And now, YouTuber Ryan Higa (known as nigahiga) has decided to reimagine Pokémon based on these horrifying questions, as a straight-up horror movie told by one young Pikachu. The trainer then chases after him, trapping him inside the small, enclosed Poké Ball. Initially, he mistakes this healing as an act of kindness, but he quickly learns that there’s a dark side. Refuse to battle, and you are trapped for the rest of your days in the tight Poké Ball. Make sure to give your Pokémon some extra tr

Almost 10 years after the series’ last entry, Friday the 13th looks like it’s the latest slasher movie to get a new installment. This latest reboot would be the second attempt at reviving the film series after 2009’s Friday the 13th, directed by Marcus Nispel. Following that reboot almost a decade ago, the series fell into a legal battle that has seen the rights to the original script returned to the first film’s screenwriter, Victor Miller. The legal battle was fought largely between Miller and

Azerite gear — the expansions’ main form of post-leveling progression — has been filled with lackluster and uninteresting perks. More importantly, there will now be a new vendor specifically for Azerite gear, which should make acquiring the pieces you need far less random. Currently, trying to get the piece of Azerite gear you need from a Mythic plus dungeon is almost impossible. Instead of earning Azerite gear from your weekly chest, you’ll acquire a new kind of currency whenever you open your

The Wonder Woman sequel — Wonder Woman 1984 — has been pushed from its 2019 release date. The new release date lands Wonder Woman 1984 in the height of summer blockbuster season, something that was deliberate as Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Jeff Goldstein confirmed in a statement, moments after Gadot tweeted. “We had tremendous success releasing the first Wonder Woman film during the summer so when we saw an opportunity to take advantage of the changing competitive landscape,

Sea of Thieves is not a game that initially sells itself on its lore. Forsaken Shores is the most story-heavy expansion yet, and it arrives alongside tie-in novels and comics that flesh out the world of Sea of Thieves. While it’s a relatively minimal and barebones story, it’s the first Sea of Thieves expansion campaign that’s left open-ended. Frankly, I’m excited to see the next steps in the Sea of Thieves story, because even when the game flirts with darker storylines, it’s all so refreshing. S

On Monday, Tze Chun, a writer and producer on Fox’s Gotham series, shared a first look at the show’s version of the Batman villain Bane on his Twitter account. According showrunner John Stephens, this does not go well, and is connected to how Bane will be introduced. In Gotham, Bane appears to wear an elaborate muzzle/respirator and a jacket fitted at the waist and padded at the shoulders. A cursory glance at the replies to Tze Chun shows a lot of fans distressed over the look, although a few di

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t seen and heard his performance-captured role as John Marston in developer Rockstar’s 2010 hit, Red Dead Redemption. For me, I guess it wasn’t.”Finding John Marston: Small Town beginningsLos Angeles was never in Wiethoff’s plan, and acting certainly wasn’t either. ”To go to Los Angeles and experience all the diversity there, it had a huge, huge impact on me. “It definitely built him up to trust people a little more than he should have … he’s too

The first town in the Red Dead franchise, the only town in Red Dead Revolver, taught me how to mosey like a proper cowboy. After the train robbery/rescue in Revolver, Brimstone was a sort of hub world you returned to between missions. But none — not even Gun, which was the first to really try giving you that GTA-on-horseback feel — were as rollicking as Red Dead Revolver. Deadeye was one of the few threads connecting 2010’s Red Dead Redemption to its 2004 forebear. On the other, I think it’s bes

But I struggle to even think of other Western games, much less worry about which the best are. Heck, Deadwood may be the most famous and popular modern example of Western genre fiction, and we didn’t get enough of that (at least, not yet). This scarcity is refreshingSo why does Red Dead Redemption 2 feel so important, rather than just popular? That it’s one of the rare examples of the genre, and in a series that has also done the genre best when it comes to gaming, is a big reason. We’re not onl

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, with its very serious music and dramatic flourishes, tries to give the sense of an experience with gravity. The best way to relieve some of the dissonance is to turn off the gore. War games use violence for differing effects and emotional responses, but Black Ops 4 isn’t about war at all. That sudden sense of whiplash I experienced when a fun, tactical game suddenly turned into a slow-motion shot of graphic violence went away. I found it a bit troubling to do so, but i

One of the founding members of Oculus VR, former CEO Brendan Iribe, announced today that he’s leaving the company after more than six years. In a statement posted to Facebook, Iribe said he’s “moving on,” but did not specify where he’s headed. “We assembled one of the greatest research and engineering teams in history, delivered the first step of true virtual presence with Oculus Rift and Touch, and inspired an entirely new industry. Every part of VR and AR needs to improve, especially the hardw

Today, Blizzard explained what will be available in the World of Warcraft: Classic demo, and how players can expect to interact with the “vanilla” version of the world next month. Only two zones will be available for players in the demo, which is meant to focus on outdoor questing. Finally, Blizzard has added accessibility options for colorblind players into the World of Warcraft: Classic demo, something that wasn’t around in the vanilla World of Warcraft era. Blizzard announced earlier this yea

First, we bring his urn to the Loa of Death, Bwonsamdi; Bwonsamdi and Vol’jin had a deal in life, and Bwonsamdi wants to talk to the guy now that he’s dead. In 8.1, Tides of Vengeance, Horde players start to ask questions like: Wait, what happened to Vol’jin to make him a spirit? And why did he make Sylvanas Warchief again when that seems to have been the worst possible choice? So we’re left with two major mysteries, the first of which is: Who convinced Vol’jin to make Sylvanas Warchief? If we’r

Trion Worlds, the game developer and publisher known for MMOs like Rift, Defiance and ArcheAge, laid off many of its employees this week in the wake of a sale of the company. According to unconfirmed reports, Trion Worlds and its games have been purchased by Gamigo, a Hamburg, Germany-based publisher of free-to-play online and mobile games in Europe and North America. An official statement says that Trion Worlds has been sold and its game lineup will continue to operate under new ownership. The

Titled Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History, it’s an illustrated guide to the original role-playing game that charts the story of its birth in Geneva, Wisconsin all the way to its modern renaissance. What makes Art & Arcana so special are the creative minds who came together to write it. Assembled together on a single page, these so-called “monochr

Daredevil season three, which dropped in its entirety on Friday, is arguably the best season of the Marvel-Netflix series so far. note: This post contains major spoilers for Daredevil season three.] The question of Daredevil season 4Besides the Bullseye tease, Daredevil’s season three wraps up with a nice little bow. The show teases Bullseye’s technological enhancements, but leaves us with a bigger, burning question: Will there even be a Daredevil season four? Not only does it end with hope on t

The catch is that Forsaken Shores feels more lateral; it has pros and cons you have to weigh, as opposed to being the immediate choice, even for long-time players. At first, the extra loot suggests you need to go to the Devil’s Roar, but you never spawn there. Seaports and trading hubs, the new small-scale stores that offer discounted items, were originally meant to be part of the base game. The base game of Sea of Thieves had far less content, but it was elegant; it was less obvious where the n
