I recently got in touch with former Obsidian writer Eric Fenstermaker to learn everything I could about one of my favorite bits of dialogue in RPG history from Pillars of Eternity's first expansion, The White March Part 1. But this also entailed learning a lot more about Zahua, the character who delivered the line, and it struck me once again how rare he is: A CRPG monk who's actually really...

In Donkey Kong Bananza, The Divide is the fourth layer that’ll you descend into, and its full of pink and blue goo — and a few Banandium Gems (golden bananas). The Divide is a fairly short level, so it’s extremely easy to blitz through and miss all of the bananas hidden inside. Make sure to look up and down as you traverse the area or else you’ll miss out on...
South Park, on the cusp of its 27th season, is caught in behind-the-scenes turmoil that now threatens the show’s future. At the center of the conflict is the $8 billion acquisition of Paramount by David Ellison’s Skydance Media, a deal that has become a major flashpoint for creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

The bug indiscriminately identified random Sims as...

The moment that got the single biggest reaction at the packed screening of Superman that I attended was when Superman saves a squirrel. It takes place during the kaiju battle, it’s over in seconds, and it’s composed of two shots. In the first, we see a wall of debris roaring toward the innocent creature, and a streak of blue and red whisking it away. In the second shot, Superman (David...
I owe the data analysts at Nintendo an apology. My first 20 minutes of Donkey Kong Bananza were spent in the tutorial room with the “Press Y to punch” message persistently, or desperately, reminding me to follow instructions and proceed with the game. Please understand, Nintendo. The tutorial was clear and effective, and I wasn’t stuck. I was systematically demolishing everything in sight and hoarding as much gold as possible. ...
