This article contains spoilers for WandaVision. It’s become a hallmark of WandaVision’s sitcom world that the action stops to feature a commercial. These commercials often provide links to Wanda Maximoff’s own life. As each new episode launches, there’s a new commercial for the audience to pick apart. From the Strucker watch to Yo-Magic, the commercials prove creative and entertaining. In the seventh episode of WandaVision, that commercial is for Nexus. Nexus is advertised as an antidepressant....

WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen has teased an upcoming surprise in store on the show on the level of Luke Skywalker’s appearance in season two of The Mandalorian. Mark Hamill’s appearance remained a secret and was not known until the finale aired, so it is equally possible a massive MCU character appearance in WandaVision could have been kept under wraps. When asked if WandaVision had a Luke Skywalker level surprise to come, as in a casting she could not believe had not been leaked yet, Elizabeth Olsen confirmed with a “Yes....

Eerie, desolate sci-fi series War of the Worlds aired in France in late 2019 and earlier this year in the US and UK. Less an adaptation of the titular H.G. Wells novel than a contemporary riff on the alien invasion thriller by creator Howard Overman (Crazyhead, Misfits), it resolutely ploughed its own furrow. Moody, atmospheric, bleak and emotional, it swapped red weed, tripods and heat rays for a grief-soaked meditation on family and survival… with terrifying alien robot sniper dogs....

Ubisoft releases patch notes for new Watch Dogs 2 update, which includes additions and changes to missions, leaderboards, and weapon mechanics, among other fixes. Despite receiving fairly strong reviews across the board, Watch Dogs 2 has struggled to sell well with gamers. The unique take on the world of hacking offers plenty of engaging gameplay, along with intriguing characters, but thanks to the letdown of its predecessor and some challenges with multiplayer at launch, Watch Dogs 2 continues to hobble along....

Sackboy: A Big Adventure was recently revealed during the Playstation 5 event, and has brought back the cute Little Big Planet mascot. While this new platformer keeps much of the Little Big Planet aesthetic, it has shifted into more traditional 3D platforming rather than the sidescrolling gameplay from previous franchise entries. This new entry isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel in terms of platforming gameplay, but it looks fun. Many are excited that Sackboy gets his moment in the spotlight once again....

In the capsule network, specific methodology is applied to image processing to try to affect an understanding of objects from a three-dimensional spectrum. Techopedia Explains Capsule Network (CapsNet) To understand capsule networks or what Hinton has called the “dynamic routing between capsules” algorithm, it is important to understand convolutional neural networks (CNNs)....

Last year, Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons were released on the same day, ostensibly for two completely opposite audiences. This week, the pulse-pounding roguelike shooter Returnal is launching on the same day as chillcore photography simulator New Pokemon Snap. I’m not expecting the same kind of epic crossover we got last year from these two titles, but I’d be remiss not to mention just how diametrically opposed these two games are, because the juxtaposition brings me so much joy....

Last week, Disney+ launched its new series, The Right Stuff, based on the best-selling book and award-winning movie of the same name. The Right Stuff series dramatizes the experiences of the test pilots chosen to be the first Americans to go to space. Much of the series’s focus is on the astronomical press coverage the first astronauts received and the difficulties of the fame that accompanied it. That media coverage is the raw material used to create the documentary The Real Right Stuff, a two-hour-long special by National Geographic featuring rare footage and interviews....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 18 The Simpsons Season 32 episode 17 ” Burger Kings,” continues to charbroil Springfield mythology into tasty nuggets of classic comedy. With so much grease built up over the years, the cooks are unafraid to refry old dishes as new cuisine.

The recently released Granblue Fantasy Versus is already making a big splash in the fighting game community due to its finely tuned gameplay, balanced roster, and beautiful visuals. Unlike many games which possess numerous characters with questionable viability who see little to no competitive play, each member Granblue’s roster has a toolset that is capable of bringing their respective player to victory. But while each character is viable in their own right, some characters in the game’s roster have a slight edge over the rest, whether it be through ease of use or the flexibility of their moveset....

When AMC released the official synopsis for The Walking Dead’s 11th and final season last week, fans could be forgiven for being a little disappointed. On an action-heavy show known for shambling hordes of corpses and terrifying villains, the description seemed to fall short of final season expectations. After your characters have confronted cultish freaks who wear the skin of the dead to blend in, concepts like food insecurity don’t seem quite so cinematic....

A recent conference call has hinted at the possibility of a sequel to the critically acclaimed Titanfall 2, which launched all the way back in 2016. After Respawn’s successful revival of Titanfall on Steam, following Electronic Arts releasing a number of its games to the platform, it is not surprising that there will be a possible third game in the series. During its 2020 Q1 financial conference call, EA’s own Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen teased the return of the Titanfall series in the future, following the unprecedented success of Apex Legends....

One popular appeal of the Fire Emblem series is players’ ability to raise and train their favorite characters throughout a given game, bringing them from zero to hero. While this can be incredibly rewarding, the series also contains characters who join a player’s army already in a promoted class, toting excellent combat capability, skills, and other strengths. These types of characters can be quite polarizing to players, as some love the raw strength they bring to one’s forces, while others argue that these units steal experience points from less capable units....

Valorant’s rise has been meteoric since its release. Its player base is rapidly growing, and new players are joining the game on a frequent basis. New players diving into the game might struggle with Valorant, especially in competitive mode. There is a lot that goes into climbing the ranked ladder, and not everyone finds it that easy.

A glitch in Overwatch makes it possible for players to reach the top of the Competitive Play leaderboard by losing most of their matches instead of winning them. Overwatch is not a perfect game. Blizzard is constantly refining it by fixing bugs, adding new content, and balancing characters in an attempt to make it an even better experience for its fans.

Warning: contains spoilers for Tribes of Europa episodes 1-6. Netflix’ latest German sci-fi Tribes of Europa comes from the same producers that brought us twisty time-travel sci-fi Dark. If you’ve already binged all six episodes, you may have lingering questions, we certainly do.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is a game that many will be hoping delivers on the potential of the new console generation. Gamers were wowed by the game’s E3 2014 cinematic trailer, whilst the opening gameplay videos promised an intriguing setting, nuanced gameplay, and tension between the different factions of New York City. The open-world title promised plenty, and soon became one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2015. Further information about the project has done nothing to dull enthusiasm, with publisher Ubisoft continuing to reveal more finite details about The Division....

There aren’t enough Wild West video games these days. Aside from Rockstar’s tremendously successful Red Dead Redemption and Fatshark’s Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West- developers just don’t seem interested in the oft-unexplored sub genre. Thankfully, Techland has begun teasing the next game in the Call of Juarez series - and a return to the series’ Old West roots, a welcome change after Call of Juarez: The Cartel’s modern day setting failed to impress fans....
