Dance News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

There are few things on TV that feel as good as meeting a new Doctor and just knowing they’ll be terrific. Doctor Who’s 21st-century run has had plenty of ups and downs thus far, but casting the titular role has never been one of them. Ncuti Gatwa, the Fifteenth Doctor, is no different: immediately charming, charismatic, and odd. In his first full adventure, “The Church on Ruby Road,” Gatwa displays shades of Doctors who’ve come before while putting his own strong stamp on the role; simultaneously welcoming and enigmatic, he’s the kind of person you’d happily follow anywhere but is clearly not telling you everything.

Move over Mean Girls, we have a new Christmas dance in town! A Christmas-themed video recently went viral on the internet and it is a dance-off between a group of girls and a flock of chickens. Dubbed the ‘chicken dance' by netizens, this video is both entertaining and hilarious and people on social media cannot have enough of it. It is being shared across platforms and so far, we have seen it on TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, and even in WhatsApp group chats. So, where did this video come from, who made it, and why is it going so viral? Let us find out.

Between the Hallmark rom-coms, the litany of Peanuts specials, and all those films with a goofy guy who must do something to save Christmas, media becomes inundated with fluff as we enter the holiday season. Sifting through the stew can be difficult when not limited by the confines of television schedules. Before, a somewhat unknown IP would be discovered simply because it was what was on TV.

The newest update for Genshin Impact, version 4.3, has just been released, but that isn’t what has caught players’ attention. Leaks for update version 4.4 have been released, showing a new character that has Western players baffled and getting the memes ready.

It’s 2023 and my miles-long PlayStation 2 backlog is still eyeballing me, but there sure were a lot of good games on PS5 this year worth jumping on — with a few of those available on PS4, too.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has endured a torrid road to launch. In April, the game was delayed to February next year, after its State-of-Play presentation two months prior saw a tepid response from audiences. The more recent Story and Gameplay deep-dive showed greater promise, but since then the Internet has been flooded with leaks revealing important details about the game. 

Blizzard has announced a series of Class changes and adjustments coming to Season of Discovery, adjusting Mage, Paladin, Rogue, and Shaman. These changes will go live beginning on December 19, as weekly maintenance is completed on regional realms.

Drip marketing is here for Version 4.4 of Genshin Impact, introducing a playable version of Cloud Retainer and a brand-new character named Gaming.

Twitch has taken back a rule change it made just two days ago. After seeing what some streamers did with the freedom to stream «artistic depictions of nudity,» the site said it «went too far.»

The first sight of that room in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory with the churning waterfall and a whole meadow full of candy is always pure magic, no matter the version of the story: 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder, 2005’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp, or the newly released Wonka starring Timothée Chalamet.

While browsing my friends list on Bluesky, I came across a post about the “Marriott Bonvoy Land’’ in Fortnite. Curious as to what that would even look like, I went down the rabbit hole, expecting to suffer through a strange nightmare world of inescapable hotel rooms, or maybe knocking through the walls of a luxury suite with a giant sparkly hammer for a sniper rifle and Slurp Juice.

Conan Exiles ’ Age of War season has arrived at its conclusion with Chapter 3 now available across all platforms. This chapter offers several PvE challenges, including the ability to siege a Stygian fortress, and the ability to build and open up your own tavern.

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for November, typically the biggest gaming month of the year, and surprisingly, the results weren’t that great. Players spent $5.9 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in November, a 9 percent year-on-year decrease. This was largely driven by a 24 percent drop in hardware spending, with all consoles being down double digits year-on-year. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by the Xbox Series X/S, with the Switch really dropping off this season. It seems like inflation, and rumors that a new Switch is right around the corner, likely impacted hardware sales this year.

If there's one thing the hot tub meta of 2021 taught us, it's that Twitch's policies around nudity can be incredibly confusing for everyone involved, including Twitch itself. When your massive streaming platform has to issue a public statement assuring fans it's not going to punish anyone for being sexy, you probably have to acknowledge that something has gone wrong somewhere.

Twitch has streamlined its sexual content policy in the wake of increased suggestive streams on the platform.

We’re losing two great entries into the TV memes category this week: First up is The Gilded Age, which has taken over X feeds everywhere — or at least in a lot of places — with goofy memes paying homage to the series’ arch language and high society antics. That show will be wrapping up its second season, with a possible season 3 on the horizon.

Fortnite Festival's music tracks have a surprising second function as they can be taken out of the new mode and used as emotes during Battle Royale matches.

There are multiple mysteries and locations for you to explore in LEGO Fortnite. One of the stranger mysteries is the rift islands you can find floating in your LEGO world and what you’re supposed to do when you find them.

Greetings, Adventurers!

You almost have to feel bad for Fortnite because they try their best to keep bringing in content and skins that will get players excited, and then, somehow, that content always gets leaked before they can unveil it for themselves. Why did we say we “almost” have to feel bad for them? Simple, they still make a crap ton of money and are likely one of the most profitable games of all time! So yeah, they can afford to have a few things leaked; it won’t hurt them that much. Anyway, another leak has come forth on Twitter, and they have shown fans some of the new skins you’ll be able to get within the game.

Rockstar may have pulled a Fortnite dances on a few people, as Florida Joker expresses his disapproval.

CD Projekt Red are tugging at heartstrings again after including a devastating reference to hit anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1.

Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.

George R. R. Martin has seen the first two episodes of House of the Dragon season 2 – and he was absolutely floored.

Epic Games has revealed the full launch lineup for Fortnite Festival and it includes songs from artists like Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar, and, strangely, LMFAO. Quite the spread.

Hanya is one of the characters added with 1.5, along with Argenti and Huohuo. Contrary to the other two, however, she is a 4-star unit. Hanya uses Physical DMG in battle and follows the Path of the Harmony.

Tied up with four points a piece, the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens headed into overtime on Saturday night for five minutes of three-on-three hockey. But in just under a minute of overtime, the Detroit Red Wings’ Jake Walman ended the game with a slapshot and the griddy to celebrate.

Epic has announced a new game to join the Fortnite Family, simply titled Fortnite Festival. But what exactly is this game?

Saltburn has shaped up as one of 2023’s most divisive love-it-or-hate-it movies. Emerald Fennell’s follow-up to her 2020 writer-director debut, Promising Young Woman, is radically different from that movie in look and tone, but her talent for pushing boundaries and demanding a response is still front and center, and Saltburn is the kind of button-pusher that generally either thrills people or makes them angry. Critics have responded both ways: “Superficially smart and deeply stupid,” Mick LaSalle grumps in the San Francisco Chronicle, while Entertainment Weekly’s Maureen Lee Lenker calls it “a triumph of the cinema of excess, in all its orgiastic, unapologetic glory.”

The first teaser for House of the Dragon season 2 has been unveiled at CCXP, and it's truly epic.

In what is either a very blatant marketing strategy or a case of Icarus soaring too close to the sun, the Cult of the Lamb developers at Massive Monster put out a tweet earlier this week saying «we will add sex to the game if we hit 300k followers by the end of the year.»

Fortnite's Chapter 5 Battle Pass has seemingly been leaked on the Xbox Store, revealing that Family Guy's Peter Griffin is finally joining the game after years of rumours alongside Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.

Skill-based matchmaking is a lot like magnets: How do they work? Nobody really knows outside developers themselves, and historically game makers have been reluctant to talk very much about it. But in a statement shared with Charlie Intel, Activision said it's finally going to start offering some real insights into its processes for Call of Duty matchmaking after the launch of Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 in December.

Larian Studios has added the mythical Golden D20 to Baldur’s Gate 3, but how do you unlock it? It involves one of the hardest runs possible, so be ready to master the game if you want the gold.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a captivating image of the Herbig Haro object 797 (HH 797), a luminous region enveloping newborn stars, or protostars. These objects form as stellar winds or jets of gas ejected from protostars generate shockwaves upon colliding with surrounding gas and dust at high speeds. HH 797, prominent in the lower half of the image, is situated near the young open star cluster IC 348, positioned close to the eastern edge of the Perseus dark cloud complex.

We also see matching weapons for the War Within Pre-Order Armor Set, a Scarlet Crusade armor set, and class transmog for Evokers, Hunters, Mage, and Shaman.

I'm not totally yet sold on the idea of “social commerce.” The concept, already big in Asia, takes what was previously the role of the grinning influencer class and scales it out to just about everyone. Buy a product, make a video convincing your friends to buy it, make money, repeat. Icky, I think. The future, analysts say, is a $100 billion market by 2025.

Today, we are looking at the DPS balance on Amirdrassil during the week of November 21st. For this analysis, we will use data provided by Warcraft Logs Raid statistics for Dragonflight Season 3. Heroic Amirdrassil Statistics Page

Turns out what everyone wants from Baldur's Gate 3 DLC is a masquerade ball - and who can blame them?

Nintendo Switch owners rejoice; the deals from the weekend are still going strong as Cyber Monday has brought even more great discounts on some astounding games.

The Race for World First is officially over! Throughout the race, Dratnos & Tettles have provided Daily Recaps of the events of each day — today's video focuses on the end of the race, with Echo emerging as the victors!Looking for livestreams, guilds to watch, and analytics to dive into? Check out the Wowhead RWF Coverage Article for the latest lists of streamers, raid coverage, and boss guides. The Race to World First is finally over, which means it's time for the final RWF Recap Video with Dratnos & Tettles. Yesterday's video was missed due to Echo staying up until past 4am local time in their desperate attempt to kill the boss. Little did they know that neither they nor Liquid both would be unable to kill the boss before going to bed. This decision was prompted, in part, by a nerf which came in at about 9pm local time, which made them think an already killable boss was now in danger of dying in their sleep. That didn't come to pass, as Phase 3's final dance was exponentially more difficult than the start of the phase, leading to several sub 10% wipes by both Liquid and Echo culminating in several exciting hours of progress while both guilds were at 1.7% best pulls. Echo ended up securing the kill first with only milliseconds to spare before the raid would have died to a seed! Dratnos and Tettles agree that this was the best Race to World First so far, and can't wait for the competition to continue in The War Within! We hope you've enjoyed this coverage!

If you find yourself slamming your keyboard in frustration against Giant Eagle, the boss of UTTU Stage 30 in Reverse 1999, know that you’re not alone.

«I thought I knew every type of hurt there was. I didn't know anything, did I?» Jesus, Karlach, I'm sorry, I didn't even get this dialogue in my game and I still feel bad. Baldur's Gate 3 is a big game with tons of world state variations and a veritable smörgåsbord of romanceable companions⁠—it makes sense that there's a lot of different breakup scenes.

We recently learned that The Last of Us Part 2 is on the way for the PS5, and it’ll bring plenty of new content for return players. A new post on the PlayStation Store shows a little more of what we can expect from the remaster.

Sony has revealed a bit more information about The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, and has confirmed that players will be able to play three previously cut ‘Lost Levels’ when the game launches. 

It used to be that the adventures of Captain Olimar and the Pikmin were incredibly niche. The franchise first came out on the Nintendo Gamecube, and while the first two entries on the system made a mark, it had hardly the same impact as games with Mario, Link, or even Samus Aran and Donkey Kong. That’s why when Shigeru Miyamoto and the Pikmin 4 team came together to finally finish the 4th entry, they put everything they could think of into it so everyone would feel a draw to the game. Fast forward to now, and its success has gotten lots of attention from fans and Nintendo.

Over the past few months, since Baldur's Gate 3 released, we've seen all sorts of people make a mockery out of the game's many tough boss fights, whether it be through exploding dead bodies or pockets full of flowers. There's one streamer out there that has set out on a quest to embarrass all of them though, and has been systematically taking down all of Baldur's Gate 3's challenging opponents by themselves in a single turn.

A new beat ’em up is on its way to Android via Netflix Games. Well, beat ’em up might be the wrong term. That would imply you beat anyone up. That doesn’t happen. In the world of Pillow Champ, there are no violent fights, only fun ones.

One dedicated Baldur's Gate 3 streamer has made a habit of solo-killing bosses in just one turn.

Nintendo of America has launched its Black Friday digital games sale.

The Last of Us 2 players think they've already figured out what the "Lost Levels" will be in the upcoming remaster.

There are so many great games out there. Too many, some (us) might argue (looking at our backlog). But games a whole family can enjoy together? Those are far and few, especially as gaming moves more and more online and away from couch experiences.

NASA continues to amaze space enthusiasts with mesmerizing images of our universe from its various crafts in space. There is the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope and then there is even the International Space Station where humans are busy at work conducting their studies. From the Moon to Mars and stars to galaxies, NASA's advanced technologies have made it possible to visualize space in real-time. Now, NASA has shared yet another stunning image. NASA shared a breathtaking snapshot of Earth's airglow on Instagram that was taken from the International Space Station (ISS).

Last week, a job listing for a lead software engineer on Monolith's Wonder Woman game popped up, with requirements like «Knowledge of 3D math commonly used in game development» and «Prior experience working in a 3D game engine (Unreal, Unity, etc.)» Among the non-essential «Nice to Haves» was «Experience helping maintain a live software product or game».

The rise of franchise-first pop culture has made what was previously a genre stumbling block into everyone’s problem: Exposition. Specifically, the stuff we call “lore.” When every big show or movie has to connect to something else, those connections aren’t always graceful. Especially when you need to work in how your villain was in the Amazon with your mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.

Are you a Pokemon fan? There is some very exciting news for you. You can now meet your favorite Pokemon character Pikachu in real life. DLF Malls and the Pokémon Company are collaborating to organize the first-ever Pokemon Mela in Delhi-NCR. This event is scheduled over three weekends in November and December.

If, like me, you love scouring instruction manuals just for the enemy pages, you’ll dig the latest preview for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. 

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will make the original's famed 'date scene' memorable no matter who you hang out with.

This project blew me away the moment I came across it, and the further I went down this rabbit hole, the more astounded I became. Floor796 is an ever-expanding animation scene that has been created by one guy… yup, just one guy. It shows the life of one floor on a huge space station and is absolutely packed with references from varied media forms (including videogames, which we will get to), most of which you can click on for details.

When we think of games and viral dance moves, it's Fortnite that comes to mind. Well, Fortnite and Just Dance.

The long-expected rogue rework finally sneaked in with Patch 10.2 and it put rogues in a very auspicious position for Season 3. The rework addressed many of the issues and complaints all three specs had with their Dragonflight talent trees.

In an extraordinary cosmic collaboration, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope have partnered to explore the vastness of a distant galaxy cluster and they have unveiled a mesmerising and vibrant panorama of the universe. This groundbreaking venture, capturing the galaxy cluster known as MACS0416, employs a fusion of visible and infrared light, producing one of the most extensive snapshots of the universe to date.

The Phantom Thieves strike again as 2020’s Persona 5 Strikers has sold over two million copies worldwide, adding yet another sales milestone to the fifth game’s growing list.

Slay the Spire is, without a doubt, one of the best roguelike deck builders that money can buy. It sees you attempt to ascend through a series of procedurally generated floors, developing effective strategies to overcome increasingly dangerous opponents. It's the perfect blend of strategic card-based battles and choice-based dungeon crawling, and naturally, many other developers have attempted to use its winning formula in their own games.
