Whether it’s the Gary Oak to Ash Ketchum or the Vegeta to Goku, the most popular character in an anime is almost always the rival. There’s something about that character type that speaks to all of us. As the stories progress, they’re defeated by our hero, undergoing a crisis of confidence before rebuilding themselves anew. It’s a great formula that almost never disappoints, and this is just as true in Yu-Gi-Oh!...

If you haven’t already seen the newest Corridor Digital video going around, I’m jealous of your algorithm, because it made me roll my eyes so hard I got a headache. This production studio went mildly viral a few months ago with an AI-generated anime video of two dudes playing Rock Paper Scissors. It looked like shit, had absolutely no style, and the facial movements freaked many people out. The team, naturally, said that having AI animate sequences was democratising art, while totally ignoring that the AI was trained on the work of real artists and animators, and was essentially stealing that labour in service of an inferior result....
Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming expansion,Phantom Liberty,is going on tour. The first leg of this showcase kicked off yesterday, letting fans in Warsaw try out the new story ahead of its launch.

One of the strongest aspects ofLies of Pis the level of customization that is possible.

A couple of months ago, when rumors began circulating around the price point of PlayStation’s new handheld console, I proclaimed thatSony would be out of its collective mind to charge more than $200for it. Well, lo and behold, the PlayStation Portal, formerly Project Q, will indeed be sold for $200. When I saw the news, I breathed a sigh of relief, for reason had prevailed. Then I read the details, and my heart sank as I realized Sony had still managed to devastate me in the end....
When the final DLC forSonic Frontiers, the Final Horizon campaign, launched, most fans assumed they knew what to expect. A return of the ability to play as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles; a tweaked final world and last boss; and a revision to the third act of a story most agreed was fairly anticlimactic. And in fairness, it does deliver these things. What they probablyweren’texpecting, however, was absolute white-knuckle difficulty. No joke: this DLC is the hardest (official) content theSonicseries has ever seen....
