During a lengthy interview at New York Comic Con, we spoke to the Smosh Games team about what YouTube has become and where it’s going. Dave Raub, Smosh Games’ executive producer, touched upon Kjellberg and the backlash that YouTube’s top creator has faced over the past few months. I’ve known Felix for years, we’ve done stuff with him in early stages of Smosh Games. Smosh Games has no qualms with Kjellberg, but they’re not trying to emulate his style, either, Raub said.

Pokémon Go’s big Halloween update could bring some exciting changes to the game, based on findings from big-time dataminers in The Silph Road guild. Also included in the new assets are several Pokémon from the third-generation games: Dusclops, Duskull, Sableye, Shuppet and Bannette. We’ve never seen these guys in-game before, and we still haven’t seen their in-game models. There are also sounds included in Pokémon Go’s new update files for species up to Pokédex entry 386, or Deoxys — a range tha

Capcom offered a better look at Resident Evil 7 biohazard’s upcoming add-ons, End of Zoe and Not A Hero, in a new trailer that reveals a bit about what Chris Redfield and Zoe Baker will be getting up to later this year. Resident Evil 7’s End of Zoe DLC is included as part of the game’s season pass and the game’s Gold Edition re-release, which will bundle all of the horror game’s expansions. As for Not A Hero, the free episode starring Resident Evil veteran Chris Redfield, we get a look at what a

A scholar who studied ancient Egypt during the reign of Cleopatra VII — the setting of Assassin’s Creed Origins — decoded hieroglyphs used in some frames and screenshots promoting the game and, whaddaya know, found that Ubisoft designers really did their homework. There’s a message in the hieroglyphs the game uses, and it’s accurate to the period represented in the game. pic.twitter.com/TbXnFU1Wx0 — Claireleesi (@Clazzaranius) October 14, 2017Lo and behold, it contains the phrase “Everything may

[Warning: The following may contain spoilers for upcoming Batman: White Knight issues.] Harley Quinn made her first appearance in a Batman comic in 1993 with The Batman Adventures #12. In Batman: White Knight, the roles of Joker and Gotham’s Dark Knight are reversed; the Joker has been cured of his criminal insanity and is trying to stop a criminally insane Batman. But that Harley Quinn isn’t the same character in Batman: White Knight. Batman: White Knight #2 will be released on Nov. 1.

Another one of the Overwatch League’s founding teams has made their new name official as the San Francisco Shock join the league. The team made the name announcement with this short teaser video on Twitter.

Team Liquid concluded their post-championship break by taking the top prize at the StarLadder i-League Invitational this weekend. Each team’s battle through the group stages showed that neither Liquid nor Mineski was a force to be reckoned with. Of course, Team Liquid are The International 7’s champions, and they are playing on the same patch as the event, making their presence that much more intimidating. Most notably, America’s CompLexity, in their group stages, were able to defeat TI7 Grand F

When localization for the Overwatch League was first announced, one of the first questions on everyone’s minds was who will represent New York. Heroes Never Die: Overwatch League is doing something very different from any other esports league, not just because it’s starting with franchising, but also because it’s localized. And I think everything we are doing with the Overwatch team we are trying to add to an already incredible legacy that New York has. HND: What do you feel like the role of the

There’s evidence that The International 8 is moving up and heading north to Vancouver. There has been unease about TI’s staying power at Key Arena in Seattle, Washington, its current site, after the town announced plans to renovate the arena. It then moved to Benaroya Hall in Seattle, the current hometown, which kept the intimate feel, but TI outgrew itself quickly. The move to Canada was also suggested by fans after the current United States’s government was on-boarded. Fans had fears over immi

One of Rick and Morty’s biggest supporters is Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of various companies, including the luxury electric car line, Tesla. Yesterday, Musk entered a lengthy Twitter conversation with the official Rick and Morty account, breaking down singularity and joking about video games. The conversation ended with Musk joking that they could party harder than Pablo Escobar and Kurt Cobain ever could, launching pandemonium on the internet and catching the attention of Rick and Mort

This season’s Victorious skin has been teased and it looks like it’s going to Graves! The skin was teased on Facebook on Friday, with a render of a champion that seems to be Graves, judging by the face. This means that if you rank Gold or higher before the end of the season, you will be rewarded with this skin (and the champion if you don’t own him already). There has been no official date marking the end of season 7 yet, but with preseason beginning on November 8, we can assume it’s before then

The first, full-length trailer for Pacific Rim Uprising made its debut during New York Comic Con this afternoon. Pacific Rim Uprising picks up 10 years after the Battle of the Breach that occurred in Pacific Rim. In the trailer, which features both Jaeger vs. Jaeger as well as Jaeger vs. Kaiju fighting, Boyega provides the voiceover with his own inspirational speech referencing the apocalypse (something Elba’s character does in the first). Unlike Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro will not be retur

Marvel has announced that it will stream the first screening of Joe Quesada Presents: My Chat with Stan Lee on Oct. 7 at New York Comic Con following the removal of Netflix’s Punisher panel. Joe Quesada Presents: My Chat with Stan Lee focuses on an interview between Marvel’s chief creative officer Joe Quesada and the comic publisher’s iconic writer and creator, Stan Lee. In a statement to Polygon, the companies said it would be inappropriate to hold the panel. After careful consideration, Netfli

The team at Double Fine appeared cool, calm and collected this week in a video tour of the first small playable section of Psychonauts 2. It’s not done yet, but the team at Double Fine is using its creation as a test case for improving their processes in later sections of the game. McClendon said that Double Fine wants them to be a surprise for fans. Schafer told Polygon in 2015 that figure was closer to $13.5 million, with the lion’s share coming from Double Fine itself and an anonymous investo

While European Splatoon 2 players are set to debate the proper way to hang toilet paper on a roll this weekend, Nintendo Switch owners in North America will soon be asked to weigh in on which is better: vampires or werewolves? Actually, it’s not exactly clear what next weekend’s Splatfest is trying to sort out. Should they choose stupid vampires, or really cool werewolves? As noted in the tweet from Nintendo’s Versus account, Splatoon 2’s next Splatfest for North America kicks off Oct. 13 at 9 p

Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie will tie up some of the classic Nickelodeon cartoon’s 13-year-old loose ends when it premieres this November. It helps that Craig Bartlett, creator of Hey Arnold!, kept the hope of making more of the show alive over the years. We got The Jungle Movie greenlit.’”Projects like a Hey Arnold! “Maybe eventually they’d even become teenagers.”The Jungle Movie airs Nov. 24, but we’ll have to wait and see if this just the start of something new.
