Call of Duty: Warzone has recently decided to replace the normal Quads mode with Realism Battle Royale, which also includes teams of four. Realism mode changes the entire game of Warzone. Increasing headshot damage and limiting the HUD. This is extremely similar to the Hardcore modes that have been presented in multiplayer. Players will also only be able to see teammates if they open their map. Quads has been the most popular game mode since launch....

Gamers can be fickle. For the most part, it’s very important to members of the gaming community that certain objects are rendered in just the right way. Fail to deliver any of those minimum requirements and developers risk running into fiascos like Spider-Man’s new PuddleGate situation. But what happens when developers intentionally limit a game’s visuals so that performance is equal between two platforms, which may be the case with The Division if a new report is to be believed....

The official reveal of MultiVersus (the previously rumored fighting game starring various Warner Bros. characters) has already been met with excitement, confusion, and a lot of feelings about the fact that this game seems to be embracing the idea that Shaggy from Scooby-Doo is basically a Dragon Ball character.

Ready At Dawn’s last foray into triple-A gaming, The Order: 1886, wasn’t exactly a striking success.

The information that Ready At Dawn is working on its next AAA game comes from the studio’s own job listings....

It’s hard to imagine a year without any superhero films coming out. Even 2020, with all of its issues affecting the film industry, saw two movies within the genre come out: Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984, which saw an unprecedented release in both theaters and on HBO Max. The overabundance of movies featuring superpowered individuals constantly saving the world has become something of a source for parody. However, The Simpsons was making fun of the entire superhero genre well before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a thought in Kevin Feige’s head....

The Sopranos’ genius was in telling structured stories with well-established themes, while still aping life in all its dirty, disorganised, contradictory, open-ended glory. The show wasn’t a drama, or a comedy, or a tragedy, or a farce. It was all of them. It was none of them. It was life. Creator David Chase and his crack team of writers never lost sight of the essential truth that no matter how cruel, harrowing or horrid life becomes, it’s always laced through with laughs: oftentimes the laughter and the horror rise in tandem....

Many cosplayers have been able to make their own activities at home, mostly through social media outlets....
