While it’s certainly possible to enjoy and beat Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands regardless of which class you pick at the start of the game, it’s pretty clear that the developers intended for each class to offer a fairly unique experience. That was obviously a great decision in terms of gameplay variety and replay value, but it also means that you really need to know what you’re getting into before you pick your class....
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu Type: NovelPublisher: William MorrowRelease date: Jan. 18 Den of Geek says: Sequoia Nagamatsu’s debut promises to be for 2022 what rereading Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven was for 2020: a speculative plague narrative that may hit too close to home, but that may also be just the catharsis we need as we continue to adjust our lives in a post-covid era....
Williams takes centre stage here as Kim Oakes, an early 20-something oddball who, since the murder of her father, has been sequestered away in the wilderness with her doomsday-prepping mother (Sian Clifford) for most of her life. Feeling compelled to go on a belated coming-of-age adventure, Kim sets out to find her dad’s killer and along the way ropes mismatched brothers Jay (Taheen Modak) and Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) into her scheme....
Vampires vs. the Bronx comes from Dominican Republic-raised director Oz Rodriguez, who has worked on Saturday Night Live, A.P. Bio, The Last Man On Earth, and Shrill and Sunnyside. Rodriguez co-wrote the screenplay with Blaise Hemingway (UglyDolls). With the picture being produced by Lorne Michaels, Erin David, Bert Hamelinck, and Michael Sagol, Vampires vs. the Bronx will be suitable for all ages and reflect the city’s multiculturalism and youth. “Three gutsy kids from a rapidly gentrifying Bronx neighborhood stumble upon a sinister plot to suck all the life from their beloved community,” reads the official synopsis....
In its final season Vikings tied up the story of Ragnar and his sons, and ended with a pitch-perfect, almost poetic, coda. Ragnar, however, was just the beginning of the Vikings’ story. Later this year, Netflix will bring us the saga’s concluding chapter, Vikings: Valhalla. Set more than 150 years after the events of its parent show, Vikings: Valhalla charts the Vikings’ last glorious push as a cultural force with which to be reckoned, while chronicling some of the early 11th century’s most intrepid, influential and powerful figures....
Vikings Season 4 Episode 14 “I cannot kill you, yet you must die.” It’s been an amazing four-year run. As we’ve watched Ragnar Lothbrok regretfully age, both physically and emotionally, we always knew the time would come when we’d be forced to accept his death whatever the circumstances and decide whether or not Vikings could survive without him. However, “In the Uncertain Hour Before the Morning,” we’re not asked to come to terms with that quite yet, and instead this chapter resolves some long standing issues that require other deaths before Ragnar finally meets his own....
Season five of Vikings saw Ivar’s dreams of rule, romance, and Godhood collapse around him like a volcano on Floki’s head. Defeated by his band of brothers, betrayed by his wife, Freydis, the tyrant was forced to disguise himself as a peasant and smuggle himself out of Kattegat in the back of a merchant’s cart. Ivar’s Far, Far Away A dejected Ivar makes his way along the Silk Road. He and his bodyguard Vigrid are captured by the Kievan Rus and taken before Prince Oleg the Prophet....
Nothing gets past Game of Thrones fans. From the first teaser for House of the Dragon, the briefest glimpse of a distinctive hilt on the hip of King Viserys I sparked discussion. Could that be the ‘Catspaw Dagger’ used by Arya Stark to kill the Night King and end the Great War? The same weapon used in the season one attempt on Bran Stark’s life that indirectly sparked the War of the Five Kings?...
Walker Episode 7 For too long, the narrative focus on Walker has been on Cordell, Emily, and their family. Which makes sense because Cordell is the lead. But Micki is also a major character who deserves just as much of the attention. She is Cordell’s partner and back up when things go south, and that dynamic is only made richer the more we learn about Micki’s backstory. In “Tracks,” we get some of that narrative balance, spending some more time with Micki and her family....
It’s very weird and more than a little thrilling to see some of the fan theories that we’ve previously collected actually play out on WandaVision, but of course there are still four episodes of Marvel’s rollercoaster spinoff series left to go, and this week we’re bringing you all the most compelling theories gaining traction online to help pass the time until the sixth episode drops. At this point, many of the theories surrounding WandaVision’s bigger story are less outlandish....
WandaVision, which operates under the creative purview of Captain Marvel writer Jac Schaeffer, now takes point for Phase Four in January, representing a canonical tie-in that’s more solid than contemporary MCU-adjacent small-screen predecessors like ABC’s Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, along with unceremoniously abandoned Netflix “Street Level” shows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders. With that set, here’s everything else we know so far about WandaVision....
Marvel’s What If…? episode 1 is here, and it’s a fascinating glimpse at a version of the MCU we never expected to see. “What If…Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?” is an action-packed riff on the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, showcasing a world where Peggy Carter, not Steve Rogers, was the recipient of the super soldier serum, and took on Nazi forces and the hordes of Hydra....
Despite never appearing in the flesh in any of the movies, former Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters in Star Wars. A hero in every sense of the word, Ahsoka’s journey spans almost the entire film saga, just in animated form. First introduced as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice in The Clone Wars animated series, Ahsoka quickly became one of the main protagonists of the series, as we watched her grow as both a Jedi and a commander who led clone forces for the Republic....
But how do you top the man who killed half of all sentient beings in the universe with the snap of a finger? If Kang’s comics history is any indication, you do it with a guy whose ego crosses millennia and multiverses. Kang’s primary ability is there’s…an awful lot of him. And his omega level arrogance. Also he breaks grammar. Or will have breaking grammar. I don’t know, time travel, man....
How can you do a Black Panther movie without Chadwick Boseman? The shocking news of Boseman’s death in 2020 raised many questions about the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Realizing that there’s no replacing Boseman himself, Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler decided against recasting T’Challa and allowing a different character to become the Black Panther. Of the many characters in the MCU, the Black Panther may be best suited to legacy....
On paper, it seems like films or TV shows based on certain video games should be guaranteed successes. If the developers have already gone through the trouble of building a massive, complex world like Azeroth of Warcraft, all the writers have to do is give one of the playable characters a hero’s journey, and it’s off to the races. But for some reason, almost everyone who has tried it, from Hitman to Resident Evil, has come up short, churning out schlock that’s derivative, overblown, or filled with inane dialogue....
It also means that we have a chance to revisit Final Fantasy 12‘s story. It’s a plot that’s been called a disappointment by fans as well as its own creators who felt that the title’s production problems ultimately hindered their efforts. Final Fantasy 12 received a warm welcome in 2006, but there’s long been this asterisk next to the game reserved for the debate over its story. Years later, though, it’s easy to appreciate the many reasons why Final Fantasy 12‘s story is not just underrated but is arguably the greatest overall story in Final Fantasy history....
Introduced in the series’ pilot episode as Jan Levinson-Gould, she is Vice President of Sales at Dunder Mifflin and Michael’s superior. Because the two have closely-related jobs, after she gets divorced, they eventually start a relationship, which becomes a source of much comedy throughout the series, largely because of their contrasting personalities. But there’s more to Jan than the surface-based funny bits she contributes. Sure, Jan can be seen as a hilarious character to watch, but she isn’t funny in that she’s an oblivious jokester like Michael—she’s funny because she’s a standout from him and everyone else in the office....
Loki has used the concept of Variants – different versions of familiar characters whose lives have diverged from their predetermined timeline in some way – to explore a variety of stories over the course of its run. Classic Loki (Richard E. Grant) shows us the regret that awaits a trickster who spends his life in hiding, while Boastful Loki (DeObia Oparei) reminds us that a Loki’s default setting is apparently to betray anyone they even remotely care about....
Of course, the Coming to America movie was a resounding success, a widely-accessible romantic comedy that permeated pop culture in a manner evocative of the A-list heyday of star Eddie Murphy. The 1988 film, put in the stable hands of director John Landis, wrought $288 million worldwide box office success, which made the notion of a sequel seem inevitable, despite how long it would take. However, the property first became fodder for Murphy’s burgeoning TV production company, which—bearing the name of the star who skyrocketed on TV off his SNL run—had designs to conquer the small screen via producer’s proxy for a similarly-titled spinoff television series....
