As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, WWE has done away with its rigorous live event schedule, focusing purely on TV and pay-per-views. Prior to the pandemic, WWE wrestlers were on the road constantly, but now they have a lot of downtime, and many have used that downtime to pursue other interests, like Twitch streaming. Despite WWE wrestlers being labeled as independent contractors, WWE has taken control of their Twitch accounts - a decision that has caused quite the uproar, even drawing criticism from politicians like Andrew Yang....

One of the cool new features in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the ability to equip the main characters (Drivers) with a number of living weapons known as Blades. A finely tuned set of Blades gives a Driver a myriad of options for performing devastating combos during battle. There are a good number of Blades that can be found throughout the game, but some serve the Drivers better than other Blades, and some serve certain Drivers better than other Drivers....

The next Tetris 99 event is for those who are really feeling it, as it involves a stage based on Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Anyone who wants to play online games on Nintendo Switch needs to purchase a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Makoto Shinkai’s body of work speaks for itself. In just under two decades, the director has helmed some of the most well-regarded anime films of all time. He’s come a long way from his humble origins of selling VCDs of his indie projects at ComiKet, that’s for sure. Hot off the heels of his landmark your name, Weathering With You hit Japanese theaters last year, and American theaters a tad earlier this year....

Released on February 14, 2021, the first official trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League (affectionately known as the Snyder Cut) gave fans a lot to love. A quasi-remake of the 2017 version of the DCEU film, the trailer not only showed new material, but polished versions of previous scenes: Superman in his iconic black suit, alien invader Steppenwolf decimating opponents, and even the first-ever live-action appearance of the supervillain Darkseid. However, what really caught fans’ eyes was the ‘stinger’ placed after the title bumper, a subtle nod to the long-running Joker meme....

It is often included in diagrams and illustrations to give a visual representation of user traffic.

We already know that tons of people have loved Skyrim. But seriously, it’s been almost 10 years since the game’s release, and no matter how awesome the game is, most people are in desperate need of some new content to replace it. There’s a reason why Skyrim has stuck around for so long, given its beautiful open world, simple but enjoyable gameplay, and hundreds of quests. But if that’s not quite enough to last you ten full years of entertainment, there are some other open-world RPGs with potential to fill that role....

Sweet Flowers are, quite frankly, a very standard item that is used in a variety of crafting recipes and material combinations, and you will likely have a bunch of them - up until you need some for a specific quest, and it’s the last item you need. Believe me, I’ve been there. Which is exactly why we’re making this guide: plus you’ll probably need to give a bouquet of these to Liben during the Marvelous Merchandise event....

Batroc the Leaper, perhaps one of Captain America’s most comically D-List villains, akin to Spider-Man’s Spot or Fantastic Four’s Mole Man, first appeared way back in 1966, but he joined the MCU in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, donning the color scheme of the comics and his hilarious powerset - leaping. Well, technically he has no powers. Shocker. No, that’s another villain. Rather, he’s an Olympic athlete spurned by the world, a weightlifter with top-notch agility and reflexes - you know, the usual fluff for a non-powered foe to explain how they can keep up with a literal superhuman that can lift a car like it’s a pack of quavers....

This post contains very light spoilers to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. For detractors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise’s interconnectedness can be a burden. Case in point: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which builds directly off the resolution to WandaVision. But it’s somewhat surprising that Multiverse of Madness did not at all connect to another Disney+. Loki was not only the installment that first unleashed the multiverse on the MCU but also shared a head writer in Michael Waldron....

Despite the massive outcry among gamers to avoid preordering video games ahead of launch, I’ve decided to preorder Fallout 4, and here are my reasons why. Over the last couple years, there has been a lot of buzz among gamers against preorder games, and for good reason. After numerous botched launches last year of games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Assassin’s Creed Unity, gamers are understandably worried about developers releasing shoddy products thanks to already making a ton of revenue from preorder sales....

Nowadays with no shortage of superhero movies being released each year, it’s easy to take for granted what filmmakers like Richard Donner and Tim Burton did for the superhero genre. Prior to their DC epics, the form was largely viewed by the mainstream as stuff meant to distract the little ones and shut-ins. This seemed especially true for Batman. But if Donner made people believe a man could fly, Burton made them believe he could also be psychotic enough to dress up like a bat and beat up crazed clowns....

When Capcom and developer Ninja Theory released the first screenshots for their reimagining of the Devil May Cry property, titled DmC, there was s significant backlash directed towards protagonist Dante’s new look. While Ninja Theory claimed that the redesigned Dante was a byproduct of the title’s prequel storyline, it still didn’t assuage fans’ fears that the developer was on the wrong track. To make matters worse, when actual gameplay of DmC in action was released it further frustrated fans that saw the game as lacking a lot of the series’ trademark systems and mechanics....

Genshin Impact burst into the gaming scene when it released a few weeks ago. Seeing 17 million downloads on mobile alone, Genshin Impact is proving to be a success on PC, PS4, and mobile. But some wonder if the game will ever see its way to the Xbox, and that question may now be answered. Developer miHoYo talked with Twinfinite recently about the game, and one important question was answered. In explaining that Genshin Impact would be coming to the PS5, meaning next-gen, miHoYo said that the team has no plans to bring the game to Xbox consoles, both current and next-gen....

The totally tubular Windjammers 2 will be getting an exclusive demo on PC for the Steam Summer Game Festival. Announced by publisher DotEmu this morning, a new trailer shows off a super shot glimpse of what you can expect when booting up the game. I’d normally be agitated at how brief this is, but a demo is right around the corner. You should give it a shot, too. If you’re a fan of arcade sports games from the 90s (or just really miss the Neo Geo), Windjammers 2 will likely scratch that itch....
