Quentin Tarantino’s The Movie Critic Was a Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood ‘Sequel or Prequel’

Reports are beginning to surface that an open-world Donkey Kong video game was once planned for the Nintendo Switch, but the project was scrapped. A new hour-long video claims that the Donkey Kong game would have been headed up by then-Activision subsidiary Vicarious Visions, now known as Blizzard Albany.

is set directly after the events of as its sequel, but aside from that, its position on the larger timeline for the franchise is unclear. Of course, this isn't unusual when it comes to games, considering how convoluted even the official timeline is, especially since it splits into three branches. But there are some events included in that raise questions about how they might affect the events of other games.

Wizards of the Coast, publishers of Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, has released a new FAQ addressing the use of generative AI in both franchises. As a controversial technology, it is an area that fans have been inquiring about. Generative AI has already been at the heart of controversy for Wizards, like when the company replaced AI-generated artwork in Bigby Presents: Glory of Giants for future printings after it was discovered AI artwork had been used.

Rise of the Ronin may be a little shy over a month out from its release on PlayStation 5, but that isn’t stopping the action RPG's sales from outpacing its spiritual predecessors, Nioh and Nioh 2.

Simultaneously a stunt-filled action comedy and a return to big-budget romantic comedies, led by two irrepressibly charming actors (Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt), this week’s The Fall Guyis the kind of date-movie summer blockbuster that felt a lot more common just a decade or two ago. The movie follows a stunt man (Gosling) who’s coaxed out of retirement to work on the directorial debut of his ex-girlfriend (Blunt), then gets pulled into a conspiracy that threatens to shut the movie down.

Watched «Indiana Jones and the Dial.of Destiny» again. It's going to be one of those movies that I'm constantly re-writing in my head whenever I rewatch it — there are so many minor (and a couple of major) gripes that I have with it that surely would've been ironed out with another couple of passes at the screenplay — it's just weirdly sloppy given its position in such a lauded franchise.

It’s been five years since Game of Thrones ended and a good while since we had a decent video game based on George RR Martin’s fantasy writings that aren’t Elden Ring lore. Yet it seems that Game of Thrones’ cultural cachet still has enough draw to inspire new games of its own. And not just an arguably underrated-if-also-not-particularly-great action-adventure RPG or fairly okay Telltale adventure game, either, but a whole honest-to-goodness Game of Thrones MMO currently in development, according to new rumours.

@LN78 I’d rather sit through an extra 2 hours than ever see Gal Gadot attempt humour again. Or that scene with Flash falling on top of Wonder Woman. And that random Russian family for some reason? I dunno, that original cut is just so offensively terrible that anything is better, even 4 hours.

now has an iconic ship from the prequel trilogy, thanks to a mod. Considering Bethesda's space RPG lets players explore several star systems and planets in a variety of ships, it should come as no surprise that there's been no shortage of mods incorporating elements of other fan-favorite sci-fi franchises.

There are many reasons to look forward to Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, Atlus’s enhanced version of its acclaimed 2021 RPG. However, one of the biggest wildcards is perhaps Yoko Hiromine. The new character isn’t just essential to the story – she’s also controllable during combat.

@LN78 Right, the 8 hour runtime tracks with the miniseries I have access to, so probably the same Been on my watchlist for a while but I kind of forgot about it. Highly topical these days, so may pull the trigger on it this weekend. Thanks for reminding me
