I’d just like wish the best of luck to all the people who were laid off at LucasArts this past week. I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen to some of the games that have been affected due to the layoffs. The Bourne Conspiracygets reviewed, tons of new details on upcoming NIS games are revealed, Amazon gets ravaged due toMGS 4pre-orders and much more happened on Friday.

2024 has proven a trim year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with both screens big and small having little to offer from the franchise. Thankfully, the one and only theatrical outing for the year,Deadpool & Wolverine, doesn’t appear to take that status lightly. As evidenced by the film’s promotional material, Marvel fans are in for a wild, profanity-laden, Multiverse-exploring adventure with the Merc with a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) and his not-so-close friend, if you may call him a friend at all, Logan (Hugh Jackman)....

In an example of teenagers taking just about everything on earth much more seriously than necessary, thirteen-year-old Jake Roberts made a fatal choice to take his own life after an argument with his father and sister. The reason? Jake wanted to play his brand new Wii, acquired with his birthday money (his birthday had been a few days prior). He then retreated to his room, where he was found hanged by his own school uniform tie a few hours later....

Uh Just in case you’ve ever wanted to snuggle up with a giant Pokémon, Namco Bandai (distributing on behalf of The Pokémon Company) has you covered. Later this year a giant Snorlax will go on sale that weighs 26 pounds and is roughly five feet high. While all that is manageable even for a smaller apartment (you can probably stuff him in a closet), the privilege will run you 52,000 Yen, which is roughly $460 US dollars (which includes shipping costs)....

A story of Miyamoto, murder, and millionaires There’s beentalk of aTetrisfilm for years, but from the looks of it, the critical failure of movies likePixelsandBattleshipmay have slowed Hollywood’s enthusiasm for adapting toys and games that have no established narratives of their own. In this case, that’s actually a shame, because the story of the development and localization ofTetrisis quite fascinating. WithTetris: The Games People Play, writer and artist Box Brown recently took that story to comics, and it’s one of the best novels (graphic or otherwise) that I’ve read in years....

Nowhere to go but up Despite the lastDoommovie (2005) going over like a lead balloon, Hollywood is supposedly trying again. If at first you don’t succeed, and all that. Danish actress/musician/modelNina Bergman recently tweetedthat she has signed on to act in a newDoommovie that’s being made by Universal Pictures. That seems to be all the information that’s available. There’s no word about who the film stars, who’s directing, where it’s set (hopefully in hell), or when this will release....

Thefirst Mythic+ week of Season 3is officially behind us. Surely everyone is happy that Sanguine is behind us, but unfortunately, the second week can be somewhat of a pain as well. So what are the Week 2 M+ affixes inWoW10.2? Let’s take a look! WoWSeason 3 Week 2 M+ Affixes Were lucky to have Fortified last week, but of course, that means Week 2 is the boss-focused Tryannical. The second tier is Entangling, which is annoying but easy to deal with, followed by the healer-favorite (just kidding) Bursting....

Did you know today was National Alfred Hitchcock day? I had no clue, but it’s inspired me to rename this feature so that each day we learn of an awesome new holiday such as this. I mean without this day would have stopped for a second and thought about just how awesome Alfred Hitchcock is? No, you would not have. Way to do the thing you’re supposed to do National Alfred Hitchcock Day....

If you don’t agree thatDandadanis this season’s best anime, you have to at least admit it features the most impressive animation in a long while. It is the adaptation of the still-running manga of the same name, which has just had its 18th volume released on January 5th. The anime’s first season has recently come to a close, but — given its overwhelming audience love — I’m willing to bet we’ll be seeing moreDandadanin the near future....
