Infinity War has been a hot topic lately. Thor even got a new hammer! For those that only watch the movies though, they may have been confused to see other fans recognizing the hammer, Stormbreaker, from the comic books. There are many versions of Thor, almost as many Thor’s as there are realities (which it a lot!). For every Thor (and even more), there is his hammer. Commonly known as Mjolnir, this iconic superhero weapon was inspired by the true myths of Thor in Norse mythos....

This article contains spoilers for the Interview with the Vampire season 1 finale. Interview with the Vampire has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2022 TV calendar. AMC‘s supremely atmospheric series uses Anne Rice‘s classic tome as a jumping off point to modernize the vampiric recollections of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) as he recounts his time with Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia (Bailey Bass), all the while maintaining the impeccable gothic vibes of its source....

3D Realms is no stranger to legal disputes: in 2013, the company sued Gearbox for unpaid royalties pertaining to the Duke Nukem series, and one year later was in turn sued by Gearbox for attempting to develop a Duke Nukem game. While that title never came to fruition, the company would produce a game called Bombshell later on that year. In 2018, 3D Realms announced that it was making a prequel to Bombshell called Ion Maiden - and that’s where the trouble began....

When Microsoft General Marketing Manager suggested his company might start employing the subsidized subscription model for the forthcoming Xbox 720 — rumored to be called simply ‘Xbox’ — questions arose over just who Microsoft’s target audience is for their next console. However, a new Xbox 720 rumor suggest the idea of targeting multiple audiences is very much a part of Microsoft’s game plan. In fact, there are even some claims that there will be two versions of the Xbox 720 developed, one geared towards the hardcore gamer, and one geared towards the casual electronics consumer (note the use of consumer and not gamer)....

While there are quite a few big things we learned from the recent GTA 6 leaks, the leaked media released so far is also filled with fascinating little details. Actually, those who comb through the leaks closely enough will find a few early examples of GTA 6‘s arsenal of weapons, collection of vehicles, and even a few soundtrack selections. Once again, I have to warn everyone to take these GTA 6 leaks with a slight grain of salt....

The death of George Floyd and the subsequent mass protests have thrown the United States into a bit of chaos. This includes the video game industry, with many game developers and publishers pushing back events to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The latest event delayed in support of Black Lives Matter is the Guerrilla Collective, which was originally scheduled to take place on June 6 as part of the ongoing Summer Game Fest events....

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is notorious for its use of “energy” - the resource that governs almost every action players can take in the game. However, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players only start out with 24 energy, which is barely enough to get through one lesson, and may be wondering how to increase their max energy. The only way to permanently increase max energy in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery that we’ve discovered so far is by attending flying lessons....

HBO Max already has the entire library of legendary anime production company Studio Ghibli on its platform, it’s now begun to fill it out with the works of another popular animation studio and an acclaimed director. Warner Media announced that the Studio Trigger movie Promare would be coming to HBO Max along with a pair of movies from director Masaaki Yuasa. Yuasa is one of Japan’s more popular directors known for a more free-form style....

Fresh off the long-awaited arrival of Zack Snyder’s Justice League (a.k.a. the fabled Snyder Cut), HBO Max has no need to appease fandom culture in April 2021. But the streaming service is gonna do it anyway! The most notable new release for HBO Max this month is the HBO series The Nevers. This show, created by Joss Whedon, is set in a 19th century steampunk London and finds a sizable portion of the population (predominantly women) having been “Touched” by mysterious paranormal powers....

This article contains House of the Dragon spoilers through episode 7 and some light speculative spoilers from Fire & Blood. The race for the world’s most uncomfortable chair is heating up, as House of the Dragon leans into the fire half of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga. You might need a copy of Martin’s Fire & Blood book to keep track of the various Targaryens, Velaryons, and Hightowers, but as we approach the season one finale, the major players are coming into focus....

It’s almost time to play Yakuza: Like A Dragon, the latest in a long franchise that takes a very different direction than the beat-’em-ups of old. Instead of playing as a cantankerous yakuza soldier who uses his fists to solve problems, you play as an adorable doofus with frizzy hair and calls up a horde of crayfish to do away with his enemies. No, that’s not a joke–Ichiban literally calls up a seafood vendor to throw crayfish during fights....

Remothered: Broken Porcelain, the second installment in developer Stormind Games’ chilling Remothered series, is gearing up for its October release with some disturbing new footage. The video raises more questions than it answers, however. The first Remothered title, Tormented Fathers, was released in 2018 without much fanfare or mainstream attention, but garnered a number of awards and affection from horror fans as a cult title. The series is also widely regarded as the spiritual successor to Japan’s Clocktower survival horror franchise....

The Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster is looking more likely by the day. Between the unannounced “HD Title” set to be published by EA before the end of the fiscal year, the new edition of Dark Horse’s original Mass Effect trilogy concept art book set for release in 2021, and BioWare’s need for a sure-fire success after Andromeda and Anthem, many fans are hoping that this year will see the remaster finally confirmed....

Rabbit holes have been on Daniel Lombroso’s mind during the last four years. Perhaps they’ve been there longer since his awareness of the alt-right predates his work on the new documentary White Noise. Yet ever since a fateful day in 2016, when he pointed a camera at a band of young white American men offering up their arms in a Nazi salute, he’s thoroughly explored one of the darkest rabbit holes in 21st century Western culture—and he’s shined a light on how so many got there, only to spread more hate out of it....

Jiub’s warmth beckons you to life, your character’s eyes opening, ears tuning into the coarse waves caressing the side of the ship you’re stranded on. You’re summoned by an agitated guard who slumps you up onto the creaking damp deck. You’ve arrived at Seyda Neen, a quaint port town in Vvardenfell, the inner island of Morrowind. From here, your adventure begins, and the world that’s ripe for your picking is already meticulously laid out....

“Leon! Helllp!” If you’ve played Resident Evil 4, odds are those words live rent-free in your brain. It makes sense, considering you probably hear them hundreds of times throughout the 2005 classic. As you escort the president’s daughter Ashley Graham through hordes of infected European villagers, she’s the first to let you know if something’s wrong. By yelling at you. Loudly. What, you expected her to actually do anything? That’s funny....
