The inescapable sights and sounds of The Twilight Zone are cherished and tightly protected intellectual property. Some 60 years after Rod Serling took us into the fifth dimension, CBS is rightfully selective about who is granted licence to a crown jewel of sci-fi and fantasy storytelling. We’ll soon find out if Jordan Peele is a worthy steward on the television side with his CBS All-Access reboot (if Get Out and the early reactions to his horror follow-up Us are any indication, the franchise is in the safest of hands)....

A film within a film, The Vast of Night is framed as an episode of fictional Twilight Zone-esque show Paradox Theater, with occasional camera pull-backs where we see the action in black and white on a small TV. Far from being distancing, it’s a smart device that contextualizes what you’re seeing: a B-movie story with whip-smart dialogue that looks and sounds like elevated arthouse, shot on a shoestring budget. It’s both pure fun sci-fi entertainment and a confident, highly cine-literate debut from director Andrew Patterson who’s absolutely one to watch....

It has reported that Judge John P. Chupp called a hearing in Tarrant County District Court, ordering Vic Mignogna’s attorneys Ty Beard and An Lee Hsu to mediate an agreement with Funimation, Monica Rial, and Ron Toye’s attorneys Sean Lemoine, Ethan Minshull, Casey S. Erick, Andrea Perez, and John Volney by October 3. Failure to come to an agreement will result in Chupp ruling on the remaining charges on October 4....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 8 The Walking Dead season 9 midseason finale had one of the creepiest set pieces the show’s ever done. Throughout the episode, it’s been established that the herd chasing Daryl, Eugene, Aaron, and Jesus is something different. It starts out simple, with some creepy aimless wandering in a field. It gets creepier from there. The herd grows, but more than that, it chases....

Here, tier S represents the best characters and heroes from the game....

Hades is, without a doubt, the best roguelite game to have been released in recent years. The base game itself came with tens of hours of content, and while fans (myself included) have been secretly hoping for more content updates and DLC releases, it seemed unlikely that Supergiant Games would do anything like that… until now. At The Game Awards, Supergiant Games announced Hades II, a sequel to the beloved roguelite, featuring a new protagonist, new colorful characters, and more of that same crunchy combat....

Strange things happen in the town of Mercer, Ohio, but the sense of wonder is quite subdued among the residents, many of whom work at the Center for Experimental Physics. The particle accelerator in the underground facility unlocks the secrets of the universe, but it also causes fantastical anomalies in the surface world. However, Tales from the Loop isn’t strictly about the weird happenings themselves; rather, the show explores the emotional impact that results from a slight shift in reality as we know it, and although the slow pace may not be for everyone, the anthology aspect of the series ensures that each episode will have its own dramatic appeal....

The rush to claim the powerful new Nvidia RTX 30 Series GPUs has been hectic news, no doubt. However, now that the cards have begun to reach the hands of consumers, stability issues with the new tech have become apparent. Users have reported crash to desktop (CTD) cases among more bizarre issues like white lines appearing on screens while the cards are under load. While not all of the cards are experiencing issues, it seems like more than enough have been reported....

Let’s cut to the chase: Temtem is coming at a good time. Justified or not, discontent amongst the Pokémon fandom is at an unmistakable high. The formerly unshakable golden formula could be on the verge of losing its brilliant shine. As such, with the promise of a new twist on the beloved creature-collection genre, Temtem may very well be exactly what gamers are asking for. New combat systems, in-depth breeding, multiplayer, shared world, housing, guilds — this game’s got it all....

When we think about the Pokémon TCG, it’s often about tearing open a booster pack in search of something shiny. When the game was first released, everyone was searching for a holo-rare Charizard. Now, there are ultra rares, hyper rares, secret rares and with the release of the Sword & Shield expansion, the new Gigantamax cards. While these are amazing to have, seasoned TCG players know it takes more than just rare cards to make a great deck....

Of all the home consoles Nintendo has ever released, the Wii U is probably the one they’d like to remember the least. © Barone Firenze/Shutterstock.com Part of the eighth generation of gaming, the Wii U competed against the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As Nintendo’s first console to offer HD graphics (1080p), there were high hopes for the console to build on the Wii’s momentum by offering backward compatibility with Wii games and hardware....

This review contains spoilers. “That’s not how I remember it…” There’s a scene in this episode of The Affair where Noah attempts to give a peace offering to Whitney, only to discover that he’s essentially brought her poison ivy. This thoughtful, yet ultimately unhelpful act, perfectly distils Noah through this episode. He’s trying to help and it’s a flashy performance, but he may actually just be getting under people’s skin. Making amends is typically seen as productive behaviour, but that’s not always the case....

The American physicist designed one of the first video games ever made–the sports video game Tennis for Two.After the initial introduction of the game, it was forgotten until the 1970s when Higinbotham testified in court during lawsuits between Magnavox and Ralph H Baer over video game patents.Ten years prior to Tennis for Two, Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr., and Estle R Mann patented the “Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device,” making this the earliest documented video game predecessor....

Surprise! Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting one more faction at launch, the Daemons of Chaos, led by none other than the Daemon Prince himself.

Here’s a trailer....

Jay Garrick was the first Flash of the DC Universe. Debuting (appropriately enough) in the pages of Flash Comics #1 in 1939, he was a founding member of the first superhero team in history with the Justice Society of America, proved so popular he earned a solo book (with the quaintly 1940s title of All-Flash), and ran laps around every other speedster in comics until 1951 when he and most other superheroes not named Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman were quietly put out to pasture in favor of romance, horror, crime, and war titles....
