Subscribe to the magazine here. The iiyama G-Master GB3266QSU monitor (£366) combines a large 32-inch screen with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and a high-contrast VA panel. The end result should be ideal for up-close gaming and desktop use, as well as sitting back and enjoying fantastic-looking video and games. When it comes to styling, though, the all-black plastic construction tips towards mundane and utilitarian rather than minimalist sleekness. That said, the curve of its impressively slim panel does give it a certain elegance....

Who stole the paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum? While This Is A Robbery is careful not to make any declarations about who actually pulled the heist (because, like the rest of us, they don’t actually know), the docu-series does seem to come to the broad conclusion that it was probably the Boston Mafia (also known, among other things, as the Patriarca crime family), active in New England at the time....

Wildwood Whispers by Willa Reece Type: NovelPublisher: RedhookRelease date: Aug. 17 Den of Geek says: We’re big fans of stories about the magic of nature or magic that’s connected, whether scientifically or in a more arcane manner, to the world around it. This book looks rooted in place and a little bit spooky. Publisher’s summary: At the age of eleven, Mel Smith’s life found its purpose when she met Sarah Ross....

Absynthe by Brendan P. Bellecourt Type: NovelPublisher: DAWRelease date: Dec. 7 Den of Geek says: Epic fantasy author Bradley P. Beaulieu makes his foray into sci-fi with what he describes as a “cautionary, decopunk tale” perfect for the modern roaring 20s in which we find ourselves. Publisher’s summary: In his sci-fi debut, Bellecourt explores an alternate roaring 20s where a shell-shocked soldier must uncover latent telepathic abilities to save himself and the people around him....

Back in 1951, the New York Yankees were still on top, the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, the Giants roamed New York’s Polo Grounds, and fans could collect the first set of Topps playing cards at one cent for a pack of two. Needless to say, a lot has changed the past 70 years, all of the above remain woven into the fabric of baseball. And much like last year’s Topps Project 2020, the trading card giant is giving artists the freedom to put their own stamp on traditional trading cards with Project70....

Netflix’ latest German sci-fi Tribes of Europa comes from the same producers that brought us twisty time-travel sci-fi Dark. If you’ve already binged all six episodes, you may have lingering questions, we certainly do. There was plenty left unexplained by that cliffhanger of an ending, which we can only hope suggests that there may be a second season on the horizon. The series follows three siblings of the Origine tribe, all of whom end up following very different paths after they discover a mysterious cube....

It’s a singular career and one indicative of one of the brightest talents of his generation. “I’ve always kind of looked at my arc in the business as being diverse, and try to find the things that are challenging,” Snipes tells Den of Geek. “If I do a comedy, then I’ll look to do a drama. If I do a drama, then I’ll look to do action. If I do action, then I might look to do a comedy....

The most likely needle mover here is likely Robert Downey Jr., who plays a supporting role as hot-shot secret agent John Royce, who joins U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones, reprising his Oscar-winning role from The Fugitive) and the old team on a manhunt centered on a highly-skilled escaped prisoner named Sheridan (Wesley Snipes). Sheridan’s been accused of murdering two of Royce’s fellow secret agents. The ensuing pursuit thriller is a bit of a flop in many ways, but let’s keep the focus on Downey for a moment....

Miguel is known as Lil Mayor in the reluctantly transitional neighborhood. He is on a mission to save Tony’s bodega, where he basically grew up. He is the de facto leader of a gang which consists of his two best friends. Bobby (Gerald W. Jones III) just got kicked out of school for fighting, and the local priest is keeping a watchful eye on him. The son of a slain OG, a Concourse gang is also checking him out while cruising for recruits....

Vikings Season 4 Episode 10 Not since Adam and Eve’s sons battled it out in the Garden of Eden has the residual resentment of one brother towards another reached such epic proportions. What’s so compelling in the Vikings mid-season finale “The Last Ship” is that the acrimony driving both Ragnar and Rollo spills across the continent impacting not only the lives of innocents, but the course of history as well. The momentum has clearly shifted during this family feud, and we witness a fascinating transformation and role reversal take place....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 14 “We should never forget our past. Ever.” Perhaps Gunnhild says it best when she confides in her dead husband Bjorn that “the time for great heroes is over,” a statement that speaks to the loss of direction so many of the characters now experience as the Viking age reaches a crossroads. “Lost Souls” journeys through a complicated tangle of feelings that focus on the leadership vacuums a new world order sets into motion....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 5 Vikings turns even more introspective as surreptitious political machinations in both Rus and Norway gather steam, increasing the likelihood of an explosive series of events that promises to radically alter the Scandanavian and Asiatic ruling landscapes. And while Hvitserk continues to psychologically spiral out of control fighting his inner demons in Kattegat, “The Key” places a similar obstacle in front of Ivar just as his plan to overthrow Prince Oleg takes its first steps....

Now that WandaVision episode 4 has expanded a bit to show more of what’s going on, it really ties into what made the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe work, but in a very surreal way. The first Avengers movie was about the culmination in connections and bringing together the top heroes that existed so far in continuity. Now that we’re four Avengers movies in and we’re taking our first step into the era of Marvel’s Disney+ TV shows, we have such an odd collection of characters from all over the MCU converging....

The only major plot point he discussed was the character of Azula and that he had always planned for her to have a redemption arc. In her deepest and darkest moment she would have turned to Zuko for help, paralleling his own journey out of darkness. He also said that one of the reasons season 4 didn’t happen was that ATLA co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were focusing on The Last Airbender film directed by M....

The Peacemaker finale had at least two more scenes that we’ve added to the long list of “I can’t believe they filmed that” shots this show pulled off. It also made a huge change in the status quo for the DCEU’s clandestine services. After Peacemaker, Vigilante, and the gang successfully blew up the cow WITHOUT resorting to using the Scabies Helmet, Adebayo held a press conference to set the record straight....

It’s not only the attitudes towards women leaders that are Medieval in Westeros, the medicine’s also pretty much from the Dark Ages. The Seven Kingdoms may have magic on their side, but they lack antibiotics. Hence the loss, between House of the Dragon episodes two and three, of a couple of King Viserys I’s fingers. In ‘The Rogue Prince‘, we saw Viserys receiving treatment for an infected finger cut he’d sustained on the Iron Throne....

The newly released trailer certainly has a different, more somber feel to it from the ones released for the previous installments in the trilogy, and a lot of the focus is on Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), whose origins—most likely the result of an experiment by the film’s main villain, the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji)—will be explored in more detail than before. So with both Rocket’s life and, in all probability, the fate of the universe at stake, which of the Guardians won’t stick around?...

Before we continue, here’s a quick refresher. For only $20 a year, Nintendo Switch Online hands gamers access to online multiplayer features, voice chat, save data cloud functionality, and an ever-growing collection of NES and SNES games. Sounds like a steal, especially compared to PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold, which ask for $60 annually and only offer a trickle of free games instead of an archive’s worth. But the devil is in the details....

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 closes another chapter in the wise Jedi Master’s life, but is this really the last we’ll see of Ewan McGregor in the Star Wars universe? The final scenes of the show certainly suggest that this is the end of the road. Obi-Wan has saved Leia, made peace with Anakin’s fate, and ended his watch over Luke until the time is right. He even reunites with his old master Qui-Gon Jinn, setting up Sir Alec Guinness’ own story arc in the Original Trilogy — Obi-Wan will learn how to become one with the Force....

World of Warcraft was released in 2004. That’s almost 20 years’ worth of memories, loot, and expansions. Currently, the game features eight expansions full of new classes, races, and content (of varying quality), and that number will jump to nine sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Blizzard announced World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. That upcoming expansion will give players a new location in the form of the Dragon Isles, a new dragon-themed race and class, and new dragon mounts....
