Not only did the remake outsell the 2002 original’s launch week, but it also bettered 2009’s franchise leader A Crack in Time by a factor of three. Dark Souls 3 drops into second place with sales dropping by a dramatic 80 per cent compared to launch week....

Upload comes from The Office and Parks and Recreation co-creator Greg Daniels and is his first major sitcom effort since the latter (though the next one will come much quicker with Netflix’s Space Force arriving at the end of this month). The show is set in a “middle-topian” near future in which human consciousness can be “uploaded” into digital afterlives. Robbie Amell stars as young app developer Nathan Brown who, after a deadly self-driving car accident, is uploaded into his girlfriend’s family’s plush afterlife neighborhood....
Risk of Rain 2 has recently launched out of early access. The game is now out in the wild as a full-fledged release, and has been improved upon with community feedback.

Gameplay improvements These Risk of Rain 2 mods will provide some tweaks to gameplay that you might find useful....

This article contains major spoilers for Watchmen episode 3 and the book. The worst kept secret in TV is finally out. Watchmen episode 3 reveals what most of the audience knew all along: Jeremy Irons is playing Adrian Veidt, formerly the superhero known as Ozymandias. While there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding Veidt on the HBO series, notably what project he’s working on while he’s toiling away in “captivity” in some unknown location, the official confirmation of his identity means that it’s time for some of the larger Watchmen pieces to start falling into place....

Thus, the flag value directly impacts the processing outcome....
Andrzej Sapkowski, author and creator of The Witcher novels, is as straight-talking as Geralt of Rivia himself. In an entirely honest, incredibly blunt, and frankly amazing io9 interview, he opens up (kind of) about the Netflix adaptation, video games, and not wanting to work. Here are some of the highlights. When novels are adapted for screen, one of the questions authors immediately get asked is what they did and didn’t like about the adaptation....
To say that The Witcher TV show on Netflix has been a staggering success might be an understatement. Netflix has already confirmed that The Witcher was the platform’s second-most popular original TV show of 2019. That’s despite the fact that The Witcher was available for just 10 days before the list was released. And as the saying goes, high waters raise all boats. There’s now ample evidence that The Witcher Netflix show is leading to a huge amount of excitement for the original books, as well....

Another year of geekdom is coming to a close, and boy has 2019 given us a lot to obsess over. But can you correctly answer one question per month of the year about movies, TV and games? If you’ve been wondering that very specific thing, you’ve come to the right place to find out. In the world of movies, 2019 saw two massive sagas coming to a close: Marvel Studios wrapped up its Infinity Gauntlet story with the immense crossover that was Avengers: Endgame, and Lucasfilm just recently released Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker into cinemas to bring the Star Wars sequel trilogy to a close....

Samsung have made great monitors for a while now, but it’s often out of reach for many who have lean budgets and don’t want the extra bells and whistles. The QHD resolution is a perfect balance between 1080p and 4K, which is fully supported by the latest Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles. This is ideal for playing games at high visual quality settings. However, the 144Hz is ideal if you want to dial things back and have your gaming setup give you performance instead....

While Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu may be getting the most credit for breaking the video game movie curse, 2018’s Tomb Raider film also deserves a nod. The movie didn’t exactly hit it out of the park with critics, but it was generally well-received by fans and was successful enough at the box office to warrant a sequel, which will be released in March of 2021. Details on the Tomb Raider sequel film have been scarce since its announcement, but a new report sheds more light on what fans of the franchise can expect....
