Bleeeeeaaaagggghhhhh. | Screenshot: Wes Davis / The Verge Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of Golden Axe, an animated show based on the fantasy beat ’em up sidescroller games. Deadline writes that it will be both “hilarious and loving” in its adaptation of the game. If I remember my ***** Genesis days well, I think that means there’ll be fighting over who gets to ride the purple bird dinosaur and that, at some point, a gigantic hairy skull will float down and hotbox everyone. Who’s big idea was this, you ask? You can blame producers Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (********* Dad!), who will also write the first episode together, with Chandler serving as the showrunner afterward. A timeline for the show’s release hasn’t been announced yet. According to Deadline, Gilius... Continue reading… View the full article

While Baldur's Gate 3 may have come to an end, that doesn't mean its cast of characters can't go on any further adventures. Following the announcement that Larian Studios won't be developing any DLC for its critically-revered RPG, the community was understandably disappointed that they wouldn't be able to spend any more time with the likes of Astarion and Shadowheart. Fortunately, due to the game being an official part of the Dungeons & Dragons universe, there will seemingly be more opportunities for the characters to return either in a sequel or a different medium entirely.

League of Legends is notorious for being a game with unforgiving players—and at the highest ranks of the game, the expectation level placed upon teammates can be exceptional. One player realized just how slim the margin of error is in high-rank League when they were lambasted by teammates consistently after reaching Diamond rank, and they lamented their experience in a recent thread on the official League subreddit.

Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe has said he’s “proud” to see other studios making games inspired by Palworld.

Destiny 2’s Into the Light update has been largely received well by its player base, aside from one massive flaw that’s so bad that some are wondering whether or not it was an oversight.

Although ******* passives don’t have as much weight in modern World of Warcraft as they do in the Classic version of the game, there is one race that has a head-and-shoulders advantage above all others thanks to a passive spell that only they have access to. Diplomacy, the Human-exclusive ******* that causes them to gain 10 percent extra reputation from all sources, is easily one of the best passive effects in all of WoW. In The War Within, however, Diplomacy is being completely reworked, and Humans will lose the 10 percent reputation buff that they’ve gotten used to playing with. View the full article

Sometimes we get lucky and are given a video game adaptation like The Last of Us or Fallout. Alas, more often than not, we get absolute visual slurry from a team that has either never played the game or never made a film. So, here is a selection of what I consider to be some of the worst video game adaptations of all time. These are in no particular order, and the list is not exhaustive, I could go on all week.****** Birds (2016)If you ever thought that a film about birds being thrown into pigs would have even a modicum of plot, substance, or interest, you’re going to be deservedly disappointed. This blatant marketing cash grab was not even the end of the desperate, hand-over-fist IP squeeze by Sony Animation. Even after receiving a pathetic 40% on rotten tomatoes, the studio insisted on making another film and even a TV series. The plot is hollow, and the film is just lazy. Despite the fine lineup of actors, including Bill Hader and Danny McBride, it still ********...View the full article

Ahead of Final Fantasy XIV‘s Dawntrail expansion, the Square-Enix team shared a benchmark download for players to see if their hardware could withstand the upcoming graphics update sent to launch alongside the 7.0 update. At the same time, data miners discovered and shared Dawntrail‘s Artifact Armor sets. The Artifact Armor sets in Final Fantasy XIV are the final armor pieces players get for making it through an expansion story. They’re certainly not the final endgame armor, as this only signals the start of a hefty, months-long grind for some of the best gear in the game, but it’s some of the more beautiful armor sets players can find, and there’s a full thread showing them off. The upcoming thread could be a deciding factor for Final Fantasy XIV players who are on the fence about what class they should be in when they complete Dawntrail. View the full article

Rejoice, WoW esports fans: The most integral part of the game’s Race to World First is making a comeback in The War Within. “Heroic Week,” the one-week ******* that allowed world-first raiders to farm gear on Heroic difficulty and get acclimated with a new raid before it opened up on Mythic difficulty, is making a comeback in the next expansion. Heroic Week was done away with at the back end of Shadowlands in favor of a simultaneous raid release across all of WoW’s difficulties, but after an outpouring of support for the one-week grace ******* from many top teams, it will make a return in The War Within.

This included figures, TCG accessories, and more that feature artwork with Pokémon in the style of famous Van Gogh works. View the full article
