Did you know GamoWriMo was a thing? Well, now you do. And in all honesty, it should be a much bigger thing. That’s one of the reasons why the tabletop gaming content creators over at Nerdarchy recently posted about GamoWriMo — the NaNoWriMo Spinoff for TTRPG Nerds on their blog. Post author Steven Partridge explains how it follows the same format as the popular NaNoWriMo, and provides advice for TTRPG writers to help get those wonderful adventures in your head down and out in a published form....

After receiving the soft reboot treatment earlier this year with a new movie, The Grudge franchise is looking to expand further. That means bringing a new series to Netflix, the streaming service drawing in huge audiences during this pandemic.

Netflix has revealed a trailer for a new documentary titled Making The Witcher, which will give viewers a glimpse behind the monsters, the ballads, and the magic that brought the story to life on screen.

As the trailer shows, adapting Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of fantasy novels was no easy task....

No Man’s Sky launches in a matter of hours but, despite the hype, Hello Games founder Sean Murray says that the upcoming game will not be for everyone.

It appears that Ubisoft’s decision to keep The Division 2 off Steam is paying off. It was quite the surprise when it was announced that the game would be released on the Epic Games Store and not on Steam back in January, with future PC titles to possibly take a similar route. But, so far, things are working out quite well. Ubisoft promised that Epic would “deliver a smooth journey” from the pre-ordering stage to the actual release, claiming that they were getting behind the latter’s effort to shake up the industry....

This year, the Persona series celebrates its 25th anniversary and Atlus has teased “big news” coming this year as a result. Many fans are anticipating a Persona 6 announcement, especially now that Persona 5 has finished with its expanded re-release and its direct sequel. The Persona 5 sub-franchise is already quite expansive, so it’s about time that Atlus moves on to a new cast and story. There’s no official news about a new title yet, though rumors have been brewing for some time....

Maxing your World Tier in Outriders offers loads of benefits — mostly the increased chance of legendary loot drops during quests, but also the gear that you’re given for completing a World Tier. There’s one problem: playing on any World Tier above level 10 becomes quite a grind. The game doesn’t necessarily get any harder in terms of technical buffs and debuffs to enemies and your character, but you do need to think more about what class you’re running, the way you build your playstyle, and how to sustain your health through very long fights....

Take some ingredients from the Terminator movies, add seasoning from action war pictures like Black Hawk Down or 13 Hours, throw in a pinch of cinematic nuclear terrorism a la True Lies (minus the Middle Eastern stereotypes), and mix it all in that strange blender known as the Netflix algorithm machine. That’s likely how you come up with a movie like Outside the Wire, a military sci-fi action thriller which premieres this week on the streamer....

The next season of the Overwatch League will be starting in April 2021 with twenty different teams from around the world competing to see who will come out on top. These changes were made in response to the performance and fan reception of last year’s Overwatch League tournament....

The Temple of Shrooms in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert, like a few other locations in Paper Mario: The Origami King, has a strict set of requirements before you can enter. Also like other areas, the way to opening this tower will have you traveling far and wide collecting objects needed to open the way in. For this specific case, you’ll need to find the four Desert Tower Eyes, also called jewels, and place them in the correct place....

Path of Exile 2 probably won’t be ready until 2022, according to new comments from Chris Wilson, head of Grinding Gear Games. In a recent interview, Wilson mentions the impact the pandemic has had on development and the difficulty it’s caused when trying to acquire new talent. Path of Exile 2 is the hybrid sequel-expansion to the popular ARPG from 2013. Despite its age, Path of Exile continues to thrive, with one of the largest communities on Steam....

Earlier this week, the Pentagon released three videos documenting the Navy’s encounter with Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFO’s. Until now, these videos were classified due to fear that they might show “sensitive capabilities or systems,” but now the videos are free and available to watch by the public. These encounters occurred in 2004 and 2015, but were leaked to the public originally in 2007 and 2017. The Department of Defense claims to have released the videos in order to clear up confusion about the situation, painting a clearer picture for those that were uncertain of what was going on at the time....

Fall Guys’ creators thought one of its trophies/achievements was so hard to get that no one would ever unlock it. How wrong they were.

Instead of shooting and attempting to kill your rivals, players simply need to outlast them through varying rounds of a game show....

Just before the Mortal Kombat 11 release date, a purported leak looked to reveal nine MK11 DLC characters. One of the fighters in this Mortal Kombat 11 DLC leak was listed as Ash - believed to be The Evil Dead’s Ash Williams.

From Friday the 13th to Resident Evil 7, these five games have the most potential to deliver the scares out of all the horror titles releasing in 2017. 2016 was set to be a banner year for the horror genre. Sadly, many of the most anticipated horror games of 2016 were delayed to next year, and others were cancelled before they could even finish development. However, 2016’s loss is 2017’s gain, and unless there are more delays, horror fans have plenty to be excited about next year....
