So much happens in the ninety-odd minutes of Support the Girls in which Lisa, the manager of a Hooters-like roadside bar played by Regina Hall, tries to maintain her positivity during a tough day, but none of the film’s conflicts fully resolve either, as in life. The wonderfully subtle comedy therefore feels utterly real while managing to pack itself full of satire, presenting the exploitative setting and the characters that inhabit it both authentically and ironically: no easy task for a male screenwriter director like Andrew Bujalski....

Racing games aren’t often mentioned when it comes to the greatest games of all time. Despite their consistent quality, they are often overlooked for more “complex” and mainstream titles, and you’ll certainly never hear the likes of Gran Turismo in the same breath as behemoths like The Legend of Zelda, Halo, Half-Life 2, Metal Gear, or Grand Theft Auto. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth playing. In fact, many of them are fantastic games that deserve far more recognition than they receive from the mainstream....

While Nintendo has dominated the handheld gaming market for years, that doesn’t mean their crusade was beyond competition. Among a few companies, Sony stood out as the runner-up for the biggest market share in the industry. Their foray into handheld gaming began with the PlayStation Portable, otherwise known as the PSP. Unlike the Nintendo DS (the Big N’s rival console at the time), the PSP was focused on more traditional gaming, just in the palm of the consumer’s hand....

Dungeons & Dragons has been around since 1974, when Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created it as an alternative to traditional tabletop wargames. Each player made a fantasy character and then the dungeon master guided them through a story, testing their mettle against monsters and NPCs. Some DMs built their own stories from the ground up, but D&D also has a long history of releasing pre-stories and settings for characters to explore....

Ever since video games first came out, the two main categories that distinguished them, and helped new players find the right game for them, were genres and the split between single-player and multiplayer games. Multiplayer games have been a staple of many different gaming scenes: competitive play, party games for groups of friends, or games where you can play through the story of a game with others just to name a few....

Anime — a word that can elicit a myriad of different reactions from different people. Some might not even know what Anime is, others might be put off at the mere mention of this medium… and then there are people who practically dedicate their lives to keeping up with every new anime season. Titles like Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, or Beyblade often shoulder the blame here, having taken root as after-school rituals and blossoming into a lifelong passion spanning a variety of niches and subgenres....

It’s Friday! Or is it? Time is a social construct, so I could tell you it’s Wednesday today, and how could you prove me wrong? It’s Friday because it’s the fifth day this week, but when did this week start? Can’t prove that either, I’m afraid. Well, the calendar in the bottom right corner of the monitor says it’s Friday. Who told the computer that it’s Friday? Anyone could change that display in the settings....

This review contains spoilers. 12.16 The D&D Vortex As we continue our march to the finish line for The Big Bang Theory (though not for the franchise, with Young Sheldon being renewed for two seasons earlier this week), we’re going to start saying goodbye to some fan-favourite characters. I’m not sure any of us quite remember when and how Wil Wheaton became such an integral part of the show’s supporting cast, but here we are with a fitting send-off (if it is, indeed, the last we see of him) episode....

Wired Productions and Wolf & Wood have announced The Last Worker, a first person narrative adventure set for release on PC and consoles later this year.

With some of the highest-rated games of all time, The Legend of Zelda series has produced many great gaming moments; some of which have defined generations. With all that said, however, these iconic scenes would be a lot less impactful without a strong soundtrack to back them up. That’s where Koji Kondo, one of the greatest composers of the era, comes into play. The series has consistently featured some of the most effective musical scores in the industry, and, with the long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild currently in the works, that all looks set to continue....
