Minecraft is dead. Long live Minecraft. Wait, don’t panic! Notch announced this week that not only is the huge Adventure Update continuing to increase its scope as it grows into a final product Mojang can be proud of, but also casually mentioned that there will not be any more updates to the Minecraft Beta we have all become so fond of over this past year. That’s right, the Beta is finally coming to an end as Mojang makes way for the “final” product....
After three globe-spanning Uncharted adventures with Naughty Dog’s bold, daring, rakish fortune-hunter Nathan Drake, we’ve helped him escape from countless death-defying situations - from climbing sheer surfaces over lethal drops to outnumbered shootouts with bullet sponge goons and a collection of brutal boss fights. Nate’s charm makes him irrepressibly likeable and his luck makes him nigh-immortal, so when the E3 2014 trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End revealed on older, wearier Drake ready to set out on an adventure for “one last time,” it was hard to ignore the foreboding implications of both the subtitle and the game’s premise....

This Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi article contains spoilers. When asked about the difference between her work with Game of Thrones and Star Wars, actress Indira Varma had a simple answer: “What’s different about Star Wars, obviously, is the fact that it’s been around for 45 years,” Varma told The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s my life! It’s a lot of people’s lifetimes, whereas Game of Thrones is different.” Varma had a taste of fandom when she portrayed Ellaria Sand in the HBO fantasy series....
Rumors have circulated about a possible remake of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl coming to the Nintendo Switch for a while now and one fan is doing everything they can to make that dream become a reality. A Reddit user by the name of Estdale recently posted a picture they drew of the female Diamond & Pearl protagonist, Dawn, on the Pokemon subreddit. And until the remake comes out, they’re pledging to draw a new picture of her every day....
Rooting for the Dallas Fuel can be a painful experience, to the point that sharing “Fuel vs. Fuel,” a phrase a caster misspoke during the Overwatch League’s first season, has become emblematic of how the biggest obstacle standing in the way of the Fuel’s success is simply itself. This year’s Dallas Fuel team has been led by DPS player Decay, whose hyped debut on the L.A. Gladiators last season was underwhelming....
This Only Murders in the Building review contains spoilers. Only Murders in the Building Season 2 Episode 3 Perspective is one of the most important factors in how we tell stories. Watching The Sopranos or Breaking Bad from the perspective of the side characters instead of Tony Soprano or Walter White would have made each of these shows take on an entirely different meaning. These anti-heroes would have become villains, and antagonists come to be seen in a contrary light....

Controversial Overwatch hero Bastion is being reworked “from the ground up” for Overwatch 2. During a developer PVP live stream for Overwatch 2 Blizzard announced some of the big changes coming to the sequel. One of those changes is centred around Bastion, who will seemingly be very different in Overwatch 2. In the video Blizzard said, “Heroes like Bastion are being reviewed and reworked from the ground up, which will result in major changes to how the hero plays....
Speaking to Kotaku, Overwatch lead designer Geoff Goodman states that Blizzard considers the Sombra ARG to be a success, despite fan criticisms and having never done one before. Prior to Sombra’s reveal at BlizzCon 2016, the mysterious hacker was the main subject of an ongoing Overwatch alternate reality game (ARG) that lasted several months. While fans were initially intrigued by the various clues and hints left behind by Blizzard, the drawn-out nature of the ARG ultimately caused some fan backlash, particularly when all the intense puzzle-solving brought them no closer to Sombra....
The massive, diverse roster of Overwatch heroes presents plenty of cosplay opportunities, with some of the most popular choices being heroes like D.Va, Mercy, and McCree. However, one Overwatch cosplayer decided to bring a different character to life, focusing their skills on making a Junkrat costume. Known for a love of thievery and explosions, Junkrat is one of Overwatch’s more interesting damage heroes. Able to trap opponents, wreak havoc in hallways, and decimate entire teams with his RIP-tire, the character has always been an effective source of DPS in certain situations....

The latest update for Overwatch is available to download now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and it’s headlined by Ashe’s introduction to the game proper....
Ever since its inception, Hi-Rez Studios has had to fend off accusations that Paladins: Champions of the Realm is an Overwatch ripoff, with the developer having staunchly claimed that the title is not a clone of Blizzard Entertainment’s team-based shooter. Now, in an interesting turn of events that will bring further comparisons between the two, players of Hi-Rez’s mobile version of the game recently noticed that a piece of background imagery for a promo of the title is actually a piece of art depicting Overwatch’s Lijiang Tower....

This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s Moon Knight Marvel’s Moon Knight isn’t lacking in story. Arguably, it has too much story for its own good. In the first three episodes alone we were introduced to a mentally unwell ex-mercenary with a murky past estranged from a wife he’s been lying to for years. Inside him is at least one identity (with another on the way) created to fill a role that the main identity is unable to....
When news of the PS4’s first major update in over a year first hit, current devotees to Sony’s latest console eagerly discussed some of the finer points in the patch notes. After all, it’s been a long time since any significant changes to the PS4 have even been put on the table, let alone officially announced. A major update means more than just the typical stability fixes or minor quality-of-life improvements, so while it all seems rather understated, these kinds of software updates are a big deal....
“I didn’t really think there were that many people out there who were interested in Mr. Miyagi,” Kevin Derek says. “But (it turns out) millions and millions of people are.” Derek is a martial artist, producer, and documentarian, whose latest documentary, More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story, seeks to humanize the man behind some of pop culture’s most mythical characters. The timing for such a doc couldn’t have been better, but it turns out that was simply good fortune....
