As you’d expect from Paradox. they are embracing modding in their new 4X strategy Stellaris, and the community is already getting stuck into enhancing the game further.

It seems unfair that a film should be branded by the scandal it played no role in, yet was still left sitting on the shelf for two years as a result. But that is exactly the case with The Current War. Alfonso Gomez-Rejon’s new film about the titanic struggle at the turn of the 20th century over who “owns” the lightbulb, and the varying types of electric currents therein. The movie stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison and Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse, the two men who battled to bring electrical lighting across the United States… and who ensnared the genius of Nikola Tesla (Nicholas Hoult) along the way....
Capcom has released a new trailer for The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles as well as detailing some more of the game’s ‘new’ features in the Nintendo Switch compilation out next month.

While PlayStation Now continues to grow, it seems like Sony doesn’t currently intend to release major new games via the subscription service. “The nature and scale of some of the first-party games that we are making leads us to think that, right now, it’s better to spend energy on making sure that the launch of those games is a massive entertainment event,” says Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan in an interview with GamesIndustry....

The Nutcracker ballet is a longstanding holiday tradition. Originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov to a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky back in 1892, countless theaters and ballet companies around the world mount productions of The Nutcracker every year. So it’s no surprise Disney wanted to get a piece of that public domain action. While the Tchaikovsky music was never apiece with previous animated Disney classics that have become an open mine for unending live-action remakes, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms taps into a similar kind of collective nostalgia with its (very) loose adaptation of E....

Ah, The Simpsons. Is there nothing they haven’t taught us? Before their April 19, 1987 debut appearance on Fox’s The Tracey Ullman Show, the good people at the Oxford Dictionaries couldn’t spell the word cromulent. The Simpsons are an edumacation. Their first skits were consciousness-embiggening minute-long bits. The show taught us that the mind didn’t matter. And The Simpsons, which was spun off as its own series on Dec. 17, 1989, has been turning grey matter into yellow matter custard ever since....

The Witcher is a runaway success video game series and television series. Filled with small nuances that add to its enjoyability, it is one of the most immersive current-gen and games, period. It’s set in a land named The Continent, which is based on fantasy, but works in real-time; more on that later. The Witcher franchise is pervasive in pop culture.
