Will New World S Delay Fix The Amazon Mmo S Biggest Problems

If this all seems a little familiar, that’s likely because this is actually the fourth time that New World has been (publically) delayed. New World was supposed to launch in May 2020, but was subsequently delayed to August 25, spring 2021, August 31, and is now set to be released on September 28. The specific reasons for each of those delays vary, but each can at least partially be attributed to negative player feedback and lingering technical issues....

Will Star Trek Strange New Worlds Cast More Characters From The Cage

Paramount has also officially welcomed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast members Babs Olusanmokun (Dune, The Defenders), Christina Chong (Line of Duty, Black Mirror), Celia Rose Gooding (Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill), Jess Bush (Playing for Keeps, Les Norton), and Melissa Navia (New Amsterdam, Dietland).

Wrath Of The Lich King Classic Every Wow Class Ranked Best To Worst

The long-awaited release of World of Warcraft Classic‘s Wrath of the Lich King update is finally here. As players prepare to dive back into one of WoW‘s most beloved expansions (or play through it for the first time), the question on many minds is simply “Which WoTLK class is the best of them all?” As is usually the case, it’s kind of hard to answer that question. Not only does every WoTLK class (and specialization) bring something special to the game, but how much you get out of a class tends to depend on how much you understand that class....

Young Justice Phantoms And The Cult Of Zod

Young Justice Season 4 Episode 20 For a show that took a 10 year break between seasons, Young Justice has done an admirable job of keeping up with plots going through its entire run. The theme of grief and the cost of superheroics has been there from the start, and Vandal Savage (and to a lesser degree Darkseid) have been pulling strings for basically my entire ’30s. So there’s an argument to be made that the crew should be able to weave together a cable’s worth of plot threads....

Zack Snyder S Original Vision For Justice League Faded Long Before His Exit

Picture this for a Justice League plotline: Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a recently widowed Lois Lane (Amy Adams). While the notion of a Batman/Lois Lane romance is not entirely unheard of in the annals of DC history, it might seem awkward for a film franchise that was still taking its first steps. Nevertheless, this was a major angle that Snyder intended to inject into the film, as revealed in a lengthy Vanity Fair exposé....

Zelda Skyward Sword Joy Cons A Blow To Left Handed Link Fans

The colors alone make these controllers a winner, but the real joy they inspire comes from the fact that they’re modeled after Link’s most famous pieces of equipment. The right Joy-Con is designed to resemble the Master Sword while the left sports a design similar to the one typically featured on the Hylian Shield. Much more than just a wink and a nod to the franchise, the layout of these beautiful controllers will offer an additional layer of immersion for Zelda fans who want to feel as if they’re truly swinging the Master Sword and holding the Hylian Shield....

Heartstopper Tackles Lgbtq Bullying With Beauty And Grace

Protagonists Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) and Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) are the definition of opposites attract. Nick is the star of the school rugby team. He has girls who fawn over him and a calm demeanor that seems to far outmatch his crude jock teammates. Charlie is the school’s resident gay nerd. Lonely, quiet, and soft-spoken, it would seem that he wouldn’t have a chance with someone like Nick. Because fiction often lets us realize the unimaginable, we get to see these two precarious love birds fall completely over themselves every time they spend another second in each other’s company....

1883 Episode 10 Review This Is Not Your Heaven

1883 Episode 10 Near the conclusion of this 1883 season 1 finale, the great Graham Greene’s newly-introduced character, Spotted Eagle, tells Tim McGraw’s hero of the story, James Dutton, that James looks “like a man who plans”. There’s a reason 1883’s creator, Taylor Sheridan often writes about these steadfast characters born of an era where a man’s love of his family and his land was everything. There’s a reason why Sheridan always has the Dutton family typically one step ahead of their rivals....

1899 Explained The Ending The Twists And Just What On Earth Was Going On

Ever tried to pick a piece of eggshell out of a just-cracked egg? It’s right there, but the slippery forces at play keep sliding it out of grasp. That’s our brains trying to make sense of Netflix series 1899. Just when you think you’ve got a grip on the truth behind the Kerberos, the Prometheus, the simulation and why the Creator did what they did, away it slides, back into the goop....

20 Best Video Game Endings Ever

We’re’ here today to celebrate those great endings. Truly great video game endings aren’t the anomaly they once were when the medium was young, but there’s still something of an elite group of video game endings that have raised the bar to a level we would have never previously dreamed of.

A Guide To Pet Safety During The Holiday Season

As the human animal has demonstrated time and time again, there’s probably not much we can do to mitigate the dangers of the winter holidays. Brittle, flammable Christmas trees must be lit, and blister packaging must be torn open with a giant knife (NOTE: Please do not do this anymore). But hopefully we can at least all agree to do our best to protect the other, non-human animals we like to call our friends....

Ad Astra Ending Explained

The distance between fathers and sons can feel lightyears apart, even when they’re in the same room. This is the basic premise of James Gray’s moody and introspective Ad Astra, which places a literal solar system between Roy (Brad Pitt) and Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones). It is also the one fleeting, if tangible, emotion to take hold when Pitt’s stoic son must let go of his even more taciturn father....

Alan Wake Remastered Gives New Hope To Long Overdue Sequel

While it’s easy enough to look forward to any chance to play Alan Wake again (or for the first time), it’s hard to look at this news and not ultimately see it as the best reason yet to hope that Remedy Entertainment might actually finally give us the proper Alan Wake sequel that the horror game’s most adamant fans have waited over a decade for. More importantly, it’s hard not to wonder if that potential sequel will also finally give us a real reason to hope that a Triple-A single-player horror game resurgence is indeed on the horizon....

American Horror Story Double Feature Opens With Stephen King Ian Terror

American Horror Story Season 10 Episodes 1 and 2 For 1984, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk channeled their inner Sean S. Cunningham in order to craft a campy, funny, bloody ode to classic slasher movies from Friday the 13th to Sleepaway Camp. From the very opening moments of this season, in which a car sweeps down a deserted two-lane highway along a cold, frosty beach, the first half of American Horror Story: Double Feature, dubbed “Red Tide”, evokes nothing more strongly than the works of Stephen King and Joe Hill....

Animal Crossing S Turnip Market Tried To Warn Us About The Gamestop Stock Drama

One of the most common things you’ll hear about the whole situation is that it caught everyone by surprise. Even those closest to this story from the beginning would have a hard time honestly telling you that they ever thought a group of investors on Reddit who trade stocks as often as memes would have been able to predict that GameStop, one of the worst companies in gaming, would turn the financial world upside down....

Aquaman Review Dc Superhero Movie Sails Through Stormy Weather

With plot elements coincidentally similar to this year’s Black Panther, and other far less innocent resemblances to the works of Richard Donner, Sam Raimi, and a legion of comparable navigators on these familiar tides, there is nary a moment or scene in Aquaman that you haven’t seen done elsewhere. Yet there is still a charm to the pleasure cruise, and it is in large part due to James Wan’s captaining of a leaky ship....

Ari Aster Teases 4 Hour Nightmare Comedy As Next Film

We imagine that Aster’s next film will be of similar nightmare fuel, even if there are a few more chuckles along the way. Indeed, this is exactly what the filmmaker teased while speaking with the University of California, Santa Barbara’s A.S. Program Board (via The Daily Nexus and Slashfilm). “All I know is that it’s gonna be four hours long, over 17 [years of age],” Aster told aspiring filmmakers about his new screenplay he just finished a draft on....

Best Movies Coming To Netflix In February 2022

Indeed, for those inclined to stay home but not interested in watching the Winter Olympics, Netflix has refilled its library with a variety of films.
