There’s a running joke in the Marvel movies that Star-Lord is jealous of Thor due to all the attention he gets from the other Guardians of the Galaxy. As it turns out, in real life, it’s the other way around, as Chris Hemsworth is intimidated by Chris Pratt’s ability to improvise jokes on the fly. The Guardians actors have been down in Sydney recently shooting their scenes for Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Hemsworth, who reprises his role as the God of Thunder....

The edit, made by user Benjamin Crew and posted to Vimeo, shows Michael Keaton’s Batman in its entirety but redesigned as a silent film. It’s a fitting re-edit of the film, considering Burton draws so much influence from the silent era, especially the dark and gothic look of a film movement known as German Expressionism....

Twitch decided to pull the plug on the PogChamp emote a few days ago following comments made by Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez about the protests in Washington D.C. Twitch admittedly has a controversial history with how it handles emote modifications, although today, Twitch announced its plans to revive the iconic emote following a suggestion from a Twitter user.

A Unity Developer has posted a rather inventive creation on Reddit that shows off a gun designed specifically for rock melting.

The main body of the gun is light grey in color with two transparent panels on the side that glows blue from the plasma within when it is being shot....

It looks like there is a chance that upcoming Warner Bros. games will have a live-service focus. Twitter user MauroNL has revealed an internship listing that mentions the direction Warner Bros. is going in for future games. The live-service genre is certainly a hot topic in the gaming industry today. In essence, it refers to games which see consistent updates after the official launch. At best, live-service can deliver extras like new options, story, or gear for players to explore over time....

Valheim is a survival game that requires players to scour the lands for resources. While some are easy to find lying around the world, like wood, copper ore, stone, or even obsidian in Valheim, players will have to dig a little deeper to get silver ore.

Valorant players have discovered a game-breaking bug with one of the game’s playable characters, Cypher. Thousands of people have been enjoying the Valorant beta since it launched earlier this month, but the problem with Cypher seems to be the biggest issue that players have found with the new multiplayer shooter.

Let’s share a rumor and a fact. The fact is that Valve has a boatload of money, so much so, that Valve co-founder and figurehead Gabe Newell has earned a spot or Forbes billionaires list. The rumor from a month ago is that Valve could be using some of this cash flow to develop an open-source console. After the obligatory (partial) denial from Valve who claim no such hardware would be shipping anytime soon (like Half-Life 3!...

Video games are the fruit fly of artificial intelligence research. There’s a fair amount to unpack from that statement, so let’s just dive right in. Artificial intelligence - or AI - is undoubtedly a buzzphrase (haha, because flies) at the moment, and it’s only gaining more momentum as research grows. As that research grows and more people recognize its potential, it’s probably not too outlandish to think AI will be wriggling its way into more and more corners of our daily lives....

While Levine makes no mention of it in his letter, rumors are starting to swirl that hypothesize this delay might allow developer Irrational Games some time to add multiplayer to the game....

Books and classic novels are absolutely prime for video game adaptations. The likes of BioShock, The Witcher series or the Metro games are proof that gaming can tackle the complex stories that books have to offer. Now it appears that a studio is making a whale hunting simulator not too dissimilar to Herman Melville’s masterpiece Moby Dick. Essex: The Whale Hunter is being developed by Polish studio 3T Games and will challenge players to gather a steely crew of sailors in order to find and capture sperm whales....

The Outer Worlds’ first DLC, Peril on Gorgon, has just been released, and it gives players the chance to visit a brand new planet, obtain some unique weapons and armor, and more. However, before fans can experience the DLC for themselves, they must first access it, and the way that is done may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, it is quite easy to start Peril on Gorgon with just a bit of instruction, though some players may find that they are not able to do so immediately....

With guests including Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho, Amy Bruni, and even your truly, Ghosted! maintains a balance, which fits just perfectly for her. After all, before she became known as Roz Drezfalez, she grew up in a potentially haunted house, as she revealed in an episode of Den of Geek’s paranormal podcast show Talking Strange (available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube). “I grew up in a house I believed to be haunted, and grew up with a belief that that kind of thing is possible,” she says....
