In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war. Except, that’s not quite true any more. There are hundreds ofWarhammernovels nowadays, and many of their characters never step foot on the battlefield. The Warhammer Horror and Warhammer Crime brands are filled with warless novels, stories of Hive City detectives and the creepiest corners of the galaxy. Of course, there’s still a lot of books about war, but it’s notonlywar any more....

This article contains spoilers for The Killer. Earlier this year, a tweet from trailer editor Andrew Hegele went semi-viral on Film Twitter, otherwise known as the loose assemblage of unhinged cinema-obsessed posters dedicated to getting angry about movies every day (I say this with love). In it, Hegele listed several of the best known directors currently working, alongside the length of time it had been since they last directed a film set in the modern day....

Slivers are one of the most prominent, aesthetically consistent and divisive creature types inMagic: The Gathering. There are just as many Sliver-lovers as self-proclaimed Sliver-haters, and with each new wave of support there’s an influx of new Sliver decks waiting to dredge up past feelings of admiration or disgust. The Hivemind carries on, unthinking, unfeeling, ever-consuming.

Alan Wake 2 is a game that wears its influences on its sleeves, yet is simultaneously completely its own thing. I guess you can say that about all of Remedy’s games. The original Alan Wake, plus Control, Quantum Break, and even Max Payne are rooted in specific horror, sci-fi, and noir traditions, and at times even directly reference the games and films that inspired them. But all of those games have also left their own footprint on the industry, and established themes and tones that are now quintessentially Remedy’s....

InBaldur’s Gate 3, you getinspirationthrough your deeds and dialogue choices. This comes with a comical title in a pop-up menu. But HGXIV co-creator Dividus spotted something more behind one of these jokes–aFinal Fantasy 14reference.Early in Act 2, Dividus got a folk-hero-only inspiration called “A Smile Better Suits…”, which is a nod toHaurchefant Greystone’sdeath in Final Fantasy 14. His last words are, “Oh, do not look at me so. A smile better suits a hero…” Given that FF14 fansadoreHaurchefant (to put it lightly), this nod expectedly tugged at the heartstrings....

Good games make you want to write an article about them. That happened recently when I playedPseudoregalia, a Titanfall/Zelda mashup (believe me, it works). I did the same forViewfinder. It happens a lot with brilliant indies that I know won’t traffic too well, but I absolutely must write about them. So go ahead, click those links, make a small dev’s day. Baldur’s Gate 3has possessed me. As much as I love playing Larian’s sprawling RPG, I think I love writing about it more....

Barbie’s dominant run at the box office continues as the movie has sailed past the $1 billion threshold and is now breathing down the neck ofThe Super Mario Bros. Movie.

InStarfield, differentbackgrounds and traitsoffer unique dialogue options throughout the Settled Systems, but one that has gone viral with fans is an extrovert choice that lets you gaslight a patrolling guard. EarlGrey_Picard was apprehended by a gun-happy UC officer who said, “There’s been word of suspicious behaviour, from someone matching your description”. Typically, you’d persuade your way out of the altercation or attack them, creating an unnecessary bloodbath. Extroverts, however, can be toddlers about it and “nuh-uh” their way to safety....
