Community fans have been waiting for their “six seasons and a movie” ever since Danny Pudi first shouted those words in a season 2 episode that aired in 2011. At the time, it was a joke at the expense of a short-lived NBC superhero series, The Cape, but when Community came to an end with season 6 in 2015, a final shot promised simply #andamovie.

Filming was supposed to…

We’ve been hearing a lot about AI. AI in our video games. AI in our Super Bowl ads. AI in our murder drones. While it’s taken a back seat to some of the other discourses, we also hear a lot about AI taking our jobs. Even if AI doesn’t seem to be especially sophisticated enough to even displace a fry cook, it hasn’t stopped many corporations from salivating at staff reductions to come. So for once enjoy reversing the new social order. Take AI’s job with a neat new browser game popping off over the weekend. In Mihir Maroju’s your…

The Division 2 is having a mini-renaissance on Steam this weekend thanks to a massive discount and a recent roadmap outlining the game’s future and all of the content still coming to Ubisoft’s seven-year-old loot shooter. An anniversary event has added fresh rewards alongside a new realism mode that ups the stakes and places more emphasis on headshots than gear score, making it feel more like a traditional shooter than an MMORPG.
