The Boys season 4 roundup: After that finale, what’s next?

Season 4 ofThe Boyshas set up the final stretch of a long ride that fans have been on since 2019. This season has made several stumbles, but finishing with a bang, Season 4 pulls itself together with an episode that makes most of those blunders feel worth it in the end. Sharpening dull edges This episode isn’t without its duds. Getting the weakest section out of the way, Frenchie and Kimiko finally get together, but after a season-long will-they-won’t-they that felt distracted at best....

The Daily Hotness: Home Brew IPA

Last Friday, one of my coworkers brought in a homemade IPA. Now I realize that this is kind of a BS review because no one else will be able to pick it up… like ever. Still, I thought drinking boss-approved-beer at work was cool enough to justify it. Normally, I don’t like IPA’s. Just not a fan of the hoppinness. Recently, though, I’ve been trying to break into the style by way of Surly, a local Minnesota brewer....

The new Ultraman’s YouTube stream now has English subtitles

In which a group of fans save the day One surprise that caught me off guard is the currentUltramanshow,Ultraman R/B, not appearing on Crunchyroll. The reason why this is strange is that the service simulcasted 2015’sUltraman X, 2016’sUltraman Orb, and 2017’sUltraman Geed. With the new installment appearing on Netflix Japan, we may have to give up on seeing it in the usual spot. Fortunately, the company behind the franchise, Tsuburaya, tends to feature the latest titles on their YouTubechannelfor a limited time....

The Romancelvania Demo shows off a strong marriage between two irresistible genres

Bloodlust. Or perhaps just lust. If there’s one thing I love more thanCastlevania, it’s the fantasy that someone can find me interesting enough to extend our companionship beyond the boundaries of a five-minute conversation about the weather. Ah, yes, that’s the good stuff. Now, what if you tookCastlevaniaand mashed it up with mydelusions of tolerability? You’d getRomancelvania, which sounds like a pun that is trying too hard until you realize it’s a play on the word Transylvania and notCastlevania....

These are the pre-order bonuses for Company of Heroes 2

The pre-order incentives forCompany of Heroes 2aren’t out of the ordinary, but the way in which they’re being offered is a bit different than what we’re used to. The base bonuses are beta access once that goes live and vehicle skins for the German Rotbraun and Russian Leningrad.And then there are the tiers. Essentially, the more peoplewho pre-orderon Steam, the better the rewards. Tier 1 is the obligatoryTeam Fortress 2gear, tier 2 is a free copy ofWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution, and reaching tier 3 will provide in-game currency, an XP and unit boost, and the Commander Archetype....

This is Battlefield 4’s chaotic multiplayer

Our review is coming! I didn’t pickBattlefield 3up until well after its initial release, but after running into launch-week issues for more than a few of DICE’s games now, I’m surprised. I was not expecting to be able to get intoBattlefield 4last night right as the game went live. Really digging the environment alternations, a bunch of which are shown here. Riding through that storm as waves come crashing down is scary and exhilarating....

This Witcher 3 overview trailer is cut well, also funny

Looks like a hell of a game In this overview forThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, protagonist Geralt and a woman sit on a unicorn in just their underwear and she uses “breathtaking magic” to dissolve her bra (quick, cut away!). It was at that point I shed some of my morning grogginess. Then, just seconds later, I became fully alert as the narrator described the game’s story in which “…age-old prophecies are interwoven with religious fanaticism, war crimes,even racism....

Todd Howard admits Bethesda knew Fallout 76 would have ‘bumps’ at launch

‘It’s not how you launch, it’s what it becomes’ I think it’s safe to say thatFallout 76did not meet anyone’s expectations. Fans were severely disappointed in Bethesda’s latest entry in the once proud series, the gameundersold at retail, there was amyriadofcustomerserviceissues, and above all, the gamewasn’t well received. Did Bethesda know its attempt at a live-service game would be met with such negativity? It turns out it did, at least according to Todd Howard....

Total War: Three Kingdoms is a more tactical take on the Chinese legend

Spies like us It’s high time I bought myself a proper gaming PC. Since high school, I’ve been a dedicated Mac user. Growing up, my goal was to be a filmmaker and for aspiring writer/directors, there was nothing more appealing than iMovie. That was to be my gateway to Hollywood fame and fortune. It was the program of choice in my filmmaking class and I used it to create my very first short film....
