Two things have become clear since Marathon launched at the beginning of March. The first is that it’s a very cool game that feels unlike anything else out there. The second is that most players are perfectly happy having nothing to do with it. While Bungie’s extraction shooter garners fanatical hyper-fans who make time to log on whenever possible, the total number of sales looks like it may have fallen well short of what Sony hoped for and what the studio needs to avoid even more layoffs. According to guesswork from data firm Alinea Analytics, at $40 Marathon has sold…

From Captain America: Civil War’s commentary on government oversight to the racial justice messages in The Black Panther, Marvel Studios has shown it’s willing to get political. Yet for the most part, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has shied away from any sort of value judgement on the man who has dominated American politics for the past decade. For the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, which debuts today on Disney Plus, that’s finally changed. Showrunner Dario Scardapane puts the man without fear into a fearlessly anti-Trump story, but it comes with a very bizarre, even incomprehensible, twist. In Daredevil: Born…

World of Warcraft has been around for 22 years, and a new music video in collaboration with singer Aurora will have players reliving every memory.The song, titled A Place to Call Home, is accompanied by an animated music video crafted by Paris-based animation studio Brunch in partnership with Blizzard.

Crimson Desert has been out for a few days now, and as positive as its been received by many players, the game suffers from several fundamental issues that anyone who’s played it has called out. Perhaps the loudest one of those has been how the game controls, which is a problem that stems from the complexity of controls themselves, as well as the underlying animations behind many of the actions the player character performs. In the first case, at least, something is being done. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings Developer Pearl Abyss rolled out…

Over the weekend, Epic added skins to Fortnite based on the hit indie co-op climbing game Peak. If you want to use one of these skins in the popular battle royale, you’ll need to pay more than twice what it costs to buy an actual copy of Peak on Steam. Ouch. On March 21, Epic partnered up with Peak developer Aggro Crab to add a series of Peak-themed cosmetic items to Fortnite’s in-game shop. The main focus is a customizable scout skin based on the playable and adorable characters from Peak. To buy the basic Peak Scout skin in Fortnite,…

The best thing to happen to Marvel TV in years is going to happen again. Marvel Studios announced on Monday that its 2026 series Wonder Man is getting a second season.

Series creators Destin Daniel Cretton (director of the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day) and Andrew Guest (Community) are returning for the second…

It’s a very simple calculator that can only do single-digit addition, but it works.次はぽこあポケモンで電卓作った1桁の足し算できる#ぽこあポケモン #ぽこポケ #電卓の日 https://t.co/rQlnRRTdBO pic.twitter.com/7PVPufJmxE — たるの (@Tarnow0530) March 20, 2026 Tarnow0530 went on to show…

Christchurch resident Kim Michael Dozier had been operating an arcade out of his garage for several years. Known as the “Kimzone,” the hyperlocal gaming spot hosted neighbors, family, pinball wizards and even tournaments. It was also home to six figures worth of MDMA, magic mushrooms, cocaine and more. Last year police arrested Dozier after he was found to be dealing drugs out of his gaming room. On top of a prison sentence, the police are now confiscating his pinball collection as well. According to The New Zealand Herald, Dozier’s residence was raided by police last May, with caches of narcotics…
