing commentary....

It’s an unfortunate reality but it’s documented that there are quite a few eSports players who refuse to play nice. Not just in fight to the death, ‘show no mercy’ tactics of the eSports games at hand but often in their social conduct too. Making the world of online gaming a treacherous place for the faint of heart, these sorts of awful players are an unfortunate running joke for how they often verbally abuse (and, in extreme cases, send threats towards) other players on opposing teams....

Over the past two years, it’s pretty safe to say that Avatar brought the realm of 3D to prevalence for anyone who watches anything through a television. Following the massive success of the record-setting movie, watching things in the theater became a split choice between a more expensive 3D experience and the ’norm.’ 3D Televisions became the next biggest hit after LCD screens, and the game industry hopped onto the boat with 3D game options....

This is something absolutely nobody saw coming. Rockstar Games, makers of the infamous Grand Theft Auto franchise, is being sued by the Psychic Readers Network for the misappropriation of Miss Cleo, the late night television psychic. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida last Wednesday, names both Take-Two Interactive, and Rockstar Games as defendants. It alleges that the character Auntie Poulet in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City infringes on their copyright of the late Miss Cleo....

The upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot is aiming to tell a story more closely-aligned with the video games, as opposed to the over-the-top, action movie approach taken by the previous series of live-action films. Production on the new Resident Evil live-action movie is well underway, with a planned theatrical release of 2021, though many details about the plot and characters remain under wraps. However, we may now know of at least one monster that will be featured in the movie....
