The game’s charm and sustained, free support from developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone have earned the title dedicated fans and near-universal acclaim. Its successes command a level of influence that rivals two AAA releases that continue to shape gaming trends years after their release: Nintendo’sThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Bethesda’sThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim....

In a gaming world dominated by constantly evolving battle royales and innovative multiplayer shooters, it’s hard to believe that a game likeTeam Fortress 2sits at the top of any players' game list. Granted,Team Fortress 2is a multiplayer FPS itself, though it’s also been 14 years since release. While receiving updates here and there,Team Fortress 2gradually lost its player count, though it has spiked on occasion. Such a thing occurred this weekend when the competitive shooter broke its Steam record for all-time concurrent players....

Building a PC is more accessible than ever, and many people tend to lean toward customizable options as personal design preferences can range from form-over-function builds to those that are built around raw performance. However, as CPUs and GPUs continue to growmore demanding in their power requirements(and subsequent heat generation), it does warrant the need for more adequate cooling options to keep things running smoothly and at peak performance. The longevity of a PC directly depends on the operating temperatures of its components....

One of the most common tropes in any film or TV Series involving magic is the existence of a lair. A lair is the home of a magical creature or being, often underground or somewhere far off and remote where they are unlikely to be disrupted by non-magical beings i.e. people. The giant spider demon is a great example of this, with Shelob’s lair being the cold, dark caverns on the borders of Mordor, filled with her sticky webs and remains of her prey....

The Witcher 3came out 6 years ago, but thanks to Netflix’s ownWitcherseries starring Henry Cavill and the game’s lasting impact, there hardly goes a time when Geralt of Rivia goes unmentioned.

While the list of discrepancies between Andrzej Sapkowski’s books,The Witchergames, and Netflix’s hit series continues to grow, each of those has won over the hearts of fans for different reasons....

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to how damage works inDiablo 4.It’s easy to just pick up and use whatever item has green numbers on it, but players will want to pay attention to the affixes in the gear they have to see if they fit the build they want to rock. Thorns is another avenue for damage that doesn’t show up inDiablo 4’sautomatic number-crunching system. This stat doesn’t reflect in item comparison windows or the Attack summary in the character screen....

Over the last few years, Netflix’s slate of original content hasn’t exactly wowed its audience. While there are stand-outs likeThe Umbrella AcademyandSquid Game, the vast majority of Netflix Originals tend to be disappointingly average, appealing to such a wide audience that they lose any sense of identity in the process.Stranger Thingsis one of the clear exceptions. Since its first season debuted in 2016,Stranger Thingshas managed to capture the popular zeitgeist like few shows can, and its popularity has never let up....

There have been plenty more mods since then, perhaps most famously one that lets players play as Zelda instead of Link....

The original series ofResident Evilfilms starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson were some impressively successful movies, raking in decent box office numbers in a time where video game adaptations were often risky prospects. One thing that slightly disappointed fans, however, was the fact the films rarely, if ever, took direct inspiration from the games, often choosing to supplantestablishedResident Evilstories and characterswith their own versions of those same ideas....
