Soon after, all VODs of the third day of the Grandmasters tournaments had been deleted from the channel, and Blizzard responded with an official statement....

The average MCU movie clocks in at just over two hours, which comes as no surprise given the amount of world-building, exposition, and action that is like to take place. Marvel films are constantly up against the task of straddling the line between audience-friendly run-time and service to characters and worlds with a literal encyclopedic amount of information at their foundations. It should come as no shocker that a lot gets left on the cutting-room floor when a Marvel movie enters its editing phase on the way to its final cut....

Ever since Alola introduced the idea of regional variants, the community has been intrigued by the possibilities for other Pokémon. Pokémon Sword & Shield raised the bar on how variants can be created and adapted, so why not think about other alternatives?...

The Outer Worlds is the newest game made by Obsidian, the previous creators of Fallout: New Vegas. And, if you loved that game, you’ll love this one much in the same way. They both play pretty similarly, though Outer Worlds is an improvement and definitely manages to have a darker tone, which is surprising considering New Vegas takes place in a post-nuclear apocalypse world. In any case, Outer Worlds is rife with unique weapons, abilities, and gear....

If you’re a fan of tabletop games, then you know one of the biggest headaches with this hobby is finding like-minded people to play with. Sometimes people are dead set on only playing one particular game and others have no interest in playing tabletops at all.

As of September of this year, one of the greatest video game series known to man will turn twenty years old. That’s right, the original Fallout was released in 1997 (feel old yet?) and while the sequel came out just a year later, there was a ten year gap in there during which there was no outlet for our wasteland withdrawal. Yes, there were two spin-offs, the Brotherhood of Steel games in 2001 and 2004, but the third official installment of the series took ten years....

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered in Washington D.C. on April 2, 1968 and opened in New York and Los Angeles a day later. Four years in the making, Kubrick’s epic spanned all of time and space and spun an awe-inspiring tale of humankind’s evolution from primitive hominid to spacefaring superbeing — and how we were helped along the way by an unseen alien presence beyond our comprehension. While cinematic science fiction had produced landmark movies in previous years, such as Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and the Quatermass trilogy, 2001 elevated the genre in terms of its depiction of the future, its stunning visual effects, and its sheer scope....

The lore surrounding FromSoft’s 2015 action RPG masterpiece Bloodborne is, much like the proceeding Demon Souls and Dark Souls series, almost impenetrable. While there are literally hundreds of YouTube videos, articles, and forum posts dedicated to piecing together the game’s plot, there’s so much detail in the haunted land of Yharnam that committing the whole thing to memory seems nearly impossible. What’s more, the game never outright informs the player of what’s going on, and most new hunters work entirely on the assumption that they’ve got beasts to slay and abominations to unmake....

Singleplayer games strive to tell a story. In recent years, we have seen impactful stories that move the player through an emotional journey. Even though single player games are solitary experiences, they provide wonderful moments and feelings that multiplayer games may never match. That said, there may be a handful of games that would benefit from a cooperative experience.
