It’s no secret that Ubisoft has been trying to gain a foothold in the crypto and NFT space. While the reception to Quartz, their new blockchain gaming platform, hasn’t been the greatest, that certainly hasn’t stopped Ubisoft from trying. The company has just announced its partnership with The Sandbox, an open Metaverse where players can gather with virtual avatars and interact in a virtual space to buy up land and hang out....

My childhood home is up for sale, so I spent the weekend excavating boyhood treasures and yeeting them into a skip. Most of them, I’m sorry to say, were junk. There were some pogs, a few faded soft toys, stacks of dog-eared Sonic the Comic back-issues, more than one funfax, but little held much beyond sentimental value. It was a sombre bit of personal archaeology, all told, but there was a silver lining....

Ubisoft announced their own subscription service at their E3 press conference, dubbed Uplay+. Available for PC this year on September 3 and on Stadia in 2020, the service offers full access to Ubisoft’s PC game library for $14.99 per month.

Additionally, Uplay+ includes the premium editions of Ubisoft’s games with DLC and expansions....

Rome was a terribly advanced but also just deeply terrible empire. It fell. But what if it had fallen because the gods grew extremely disappointed with the stuff it did and stepped down to the mortal world to kick it to pieces? Then we’d all be living in something akin to the world of Vagrus – The Riven Realms. The continent of Xeryn was ruled by the Empire – a generic name for fantasy super Rome....

It should be obvious at this point that I’m a huge Simon Barry fanboy, and now that I’ve had the opportunity to experience showrunner Neil LaBute’s work as well, he’s certainly been added to my “keep an eye on” list of creative minds. That said, there’s something about the crafting of tonight’s Van Helsing episode that elevates it to a level few shows ever achieve with a story arc that seemingly reinvents itself each week....

When Salt and Sanctuary released back in 2016, I considered it the perfect blend of Dark Souls‘ action and themes combined with 2D Metroidvania goodness. We won’t see a sequel from Ska Studios yet, although there’s an offering from developer Glass Heart Games and publisher Another Indie that comes close to scratching that itch. It’s none other than Vigil: The Longest Night. Inspired heavily by Salt and Sanctuary, Vigil: The Longest Night also aims to bring that memorable hybrid of two popular subgenres....

A leaked Walmart ad is circulating the internet, and it features holiday prices for the Switch Lite and PS4 Pro. The Black Friday ad lists the PS4 Pro at $299, which is $100 less than its current sale price. The Switch Lite is also running with a $50 discount for $149. The ad also states that items are only available, “while supplies last.” If the rumors are true, supplies probably won’t last very long....

War of the Worlds, the template-setting 1898 alien invasion sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells, has certainly seen its share of adaptations over its century-plus existence; a multi-medium collection that will soon add a promising miniseries by the BBC. However, Urban Myth Films is prepping its own television take on the classic story of extraterrestrial conflagration. Moreover, the series has procured a pair of prestigious stars for its effort. Urban Myth’s adaptation will be written and created by Howard Overman, a scribe who’s tackled his share of genre shows, currently on Hulu’s Future Man, which he co-created, with work banked on Crazyhead, Atlantis, Misfits, Merlin and the BBC’s 2010-2012 Dirk Gently series....

This article contains Watchmen spoilers. Well, it took them long enough, but it looks like the mystery of Lube Man has finally been solved. Yes, the show that gave us an enormous high tech Dr. Manhattan dildo also introduced us to a mysterious costumed figure that was promptly dubbed “Lube Man” because of his penchant for dousing himself in oil and sliding into confined spaces. Ol’ Lube Man only had about 90 seconds of total screen time on Watchmen (back in episode 4) but he sure set the internet’s imaginations ablaze....

What Does Facebook Forced Invite Mean? A Facebook forced invite occurs when a user attempts to install a Facebook application and is prompted to send the invite to all his or her Facebook friends in order to complete the installation. In 2008, Facebook updated its Facebook Platform Policy, and now requires that application developers provide Facebook users with the option of whether to invite friends to the application. As such, forced invites no longer occur on Facebook....

Please note that this article will have spoilers for The Witcher up to Season 1 Episode 2: Four Marks. The first episode of The Witcher Netflix series did a decent enough job of introducing viewers to the fantastical world of the “Continent,” particularly when it came to developing the character of Geralt of Rivia and making clear his motivations. The other running story thread throughout The Witcher Episode 1 was all about Princess Cirilla and the fall of Cintra, and that stuff didn’t land quite as well....
