Many of us have or had an Uncle Frank in our lives. Mine was my cousin Bobby, who lived with his mother (my great-aunt) in the downstairs apartment of our brownstone in Brooklyn. I lived there too for a while, on the top floor with my mom and grandparents. Bobby was a school teacher, well educated, and one of the voices of calm and reason in our otherwise highly emotional, often high-strung family....

But there are three other secret biomes that exist on the massive map of Valheim, and the Ashlands is one of them.

In almost every great game, there’s a palpable sense of building tension as you fight your way through enemies to the final confrontation with your arch nemesis.

This Vikings review contains spoilers. Vikings Season 6 Episode 10 “Today it is a sad day; we lost a child. But it will be far worse to lose a country.” It would appear that the gods have, in fact, abandoned Bjorn Ironside. Now that it nears the end of its six season run, there’s not much Vikings hasn’t already shown us, but by continuing its experimentation with a challenging nonlinear narrative in the mid-season finale, the series takes viewers on a surreal journey that brings the Lothbrok brothers together and ends with the death of the man who would be king....
Blizzard has released the latest update for its enormously popular hero shooter Overwatch, which is available now for PC players via the Public Test Realm. Among a host of fixes and tweaks, the patch makes a couple of changes to the way certain characters utilize their wall-climbing abilities. Genji and Hanzo no longer have an attack cooldown associated with their ability to scale walls. This means that players can engage with enemies immediately after climbing a surface, which Blizzard describes in its patch notes as a quality of life improvement intended to refine the feel of the traversal mechanic....
Vision has had a rough old time of it. He died in Avengers: Infinity War twice, first by his wife Wanda’s hand - at his request - in order to keep Thanos from obtaining the Infinity Stone in his head, then again by Thanos himself after the Time Stone was able to bring him back to life. Now, he’s back, back, back again in WandaVision, but is he, really? We’ve had a look at the series so far, the rest of the MCU, and trawled the comics for hints to try and answer the question: is Vision really dead?...
With the recent arrival of The Heart of Deimos, there’s more ways to fight in Warframe than ever before. You can hop in the new Necramech to go on a corn-fueled rampage, or you can whip out your K-Drive to shoot enemies while doing mid-air kickflips. But the core of Warframe will always remain the titular Warframe, so it’s probably a good idea to make sure you’ve got yourself a ‘frame that’s as well equipped as can be....
Let’s be clear about one thing: Warriors: Rise to Glory! is almost certainly going to land on mobile devices just as soon as developer Gavra Games has finished building it for PC. It’s a casual game with ultra-simple controls that lend themselves so easily to mobile that it would be stupid NOT to put Warriors: Rise to Glory! on Google Play of the App Store. That said, you can get Warriors: Rise to Glory!...
Where there is an exploit, the cheaters of Call of Duty: Warzone will find it. Activision and Infinity Ward have been battling the plague of cheaters since the game’s launch, but cheaters continue to show ingenuity and adaptability in every instance.

Bethesda and Nintendo kicked things off on E3 day zero last night and today the party continues. Microsoft takes the stage early in the day, just after noon (ET), and will need to drop some big news to make sure that its conference isn’t overshadowed by Ubisoft, EA, and Sony later in the day.

Fans who have been following the pre-show buzz know that Halo 5: Guardians and a new Gears of War game will likely be two of the big highlights, but hopefully Microsoft still has a few surprises up its sleeve, as well....

A brand new mainline game in the massively successful Baldur’s Gate series, Baldur’s Gate 3, is currently in early access and will likely remain there for another year. With Larian Studios picking up development of the series, many fans were surprised but excited to hear that the studio behind the Divinity series had successfully acquired the IP rights to the Baldur’s Gate.

Nintendo might not think Mario Kart can be improved upon, but we have a couple of ideas that could really take the next installment in the franchise to the next level. Nintendo appears to be doing all that it can to avoid giving gamers Mario Kart 9. Launching Tour on mobile, allowing us to race around our living rooms via Home Circuit. All we really want is Mario Kart 9. However, the continued success of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the sales department suggests that Mario Kart 9 isn’t at the top of Nintendo’s to-do list....

This Bridgerton feature contains spoilers for the series. Although Netflix’s Bridgerton has actively resisted the label of historical accuracy in favor of a fantasy approach to the era, it is still worth uncovering which scenes, events, and references represent a more creative interpretation to history and which are references to real events. Dr. Hannah Greig, the historical advisor to the series, describes Bridgerton as “a combination of a historical truth – which is to say that the past is more diverse than we tend to see on screen, and we tend to accept in our popular imagination....
Even after deciding to pursue their own creative projects post-Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, Anthony and Joe Russo still work with the stars of the MCU, preferring to do so because they’re comfortable with the actors. As such, several of their projects star MCU leads, 21 Bridges starring Chadwick Boseman, and Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth. Back in April, the two directors said that they were in talks with Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr....
The latest game pack for The Sims 4 brings the Star Wars universe into the game on a scale never seen before. The DLC adds the planet of Batuu, as well as characters, missions, clothing and build and buy items, so your sims can now create some Star Wars magic, anywhere you like. However, this pack is not the first time simmers have taken inspiration from a galaxy far, far away....
Sometimes, telly’s only job is to make us feel better about ourselves. We tune into things to tune out of others, and root for someone that has it worse off. Watching Euphoria’s Rue space out or Cassie dress up as an extra from Oklahoma! is now TV’s messy binge-watch of choice. For early 2000s Brits, the obsession started with CBBC’s The Story of Tracy Beaker. At its core, the premise was simple....
