History confirmed Vikings season 6 to the surprise of no one back in September of 2017, which was about two full years before it was expected to arrive. While the guarantee of another season of the action-packed drama for a 20-episode sixth season remains true in 2019, an unfortunate addendum has been added: Vikings season 6 will serve as the show’s final outing. However, don’t expect History’s Vikings continuity to fade into, well, history, just yet....
The Star Wars fans who are still saddened over the cancellation of the video game known unofficially as, “Ragtag,” should prepare to feel sad all over again, as a person close to the project has revealed that it was a lot closer to completion than anyone had realized.

This Dune article contains spoilers. It remains to be seen if Dune will win Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars. For certain fans of science fiction cinema, it certainly feels like it should. Just like the novel it adapts, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is more than just a good science fiction story, it’s a good movie first and a good science fiction film second. This means that arguably it’s a good Dune adaptation third....
For a mostly silent protagonist, Mario has never had an issue expressing himself through body language and facial expressions. If anyone were to be up to the task of judging what someone’s mood is based on their face, it would be him. But, things are never so simple in the world of Paper Mario: The Origami King. So, when Mario is challenged to guess the mood of another character blocking him on his quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom, it just so happens to be a Snifit....
This review of The Orville: New Horizons contains spoilers. The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 6 When season 3 of The Orville started, it was difficult to tell in which direction it may head. It had been several years since the second season ended, it had changed networks, and even got a fresh new title.

This article contains some minor spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In the pages of Marvel Comics, Shang-Chi is known as the “Master of Kung Fu.” So when Marvel Studios announced the character to help usher in MCU Phase 4, the one thought on every fan’s mind was that whoever gets cast in the lead role better really know Kung Fu.

It was recently confirmed that Netflix has recast a major character ahead of The Witcher season 2, primarily due to conflicts in scheduling that have arisen as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The news comes from a recent report published by Deadline, which features information pertaining to the new casting. Although the character in question is new to the Netflix series, having not appeared in its inaugural season, those who have played CD Projekt Red’s Witcher trilogy — or just The Witcher 3, for that matter — will likely be acquainted with Eskel, Geralt’s friend and companion from the Wolf School in Kaer Morhen....
Netflix has paused production on the anticipated second season of The Witcher, ceasing filming sessions in the United Kingdom due to concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The rapid spread of the illness has slowed down a significant portion of the entertainment industry thanks to an abundance of caution for crew members, cast members, and fans globally, and it appears that Netflix’s The Witcher is no exception. The fantasy drama series was actively continuing production just a few days ago, even as Netflix itself suspended production on its domestically filmed projects in the United States and Canada....
That’s right. According to new data, the all-conquering Fortnite is only the third-biggest title in terms of worldwide prize money from tournaments! It’s taken quite some time for esports to be recognized as a global force to be reckoned with. The concept continues to grow, with mega-hits like Overwatch, League of Legends and Rocket League leading the charge. As tournaments gathered steam, their scale increased, more viewers were attracted, and prize pots grew exponentially....
Video games, despite being a multi-billion dollar a year industry, remain a priceless form of escape and art to countless gamers and fans.

UK based company H&T Pawnbrokers has decided to not only assess the value of real life items, artifacts and art, but to create an approximate financial value for some of video games most iconic weapons, items and assets....
Voldemort. Krillin. Snakes, I guess. A lot of notable creatures don’t have noses. But Shantae, the vaguely problematic character who’s just too stinking cute to write thinkpieces about, has never been one of them. That is, until now. FanGamer has announced an adorable new plush to coincide with Shantae and the Seven Sirens, the plucky little gal’s latest adventure. Priced at $23.99, the plush will sit at 8 inches tall, and will also come complete with poseable hair....
There are quite a few exciting things happening this week in the world of Overwatch and particularly the Overwatch League as the third-year esport continues to experiment with the schedule format following the original 2020 season being obliterated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, though… Echo once again returns to play following hilariously bad timing and a weird decision for the development team to allow Echo to be banned only one week after her Overwatch debut....
Though many games feature time travel in some form, true time travel games—games that use time travel not just as a plot device, but as a mechanic—aren’t as common as you might think. Despite being a popular trope in books, comics, and movies, time travel tends to take a backseat to other game mechanics, as it can be hard to execute thanks to a variety of rules and restrictions in portraying it realistically....
The Fallout series has always been about living out a post-apocalyptic fantasy. Over the years, Interplay, Bethesda and Obsidian have taken that idea and built a seriously dark world giving players a brilliant series of sandboxes to play around in. Aside from leveling up and earning new skills with which to battle bigger and badder enemies, the Fallout franchise allows players to verbally interact with the NPCs of the world and make serious choices that effect the story, the characters and the greater world therein....
The video game developer Respawn Entertainment officially announces the release date of the first free DLC map for its first-person shooter Titanfall 2. Prior to the release of its mech-centric shooter Titanfall 2, one of the most exciting aspects leading up to the game’s availability was developer Respawn Entertainment’s promise to eventually include free DLC for the title, because it “[didn’t] want to split the community.” Thankfully, it seems as if the initial round of gratis post-launch content is set to make its way to the game soon, as the first free DLC map will come out on November 30 for those who pre-ordered Titanfall 2 ahead of its release....
