Hulu’s original comedy series Only Murders in the Building has a lot going for it, namely the outstanding acting of its star trio. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez have found all the right notes to hit on comedically and dramatically to create a program that makes you feel warm inside while laughing your butt off. Let’s not forget what the main topic of the show is though: we’re trying to catch a murderer for God’s sake!...
Last week brought news of the Academy Award nominations, and all the controversy that comes with them, yet even though the Oscars are not until Feb. 9, the race is evolving every day. Indeed, this past weekend saw two major developments that create at least the perception of competing frontrunners for Best Picture, and maybe Best Director. 1917 won the Producers Guild of America equivalent of Best Picture on Saturday, and Parasite won the same from the Screen Actors Guild....
Shortly after being acquired by the then-named Microsoft Studios, Obsidian Entertainment revealed their new game, The Outer Worlds, during The 2018 Game Awards this past December. Their new title resembles much of what the studio has done in the past, with their upcoming space exploration game showing many parallels to another of their most beloved releases, Fallout: New Vegas. Even though the space adventure will see players make allegiances with specific groups of people, there’s a possibility of never having to take an aggressive approach towards enemies at all....

With game designers Jeff Kaplan and Geoff Goodman answering a broad range of fan questions, a new video gives us an insight into the fascinating world of Overwatch. As it turns out, ‘Survivor’ by Destiny’s Child is Torbjorn’s song of choice, a tune that is presumably playing non-stop in the Swedish engineer’s headphones....

Our quick take Panasonic Lumix LX100 - 4.5 / 5 Defiant design Top-tier performance A viewfinder to love Multi-aspect ratio Image quality To recap Overall the Panasonic Lumix LX100 lays the foundations of a great product. A few physical nips and tucks here and there, plus a couple of layout and features tweaks would see it be the perfect compact companion. But even as it stands, if the physical size doesn’t perturb you then it’s definitely well worth a look....
Monster Truck Championship is the latest from developer Teyon, which has previously put out games like Urban Trial Playground, Terminator: Resistance, and Rambo: The Video Game. As the title suggests, the core gameplay loop revolves around racing monster trucks and performing in events to win championships, while even allowing players to micromanage sponsors and employees. With how far and few between monster truck games are, especially those of a technical variety, Monster Truck Championship has an interesting premise....
This article contains Eternals spoilers As Marvel Studios moves into their darker and more supernaturally-inclined Phase 4, Moon Knight has become the first character to test the water of fan reception. His Disney+ show, which wrapped its six-episode run earlier this month, divided audiences, many of whom were surprised to find that the series didn’t really connect to the wider MCU. But since the finale dropped, the creators of the show have been talking about various ways they did try to insert various MCU characters, and in a new interview with Comicbook head writer Jeremy Slater has confirmed that Kit Harington’s Eternals character Dane Whitman was in the mix at one point....

Now, so long as you’re on the correct stage, you can impale your opponent on a bed of spikes or melt all their flesh off in a pool of acid. It’s the little things that make Mortal Kombat 11 so great. Mortal Kombat fans will recognize Stage Fatalities from the very first Mortal Kombat games where opponents could be brutally murdered by using aspects of the map’s topography....
With Mortal Kombat 11, the latest entry in NetherRealm Studios’ grisly and gruesome fighting game series, only a couple of months away from release, it’s not surprising that we’re seeing a new character announcement practically every other week or so. Last time it was fan-favorite Jade, who was noticeably absent in the previous game and now back as an undead Revenant, and today it’s been confirmed that another classic character will be returning, though this one isn’t all that surprising....
2016 saw some of the biggest video game releases in modern memory, but they weren’t all successes - here’s our list of some that fell short of expectation. It can be hard to view 2016 as anything except a success for the video game industry when massive releases like Uncharted 4 and Final Fantasy 15 delivered on the hype. In a year that had an extensive list of most anticipated games, many of them exceeded expectation, and fans of nearly every genre had at least one title that was considered a must-have....
The Infinity Gems have been destroyed, marking the end of an era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s also the most high-profile adaptation of the general Infinity Gems story yet, which has been one of the go-to plotlines for Marvel-based media for almost 30 years. Since their introduction as a set in 1990’s Thanos Quest miniseries, which led into the famous 1991 crossover Infinity Gauntlet, the Gems have been a faithful go-to plot for Marvel’s cartoons and video games....
Electronic Arts and BioWare have announced that one of the handful of big names voicing a Mass Effect: Andromeda character will be British actress Natalie Dormer. Though not everyone may recognize the name, they most likely will remember her lopsided grin from shows like Elementary and Game of Thrones, where she played Margaery Tyrell. In Mass Effect: Andromeda, she will be adding to her range as Dr. Lexi T’Perro, the Asari medical officer of the Tempest, the ship that carries the protagonist as they explore the new star systems in the game....

Destiny’s latest raid has been cleared and a new World First team crowned, with the hype of the raid’s launch causing Destiny to soar to the top of Twitch’s directory. Destiny’s raids are quite possibly the crown of Bungie’s sci-fi shooter. The 6-man cooperative activity involves some of the toughest PvE challenges in the game, requiring communication, coordination, and puzzle solving to complete. Raid are also Destiny’s most well kept secret, with Bungie sharing as little as possible about the endgame activity ahead of any launch....
EA appears to have added code to FIFA 21 that will block players in certain countries from using Ultimate Team. Whether you like it or not, lootboxes and microtransactions are commonplace in gaming today. EA has been using them for years, and perhaps its most famous example is FIFA’s Ultimate Team. Players are tasked with building the best squad they can and use that group of players to compete against other players and teams around the world....
The second batch of multiplayer DLC content for Luigi’s Mansion 3 has been released several months earlier than expected by Nintendo and it’s available to download now for people who purchased the Multiplayer Pack. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is thought of as a single-player experience by many, but it has several amazing multiplayer minigames.

The Last of Us Part 2 was released nearly six months ago, but the various end-of-the-year awards shows are putting the controversial title back in the spotlight. Part of the controversy surrounds the presentation of the story and its impact on you as the player.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe at large has pulled some incredible cameos over the years, like Jeff Goldblum’s memorable appearance in Thor: Ragnarok and Sylvester Stallone in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. The new Disney Plus show, WandaVision, has recently featured its share of unexpected actor cameos as well, not to mention a plethora of era-specific technology “cameos” as the show revisits sitcom worlds from different decades. In previous episodes of the unique MCU series, fans have seen radios and television sets that would have been right at home in an episode of the 1960s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show or the early 2000’s Malcom in the Middle, depending on which episode of WandaVision they were watching....
