Yesterday, Felix Kjellberg AKA PewDiePie found himself in the spotlight again on the topic of racism. He had used the N word multiple times in a stream of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S Battlegrounds. He starts the video by apologizing for the use of the word, stating that he personally finds the language immature when he encounters it online. Many PewDiePie fans have taken to Twitter in response to his apology claiming he’s done nothing wrong, or that an apology is enough to make up for it. Could PewDiePie do

J.J. Abrams directed The Force Awakens in 2015, only to hand the reigns off to other directors for the following sequels. However, it turns out that he’ll be returning to bookend the trilogy by directing and co-writing the final film, the currently unnamed Star Wars: Episode IX. He will co-write it with Chris Terrio, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Bad Robot, Lucasfilm and Abrams himself. Other directors took the helm for The Last Jedi and Rogue One, and Ron Howard is manning the

Liam Neeson has announced his retirement from actions films. While he’s a beloved action star with a cold, harsh demeanor, his opinion is that he’s too old to keep doing them. Neeson, unlike a number of other action stars, started his action roles when he was an older gentleman as opposed to aging through them. Since then, he’s starred in a dozen action movies, even though, as he claims, his turn towards thriller/action movies was “all a pure accident.” His last two action films will be Hard Pow

Shenmue 3 is in development at the moment and fans can’t wait to get their hands on it. According to a store called Alza, Shenmue 1 and 2 will come as a bundle for current consoles. The retailer doesn’t offer too much info about the bundle. However, since this same retailer is also posting a future Bayonetta version coming to PS4 and Xbox One, there might be some credibility to their listing. Shenmue, an open world action adventure game, was released in Japan in 1999 with a released in the rest

Nintendo is known for following their own path and stepping aside from the console wars between Sony and Microsoft. However, Nintendo is embracing a multiplayer aspect of gaming that they haven’t considered before, which is online multiplayer. With it, people have started to demand leaderboards or some kind of ranking system to keep the online competition more vivid. According to a developer who answered questions in a Reddit AMA, Nintendo could be working on this feature. It’s true that the tro

While Destiny 1 was well-received, it was seen by many as a flawed gem with some of Bungie’s game designs. Their power levels are determined by when they were dropped, not the player’s level. A common strategy in the first Destiny was to collect Engrams and not decrypting them until the player had leveled. In Destiny 2, the game automatically determines the best possible loadout and uses it to determine the payout. Have you found any interesting new mechanics changes in Destiny 2?

Destiny 2 has topped the UK physical video games chart in its first week of launch. The previously crowned game, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, was booted to second place for the biggest launch of 2017. Despite this, Destiny 2’s launch week sales are down 58% from the original Destiny. The UK list also does not track digital sales, so the numbers are not entirely accurate, but are likely still representative overall. In other Destiny 2 news, make sure you break those Engram hoarding habits, as Engr

Scalpers already took a hit when it comes to the SNES Classic when eBay decided to delete early listings from scammers, but it looks like the Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aime, is giving them a kick. The SNES Classic has been sold out every time pre-orders go up, but it looks like the console won’t be hard to find when it makes its eventual release. According to Reggie Fils-Aime in an interview with Financial Times (via GameSpot), Nintendo “dramatically increased” production for SN

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is coming soon, riding the wave created by Shadow of Mordor. Shadow of Mordor had players creating their own stories with their own characters with a concept and game design that developer Monolith coined “The Nemesis System”. This system is expanding in the latest installation of the series, making the stories you create even more personal, which is proven in the latest teaser trailer. This video is just a teaser for a full trailer planned for September 18, but we ca

Seven months ago, YouTube’s biggest creator, PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg), fell into hot water with Disney, who cut ties with him after he made an off-color joke about Jews. Later, YouTube cut official partnerships with PewDiePie as well, leaving him with just his personal channel. He openly stated after PewDiePie’s livestream that his company will be filing a DMCA takedown notice on PewDiePie’s videos about Firewatch and Campo Santo’s future titles. To combat Kjellberg’s remarks made earlier thi

But according to James Gunn, we’re going to learn a lot more about them.

It’s a little bit more horrible than what it is in the comics when you come down to it.”In the comics, Rocket’s origin story involves experimentation with the goal of creatin

When ran at 4K resolution and Epic graphic settings, the GTX 1080i can only
