As with any live service game, plenty of Helldivers 2 players have differing opinions, but no matter what Arrowhead wants to do just one thing: make the best live service game ever. No one really expected Helldivers 2 to blow up as much as it has, including developer Arrowhead. That much was evidenced by the myriad of server issues the game suffered from at launch, as well as some other bugs along the way (and I don't mean the ones you're tasked with killing). So, with a whole load of...
Spreading democracy and having fun while doing so.
Inspired by the (frankly excellent) Fallout TV show, this week on VG247's Best Games Ever podcast I've tasked my colleagues with finding the best game where a family member ditches you. With the prerequisite understanding that none of them are allowed to pick Fallout 3, the quintessential "dad's buggered off" simulator.As it turns out, being forsaken by a family member is a fairly common scenario in video games, especially if you widen the concept of family out to any sort of fraternity or...
There isn’t a show out right now that’s more offensive than Good Times: Black Again — Netflix’s new animated series reboot of the 1970s classic sitcom Good Times — and that’s saying a lot considering Zeus Network is still actively in business and cranking out almost exclusively aggressive and exploitative content, like the reality TV franchise Baddies. After the Good Times reboot trailer dropped, immediate backlash ensued. If the conversation on X (formerly Twitter) was any indication, most...
Sleeveless knits work brilliantly over a sleeved dress or blouse – the conversation between the two pieces is where the magic happensBishop. Puff. Raglan. Leg-o’-mutton. Lantern. Kimono. Bell. It’s a thing, these days, that if you want the world to know that you are wearing Fashion, as opposed to just clothes, you wear a sleeve with an unusual shape and a name to match. The statement sleeve has an origin story in the Zoom dressing lockdown era, but continues to go from strength to strength in...
What are the best video game movies? If there's a kind of movie with a poorer reputation than video game adaptations, we've yet to see it. And rightly, given how many of the worst movies come from games. But, amazingly, some films do manage to break the mold. A select few could even be considered great. Some of the best movies, be they action, horror, or animated movies, come from games and gamers alike. We’ve seen virtual worlds thrive on the silver screen, famous characters and...
Wow, I just took out my favorite singer with a headshot
Endless Drive memes aside, Ryan Gosling is one of the most versatile working actors today. Who else could do both Blade Runner and Barbie? Maybe Tom Hardy, but still. A sketch from Gosling's appearance on SNL back in 2017, Papyrus, is regarded as among the show's best for the central performance and its willingness to ask the hard-hitting questions- like "why the hell is a major blockbuster's logo just a default Microsoft Word font?" — Read the rest
The EarFun Wave Pro are a solid pair of headphones that won't break the bank and are comfortable enough to wear for hours on end.
Would you kick someone even if it meant losing you samples?
The Oakland Athletics snapped a three-game losing streak Monday with a 2-0 win over the New York Yankees. JP Sears turned in another great start and Zack Gelof’s two-run home run in the ninth was the difference. Mason Miller slammed the door in the ninth to pick up his fifth save of the season in electric fashion striking out Anthony Volpe, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. The often injured Miller was moved into a relief role by the A’s for the 2024 season in hopes that he could build innings and...
Imaginative, colorful, and full of variety, one of the best zombie games of
