Hilarious Grand Theft Auto Memes Only True Fans Will Understand

The Grand Theft Auto world can be a super dark place at times. After all, these titles showcase some of the worst and most heinous crimes. They actively encourage you to steal, kill, deal drugs, and descend ever deeper into the seedy underpants of the criminal world. This isn’t Barney The Dinosaur’s Cutesy Adventure, that’s for darn tooting. Rockstar’s seminal series has been controversial right from the off, of course. The team, not content with that, try to up the ante with each new game, culminating in the character of Trevor....

Hitman 3 S Dlc Roadmap Sets The Game Apart From Other Franchise Entries

Hitman 3 released recently to a great critical and commercial response. A finale to the World of Assassination trilogy, which started in 2016 with Hitman, Hitman 3 arguably has the best collection of levels in the series. The game has already recouped all of its development costs within a week of release, which has likely delighted everyone involved. IO Interactive has since revealed its plans regarding the future of the game via a DLC roadmap, further setting the game apart from the ones that came before....

How A Rainbow Six Siege League Got Its Start In Canada

Rainbow Six Siege is a game that has experienced atypical growth in its now almost-three-year lifespan. Instead of launching with a huge amount of players that dwindled as time progressed, it started with humble numbers and has continued to grow ever since. 2018 has seen its highest ever concurrent player count, and things are showing no signs of slowing down. It’s clear that free-play days, tiered pricing schemes, and regular content additions to Rainbow Six Siege have all contributed to its sustained growth, but another factor can’t be overlooked: eSports....

How All In The Family Changed The Tv Landscape

All in the Family is roundly considered a touchstone for television achievement now, but when it debuted 50 years ago, even the network carrying it hoped it would fizzle quickly and unnoticed. CBS put an army of operators at phone lines expecting a barrage of complaints from offended middle Americans demanding its cancellation. Those calls didn’t come. What came was a deluge of support from people hoping this mid-season replacement was a permanent addition to the network’s lineup....

How Avengers The Kang Dynasty Can Build To Secret Wars In Marvel Phase 6

No matter how popular Iron Man and Black Panther were, the MCU really came together for most casual viewers when the primary villain took center stage. After years of cameos and hints, Thanos the Mad Titan fully emerged in Avengers: Infinity War, giving the previous decade of movies renewed focus and purpose. Although we know that Jonathan Majors’s Kang the Conqueror will be the overall bad guy in Marvel’s Phases 4 through 6, aka The Multiverse Saga, he’s very much in the nascent stages....

How Color Takes Video Game Worlds From Ordinary To Extraordinary

I was taught from an early age that colors were used as identifiers. Whether that be for when to press the brake at a traffic light or what emotion to feel, colors were everywhere and they defined different things. I especially noticed and realized the symbolic nature of color as I studied film throughout college. We had whole lectures on the importance of color. What it represented. What each hue meant....

The Fortnite servers have come back up from the weekly maintenance and the new Infinity Gauntlet limited time mode is live. While Epic Games had previously teased the crossover event with an image, we now know exactly how the mode works and it’s actually quite cool. The basics of Infinity Gauntlet are fairly simple. The titular glove will land somewhere on the map via a meteor strike. Any player is free to pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and doing so will turn that player into Thanos....

How Is It Not A Coincidence That Bungie Made Mainline Halo Games In Perfect Sync With Shrek Movies

There’s an eerie similarity in the release dates between Shrek and Halo. How is it that Bungie managed to coordinate a major Halo release with every Shrek film? Bizarre, uncanny, it’s got to be more than a coincidence. And Reddit - being Reddit - has drawn lines to connect the dots, highlighting how the Spartan and Ogre are connected. Bungie released its first Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved, in 2001, and that happened to be the same year when the DreamWorks animation film Shrek was released....

How Microsoft Can Win Next Gen With The Xbox Series S

Instead of just releasing one next-generation console, this time around, Microsoft will have two next-gen machines available for consumers. One is the Xbox Series X, an ultra-powerful machine that claims to be the most powerful video game console on the market. The other is the Xbox Series S, which is considerably weaker than its Xbox Series X counterpart, but also comes with a much lower price tag. And as it so happens, the Xbox Series S, not the Series X, could be Microsoft’s ticket to making a big comeback next generation....

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains major spoilers for the Season 3 finale. Starfleet doesn’t always seek out new life and new civilizations; sometimes, it accidentally creates it. Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation can easily quote from various Picard monologues in the classic episode “The Measure of a Man,” but what about the Voyager episode “Author, Author?” Just like Data had to prove his sentience in TNG, the holographic Doctor fought for his rights to express himself when he released his holographic pseudo-memoir, Photons Be Free!...
