For this special anniversary release, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved graphic novel series received an exclusive, full-color makeover. The full-color edition of Scott Pilgrim is discounted to $135 (wa…
Read moreCall of Duty: Warzone has been a pretty rough experience recently, especially with pesky bugs causing various operator skins to go invisible. Developer Raven Software has tweeted awareness of the current issue, but no date is given for when these operation skins will be fixed.
Currently, players are reporting that specific operator skins for Wraith and Weaver from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are now going invisible in Warzone. A bug seems to be causing most of the body to disappear and leaving just a floating operator head when using either the “Disruptor” skin for Wraith or the “Dark Aether” skin for Weaver.

Read moreSeason 3 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone includes a crossover themed around Godzilla and King Kong, which includes free event cosmetics to earn and new shop bundles up for purchase. However, there’s some controversy around a bonus melee weapon for those who purchase all of the Monsterverse bundles.
The B.E.A.S.T. Glove is Kong’s weapon in the latest Monsterverse film. It allows him to unleash energy-powered punches, and this is an exclusive weapon unlock for those who purchase all four Godzilla x Kong bundles. These operator bundles cost 2,400 CoD Points ($20) each, so that’s a whopping $80 worth of points in total to get the glove.
It’s worth noting that the B.E.A.S.T. Glove blueprint is just a special cosmetic bonus that’s designed with the aesthetics and sounds related to the movie version of Kong’s glove. However, the base version of the glove is Season 3’s new Gladiator melee weapon, which is a free unlock in the Season 3 battle p…
Read moreA new report discussing workplace conditions at Rockstar Games also claims that a piece of content for GTA Online was quietly canceled in light of the George Floyd protests.
Earlier today, a report from Bloomberg discussed details of how Rockstar has supposedly changed its workplace culture, as well as touching on some Grand Theft Auto 6 details. The report also spoke of a piece of planned content called Cops ‘n’ Crooks that was meant to come to GTA Online, though according to the report, it was shelved without any fanfare.
Senior executives reportedly felt concerned over how the content might be viewed in general due to generally rising mistrust of American police at the time of the 2020 George Floyd protests. And according to those familiar with its development, there aren’t any plans to bring it back.
The mode was apparently planned to be a twist on the children’s game, organizing players into “good guys” and “bad guys,” w…
Read moreActor Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut in the 2025 film Captain America: Brave New World as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. In a new interview, the legendary actor talked about how actors are “silly” to not at least consider being in a Marvel movie during their career.
“I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it. It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on,” Ford told GQ. “We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that.”
A number of actors and directors have spoken out to criticize Marvel movies or say they want nothing to do with them. Recently, four-time Oscar-nominated actor Saoirse Ronan said thanks but no thanks to Marvel, while Martin Scorsese has made his feelin…
Read moreI’ve been pondering the modern era of Ghostbusters a lot since the faux-Marvel blandness of Frozen Empire failed to make much of an impression when it hit theaters in March. This little sequel duology, which includes 2021’s Afterlife as well, is overly reverential of the original Ghostbusters movie–but this pair of flicks doesn’t give you a movie-watching experience that’s anything like what you’d get from that comedy classic. Like so many franchise revivals and reboots, Frozen Empire and Afterlife are just new things with an old name on them.
What’s funny about that, however, is that there absolutely is a recent Ghostbusters movie that functions as a true modern version of Ghostbusters: Paul Feig’s 2016 remake, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Chris Hemsworth. That movie’s been left in a weird limbo after being caught in the middle of the culture war–misogynists everywhere cried out in agony the moment the movie wa…
Read moreJustice League actor Ray Fisher has criticized WarnerMedia over its tweeted response to the Derek Chauvin verdict. Former Minneapolis policeman Chauvin has been found guilty of murdering George Floyd in May 2020.
WarnerMedia released a tweet soon after the verdict was announced yesterday, April 20. It stated that the studio reaffirmed its “commitment to be part of the solution by using our platforms, content, and resources to advance racial equity and social justice.”
However, Fisher, who has accused WarnerMedia of enabling racist and abusive behavior during the 2017 reshoots of Justice League, called out the studio for its perceived hypocrisy. He retweeted the original tweet, with an emotional response.

Read moreWe already know that Hideo Kojima is working on a new game, but the beloved creator decided to sound off on some rumors that have swirled for years now. On the latest episode of his podcast, Brain Structure, Kojima confirmed that rumors of his involvement with the indie game Abandoned are false, and that he didn’t even understand them at first.
To recap, some fans theorized that the little-known indie project Abandoned was actually a stealth Kojima game, similar to the fake version of Metal Gear Solid 5 that debuted at the Spike VGAs prior to the real rollout. According to these rumors, Blue Box Studios’ Hasan Kahraman was merely Hideo Kojima in disguise, and Abandoned was actually a new Silent Hill entry similar to the infamous cancelled project Silent Hills.

Read moreBefore the month of October, if anyone had predicted that Joker: Folie à Deux would fall from No. 1 after only a single weekend to another killer clown movie then it would have been easy to dismiss. And yet that’s exactly what happened as Terrifier 3 is the new U.S. box-office champion with $18.3 million (via Deadline) in its opening weekend. As for the Joker sequel, it fell to third place behind The Wild Robot’s $13.45 million, which brings the DreamWorks Animation film to $83.7 million to date.
There were warning signs about Folie à Deux’s box office prospects before it opened to a disappointing $37.7 million, which was far behind the $96.2 million that Joker had in its opening weekend in 2019. For its second weekend, Joker: Folie à Deux fell 81% to only $7.055 million. To put this in perspective, that’s the biggest drop for a DC superhero-inspired film. There are only two DC movies that put up worse numbers in their second weekends: Wonder Woman 1984 with $5.4 million in…
