Helen Lewis is reporter and staff writer for The Atlantic, but she also lent her voice to Watch Dogs Legion. She is a minor character in Watch Dogs, and her voice is only used for audio in two of the game’s podcasts, but recently Ubisoft announced that she is being removed from the project entirely. The issue stems from some controversial opinions which Lewis has voiced in her writing and on social media....

The Outer Worlds offers a unique take on the sci-fi genre with a good story that did not take itself too seriously. With gameplay similar to Fallout, but not so similar that it felt like a knockoff, it provided players with a unique setting in the Halcyon system, choices that had legitimate weight to them, great side quests and memorable characters and fleshed out companions. One of those characters is a companion named Felix....

It seems strange to imagine that in this, of all years, our top satirist of all things political, Armando Iannucci, has chosen to make an earnest and charming new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield. But here we are. Perhaps the sheer horror of exposing the absurdity of modern politics in films and series like In The Loop, The Thick of It, The Death of Stalin, and the nearly perfect Veep left Iannucci so spiritually depleted that he had to find solace in something wholesome again....

This article contains spoilers for The Sandman. Perhaps more than most writers, The Sandman creator Neil Gaiman, in collaboration with producers David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg, faced a considerable challenge when adapting his acclaimed comic book series for Netflix. Working within a medium that lends itself to deep lore and divergences, Gaiman wrote 80 issues of The Sandman between 1989 and 1996, weaving a rich narrative tapestry. Characters in the series ranged from historical figures such as William Shakespeare and Augustus Caesar, mythological creators from cultures across the globe, and DC Comics heroes....

In 2004, Mod The Sims was created to allow you to make even more changes than the original character design allowed for. Since average joes were allowed to mess with the code, this produced some interesting results. Most of the time, this would just cause the game to crash. However sometimes, it created interesting glitches and terrifying situations that haunted the dreams of players for years. These glitches didn’t stop with subsequent versions....

On the surface The Paladin’s Handbook, a Voltron Legendary Defender tie in guide, looks to be a just a bit of harmless fun for kids. It has some bullet point facts about the Voltron characters, universe, and lions with lots of big pictures. On a closer read though it gives fans some much needed information about characters back stories that we’ll probably never see in the show. Since most of this information isn’t likely to be contradicted in the future we’ll set aside the previously addressed question of whether the book is canonical....

“Would you buy a haunted house?” is always a fun hypothetical to consider. There are plenty of reasonable, skeptical folks don’t who believe in such things as ghosts or hauntings. The question for them often translates to the largely rhetorical “would you like to live in a large historical mansion?” to which the answer is obviously “yep.” Even for the true paranormal believers, however, rising mortgage interest rates and a tight housing market has to have them considering “how haunted is too haunted?...

Most RPGs allow players to consume potions or enhance their gear with temporary buffs, but the effects are too menial to be worth managing. The Witcher 3 does this right, granting meaningful benefits from potions and oils with deadly consequences. Witchers have the ability to consume toxic potions that would kill most normal people, letting them gain insanely strong effects like slowing down time or healing their wounds in seconds. Those who love this mechanic can double down on it with the Alchemy tree in The Witcher 3, allowing for a range of bonuses that can enable certain builds....

Those who have played the Hearts of Stone expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt might be familiar with the horrid beast lurking in Oxenfurt’s sewers.

Upon visiting, he was offered the hand of Iris, the woman who would be Olgierd von Everec’s wife. However, Olgierd was enraged by this and cursed Prince Sirvat, turning him into a gigantic, hideous toad-like monstrosity....

Among the many small pleasures of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is its museum. Whereas in past Animal Crossing games, Blathers’ museum has appeared on the tackier side, New Horizons started with a template established in New Leaf and overhauled it into one of the game’s more magical locations.

Any Master Chief fan worth their salt knows about the iconic Halo 3 Rat meme, so it’s no wonder that somebody has finally taken rats in Halo 3 to the next level. Yesterday, one particularly ambitious modder decided it was high time they unveiled their latest project: Halo 3 Rat Slayer. It’s a bit awry at first - it actually looks like there’s nobody playing. However, you’ll quickly notice that what originally looked like a Brute Spiker on the floor is actually not a gun - it’s a little Halo 3 rat, legging it around Snowbound with an invisible Plasma Rifle....

This Titans review contains spoilers. Titans Episode 5 It’s hard to get a handle on Titans because of its offbeat approach. On the one hand, the DC Universe series clearly aspires to the kind of serious, “adult” storytelling that Marvel’s Netflix shows have become known for. But while those shows are notoriously bashful about embracing the colorful superhero elements of their comic book world, Titans is full-steam ahead, giving you all of the weirdness of the DC Universe in undiluted form with no apologies whatsoever, complete with story pacing that often feels more like the instalments of a monthly comic book rather than traditional hour long TV drama formulas....

The charming Tom Holland can be a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to revealing spoilers. While these impromptu reveals are met with good humor, the actor will be free of contractual obligations once Spider-Man: No Way Home releases at the end of this year - and who knows what a free rein Tom Holland looks like. Holland joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2016, when his younger rendition of the web-slinging Peter Parker swung into Captain America: Civil War....
