Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back for its fourth season, and its first episode is an absolute diamond. Be warned, spoilers abound ahead.

I spent many hours sitting on the couch playing the Dynasty Warriors series and other Warriors style Koei Tecmo games. Tears of Metal takes that “1 vs 1000” style and adds rogue-like elements and a few other twists to make an addictive action game that isn’t quite like anything I’ve played before.

And yeah, I use TikTok to dissociate from “the horrors” primarily, but the truth is, if you’re interested in cooking, there’s actually some truly educational, entertaining and fun food content for you to find and consume. Here’s our favorite FoodTok creators - and the reasons why we love them.

Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most iconic video game characters ever, and he’s been the star of numerous TV shows, video games, and movie adaptations. Today is the speedy little hedgehog’s 35th birthday, and while he’s gone through many redesigns, his core philosophy of “gotta go fast” has been consistent.

The Steam Deck created a whole new wave of interest in handheld PCs, and I have to wonder if the Steam Machine will start to bring in console players that want access to Steam’s library of games.

I wanted to take my time and savor a game as lovingly put together as Whirllight. The art style and characters, while not always as funny, instantly reminded me of some of the best games in the golden era of point and click adventure, which started with the release of Day of the Tentacle.

While I appreciated how much of the world Alt Shift got right, the experience never felt quite as harrowing as its premise promised. So much of the pressure and drama in Scattered Hopes comes from management systems that feel very sterile, while the combat is the only part that feels tense and decisive in a satisfying way.

There’s something nostalgic about Moomintroll, even if I don’t directly remember it before playing the demo for Winter’s Warmth at the Steam Next Fest. Created by Finnish-Swedish author Tove Jansson in 1945, the Moomin franchise has steadily evolved from beloved children's literature into a multi-generational global empire.

Listen, 7pm is a good time to be at home, in your pj’s, with a pizza and a good show after work (unless you work in an industry where it’s go time). Right now though, we’re in a situation where everyone’s been working since...well, forever ago, and are now entering the second hour of a holiday nightshift. No one’s having fun. Not the patients who did a few bumps and assaulted a nurse, not the guy who blew himself into a garage, not really anyone. And not the doctors of The

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than Earthset? No one has. Via NASA. I’ve got a weird relationship to the moon. I’m not quite Gen-X, not quite full Millenial, so I’ve got a weird relationship with everything, really, but the micro generation known as X-ennials, which is me, has a very unique perspective on things, because of our fluency in an analog then digital world. We get the best of both worlds. I can work a card catalog and I can touch a computer like it’s

Meanwhile, several pirates look on as one of them gets stitched up. Apparently, he got bayonet..ted. Doesn’t seem super bad. Maybe they’re Revolutionary War re-enactors, in fact. I just saw pirates. Either way. Bayonetted.

In 2005, the second live-action attempt at Fantastic Four was released, starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis. It received decidedly mixed reviews and spawned one sequel, the Rise of the Silver Surfer, before being rebooted in 2015 to an abysmal reception, and again in 2025, garnering overwhelmingly positive reviews.

If you are cued (or queued) into the world of entertainment posters, you know how unique and beautiful the work can be. From galleries like Bottleneck Gallery, Mondo, and SpokeArt to direct work with film and TV studios, posters mix the world of creativity and commercial utility. On Friday renown poster artists Tracie Ching and Robert Wilson IV took over S405b for a talk all about the poster industry. I purposefully noted the panel room for this talk because with 10 mins til

What's one person's Sunday bests is not another's though. For example, you might be in a classic floral, and I might be covered in EVA foam and LED lights stomping around as the coolest damn mech you've ever seen. Getting all dressed up means a lot of things to a lot of people, but when the effort is there, you can't deny it.

I’d say I was waiting for the E! Docuseries to air its America’s Next Top Model episodes for me to comment on The Tyra one where Tyra didn’t have anything to do with production see, so it’s totally non-biased. Except, surprise, or not, if you’ve seen the documentary, the part where you think you’re getting some expose about what happened and potentially have the people involved at least fess up to it and try to make some amends has been replaced with Tyra, in a trench coat, s

Project Hail Mary is still going strong at the box office, so it’s no wonder that Andy Weir was in such a great mood during his panel at C2E2. And that room was packed. I’ve never seen a side panel room get filled to the brim, but Mr. Weir attracted a sizable chunk of Sunday’s C2E2 attendees.

We weren't the only ones ready to show out though - there was a ton of great cosplay even for a first day of the convention. We had our roving photographers - Aaron Cynic, Julian Ramirez, and Marielle Bokor - out on the floor to capture all your amazing 'fits - and you didn't disappoint.

Oh my God, there's so much new at C2E2 this year. Hang on to your butts.

Screenshot: Aether & Iron As much as video games have tightened up as safe, corporate products over the years, it’s still awesome to see developers taking chances and swinging for the fences. Aether & Iron wouldn’t be possible if every release came from a rigid corporate structure. It’s an ambitious blend of RPG and visual novel that might occasionally betray its lower production values, but it more than makes up for it with great storytelling and stellar voice acting. There

5 pm. Quittin' time. End of watch. Ohhh noooooo. I'm not ready. Are you ready? I'm just... not ready. But hey, that's what recaps of recaps are for, right? Let's go!
