On paper, After the Fall is yet another zombie apocalypse-based virtual reality game. In 2022, that’s not exactly newsworthy. Hell, the title’s Dutch developers at Vertigo Games have even already released one of the genre’s earliest defining games with 2016’s Arizona Sunshine. But in (virtual) reality, After the Fall is greater than the sum of […]
Two years ago, Giga Chikadze was a relatively unknown commodity in the mixed martial arts world. Coming from a karate background and competing at the highest levels of kickboxing, the Georgian (the country, not the state) featherweight squeaked by Brandon Davis to win his UFC debut by split decision and was preparing to battle Jamall […]
If you haven’t played 2018’s God of War yet, you’re really running out of excuses. The lauded Game of the Year winner is considered one of the best video games in history, and now it’s not even a PlayStation exclusive anymore. Launching on PC (via both Steam and the Epic Games Store) this Friday (January […]
Roughly 23 years ago, Canadian musician Paul Ruskay quit his day job to compose the soundtrack for the first project from an indie game developer based in Vancouver called Relic Entertainment.

On paper, Letterkenny seems like exactly the kind of show that pretty much no one would care about. It’s a very Canadian ensemble-based sitcom about the happenings of a rural town and its population — or as the show’s opening slide explains, “There are 5000 people in Letterkenny. These are their problems.” It’s full of […]
A little over a week ago, LCD Soundsystem announced they’d be the subject of a new holiday special. Not just that, but it was to be released on December 22. The project is shepherded by Eric Wareheim, who is playing LCD frontman James Murphy and directing. The cast features a murderer’s row of who’s who, […]
Among fighters who’ve never even competed for a championship belt, few (if any) have as many accolades as Cub Swanson. Going into his 20th UFC fight (with eight more in the elite promotion, WEC, from before the UFC added a featherweight division), the Palm Springs, California native has racked up 10 Fight of the Night […]
Let me first say that I didn’t grow up watching Christmas movies. The headline should have given that away. I did dabble in the viewing of Frosty the Snowman as a child and I knew all the Christmas songs because I went to a public school. But classic movies like Miracle on 34th Street and […]
When Dead Cells released into early access back in 2017, the action-heavy roguelike immediately began garnering praise for its depth of combat and gameplay. But what even the most glowing reviews couldn’t have predicted was that as the game enters its fifth year in the public eye, its player base is not only remaining rock […]
