The moment Ninja moved from Twitch to Mixer, he and his fellow famous streamers started trading jabs about their streaming platforms of choice. As many streamers are friends, they group up and play games together for hours on end, and can often be heard ribbing at each other about whether Twitch or Mixer is better. Recently, Dr. DisRespect posted a video on Twitter poking fun at Mixer, and Ninja’s response was both timely and devastating to both Twitch and Alinity, a streamer who has found herself in a bit of trouble recently....

Bosses are often one of the things that make video game interesting and challenging. What better way to test your skills in the game than to face down a rather difficult enemy? And for most Nintendo games, bosses are pretty straight forward and necessary to progress further in the game. It’s become a joke among gamers that you can always tell when a boss fight is coming up through conveniently finding some helpful items, or coming across a large room, or finding yourself hearing music with a lot of bass....

“My kid wrote a letter to Nintendo and they wrote back,” Slate said on Twitter, showing off a letter where a representative, Liz Daniels, stated that it would be “awesome” to have non-binary Pokémon appear in-game. “In your letter, you asked us to make non-binary Pokémon,” it opened, “I think that is an awesome idea. There are so many varieties of Pokémon, so it would make sense to have a variety of genders as well!...

When No Man’s Sky launched on consoles in August of 2016, it was met with a mixed reception. For a space exploration-survival sim, it was a little barebones. However, over time, it has changed for the better, as each new update has brought a new feature or fix to further improve the game (such as the recent pet-wrangling Companions update). One of the biggest (and by far the most popular) of these changes was the addition of multiplayer....

Nvidia’s real-time ray tracing technology called RTX has to be the most significant advancement for graphic cards in quite some time. Ever since the inception of 3D games, developers have used baked reflections, less accurate lighting, and faked shadows to make a scene gritty. The reason was the incapability of rendering the graphically intensive real-time effects, which are now possible, thanks to Nvidia. For years ray-tracing was mostly used in animated movies as they’re pre-rendered....

The party split is often considered one of the most dreaded story events in a game for those who like to play RPGs with clear favoritism towards their favorite characters. They might find themselves stuck with underleveled side-lackeys suffering through an unskippable story event, under-equipped with little way to make up the difference without reloading an older save and starting over from there. Or maybe it’s just separation anxiety; we’ll never know....

While Microsoft sat comfortably on its throne during the Xbox 360 generation, Sony’s PlayStation 4 swiftly claimed it for the current generation and ran with it all the way through. From stellar games to somewhat superior technology from the get-go, Sony has outdone Microsoft in nearly every regard and still appeals to the hardcore gamer over Nintendo products. However, given recent events regarding Sony and the Xbox Series X’s promise, Sony could easily be dethroned in the next generation....

It looks like Oscar Isaac is handling his Star Wars-to-Marvel transition well. The Rise of Skywalker star was recently featured in a short behind-the-scenes clip that showed his combat training for the upcoming Moon Knight television series, and from the looks of it, he’s not messing around. Isaac is shown practicing his fight choreography on a crew of stuntmen, all while sporting a grungy man bun. The video was captioned “Currently out of the office” and hashtagged with #TheOneYouSeeComing, the latter of which is a quote taken directly from the fifth issue of the Moon Knight comic books....

Despite the name, the Surgeon is more likely to butcher your squad rather than heal them. This first boss of Othercide is a real killer, in fact, and will no doubt be the first major hurdle that many players come up against. If you’ve already been sent back to the start of your game by this imposing monster and its minions, this guide will prepare you with all the knowledge and tips you’ll need to turn the tide on this scissor wielding foe....

It’s finally time for players who have been non-stop grinding to get those ten legendary weapons in the Outriders Demo to actually play the game, as Outriders is finally coming out this week. Initially, the game didn’t attract many eyes, but after players got their hands on the demo earlier this year, that’s when most of the looter-shooter community started getting excited for Outriders. Earlier today, People Can Fly officially announced that the game is now available to pre-load on Steam for PC users....

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a collection that bundles together a remaster of the original game and its sequel, and was a launch title for both of the latest next-gen consoles. Currently, the only way to play it is on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, but that’s about to change. Ghost Town Games announces plans to bring the title to many new platforms. Through a delightfully whimsical trailer, the Onion King issues breaking news to the Onion Kingdom, stating that Overcooked!...

Blizzard announces the first seasonal event for its popular shooter Overwatch, which adds new Olympic themed content and a brand new brawl called Lucioball. While the incredibly popular shooter Overwatch continues to perform extremely well for Blizzard Entertainment, the developer isn’t content to just sit back and revel in the success. Since Overwatch launched in late May, it has already seen an influx of new content with the first season of its competitive mode having arrived in June, and just recently, the first post-launch character, a support sniper called Ana, being added to the roster....

Warning: this Peaky Blinders review contains spoilers. Tommy escaped. He escaped it all – the fascists and the fake diagnosis and his family and himself. He rode out of Peaky Blinders just as he rode into it, only this time (this drama loves symbolism) on a white and not a black horse. Season six had sent him to hell where he’d reckoned with his sins. Then a plot by his enemies presented him with a rare opportunity to ride for the hills and leave it all behind....

Monster Hunter World is all about humungous boss battles that push players to their limits and really test their skills. But what if those battles need to be completed quickly per the terms of a quest? And what if players have already taken down the enemy and don’t want to go through all of that a second time? Thankfully, attacking monsters when they’re sleeping can be an efficient way of taking them down....

Iceborne’s developers say that players who have really explored Monster Hunter: World in-depth should have no problems with the expansion’s higher difficulty. We know a lot about Monster Hunter World’s upcoming expansion, Iceborne, including the fact that you won’t be able to access Iceborne’s content until you finish the main campaign in the base game. This might lead some players who have been lagging behind to zip through the main game’s content in order to catch up with friends and see what’s new in Iceborne....

Even though each Mortal Kombat game is different than the last, there’s one thing that’s been there in every entry in the series: fatalities. Once, Mortal Kombat’s fatalities were used to prove that violent video games breed violent people, but now it seems society has finally mellowed out about these brutal endings. One character whose fatalities have always been on the brutal side of things is Sub Zero. He’s been in every Mortal Kombat game to date(not counting Mortal Kombat Special Forces for the Playstation) and because of that has one of the largest rosters of fatalities of any character in the series....

The icy legacy of Sub-Zero has been tied to Mortal Kombat’s story for years. From the ruthless Bi-Han to the current day Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang, many warriors have taken on the mantle of the cryomancer. Like his one-time rival, Scorpion, Sub-Zero has become an iconic part of Mortal Kombat, and video game history. With Mortal Kombat 11’s gear system, players unlocked a new level of customizable freedom. This has allowed Sub-Zero to have a great variety of skins, each one more unique than the last....

Last week, a rumor started making the rounds that current WWE superstar and former UFC fighter Ronda Rousey would voice Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11. While that still has yet to be confirmed or denied, we do know that Ronda Rousey will in fact be at the game’s reveal event on January 17, along with some other professional wrestlers. It seems Mortal Kombat 11 developer NetherRealm Studios has invited a variety of pro wrestlers to its January 17 community reveal event....

NetherRealm dropped finalist Titaniumtigerzz from an official Mortal Kombat 11 Pro Kompetition on January 16 after they revealed that their Sheeva variation was called “WhyDidNRSdoThis.” Their opponent advanced in the match despite not having actually beaten Titan. “It was meant to be funny since the character I was using is basically extremely easy. The joke was, ‘Why would they make such an easy character?’” Titan revealed to Kotaku. Sheeva, for context, has an unblockable move where she leaps into the air and falls right back down on top of her opponent’s head, crushing them....
