‘Tis the season for applying to college, and college applicants can get pretty competitive. Students are doing everything they can to stand out on their applications through extracurricular clubs, volunteer work, and highlighting any uniqueness in their ethnicity–but unfortunately, one student’s attempt to do just that resulted in a mortifying mistake. Dungeons & Dragons, meanwhile, has an almost dizzying number of playable races, including one called Yuan-Ti. Normally, the subject of college applications and D&D lore don’t pair well at all, but in this case, they’re firmly linked: one student made the mistake of claiming to be a descendant of the fictional Yuan-Ti monsters from D&D....

Marvel’s Avengers took up a big chunk of today’s Square Enix showcase, and for good reason. It’s a massive title for Square Enix, one that hasn’t exactly performed up to expectations. The game has fallen off for a majority of players and embroiled itself in a small controversy regarding XP changes. Today was a chance for developer Crystal Dynamics to flaunt the new content heading to the game, and it delivered in spades....

It has grown substantially; not only in terms of player base, but also core features, and, quite fittingly, the amount of additional content. The flow of new products has gone from a trickle to a stream, and yet, we’re still in the early stages of what is very likely going to be a very long shelf life for the sim....

This Iron Fist review contains spoilers. Iron Fist Season 2 Episode 8 Any thoughts that Davos might be redeemable (in his current state) can be pretty much crossed off now that he’s gone and killed someone who was completely innocent, though the kids who are following him would have to be fairly mad not to see that they’re all only one misunderstanding away from an Iron Fist-shaped hole in their bellies....

Almost exactly a year ago we got our hands on Just Cause 2 and fell in love. The game was so big and so much fun, the weaker story elements didn’t even matter.
