In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands features my favorite Borderlands character-building system so far. The ability to combine multiple classes when building your character not only opens up a greater vareity of viable build possibilities but really encourages you to explore equipment/strategies in this game that you may have otherwise ignored until you decided to roll another character entirely. Having said that, this game’s new character build options also introduce a few complications that you’ll need to consider whenever you’re trying to optimize your character and class....

Titans Season 2 Episode 10 The Dick Grayson self-flagellation tour continues in “Fallen,” a solid bit of storytelling for the Titans season 2’s tenth episode, even if it is also somewhat overwrought. First up, mopey, self-loathing Dick Grayson is a drag, and wears thin. But Brenton Thwaites does a great job at it, and I entirely believe Dick’s destructive “Hero No More” arc. He doesn’t just want to pay for his sins against Jericho, and the Titans, he wants to die—but it has to be by someone else’s hands....

Titans Season 2 Episode 2 Picking up three months after “Trigon,” the second episode of Titans Season 2, “Rose,” is a tight story that sets up new mysteries, and introduces fresh threats – making it feel more like a premiere than last week’s installment. Straightaway, it’s worth mentioning how the action has benefited by jumping forward a few months. The team is in training, and while there remains tension, cohesion is setting in....

Of course, a lot has changed since the ‘90s. Konami, the company that made most of those TMNT games, has burned bridges, salted the earth, and has decided to choose record profits and Pachinko machines over making actual video games. TMNT remains strangely popular, but the franchise is obviously a different beast these days and perhaps not the pop culture powerhouse it once was. Even the beat-em-up genre (which was so firmly rooted in the arcades) is often relegated to the occasional retro release or re-release that often reminds us of how simple those games really were....

For a world dominated so long by database suits like Oracle and SQL Server, there seems to be an endless flurry of solutions now. One part of the reason is innovation fueled by Open Source — really talented developers wanting to scratch an itch and creating something that they can revel in. The other part is the emergence of new business models, wherein businesses maintain a community version of their product to gain mind share and traction while also providing a commercial, add-on offering....

Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson Type: Novel Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry BooksRelease date: Oct. 5 Den of Geek says: The author’s Venom comp hooked me on this one. Set in an alternate world with Catholic trappings, the central relationship satisfies for folks who want less romance and more monsters in their stories of girls coming of age. Publisher’s summary: The dead of Loraille do not rest. When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint’s relic....

It all started, as many things do, with a simple Tweet. Twitter user @AlexVsPop came up with a fun way to integrate Deadpool and the X-Men into the MCU now that those characters have come together under the Disney umbrella, and the post was soon doing numbers. “The X-Men should be introduced to the MCU through Deadpool on a laptop clicking and dragging the X-Men from a folder labeled “20th Century Fox” to a folder labeled “Marvel Studios”, and then we just act as if they’ve been there all along without any explanation or backstory,” he wrote on the social media platform this past weekend....

Vikings Season 5 Episode 17 “I killed one of my sons to save the other. May God forgive me.” Like most multi-arc serial dramas Vikings generally makes a point of thematically tying together each of its story lines, and “The Most Terrible Thing” shows creator/showrunner Michael Hirst at the top of his game as he seamlessly connects the dynamic events stretching from Iceland to Kattegat. There’s still no word of Lagertha’s fate, but recent ground shaking developments keep the narrative fresh and interest level high as the power shifts continue to evolve....

Walker Episode 6 Walker’s “Bar None” gives us way too much teenage drama when the focus should be on Emily’s death and those behind it. Seriously, Stella is gearing to win the most self centered award on this show. Who thinks that inviting a boy the family doesn’t know is a good idea during the family camping trip for a dead parent? Stella, that’s who. Stella’s annoyance at her grandmother’s hesitation was in itself annoying....

We’re officially four episodes into WandaVision, and the situation in Westview is starting to heat up. But with more than half of the remaining season left yet to air (the first season consists of a planned nine episodes), there’s still so much more we don’t know. Although the first three episodes were firmly ensconced in the sitcom-esque small-town reality that Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) find themselves in, with only the occasional blip to indicate that something strange is going on, episode 4, titled “We Interrupt This Program,” finally pans out to reveal the true circumstances of the situation....

Mind. Blown. Zut alors! How is this possible?! Such was Catherine’s reaction to realising that the Invaders had travelled to Earth not through space, but through time. It was a total revelation for the physicist – proof of concepts previously held only in theory. For Dr Durand, it changed everything. Catherine’s amazement was enviable, because for us, it changed nothing. Ever since Emily’s tattoo was spotted on the arm of that dying alien in the season one finale, it’s been taken as read that the Invaders were time travellers (time travel being a much less rare phenomenon to encounter for sci-fi TV fans than it is for French astrophysicists)....

So what’s the problem? Well, as is usually the case, the issues are varied. At this moment, though, most of the complaints regarding Cold War‘s release involve content and technical shortcomings. For instance, some fans feel that the game’s campaign (which reports suggest can easily be beaten in a couple of hours) is bare-bones even by modern franchise standards. Others have suggested that Cold War‘s multiplayer maps are lacking in both quality and quantity....

In a recent interview with Collider, Morgan discusses how the show’s sudden cancellation took the cast by surprise (which we already knew), and reveals how it even shocked the creative team, specifically chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and showrunner Angela Kang. The actor’s Negan-esque candor essentially flips the previously presumed natural death narrative implied in AMC’s September 2020 announcement of The Walking Dead’s end after eleven seasons. It’s a surprising revelation, since the announced endpoint perfectly aligns with where the show is in regards to the source material, adapting the comic’s final storyline, which focuses on our survivors’ struggles with the overwhelmingly powerful de facto post-apocalyptic nation state known as the Commonwealth....

There’s “writing yourself into a corner” and then there’s “writing yourself into a scenario where all your characters enter into a mystical robot heaven corner.” Should it have received a fifth and final season, that was the situation that HBO’s Westworld would have had to stare down. Of course, now we know it won’t have the chance. HBO announced today that it had canceled its sci-fi blockbuster after four seasons, releasing a statement that read: “Over the past four seasons, Lisa (Joy) and Jonah (Nolan) have taken viewers on a mind-bending odyssey, raising the bar at every step....

There’s a whole lot going on at the end of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. For fans of Zack Snyder who were always on board with his unique vision for the DC Universe, the movie is a four hour feast, a celebration, and a vindication…but it ends with a tease for a Justice League 2 that promises to be even more intense and weighty than the director’s existing DCEU trilogy that began with Man of Steel....

What do you do to keep your WordPress-powered website safe and operational at all times? Let’s say you update your WordPress core and plugins/themes regularly, install only trusted plugins and themes. That’s undoubtedly good, but the question is, is it enough? You might have implemented security practices to secure your site, but your website data could still be vulnerable. The risk of hackers stealing business data or an innocent coding mistake bringing down your site will always be rampant....

Years later, though, I started to hear people question not only how this method became so popular in the first place but whether or not it ever actually worked. At first, the idea that someone would doubt the effectiveness of blowing air into an NES cartridge seemed absurd. If it didn’t work, then why did I remember so many times when blowing a little air into the cartridge fixed whatever the problem was?...

With the MCU continuing to dominate cinemas, much talk has been directed at producer Kevin Feige and his ability to maintain a popular franchise of 14 years. But before Feige, there was Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, producer of the James Bond franchise. Since the first Bond feature film, Dr. No, released in 1962, the Broccoli family has remained at the helm, ensuring that the beloved secret agent remains his essential self, even as he keeps up with the changing times....

When Frances finds Greta’s lost purse on the subway, she dutifully returns it to the woman at her Brooklyn apartment and they strike up a friendship. But the more Frances finds out about Greta, the less she wants to be around her — a state of affairs that the increasingly unstable Greta will go to any length to change. Greta is directed by Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan, something of a legend himself for his restless, inquisitive, genre-jumping movies....

John Magaro, who will be playing young Silvio Dante in the upcoming The Sopranos prequel, The Many Saints of Newark, plays young Meyer Lansky. Writer-director Eytan Rockaway’s crime drama is loosely based on the real-life story his father, Robert A. Rockaway, and the interviews he conducted before Lanksy died. His book was called But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters, and it included noteworthy figures like Waxey Gordon, Arthur “Dutch Schultz” Flegenheimer, Jack “Greasy Thumb” Guzlik and the Purple Gang out of Detroit....
