This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 3 While it may not be a masterpiece, The Simpsons season 32, episode 3, “Now Museum, Now You Don’t” can hang in most galleries. Beyond the humor, the visuals are quite impressive, and varied. This is another story-time episode for The Simpsons, repopulating pages from history with Springfield residents. Lisa is home sick, so delirious she thinks she’s in school....

A bit of challenge is always fun, but, sometimes, using cheats is a necessity. In The Sims 4, cheats are great for playing out the dream-like ideal life players want to have and for story-telling purposes. They bring in a bit of spice and make it simpler to set up stories in a way that doesn’t require mods. However, there’s a ton of cheats in the game, and, while most people will be familiar with the classics, some are more obscure....

The Sims Twitter account seems to be hinting at a new DLC pack to be dropping for The Sims 4. The post indicates that more information will be available about the potential DLC or content pack sometime tomorrow, as it links to a YouTube video which premiers May 6th. So far all that has been shared is a gif of a windmill with the caption “Green Plumbobs? I’m a big fan!...

The UK gaming industry has banded together to give away 85,000 games and game subscriptions to NHS workers for free. Pretty much nobody’s life is the same today as it was two months ago. Whether people are stuck at home, have lost their job, or even lost a loved one, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to affect just about everyone in some way. However, perhaps the most affected by the pandemic are those fighting it on the front lines in hospitals and other medical facilities....

Warner Bros.’ The Witches received criticism from people with disabilities and organizations that support the community over the design of Anne Hathaway’s character. Now the studio has issued an apology for any offense caused by the depiction of people with disabilities in the HBO Max film. Based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, The Witches centers on a young boy who works with his grandmother to thwart the sinister plot of a group of witches led by Hathaway’s the Grand High Witch....

The Halo series has had tons of weapons when battling the Covenant forces, the Flood, and recently the Forerunners. Players have seen weapons come and go; some changed dramatically. Today we are looking through each Halo game and picking out the worst guns to use. However, choosing a bad weapon from Halo 5 would inaccurate. Halo 5’s gun design is different when comparing to other games, and every weapon has high damage....

I’ve been a gamer all my life. From the Sega Genesis I got for Christmas in 1990, to the PlayStation 5 that will be lovingly adorned on the desk next to my gaming PC, “Gamer” is a title I’ve proudly associated myself with since I was 5-years-old. I’ve held other titles throughout my life, including Skater, Athlete, and Musician; I graduated college with a Political Science degree, but certainly never considered myself a Student (sorry, Mom....

Borderlands 3 has been out since late 2019, and a lot can change in the span of a year & some change. Tons of patches/updates have come out, they’ve run tons of mini Loot Events, four DLC Campaigns have released, and a new fourth Skill Tree was added for each character along with the Arms Race mode in the relatively well-received Director’s Cut DLC. Yet, there are still quite a few things players missed in the base game, which is even more applicable now that the game has changed so much....

A lot of games as “what if?” Like No Man’s Sky asks what if we just kept making a game that everyone wrote-off back in 2016? Or how Genshin Impact asks what if Zelda: Breath of the Wild wasn’t about Link saving a princess and more like an MMO? Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator asked more pertinent questions, like what if we pitted a thousand chickens against a single t-rex and had them fight to the death?...

In Bungie’s weekly Destiny 2 blog for April 25, the developer revealed a number of changes coming during this week in the popular online-only first-person shooter. One of the biggest changes includes nerfs to the Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten hand cannons. Another major detail outlined in this blog post is that this week’s Invitation of the Nine quest is broken, but the developers are working on correcting the issue....

Taika Waititi is one of the more unique voices in the business right now. Between reinventing Thor for Marvel in Thor: Ragnarok, skewering the psychology of Nazis in Jojo Rabbit, or crafting one of the funniest vampire movies in years for What We Do in the Shadows, the man seems to walk from project to project hitting bullseye after bullseye. So fans will be happy to hear that Taika is at it again, this time producing Our Flag Means Death, a pirate comedy coming to HBO Max....

With the release of Halo 5: Guardians today, many are ready to take a leap forward into the future of the franchise, where Master Chief’s adventures will continue on the Xbox One. And while the series’ story has been captivating and interesting, it’s Halo’s multiplayer experience that most often brings the best memories to players. In that vein, we’ve compiled a list of the best Halo multiplayer maps in the series’ long history....

The days are getting longer, but the dark January of the soul still might call out for some echoing horror. Take a look at our picks for best horror books in February 2022. Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt Type: NovelPublisher: Tor NightfireRelease date: Feb. 8 Den of Geek says: A mysterious attack and a setting that seems made for the horror of isolation and the wilderness set this novel apart....

While romance carries with it the stigma that comes with anything made for and by women, the genre is alive and well on TV and has been for awhile. There’s just something about the traditionally long-form medium that makes a good home for romance, most especially the kind of will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic that ruled TV sitcoms for decades. That being said, the evolution of TV has brought with it a greater diversity of TV coupledoms, which means we can be a bit pickier about our small screen romance, as well as more critical of the toxic TV couples who have come before....

You can get Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn for free if you have Twitch Prime, along with a bunch of other games in August. Originally released in 2018 as the reboot that nobody asked for, Shaq Fu 2 went from classic fighter to single-player beat ‘em up. But despite being a beat ’em up, Shaq Fu 2 completely lacked co-op modes–a frequent complaint against it, given the fact that every beat ’em up ever made has always had a co-op mode....

Annapurna Interactive, the critically acclaimed publisher behind hit titles such as What Remains of Edith Finch and Outer Wilds, is releasing two new games on Nintendo Switch later this year. The games in question are called Last Stop and Hindsight, both of which were revealed during Nintendo’s indie showcase that aired yesterday. Whilst Last Stop had already been revealed a couple of years ago - and was even recently delayed - Hindsight is a brand new game from developer Joel McDonald which has you experiencing the entirety of a single woman’s life through physical objects....

Ubisoft releases an amusing trailer for Nosulus Rift, special gear that allows South Park: The Fractured But Whole players smell the farts in the game. One of the hot topics in gaming right now is virtual reality. Numerous companies have stepped forward with their own spin on what a virtual reality headset should be, with Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive leading the pack. However, another company has stepped forward with its own vision of virtual reality, but instead of immersing players through the audio and visual experience, it is targeting another of the five senses: smell....

To franchise or not to franchise? While just about all of today’s major publishers stake their success and reputation on the building of brands, the question seems to arise every time a new IP comes along and stands radically apart from the industry’s smorgasbord of sequels. After all when you haven’t even seen a story start, it’s hard to envision it starting anew. As for Ubisoft, however, it might be a question that no one asks the Montreal-based publisher again....

Recently, I played through a decent chunk of Resident Evil Village, and I did not have the best time overall. Considering I didn’t finish it, I can’t speak to the quality of the game, but I can speak to my experience with it. Horror games have always been a struggle for me, as I’m easily terrified and become overwhelmed with anxiety quite quickly. Despite writing about how there are still ways to have fun with Resident Evil Village if you’re a total coward like I am, it required awfully specific conditions for me to enjoy it, and that made playing the game difficult....
