Of course, we’re talking about WandaVision, which premieres this Friday on Disney+ with the first two of its nine episodes. As promised after months of hints, teases, photos, and finally trailers, WandaVision stars two of the most powerful beings in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and the synthezoid known as Vision (Paul Bettany). The setting is derived from the studio-bound comedies of the ‘50s, with I Love Lucy being one touchstone while more obscure titles like I Married Joan also come to mind....

The online tactical first-person shooter Warface: Breakout, developed by Russian developer MY.GAMES, has launched today for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Set within the Warface franchise that first appeared in 2013, Warface: Breakout is a standalone spin-off that expands upon the original game with a heavy focus on Counter-Strike inspired multiplayer battles, resource management, and gunplay-focused combat. Gameplay consists of classic “search and destroy” style matches in which two opposing five-person teams must either plant or defuse a bomb....

One of Warframe’s most exciting content updates just received a new trailer. Digital Extremes’ largest expansion yet, the Plains of Eidolon, will add the game’s first Landscape to Warframe, a vast open world area that players are free to explore and adventure in. Up until recently the Plains of Eidolon update has remained somewhat mysterious, but the new trailer and several long gameplay recordings have helped build Warframe players’ anticipation....

A UK QA tester shares a Watch Dogs 2 screenshot that features gratuitous nudity in-game and is promptly banned from the PlayStation Network as a result. While Watch Dogs 2 has been widely praised for the changes it has made in location and tone - something that Game Rant’s Watch Dogs 2 hands-on missions have emphasized - its release has also been marred by some post-launch problems. Despite early reviews looking promising for what should be a revitalization of Ubisoft’s mix of action and stealth, hacking-based gameplay, it looks as though Watch Dogs 2 might follow the recent trend set by Titanfall 2....

In order to obtain Watch Dogs Legion’s Meta-Gaming trophy players must recruit a Video Game Designer to their teams. While this task may seem quite straightforward, locating a Video Game Designer in Watch Dogs Legion can prove fairly challenging, and indeed some fans may find themselves stuck trying to earn this achievement. Fortunately, there is a method that makes recruiting a Video Game Designer very easy, and players can find full details in this guide....

12 Aries - Barbarian Aries starts things off in the Western zodiac and is the first of the Fire signs. Aries is often described as being courageous, determined and competitive, putting everything they have into “winning”. That fiery drive leads Aries to be impatient, impulsive and even aggressive at times when their goals are hindered. And if that doesn’t just scream Barbarian nothing else does. The Barbarian class uses the Rage mechanic to make them even stronger brawlers, giving them an advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, a bonus to damage rolls and resistance to slashing, bludgeoning and piercing damage....

The fourth season of Overwatch League starts tomorrow with the three-week build-up to May Melee, one of the four tournaments taking place over the coming months. This season will be split into two because of COVID-19, those parts being East and West. West sports 12 teams from both Europe and North America. They are the Atlanta Reign, Boston Uprising, Dallas Fuel, Florida Mayhem, Houston Outlaws, London Spitfire, Los Angeles Gladiators, Paris Eternal, San Francisco Shock, Vancouver Titans, Toronto Defiant, and Washington Justice....

The news of The Sims 4: Paranormal stuff pack had The Sims community a-buzz, and it wasn’t from the spine-tingling horrors that awaited. The developer introduced the ideas for a stuff pack of this caliber back when Nifty Knitting won the community vote, but the idea for “Happy Haunts” went over well with much of the community. Though the original pitch has a few elements found in the Paranormal stuff pack, this pack is also much more refined than the “Happy Haunts” idea, which works to its advantage....

This article contains major The Suicide Squad spoilers. But you could tell that from the headline. We have a spoiler-free review here. Well done! You’ve survived The Suicide Squad! James Gunn’s stunning supervillain flick is a brutal ride through DC’s most deep cut characters and now you want to dig deep into what happened. So we’re here to break down that shocking ending, where we leave our heroes, and what’s next for the Suicide Squad in the DCEU....

As far as fictional religious organizations in video games go, the Church of the Eternal Fire in The Witcher games has been one of the most deplorable. They were once a mere cult with an armed wing in the first game but somehow managed to become a recognized church by the third game. Even so, their beliefs and conduct didn’t change at all– they were still a bunch of racist humans in The Witcher world and would jump at any opportunity to promote hate....

Anyone who read The Witcher books or played The Witcher games is well aware that Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, or Ciri, is one of the most powerful characters in the entire franchise. She was born of the Elder Blood, giving her insane powers over space and time. Though she is one of the toughest and strongest characters in TheWitcher 3, with her natural-born powers and skills from being trained by witchers, there are some villains from other video games that might give her a run for her money....

When it was announced that the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise was coming to EGS last month, I was terrified. The cast of Kingdom Hearts are some of the most beloved and innocent (and underaged) characters in all of gaming, so of course, modders are probably frothing at the mouth to defile them. In the two weeks since the games came out on PC, surprisingly, I haven’t had to make one call to the horny police....

Vicarious Visions’ Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remake is one of the biggest game releases of September 2020, alongside titles like NBA 2K21 and the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection. According to publisher Activision Blizzard, it has already been a landmark success for the long-running extreme sports series. The recently-released remake is the fastest game to reach a million units sold across its entire franchise that began with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in 1999, according to a Tweet put out by Activision Blizzard today....

TikTok has been a major topic of conversation in the United States for the past week. Since President Trump said that his administration was looking into banning TikTok, many users of the app have been incredibly uncertain about the future of the app’s presence in the United States. Now it seems like the future is a little more clear, as the President signed an executive order banning both TikTok and WeChat from the country....

One of the more disturbing things to see on Twitch is someone being swatted. A malicious fan learns of a streamer’s address and calls the police under the false pretense of an emergency or crisis event happening at the residence that would warrant sending in the SWAT team. The practice of swatting can have fatal consequences, and often the perpetrator is able to escape justice due to the anonymity of the internet....

It looks like Twitch will be ringing in 2021 with some big changes to how it handles harassment and hate. The platform has announced that it will update its hateful conduct and harassment policies to place an emphasis on identifying and eliminating unwelcome sexual comments that occur on the service. The update will also see a ban on images of the Confederate Flag on the site. In a statement about the changes, which will officially take effect on January 22, the site outlined how it has broken down policies into three distinct categories: Harassment, Hateful Conduct, and Sexual Harassment....

Speaking to the BBC, two scalpers in the UK claim they are currently making thousands through buying and reselling next gen consoles. One scalper, going by the pseudonym “Jake”, says he has made £10,000 since last November. Another scalper who spoke in the report, Sam, reveals she makes £2000 a month. She defends the practice saying: “The reality is we buy stock, we own it, we can set the price. Some of the people in these groups do this to feed their families....

Most folks have heard of lo-fi music by now. From the dozens of music channels to the lo-fi covers and arrangements of popular songs on YouTube, it’s safe to say that lo-fi has taken off as a genre and fully entered the mainstream. In fact, it’s mainstream enough that companies are starting to create things using lo-fi as a gimmick, including dating sims, rhythm games, and even figurines. Bearmask is one such indie developer, whose new game Lo-Fi Room is slated to be released for PC and Android towards the end of 2021....

Kadabra’s 20-year disappearing act is over thanks to a change of heart from illusionist Uri Geller. The famed magician has apparently gotten a lot of emails on the subject, leading him to reach out to Nintendo and retract a ban he requested on Kadabra Pokemon cards. TheGamer originally dug into the topic of why Kadabra hasn’t been on a Pokemon trading card in almost 20 years. The Psychic-type Pokemon appeared in the official card game’s first set alongside the rest of its evolution line, Abra and Alakazam....

It has been rough for gamers to find a PS5 or Xbox Series X in-stock for the past few weeks, and this is exacerbated by the holiday shopping for Christmas, with the holiday now just one month away. Even with the various Black Friday deals out there, it’s challenging to find consoles, however, a new Twitch bot channel may be the answer to gamers looking for one of the next-generation consoles....
