Quick Links Your visit inThe Witcher 3leaves no doubt that Velen is made of tragedy more than anything else. Wherever you turn, there is some small sign that the people trapped in the region have had their lives ruined by monsters, war, bandits, or some combination of the three.

If you asked me to guess at the Venn diagram of people who like silentfilmsand people who like video games, I would probably draw two entirely separate circles. But, as I’ve gotten into silent films over the past few months, I’ve realized that the medium that rose to prominence in the first 20 years of the 20th century has a lot in common with the medium that rose to prominence in its last 20 years....

The internet is a strange place. You probably already knew that. One of the most surprising trends that has hit whatever the internet’s equivalent of airwaves are recently has been The Good Doctor. The show details the struggles of an autistic doctor, although if the clips being shared onTwitterare anything to go by, it’s a highly cartoonish interpretation of autism. Though it enjoys several millions of viewers, most of these are terminally offline soccer moms and televisions playing to nobody in retirement homes, so few people had heard of it, and even those who had thought nothing of it....

Since the success of theSuper Mario Bros movie, fans have been wondering what other beloved Nintendo series could have their own film.

Pokemon Sleep is a weird game. After such a long wait, it’s finally here and all I have to say about it is, yep, it’s definitely here. It measures your sleep and gamifies your health, but I’m not entirely sure it’s actually a game. I have a lot of questions about what the game is doing with my sleep data, whyPokemon Goneeds that data if it’s connected, and what the point of it all is, but I risk getting too philosophical for this lighthearted opinion feature....

Skullgirlslaunched over a decade ago and during its lifetime it has built a huge audience of fans thanks to its creative character designs, liberal fan service, and sharp combat mechanics. It’s a great game, and has maintained a niche in the fighting genre for very good reason. But like all modern media, there are parts of it bound to shift and change over time. At the end of last month,Reverge Labs surprised fans with a statementconfirming it would berevising or removing certain visual elements of the game it felt didn’t fall in line with modern sensibilities....

You collect a lot of rubbish in this line of work. Since I started writing about video games as a side gig back in college, my parent’s house and the various apartments I’ve moved through over the years have been steadily filled up with press kits, console boxes, and other bits of packaging that I just don’t have enough room for. But I hold onto them for no good reason.Giant cardboard demons for my various consoles and similar products awkwardly dotted between shelves and cupboards, or thrown under my bed....

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was announced during last week’s Nintendo Direct, and fans were immediately taken by the new and vastly improved art style. The stale and uninspired aesthetic of the New Mario generation, whichour own Stacey Henley wrotehad “no soul, no personality” has been replaced by something that feels fresh, playful, and imaginative. There’s nothing quite like Wonder, which features an expressive Mario in a trippy, malleable world. Super Mario Bros....

I’m not ashamed to say I likeSpider-Man 3. The final entry in Sam Raimi’s trilogy is a corny mess that turns Peter Parker into a two-dimensional edgelord with far too many villains and subplots, but I can’t get enough of it. A huge part of that is because of the cringe that comes with Peter’s dark angst. Bonding with the symbiote doesn’t make him ‘evil’ or push him toward anti-hero status, it makes him a fedora-tipping asshole who acts like he can take on the world....
