The Game Awards are losing their luster

It’s Game Awards season, y’all.

There are no good outcomes for the Warner Bros. sale

Netflix is the frontrunner to become Warner Bros.’ new owner, but the war for control of the legacy studio isn’t over just yet.

Somehow, this AI-generated McDonald’s ad about hating Christmas was a flop

If you’re having a stressful holiday season, the answer is McDonald’s – at least, that’s what a now-removed AI-generated ad suggested. Set to a song calling holiday season “the most terrible time of the year,” the ad shows AI-generated people falling victim to a slew of wintery woes, including family dinners, shopping, caroling, baking cookies, […]

Wake Up Dead Man digs deep for a darker, more powerful Knives Out

Over two films, Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series has offered something largely absent from the modern movie landscape: intricate murder mysteries full of humor and gasp-worthy moments. The original Knives Out started things off relatively small with a cozy whodunit, which then became a larger and more elaborate puzzle with the sequel Glass Onion. Both […]

It’s ugly, it’s beautiful, it’s how you know a game might be a classic

At their biggest and most expensive, video games all sort of look the same. The reason often comes down to simple economics: More resources means more costs that need to be recouped, and historically the way publishers have done that is by being comically risk-averse. Hence the glut of semi-realistic rocky wastelands that look like […]

Skateboarding is better in hell

Skate Story is two very different things simultaneously. On the one hand, it’s a visceral take on skateboarding, providing a tight, fast, ground-level view as you brute-force your way through tricks and combos. But it’s also a surrealist trip through the underworld where you control a skateboarding demon who faces off against the devil. Think […]
