Do you love Mass Effect? How about League of Legends and Arcane? Well, fans of both of these hit franchises are surely going to love this amazing fan-made video that was recently posted. Created by Youtuber ZeoNyph, the video below is an amazing take at what it would look like if the characters from the Mass Effect series got their very own Arcane-style intro. The sculpted, clay-styled rendition of characters like Fem-Shep, Wrex, and others combined with the imposing imagery of Geth and Saren makes for one hell of an amazing cinematic, especially when overlayed with Imagine Dragon’s Enemy overtop of it....

It was the perfect goodbye. Backing away in his college-bound car, Andy Davis looks back one last time—he looks back at a porch, he looks back at his childhood, and he looks back at Woody, the toy that will forever color his memories of growing up. Then Andy says thank you before moving on, bequeathing these plastic friends to a little girl named Bonnie. This was the closing curtain of Toy Story 3, and it is also the challenge that Toy Story 4 has spent the better part of a decade preparing to clear....

Twitch unfortunately has a less-than-stellar reputation when it comes to ban consistency, and it even appears that the platform has doubled its efforts in this regard in recent weeks.

Twitch streamer and artist Saruei uses the platform to design video-game related art, albeit in an adult manner, and recently received a 3-day ban tied to an inappropriate drawing....

Twitch streamer Intraventus claims she was the victim of targeted harassment following a ban by the streaming platform.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only satisfying turn-based squad battling let down just a touch by a sluggish resource-gathering midgame. It feels blasphemous to call a Warhammer 40k adaptation slick, let alone subtle. This is the universe of endless grot, rancid liturgy and heavy-duty cybernetics, its warriors held together by rivets and fanaticism, its starships ancient Gothic ironclads recovered from asteroid fields. You don’t expect a delicate handling of inspirations or considerate presentation from such a setting: you expect clashing cogs and excessive crenelations and hint windows that read like catechisms....

Will we be seeing the Grinch go toe-to-toe with the likes of Cloud Strife and the Duck Hunt dog?...
