| The Forgotten City Review - Seven Deadly Sins Posted: 17 Aug 2021 11:14 AM PDT In the years prior to Julius Caesar's rule of ancient Rome, the legions of the empire were led by a wealthy general known as Marcus Crassus. He was infamous for many things, one of which was his revival of decimation--a harrowing means to control the army by punishing the collective for the actions of singular dissidents. Soldiers were divided into groups of ten, where each would draw stones. The one unfortunate enough to draw a white one would be beaten to death by the remaining nine, regardless of their involvement in any crimes against the empire. It instilled not only fear, but a strong sense of responsibility among the legions of soldiers, who quickly learned to self-discipline in the face of such punishment. The Forgotten City, a narrative puzzle game that started out as a Skyrim mod, uses the principle of decimation as its basis. It's an anecdote used to describe the game's most prominent mechanic, The Golden Rule, which is an ever-present threat to the small community trapped in a desolate and secluded city deep in the Roman mountains. A god watching over the community threatens to turn everyone into gold should anyone commit a sin. In theory this should lead to a utopia, a land where its people are forced into peaceful co-existence through the persistent threat of imminent and absolute destruction. But it's not long before you realize that the ideals of right and wrong, and, more importantly, who defines them, allow the definitions of sin to be bent and stretched in creative and cruel ways. Not long after the game's opening, you're teleported back in time to this ancient city and caught within the web of its passive aggressive personalities and bubbling politics. The magistrate of the society is the only one aware of who you are, tasking you with using an infinite time loop to figure out who will eventually break The Golden Rule and stop them before it happens. This also turns out to be the only way that you can get back to your time, motivating you to get very familiar with each of the city's varied inhabitants and decipher who might be on the verge of teasing out the apocalypse. Each loop is an opportunity to learn more about each citizen through dialogue, deciphering what their daily routines are, which other citizens they're bound to interact with, and which of their problems you can potentially solve. Eventually each day comes to an end, bringing about the fruition of The Golden Rule and forcing you to sprint towards the shrine you entered through to start the day over again.

| The 10 Best Hulu Original TV Shows Streaming Now Posted: 17 Aug 2021 10:26 AM PDT Hulu's initial success came from streaming current episodes of TV shows. But when cable services began fulfilling that need with On Demand programming, Hulu needed something to offer beyond reruns. And in the past five years, the company's original TV programming has made Hulu a subscription-worthy service in its own right. The Handmaid's Tale
Year: 2017-present Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski Creator: Bruce Miller Based on Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, the most critically acclaimed show on Hulu tells the story of women who were forced into sexual servitude as a means of repopulating the Earth.
Normal People
Year: 2020 Starring: Paul Mescal, Daisy Edgar-Jones Creator: Sally Rooney A romantic drama set in Ireland, Normal People tells a story about growing up, falling in and out of love, and the arising tensions from unequal social status.
Castle Rock
Year: 2018-2019 Starring: André Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Melanie Lynskey, Lizzy Caplan, Elsie Fisher Creator: Sam Shaw, Dustin Thomason A Stephen King-inspired fever dream, Castle Rock combines the horror master's most famous characters and storylines into a common, shared universe.
Animaniacs
Year: 2020-present Starring: Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Tress MacNeille Creator: Tom Ruegger The smartest animated show from the mid-'90s is back. Watch Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner irritate everyone while Pinky and the Brain try to take over the world.

Pen15
Year: 2019-present Starring: Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle Creator: Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Sam Zvibleman Thirteen is an awkward age, and Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, both playing fictionalized versions of themselves, bring the pain in this cringe comedy.
Wu-Tang: An American Saga
Year: 2019-present Starring: Ashton Sanders, Shameik Moore, Siddiq Saunderson Creator: RZA, Alex Tse The Wu-Tang Clan has always engaged in self-mythologizing, and this "based on a true story" epic, about the group's meteoric rise to fame, is another extension of that.
M.O.D.O.K.
Year: 2021-present Starring: Patton Oswalt, Aimee Garcia Creator: Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt Stop-motion animation isn't the go-to medium when it comes to telling Marvel stories, but M.O.D.O.K., about a big-headed supervillain's midlife crisis, makes it work.
Runaways

| How To Connect A Wireless Controller To Nintendo Switch Posted: 17 Aug 2021 10:24 AM PDT While every Nintendo Switch comes bundled with a pair of Joy-Cons, those aren't the only options you have when it comes to controllers. The system supports many different types of Nintendo Switch controllers, including Nintendo's own Switch Pro Controller and a number of third-party alternatives from brands like 8BitDo and PowerA. If you've just picked up another gamepad and need some help syncing it with the console, here's how to connect a wireless controller to the Switch. How to connect a Pro Controller to Switch Method 1 - USB cable1. The easiest way to connect a Pro Controller (or another wireless controller) to your Switch is with its included USB-C charging cable. First, plug the cable into your Switch's dock. 2. Connect the Pro Controller to the USB-C cable while your Switch is inserted in the dock. The controller will automatically pair with the system.

| How To Use Xbox Game Bar On Windows 10 Posted: 17 Aug 2021 10:18 AM PDT Assuming you don't have a video capture card, Xbox Game Bar is one of the easier ways to record gameplay while you play on PC. Windows 10 automatically comes with Xbox Game Bar, and it's pretty easy to access. Really the only thing you need to consider to bring up the Xbox Game Bar is whether you're currently playing on your PC with a controller or mouse-and-keyboard setup. The two different methods are listed below.  How To Open Xbox Game Bar On Windows 10
As a note, if you have both an Xbox controller and mouse-and-keyboard plugged into your PC, you can use either method to access the Xbox Game Bar. Plugging in one does not supersede the other. You can also open up the Xbox Game Bar at any time--you don't actually have to start playing a game to open it. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Kevin Feige Clarifies "Experiment" Comments About Shang-Chi Posted: 17 Aug 2021 10:13 AM PDT
Last week, Disney CEO Bob Chapek responded to a question during a Disney investor's call, regarding the planned release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In his answer, Chapek explained that Shang-Chi was "an interesting experiment" for Disney because it would only be exclusively released in the theatrical window for 45 days. This meant that the movie would presumably make the jump to the Disney+ streaming service just 45 days after its scheduled theatrical debut on September 3. The comments, however, were not taken as such by many people online, including the film's star Simu Liu, who took to social media to express his frustration. "We are not an experiment," Liu stated.

| Cyberpunk 2077's First Free DLC Is Purely Cosmetic, More Add-Ons Coming Later Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:43 AM PDT Developer CD Projekt Red has pulled back the curtain on Cyberpunk 2077's first batch of free DLC, but they're not as substantial as you might expect. During a Twitch livestream, several CDPR employees broke down what's new inside the third-person shooter's latest update. Alongside discussing the changes in Patch 1.3, the studio showcased the four new pieces of content: two jackets, one car, and an alternative outfit for Johnny Silverhand. All four pieces of DLC can be accessed in the game's Main Menu under the Additional Content tab.

| How To Fix A Nintendo Switch That Won't Charge Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:35 AM PDT Every game console is prone to technical issues, despite how much care we may take when using them, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception. One of the more common problems that system owners have encountered is that their Switch won't charge, even when plugged in. If you're currently experiencing this issue, here are some ways to potentially fix a Switch that won't charge. How to fix a Switch that won't charge 1. Check the AC adapterIf your Switch isn't charging, the first and most obvious thing to do is to check if the AC adapter is plugged into the wall outlet properly. While you're at it, check the adapter for any visible signs of damage like cuts or frays. If the adapter is damaged, you'll need to order a replacement. You can do so from Nintendo's online store, where the company sells brand-new adapters for $30 USD each. You can also get them on Amazon for half the price from a well-reviewed third-party brand. 2. Unplug the AC adapterIf your AC adapter isn't damaged, try unplugging it from the wall outlet as well as from the Switch dock. Leave the adapter unplugged for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in and see if your Switch starts charging again. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Every Zelda Game On Nintendo Switch Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:30 AM PDT The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's most venerated franchises. If any of Nintendo's first-party mascots is as well-known as its mustachioed plumber, it's the noble sword-and-shield adventurer Link. Zelda games also often happen to be among the best-reviewed of Nintendo's first-party stable, often receiving critical acclaim for their lively atmosphere and ingenious puzzles and dungeons. As a result of its popularity, a bunch of entries in the series can be found on the company's current best-selling console. The Switch enjoys a wealth of games built from the ground up for the hybrid handheld-console, along with remakes and remasters of older games, and even classics brought back through the Nintendo Switch Online library. Zelda games tend to be large adventures, some consisting of dozens of hours of gameplay. That means the Zelda games available on Switch could keep you occupied for quite a while. From recent masterpieces like Breath of the Wild to classics like the original Legend of Zelda to spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors, here are all the Legend of Zelda games you can enjoy on Nintendo Switch.

These include Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul) as Black Mask, Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) as Julia Pennyworth, Keith David (The Thing) as Tobias Whale, Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation) as King Faraday and Boss Moxie, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Cruella) as Cheetah.

| Crysis 2 Remastered On PS5 Runs At 60fps, Won't Have Ray Tracing Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:12 AM PDT Crysis 2 and 3 Remastered are set to release this fall, and now fans can take a first-look at the new-and-improved Crysis 2 running on PlayStation 5, courtesy of a new video from Digital Foundry. The game will run at close to a locked 60 frames-per-second at 1440p native resolution on PS5, with Digital Foundry noting that they expect a higher resolution to be possible on the Xbox Series X. Digital Foundry describes the project as cross-generational, meaning Crysis 2 is running on a PlayStation 4 codebase which then can be played on PS5. A Nintendo Switch version of Crysis 2 and 3 Remastered is said to run at a stable 30fps. Digital Foundry notes that the development of the remastered games has undergone some changes. While developer Saber Interactive is still in charge, they are working more closely with Crytek to "better realize the potential of the project." It should also be noted that Digital Foundry itself consulted on the project by looking at early builds of the game and offering feedback, which it did free of charge. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Mark Wahlberg And Kevin Hart Will Star In A Netflix Comedy Together Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:11 AM PDT Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart are two of the biggest names in Hollywood, but they have never worked together. That's about to change, as sources told Deadline that Wahlberg and Hart will star in a new Netflix comedy called Me Time. John Hamburg, who previously wrote the Kevin Hart movie Night School, is writing and directing Me Time. The story follows a stay-at-home dad played by Hart who finally gets some "me time" when his family is away. He uses the time to catch up with an old friend (Wahlberg) and they get into some hijinks that nearly "upends his life." Me Time is part of Hart's deal with Netflix through his HartBeat Production that spans four movies. Netflix boss Scott Stuber said, "There are very few artists who can attract audiences of all ages and succeed in making comedies, dramas and family films. We're excited to partner with Kevin, and his great team at Hartbeat, to entertain our audience for years to come." Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Madden 22 Out Now With Premium Editions, 10-Hour EA Play Trial Also Available Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:05 AM PDT EA's Madden NFL 22 releases on August 20, but you can actually start playing the American professional football game right now through an early access trial or by purchasing one of the game's more expensive editions.

| Venom 2 Cast May Include JK Simmons, According To Movie Theater Listing Posted: 17 Aug 2021 09:04 AM PDT Venom: Let There Be Carnage might have an extra cameo lurking on the set, as UK cinema chain Vue has included actor JK Simmons' name in the cast page for the upcoming sequel, as spotted by GamesRadar. Simmons played the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle newspaper in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, and had a small cameo in 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home as a new incarnation of the character who's constantly demanding to see pictures of the web-slinger. While it could be a simple mistake on Vue's part, there have been a few clues spotted in the marketing for Venom so far. The Daily Bugle newspaper was spotted in one of the trailers for the film, while Sony's other Spider-Man spin-off Morbius has a Far From Home Easter egg that might be a reference to the death of Mysterio. Venom 2 director Andy Serkis has deflected any Marvel multiversal theories, claiming that Venom 2 exists in its "own world" for now. There have been rumors that Simmons is reprising his role, once again, of Jameson for Venom 2, but there has been no confirmation of Jameson's return or Simmons' involvement with the upcoming film as of this writing. On the Marvel Cinematic Universe side, that reality is about to get much bigger. Loki ended its first season with the formation of a multiverse, Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch will explore those alternate realities in a Sam Raimi-directed film, and the animated What If…? series kicked off with a look at a world where Peggy Carter got a super-soldier upgrade instead of Steve Rogers.

Robbing any camp this week, either during free roam or in the Clearing House or Dirty Money, Dirty Deeds crimes, will net aspiring criminals twice the cash and XP this week.

| Fortnite Impostors Mode Is A Lore Goldmine, But Is It Canon? Posted: 17 Aug 2021 08:53 AM PDT Fortnite is certified sus this week with the introduction of its new Impostors mode, which aims to take on Among Us. The new game mode is quickly gaining traction among the millions who play Fortnite every week, and it's not just because it offers a more polished take on the game's fanmade limited-time mode (LTM) from Christmas last year, The Spy Within. Players are dissecting the new map and its lore items scattered within the confines of this new social deduction mode, and it seems Epic may be using the mode to fill in some holes in the island's backstory. Most prominent among
Also spotted by FortTory is a locked drawer in Agent Jones' (Jonesy) room. Sticky notes demand others give Jones his privacy, and unfortunately, players have no choice but to do so, for now at least. There appears to be no way to open the drawer and rummage through its contents. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
