Marvel Rivals players have been anticipating Marvel’s Daywalker since the release of the game, and that hype has only grown stronger as the hero shooter has continually teased his arrival. Well, Blade is coming to Marvel Rivals on Aug. 8 — and based on his early gameplay footage, perhaps the wait was worth it. Surprising absolutely no one, Blade’s set to be a Duelist who excels at close to mid...

Tales of the Shire’s setting, the little Hobbit hamlet of Bywater, is absolutely lovely. Its lush forest, picturesque Hobbit-holes, and friendly locals seem to make it an excellent location to settle down and enjoy the cozy Hobbit life. Too bad it’s about to be wrecked in The Scouring of the Shire just years later. I have to admit, I didn’t give much thought to Tales of the Shire’s setting until...
How much should games cost? We asked that question back in 2017, when the standard big-budget release came in at $60, and even made the case for prices being lowered to $50, or even $40. Some studios got the memo: Helldivers 2 launched at $40, for instance, and Dune 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrived at $50. But in spite of our very convincing math and graphs, prices on...

The Sims 4‘s latest expansion pack, Enchanted by Nature, has received quite a bit of promotion from publisher Electronic Arts since its release in July, but its latest promo for the game — an FKA Twigs music video made in-game and sung in Simlish — isn’t as out of left field as it might sound. Set to a Simlish version of “Perfect Stranger,” the music video is a collaboration between...

While the first sublayer Banandium Gems are part of the tutorial,...

Clair Obcur: Expedition 33 was released in April as a relatively polished game. Yet, bug fixes and minor improvements are always welcome, and that’s what Wednesday’s patch 1.4.0 brings. Unlike the game’s first major patch that nerfed Maelle (but not really), patch 1.4.0 centers around quality of life improvements, the most notable being a battle-retry prompt after being defeated by the game’s many, many tough bosses — especially you know...
Back in the mid-1980s, the nighttime soap opera Dallas set the all-time gold standard for terrible uses of the “It was all a dream!” plot reveal, with a ridiculous twist erasing the entire previous season. In the decades that followed, Hollywood has continued to exploit this overused trope. Horror movies, in particular, going back to the beginning of cinema and including genre classics like Carrie and Friday the 13th, have...
Unless you take curation of your social feeds very seriously, the tidal wave of AI slop images and videos has felt nigh inescapable. More worrying still is how often this crashing tide serves to highlight which of our loved ones struggle to discern AI-generated content from all the slop made by human hands. Even worse still, one can often find oneself fooled by an image spat out by a generative...
Amazon Q, the company's AI coding assistant, reportedly exposed almost one million users to a potential system wipe, and the hacker who did it claims to have exposed the 'security theatre' at the heart of Amazon's system.As reported by Techspot, Amazon Q has an open-source GitHub repository for its code, and this is what the hacker took advantage of. They reportedly gave instructions that, if followed, could delete users' files...
Rematch is great—I've already sunk about 40 hours into the thing and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Just one small problem, though: the desync issues are still rough. In any given match, there's a chance you'll make a dive towards a ball—only for the fabric of time to hiccup, subjecting you to an avalanche of vicious 'good jobs!' and a wash of unearned shame.Sloclap's already made efforts to...
