We Happy Few, that retrofuturistic survival game that I swear has been in early access literally forever and yet still isn’t out, has been refused classification in Australia (which at least means it must be close to a full release, although, y’know, not in Australia). Compulsion Games address the Australian Classification Board’s decision in a blog post, saying that they share the Australian fans’ frustration, and ‘If the government maintains its stance, we will make sure that you can get a refund, and we will work directly with affected Kickstarter backers to figure something out,’ — though the dev has asked for some time as it repeals the decision....

On this past Wednesday, the websites for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Eidos Interactive were both defaced by a group claiming to be part of Anonymous. With the conspiracy themes that drive Deus Ex, one could have mistakenly believed that a viral marketing campaign may have been afoot....

It’s every developer’s worst nightmare. After working tirelessly for years, a beta version of their game or confidential information leaks online before they’re ready to release it. Like a celebrity iCloud nude, leaked information about high-profile titles spreads across the internet like wildfire. It’s more than an invasion of privacy — it’s a blemish to their name and often a blow to their brand. Once a pirated game or information about a new release finds its way online, it may seem like a developer has lost control over their project....

What Does Flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diode (FOLED) Mean?

While there is plenty that Netflix’s The Witcher series does well, such as the stellar bard music and epic action scenes, one thing it doesn’t convey so well is exactly when the three storylines that the show follows are taking place. Granted, this unclear timeline is likely by design, to reward perceptive viewers, especially on subsequent binge sessions trying to scrawl out a clear order of events. One group of dedicated fans have gone ahead and done just that, documenting the likely dates of events through dialogue clues and the aging of characters throughout The Witcher’s eight episodes....

Tom Hanks certainly has a unique perspective about the ongoing scourge of COVID-19, seeing as he and wife Rita Wilson contracted the disease back in March; an occurrence that made him the highest profile early case for what would rapidly escalate to the pandemic we all know today.

Touhou is a series known for two things: adorable anime girls and hellish danmaku gameplay. Anybody who frequented anime forums in the late aughts is likely familiar with the memetic difficulty of ZUN’s cult-favorite franchise. Although Touhou Azure Reflections, a fan-made spinoff game by souvenir circ., makes admirable attempts to keep the series’ difficulty and brilliant design alive, it never quite lands what makes the core games so special. Players are put in the role of series protagonist, Reimu, who discovers that a mysterious mist has begun to cover Gensokyo....
