Cavill needed to grow a mustache for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which didn’t become an issue until Cavill learned Justice League needed intensive reshoots. Cavill kept the mustache, leading Justice League’s editing team to digitally remove the lip crawler in every reshot scene. New information from Fallout director Chris McQuarrie illustrates just how much of a fiasco Cavill’s mustache became for Paramount Studios. “The suggestion was made through channels that we shave the mustache and Henr

The Wii was my first console, and Natsume’s Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility was my “first” game — or, at least, the first game that I was ever any good at. The premise of Tree of Tranquility isn’t particularly notable, especially compared to similarly farming-focused Harvest Moon (now known as Story of Seasons) games. I’ve played it at least 10 times now, and once-difficult challenges like gathering rare items are now little more than rote tasks. Despite the lack of novelty, I played Tree of T

Director James Gunn learned this the hard way when right-wing Twitter personalities resurfaced some questionable, old tweets, and he was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. There are a lot of reasons, some good and some bad, for otherwise decent people to have controversial statements in their social media history. Any growth that has happened since doesn’t really matter, nor do the apologies and discussions I’ve had about my social media past mean anything. Not to keep them secret, but to p

“You’re not the only one cursed with knowledge,” Thanos tells Iron Man before their climactic brawl. Iron Man’s missionTony Start didn’t know Thanos by name, but since the beginning of the series, Iron Man has been aware that something, somewhere, would threaten Earth. “You have my respect, Stark,” Thanos tells him, with a voice that sounds regretful. When Thanos tells Stark that he “hopes they remember you,” he’s talking about himself as much as he’s talking about Iron Man. If Iron Man is remem

There is no reasonable way I can download all of the games I’m entitled to from Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus and EA Access. In Xbox Live, there are more than 200 for two consoles dating back to 2013. Since 2015 I’ve tried to document the value, in both money and critical acclaim, of the games Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus have offered each year. But when it showed up on Xbox Live Games with Gold in January, heck yes I claimed it. Ownership requires managementThere’s an ongoing management obligat

Last week, we published an article that sought to explain the proliferation of toxicity in gaming spaces, most especially from angry men. This overtone is present throughout the article, that all men are like the current point being discussed. – Ryan DAccompanying ImagesI just wanted to say that the ‘Gaming’s toxic men, explained’ was absolutely fantastic on every level. Would there be “toxic men” in the responses – yes! – Dan P.Tech SpacesIn regards to your article on gaming’s toxic men, I love

For week 4 of Fortnite’s Season 5, we have the usual collection of kill and collect missions, along with another find-and-seek challenge. This time you’re tasked to “Search between a Gas Station, Soccer Pitch and Stunt Mountain.” It’s actually one of the easier challenges to complete, so long as you know where to look. Step one, land here:You’re aiming for a spot just south of Pleasant Park, and just northwest of a gas station. As you glide down to the spot marked above, you’ll want to look out

But no one has the same name recognition as Mary Jane Watson. The team at Insomniac Games hasn’t even hidden that Mary Jane is a playable character. And it turns out that Insomniac has overhauled Mary Jane from a beautiful, if sometimes brash, romantic object into someone with wits and agency. Before Spidey gets to stopping the bad guys and saving the museum curator they’ve taken hostage, he runs into Mary Jane — ace Daily Bugle reporter Mary Jane Watson, to be precise. Those small stakes give u

Two of the three games in the forthcoming Spyro Reignited Trilogy must be downloaded and are not on the retail disc, according to the game’s official site. Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage and Spyro: Year of the Dragon must be downloaded. A comment given to PlayStation Lifestyle yesterday didn’t answer the question of why this was necessary. The language on packaging and on the web is to let players know the requirements for Spyro Reignited Trilogy,” the statement said. Spyro Reignited Trilogy was announce

Life Is Strange 2 looks nothing like its predecessors, based on the game’s first teaser trailer. The recording is dated Oct. 28, 2016, and it’s from someone named Officer Matthews. “Officer Matthews. Life Is Strange 2’s first episode (of five) comes to PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One on Sept. 27. Correction: Life Is Strange 2 takes place in the recent past of 2016, not the near-future of 2018.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is doing something Blizzard’s MMO has never done before. The opposing faction players will eventually establish a foothold on the other continent, but during leveling, Alliance players will rarely run into the Horde. Boralus is easily the best looking and most realized city in World of Warcraft so far, and is a massive perk for Alliance players. None of this is to say that Tiragarde Sound is a bad World of Warcraft zone. World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth

Many players, however, have noticed that the only Spinda variant available from Aug. 1’s research reward is number eight, the one with the lil’ goatee-looking pattern. While some think that this is a coding error on Niantic’s part, others think that releasing only one Spinda variant is part of a more elaborate plan. The lookout for Spinda Number Seven is underway. Spinda Number Eight was released at 1 p.m. PT on Wednesday, so Spinda Number Seven will probably not drop before that time next. Ther

The newest update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on PC, update 19, is live. Also among the changes in this new update is the addition of PUBG’s dynamic weather system to all maps. Update 19 is the kind of patch that quietly makes the game much more fun to play without doing anything drastic. This latest update is available now on the PC version of the game and some of these changes are likely to head to the Xbox version pretty soon. For more information on all the changes made in PUBG’s PC up

At the end, players get a game save in the cloud that they can download for Season Four: The Final Season. The Telltale account is also a way to upload cloud saves and import them into The Final Season, with varying compatibilities. The big limitation is that saves are only importable from either The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection (not individual game saves from Seasons One or Two) or The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. Xbox and PlayStation saves are not cross-compatible, but both co

Does Madden NFL 19 match the best PC ports of this generation, or has EA done the minimum to bring its beloved football series to Windows? All the basic settings are here: resolution, v-sync, locking frame rate at a couple of variables or leaving it unlocked. Otherwise, Madden 19 looks fantastic on PC. The bump in resolution, frame rate and post-processing effects makes for a smoother and more visually striking experience. More than ever, Madden 19 on PC looks at first blush like live television

No Man’s Sky is very nearly a different game from when it launched. We got you (re)started with our rebeginner’s guide and walked you through one of the big changes with our base building guide. Save the freighter by destroying the pretty weak attackers, and the freighter’s captain will invite you on board and offer you the command for free. This is required to send frigates out on expeditions, and it’s where you’ll debrief them when they return (so you can collect your rewards). Recruiting frei

No Man’s Sky has become a much more friendly game, especially with the Next update, but you’ll still find yourself in situations where you need a specific element or item. Below, we’ll walk you through using No Man’s Sky’s Guide and Discoveries menus to help you track down elusive elements. The Guide menu (do your research)Open your menu, then tab over to the Guide. Based on the information in the Guide, we can see that we’re looking for a radioactive environment. To find uranium, we’re looking

The blueprints for the AtlasPass (well, three blueprints for different versions of the AltasPass) will let you literally unlock things. Below, we’ll talk about how to use the three kinds of AtlasPass as well as how to find their blueprints. The AtlasPass v3 will get you into a storage room on every Space Station where you’ll find even rarer elements and better items. PoloOn one of your first visits to the Space Anomaly, Polo will give you the blueprint for the AtlasPass V1. As you progress with

The mod, called Tamriel Rebuilt, seeks to recreate the original design first envisioned by the team at Bethesda Softworks. According to the mod team, “Old Ebonheart is the very heart of Imperial power in Morrowind, a slice of civilized Cyrodiil in the alien east. But even within its fortified walls, danger and intrigue lurks and many an unwary traveller have lost their money and their influence here … or worse.”Grid View Tamriel Rebuilt mod teamTamriel Rebuilt mod teamTamriel Rebuilt mod teamT

Two days ago, LilKirbs14, a speedrunner whose history on speedrun.com only goes back a year, took a swing at Super Mario Odyssey’s Any% record. (Though it should be noted, LilKirbs14 formerly held the world record in New Super Mario Bros. U and is now second place, and was for one day the world champion in Warp World on Super Mario Maker. He appears to have devoted his time to Super Mario Odyssey since its launch in October, however.) Super Mario Odyssey has yet to be a main event run for either
