If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly exotic item merchant. This scales to your character’s power level, so make sure you’re buying Xur exotics on your highest level character. Its exotic perk, Upgraded Sensor Pack, will constantly provide you with a radar, even while aiming down sites. It’s main exotic perk is Bring the Heat, which causes the Fusion Grenades used by solar Titans to explode immediately on impact and travel faster in mid-air. Its exotic perk, Planetary T

That means the show’s third season, which is airing now, may be its last — and that’s a damn shame. I agree with our friends at The Verge that The Expanse is the best space opera since Battlestar Galactica. The Expanse is based on a series of novels by James S.A. Corey, a pseudonym for authors Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham. Shows like The Magicians, 12 Monkeys and Krypton will go on, but The Expanse was something special. Like the original Star Trek, The Expanse gives us a version of humanity’s f

Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin published the first issue of Barrier on the small digital comics retailer Panel Syndicate in 2016. All five issues of the series have been available there on a pay-what-you-want basis for some time now. Libby and Oscar embody the linguistic twist that goes along with the comic’s visual change in orientation. The first two issues of Barrier are on shelves this week, with the next three due out before the end of May. If physical copies aren’t your thing, each iss

There are nearly as many movies filed under Netflix’s “sci-fi & fantasy” tag. Tucked under the gas giants of the platform — we don’t need to tell you to watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Armageddon or Guardians of the Galaxy — these are the Netflix sci-fi movies you should actually watch (and soon — they could pull a Krypton and disappear from the platform at any moment). Beyond Skyline (2017)2010’s Skyline was nothing to phone home about, an alien-invasion epic with the heart of a DIY special

Back in 2014, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze launched on the Wii U. I’m pretty sure it did, at least. But Nintendo has been slowly re-releasing all of the Wii U games on Switch, and Tropical Freeze is the most recent to get that treatment. For example: There’s a unique idle animation for each potential Donkey Kong pairing. While playing, I kept a close eye out for these touches and was astounded by how many there were. But Nintendo always seems to add that special spark to bring a game to

Solo: A Star Wars Story isn’t even out yet, but we’re already talking about another exciting iteration of the Star Wars universe. New details about Jon Favreau’s upcoming, live-action Star Wars series have emerged, and unlike Solo, will rely on an entirely new cast of characters. Favreau told Nerdist at the Solo premiere that the unnamed series takes place seven years after Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi’s Battle of Endor. By our calculations, that means Favreau’s Star Wars series ta

A new clip for Disney Pixar’s Incredibles 2 includes a fresh look at Samuel L. Jackson’s Lucius Best and makes a pretty great joke in the process. It became so iconic that it eventually became a meme — impressive in 2004, the internet’s pre-YouTube and pre-Reddit days. The original “Where is my super suit?” meme originated on a hub known as YTMND, best known as a meme hub of sorts. The remixed meme incorporated different movies, TV shows and music videos that included Jackson’s original dialogue
