In part one of our Painting Essentials guide, we took a look at the must-have equipment and steps we should take before putting brush to plastic. Shake Your Paints Well If you pick up a new pot of paint, you have probably noticed that there is often more than one color layered up on top of each other. This is due to pigmentation separation. Good quality paints are manufactured using pigments finely ground into a powder, and this is mixed into a viscous medium or base....

The Nintendo Switch will finally have a unique Monster Hunter game to call its own, as Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Rise is coming to the system in 2021. Monster Hunter Rise appears to be heavily based on the pre-World entries in the series, but it will still bring a number of improvements to the franchise. Nintendo has revealed new details about Monster Hunter Rise in a Mini Direct, and we’ve learned a great deal about the next hunt....

While plenty of gamers are enjoying Monster Hunter World, taking on beasts and crafting stronger armor, some are having trouble with the game’s matchmaking. Specifically, Xbox One players have noted difficulties teaming up with others and, in turn, are missing out on one of Monster Hunter World’s newest features. Suspicions about the matchmaking issues arose earlier this weekend and the game’s official Twitter confirmed things: Xbox Support’s Twitter even took notice of Monster Hunter World’s matchmaking issues:...

Whether it’s a gameplay trailer focusing on the Rotten Vale or a video introducing the new Coral Highlands area, as of late, Capcom has been supplying Monster Hunter World fans with ample looks at what kind of content they can expect from the title. Following this trend, the publisher and developer have now put out a brand new clip that highlights the forthcoming action role-playing game’s showdown with its main monster, Nergigante....

The Final Fantasy XIV x Monster Hunter World crossover is right around the corner, and Capcom recently shared a lengthy preview of the event, starting with gameplay of Behemoth. For those not hip to Final Fantasy fauna, the Behemoth is featured regularly throughout the series, and is always a force to be reckoned with. Its appearance in Monster Hunter: World will be no different, and will provide a significant challenge to hunters with the courage to face it....

Mortal Kombat 11 has a number of different game modes for players to dive into, but one of the more unique modes is the Krypt. The Krypt is a dungeon filled with treasure chests that Mortal Kombat 11 players can open using Koins (obtained just by playing the various game modes) to gain the treasures inside. These chests sometimes even have character gear and alternate skins, making them very valuable for Mortal Kombat 11 completionists....

On the day before the Mortal Kombat 11 release date, NetherRealm Studios indicated that it was already working on changes to the title’s single-player Towers of Time game mode. This statement came in response to a number of Mortal Kombat 11 reviews and outcry from players that had received advanced copies of the game, which took issue with the extreme difficulty spikes found in the Towers. Now, NetherRealm has given further details on its plans....

The manga for My Hero Academia is quite a long way ahead of where the anime is. There are so many action-packed story arcs, new and departing characters, and incredible plot twists that anime-only fans have to wait for. With the start of the fifth season of My Hero Academia being released this March, there are plenty of new quirk-wielders about to be introduced to those who haven’t read the manga....

During Electronic Arts E3 2017 Press Conference today, gamers got a chance to see a handful of upcoming titles, including the action-packed Need for Speed Payback. After a quick (and somewhat awkward) introduction of the game by a YouTube content creator and a member of the EA team, gamers saw a glimpse of Need for Speed Payback gameplay. EA previously described how Need for Speed Payback will throw players into the role of a trio of drivers who work together to take down The House, a nefarious cartel group hell-bent on running the game world’s casinos, cops, and criminals....

After the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake, Capcom developers confirmed that the origins of the Nemesis’ creation have a direct connection to Las Plagas parasites in the lore, just weeks before the release of the Resident Evil 8 trailer. Specifically, this comprises the Nemesis’ parasite, which Umbrella used to transform a Tyrant monster into the Nemesis. While fans do not yet know precisely if or how Resident Evil 8 could connect itself to Resident Evil’s previous story arcs, including the T-Virus and Las Plagas parasites, the trailer makes it pretty clear Resident Evil 8 takes place somewhere in Europe, perhaps the Caucasus, where Umbrella had a facility, eastern Europe, or France, the latter of which Umbrella had another facility....

Much to the dismay of scalpers, Nintendo has announced that the NES Classic Edition will be returning to stores on June 29th. Many have been waiting to hear when the NES Classic would be making its comeback. Back in September, Nintendo said it “will also bring back the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system with new shipments” in the summer of 2018. Now we have official confirmation when those fans who missed out will be able pick up their first copy of the system....

Since E3 in early June the gaming industry took a slight break as developers, publishers, hardware manufacturers, online servers and gamers prepare for what may be the biggest holiday season the industry has ever seen. The summer lull is over and kickstarting the road towards the next-gen consoles is Europe’s biggest gaming event: Gamescom. We already know new exclusive IPs for PS4 and Xbox One will be unveiled during the event, along with more details on practically every high profile game confirmed for release within the next year or two, but Electronic Arts will also be using the venue to reveal something new for DICE’s highly anticipated Battlefield 4....

It appears as if Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a stranger to no one this year, offering comfort and social connectivity during the brunt of the pandemic lockdown. To demonstrate its welcomed ability to bring loved ones together, Nintendo has focused the game’s new trailer on connectivity - and it’s a bit of a tearjerker. The UK trailer features a girl who is about to embark on a home move with her mother and father, leaving her friends behind....

A new era begins for Batman and DC Comics in July. Comic Book has revealed that beloved Marvel writer Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez, one of the best artists working at DC Comics today, are teaming up as the new creative team of the main Batman series. Their run begins with Batman #125, an oversized issue that kicks off the “Failsafe” arc, which Zdarsky described in his newsletter as “Batman’s Doomsday....

Announced shortly before last year’s E3, the remake of Destroy All Humans! has quickly become one of the most exciting releases of this year, boasting the same addicting gameplay which made its source material such a beloved cult-classic alongside some stellar new visuals. Since its announcement, fans have seen a lot more of the title’s gameplay, which seems to faithfully recreate the chaotic third-person shooter’s classic shooting mechanics. However, it seems THQ Nordic wanted to give fans a little more to chew on before Destroy All Humans!...

Doom 3 was a controversial game. It wasn’t the blood, guts, or gore that made it stick out like the Doom franchise’s store thumb–it was the change in overall theme. Doom 3 pivoted hard into a psychological horror genre that was appropriate given the plot and content, but also inappropriate given how Doom basically created the fast run-and-gun shooter genre. When 2016’s Doom reboot arrived and brought the series back its roots better than ever, everyone was ecstatic....

It was an interesting move from 6 of the nation’s biggest movie theater chains: argue in court that if Coronavirus lockdown exempted churches, it ought to exempt cinemas too on the basis of free-speech protections. This filing, which was perhaps one of the strongest cases they could have made in their favor, has now been rejected by a New Jersey judge. Led by the National Association of Theater Owners and joined by big companies like AMC and Regal, a lawsuit was filed against the state for taking property with just compensation and violation of free speech, arguing that it was unfair to force theaters to close their doors while churches were allowed to remain open....

As expected, the Oculus team was out in full force at CES 2014, ready to introduce the world to the latest Oculus Rift prototype. And much like past iterations of the VR headset, this latest update boasts some exciting new additions. Dubbed the Crystal Cove, the newest Oculus Rift prototype has two new and surprising features: a low persistence OLED display and a motion tracking system. Both will push the VR headset over the edge as far as functionality are concerned, and will, more importantly, make the device even more user-friendly....

Square Enix is reportedly working on a new Thief game, if a post from film studio Straight Up Films is to be believed. The studio claims that a fifth game in the series will release alongside a feature film adaptation, which is currently in pre production. According to Straight Up Films, “a fifth sequel is currently in development to be released in step with this motion picture adaptation.” When exactly the Thief feature film is set to release is unclear; the studio only just announced the project last year....
