No matter where you turn, a popular YouTube creator or celebrity is being hung out to dry for doing something. If a popular YouTube creator uses racist, homophobic or sexist language, they should be called out. Elijah Daniel, a very popular YouTube creator known for his music, comedy and queer content, spoke about this in a recent vid

Is it a surprise that Iron Fist was greenlit for a season two? In the comics, he’s able to drain the power of the Iron Fist from whomever carries the mantle. Danny gets the costume … sort ofA lot of people complained that in season one of Iron Fist, Danny didn’t seem to favor his comic-book counterpart much at all. The show is light on its feetAfter watching the first six episodes, I’ll admit, Iron Fist season two left me hungry for more. But I do know that this second season of Iron Fist is o

The Destiny franchise has never truly added a new enemy race before. But after a few hours with the game at Bungie’s headquarters, the Scorn don’t feel as different to fight as I would have hoped. There are Ravagers, Skreeb, Chieftains and more. But from what I’ve played, it feels like fighting a greatest hits of Destiny enemies that look slightly different from the Fallen. But instead, I find myself looking to the future still when it comes to Destiny enemies; hoping that we’ll eventually get o

Destiny 2: Forsaken’s raid is coming out 10 days after the expansion’s release, a new schedule for Bungie. But this alteration on expectations doesn’t mean you can slack off if you want to be ready to raid on day one. Shortly after getting into the Tangled Shore, you’ll get a quest to unlock a new subclass tree. This subclass looks very powerful for team activities, and it doesn’t get more team-oriented than raiding. This subclass looks very powerful for team activities, and it doesn’t get more

BoJack Horseman has searched for redemption since he was first introduced to viewers, but he’s never really found it. That’s what makes the Netflix series BoJack Horseman such a difficult, but powerful, show to watch. It’s also a theme that the show’s fifth season hones in on heavily. But BoJack Horseman’s fifth season will either establish him as one off television’s greatest, most vulnerable and intimately relatable heroes, or reiterate the show’s current through-line: We can’t ever really cha

While I was restricted to playing with a controller on PlayStation 4, the bow still felt like a Bungie weapon. The bow fits nicely around a sniper rifle as well, filling a pretty weird gap in Destiny’s primary weapon types. The bow and sniper can cover similar ranges, but the sniper is more specialized, while the bow is more broad. As a studio known for its gun mechanics, it’s no surprise that Bungie made a gunlike bow feel great. My takeaway with Destiny bows after only a few hours of using the

Battlefield 5’s take on the battle royale genre is called Firestorm and will throw 64 players into the series’ biggest map in a contest to be the last squad standing, developer DICE said in a new video. Firestorm will use a squad-based structure, meaning 16 teams of four players will battle it out together instead of players going solo.

World of Warcraft’s new Mythic+ dungeons are finally here, but some players are getting high-powered gear from them way too early. At the end of each week, players would receive an extra high-level item for the hardest dungeon they managed to complete.

Instead, Blizzard accidentally

Then, with the Drizzt books now — there’s this great awakening of our time, and it’s a good thing. Drizzt went through some of the same stuff in the early Drizzt books. When I’m writing a book and my characters are acting out of character, I first say, “I’ve gotta fix that. This idea of writing books to influence or drive people over to your side, it’s not how you do it. I didn’t even realize when I was writing Drizzt family that I was kinda writing mine, only giving them different personalities

The League of Legends community is lashing out against a PAX West panel held by Riot Games that included a period meant exclusively for women and non-binary participants. Riot had a multi-day presence at PAX West, including a two-day viewing party for the NA LCS semi-final matches.
