Microsoft has reinstated the ability for Xbox users to share game screenshots and videos directly to Twitter in response to feedback it received after removing the feature from console dashboards in an Xbox Insider build earlier this month. While the direct Twitter sharing feature never got the chop in the live build of the Xbox dashboard - meaning the impact of its removal was limited - there were certainly grumbles from Insider testers after they were forced to grapple with more cumbersome methods of image and video sharing, requiring them to first upload clips to their phones, following the changes made in Microsoft’s previous Insider build....

The Big Lebowski, the Coen Brothers’ freewheeling, chemically-mellow comedy/crime movie, has achieved a cult status that fixates some movie fans while utterly vexing others. However, nearly 21 years after the film’s March 1998 debut, its quotability and reference well remains as prevalent as ever in pop culture; something that a corporate benefactor and star Jeff Bridges plans to capitalize upon with a Super Bowl commercial. While the nature of said commercial led to loads of speculation, we now know the fact, disappointing as they may be to fans....

After Laurence Olivier, modern film audiences probably associate Irish writer and director Kenneth Branagh most closely with the works of William Shakespeare. Branagh’s breakout film was 1989’s Henry V, which he adapted, directed and starred in, and he went on to direct and/or star in four more film versions of the Bard’s plays: Much Ado About Nothing (1993), Hamlet (1996), Love’s Labour Lost (2000) and As You Like It (2006). He also played Iago in a 1995 version of Othello which he did not direct, and has also directed and performed in numerous stage versions of Shakespeare’s works as well....

I may be biased, but I really feel that 1989 was a great year (I am biased because it was the year I was born). But, aside from my arrival in the world, it was also a great year because it was the year that the Legend of Zelda cartoon aired. Now, I know what you are thinking: “Victoria, why would you care about this? You would have been a newborn when this cartoon was playing on TV and therefore have no idea what was happening....

It’s time to review a Nintendo remake! Guess what? It’s good. Most Nintendo games are. There’s a certain level of polish you can expect from the big N, especially when it comes to one of its flagship series. The Legend of Zelda is one of the biggest series in gaming, so there was little doubt that a remake of one of its 90s Game Boy titles would be given the works....

It looks like Fortnite’s surprise “no building” mode is going to become permanent. Fortnite dataminer Twea revealed that the game now features Solo, Duo and Trio modes in which the option to build is turned off (thanks, VGC). Another dataminer, Hypex, found that the game’s loading screen tips have been updated to say “In modes with building enabled”, which implies Epic intends to keep the game mode around for at least a while longer....

If you haven’t heard about Loop Hero at this point, you probably haven’t been connected to the internet in a couple of weeks. The game took Steam by storm and hasn’t looked back since, clocking in at #2 on last week’s Steam sales charts. The game’s meager price tag can’t be hurting the surge, considering how close it is to toppling the ever-dominant Valheim. Who knows? It might only be a matter of time before the “little indie that could” takes its place atop the sales throne....

The issue came to light when thousands of players flocked to Steam to lodge negative user reviews, dropping the “mostly positive” aggregate rating to “mostly negative”. Many state that the message they received said “Ban (inactivity)” with no other reason given for their removal from the game. In a brief blog post shared over the weekend, the developer said that an error had “triggered these false bans” and vows it will “make this right with affected players”....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. This Luke Cage review contains spoilers. Luke Cage Season 2, Episode 7 You know, it’s difficult to get invested in Netflix’s cliffhangers sometimes.
