Maybe chuck him a few Opal Fruits to be on the safe side? While you’re doing that, here’s a selection of recommendations for tonight’s TV… Good Omens 9pm, BBC Two David Tennant and Michael Sheen are brilliant as demon and angel Crowley and Aziraphale in this six-part Neil Gaiman-written adaptation of the Gaiman-Pratchett apocalypse comedy novel, making its BBC debut. Terry Pratchett: Back In Black 9.50pm, BBC Two Another chance for Pratchett fans to see the 2017 docudrama about Pterry starring Paul Kaye as the man himself, revisiting his life and works, featuring contributions from Eric Idle, Neil Gaiman, Rhianna Pratchett and more....

It’s been three years since Bethesda shocked the world by revealing the first Elder Scrolls 6 trailer at E3 2018, and we haven’t exactly learned much about the game since then. We know that Bethesda wants you to play it for a long time, we can make some reasonable guesses regarding its setting, but that’s about it. Granted, it’s a little sad that it feels like The Elder Scrolls 6 somehow manages to dominate the conversation whenever Starfield comes up, but considering what the Elder Scrolls franchise means to millions (and the incredible financial success of Skyrim) it’s hardly a surprise that so many people seem to be wondering what every new piece of Starfield info tells us about The Elder Scrolls 6....

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Episode 9 Talk about sucking all the air from the room. Vampires are impressive, lethal, and mythic, but energy vampires can take center stage with the subtlety of a passing wind, breezing by. Silent, but deadly, the stench of their memories lingers on interminably. In What We Do in the Shadows season 3 episode 9 “A Farewell,” Nandor (Kayvan Novak) makes a final decision as the sad co-head of the Vampiric Council, but Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) usurps all authority, attention, and cause for celebration or consolation....

Anna and the French Kiss follows Atlantan teenager Anna who is unexpectedly informed by her father that she will be attending her senior year abroad at a boarding school in Paris. (The horror!) Anna is pissed. She has a good job at the local movie theater, an excellent best friend, and a swoon-worthy crush—all of which she’ll have to leave behind to attend school in a country where she doesn’t even speak the language....

While NBC officially canceled Manifest back on June 14, the notion of the series ending was widely taken with an auspicious grain of salt for multiple reasons. After all, the story of a television series being canceled by a network for sinking ratings only to be rescued by another platform on the back of hashtag-heavy social media campaigns from a passionate fanbase is one that has become familiar. While, predictably, #SaveManifest, was gaining momentum, the real kicker here was that fate had seemingly delivered a boon, since the first two seasons of Manifest had just arrived on the biggest streaming platform of them all, Netflix, where, according to the platform’s public ranking system, it became its most popular series—that very week, no less!...

You may notice that I didn’t mention graphics: one of the cornerstones of most PC vs. console debates. It’s also a topic that’s become increasingly popular as AMD and NVIDIA release their new GPUs which some will certainly argue already make the next-generation of gaming look slightly outdated. Maybe that’s true to a degree, but as time goes on, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the future of video game graphics is more often shaped by consoles rather than PCs....

Riverdale Season 6 Episode 3 “If Rivervale is the final battleground between good and evil, is anybody’s soul safe?” With just two more episodes until the “Rivervale” experiment concludes, it is safe to say that the writers have perfectly utilized this break from their, what I will laughingly refer to as “traditional” storytelling, to completely revitalize the series creatively. Three weeks into the show’s sixth season and Riverdale is the most entertaining it has ever been — no small feat given that it accomplished this without its main character or usual narrative structure....

Contrary to a litany of English-language headlines, Squid Game didn’t come out of nowhere. Korea’s thriving entertainment industry is responsible for television, movies, music, and artists of all kinds. There are headlines in mainstream Western, English-language publications like Forbes going back for several years heralding the arrival of K-dramas. But for many Western viewers, if it’s not on Netflix, it doesn’t exist. Barack Obama referenced the Hallyu wave in a 2012 speech....

Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 12 As Legends of Tomorrow season 6 heads towards its close, the shape of the endgame starts to become clearer, and the first piece that is taking shape is the departure of John Constantine. The current season of Legends will be Matt Ryan’s last as the live action embodiment of DC Comics’ most prominent and scummiest warlock (thankfully not his last with the show – he’s returning next season as a new character)....

Westworld Season 4 has already shifted everything fans were expecting from the show. With a few new characters to explore and familiar faces emerging from the wilderness, it’s clear that the conflict isn’t over just yet. There’s no telling how many more seasons of the show there will be, but as Season 4 continues to unfold, it’s obvious that showrunner Alison Schapker and creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, have an endgame in mind....

Specifically, the interviewer asked, “Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don’t sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?” Spencer offered a quick response. “Yes,” Spencer said. “I don’t want to be flip about that. This deal was not done to take games away from another player base like that. Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How do we keep other players from playing these games?...

The Xbox Series X checks in at about 5.9 inches wide and 11.8 inches tall. Its back panel features two USB ports, an Ethernet port, a storage expansion slot, and an HDMI 2.1 out port. There’s also a USB port in the front near the disc drive. The Xbox Series S, meanwhile, is roughly 2.5 inches wide and 10.8 inches tall. It’s about as tall as an Xbox One S if you’re looking for a more practical reference....

Young Justice Outsiders Episode 16 “Illusion of Control” finishes setting up the new status quo for the second half of Young Justice: Outsiders‘ season, and…I think they might be opening the door for the Teen Titans. Beast Boy has emerged as a key character in this season’s overall story. Early on in the season, he was the one introducing us to the human side of the meta trafficking operation with his PSAs and interviews from the set of Space Trek 3016....

“It does use that [Zimmer] riff,” Holkenborg says when we sit down for a Zoom roundtable interview. “But what was missing, potentially, in an earlier approach is that everything Diana does is covered with a blanket of being feminine and being respectful that she’s a woman. My answer [to that] is, ‘Have you actually seen how she kicks ass?’ She takes a whole army out by herself. It’s like why are we softening up her music?...

Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life. Either way, Christmas episodes tend to demonstrate the strengths of our favorite series, and it’s long been a festive ritual of mine to wheel out old DVD sets and settle back for a few favorites during December....

Every Zelda game includes several dungeons. Each of those dungeons houses unique items that are necessary for future challenges, and most of those items are guarded by tough boss and mini-boss monsters that serve as their own setpieces. More often than not, Zelda dungeons are the highlight of each adventure. Just because they are the best portions of their own respective games, though, doesn’t mean all dungeons are created equal....

There is no console that celebrated the brilliance of the platformer better than the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The SNES may be best known for expanding the adventure and RPG genres, as well as raising a generation’s expectations for video game graphics, but few consoles have come close to rivaling the Super Nintendo’s library of classic platforming titles. It’s hard to narrow this list down to just 15 games, but from action-based platformers to pure platforming classics, these are the best examples of this timeless genre that the SNES gifted the gaming world....

So far as that goes, there are few consoles in gaming history that can match the NES’ legendary lineup of difficult bosses that taught many of us the simple facts about the cruelty of life. Many of the best bosses of the NES era were screen-sized monstrosities that were designed to make us wonder why the developers hated us so much. While no NES boss will ever be harder than whichever one haunted your childhood, these are the 15 NES boss fights that will break you no matter which games you grew up with....

The absurd difficulty of the average NES game can be attributed to a variety of factors, but the fact remains that there’s a reason the term “NES Hard” exists in the gaming lexicon. The hardest NES games weren’t just difficult: they were nightmarish excursions into another world where demands for perfect inputs met fundamentally unforgiving (and sometimes simply terrible) game design. Those are the games we’re going to look at today....

However, that doesn’t mean that the GameCube’s library lacks truly difficult games. If anything, a select few developers saw advancements in the medium as a chance to advance the art of difficult game design and rose to the occasion by creating titles that would make even the most hardcore old-school gamers blush as they try and try again to beat them. They may not be as ridiculous as the hardest games of the 8 and 16-bit eras, but the hardest GameCube games ever made prove that the spirit of that time was very much alive at the start of a new generation....
