Recovering legendary magic items, negotiating with world-shaking creatures that wield godlike powers, and facing the enormous apparatus of a wizarding empire. The team behind Worlds Beyond Number’s inaugural Dungeons & Dragons actual-play podcast, The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One, have seemingly done it all — and they’ve done it all while playing their characters at level 1. For producer and audio maestro Taylor Moore, it’s at times just a little bit more than he can believe. During the recording of an upcoming episode, Moore said, he literally ran from the sound booth to the door of the playspace during a break in the action.

Many of us like to think we're web-savvy enough to know when something is fishy (or phishy). Kids don’t have that same wealth of experience and web-surfing wisdom that older users have accumulated–and the bad guys know it. They’re willing to take advantage by planting malicious code on sites that your child would otherwise be innocently looking for.

The Bed of Chaos is a piece of shit. Let's not sugarcoat it. Nobody likes fighting this thing and, if you say you do, no you don't. It mixes platforming with wonky hitboxes and a lengthy rush to the fog wall in what is one of Dark Souls' most frustrating segments.

I met the man who would become my husband at about the time that I started venturing more into horror games. I had just discovered that a switch had flipped in my head, and I was now immune to video game scares.

Argylle is an upcoming spy movie from Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn, starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Henry Cavill. It’s out in February and based on a forthcoming novel by debut author Elly Conway. And, oh yeah, a lot of people think that Elly Conway doesn’t exist and is actually the pen name of international pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Early on in Martin Scorsese’s historical drama Killers of the Flower Moon, there’s a quiet moment between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the woman he will eventually marry, Osage heiress Molly (Lily Gladstone). The absorbing way Scorsese stages the drama makes it clear that this relationship will not end well, but the soundtrack is strangely twinkling, as if this were the start of a grand romance. Then the lyrics kicked in:

Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has commented on the rumors of music megastar playing a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel.

The developer of roguelike hit Slay the Spire has explained how it created its first new game in six years in just three weeks.

Considering how hard it was to get tickets to the actual concert, it’s no surprise that Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie is already box office gold.
