This review contains spoilers. 2.2 Black Jesus Blues Our cultural criticism tends to give more points to stories that make us think than stories that make us feel, but my own personal preferences have always fallen toward the latter. Few shows—network or otherwise—make me feel as much as Black Lightning does, and this was particularly true in the final scene of tonight’s episode. In it, we see Jefferson Pierce tell the Garfield High student body that, because of his absence during the attack on the school and its aftermath last season, he will be stepping down as principal....

This Black Mirror review contains spoilers. Black Mirror Season 5 Episode 3 It’s fitting the Miley Cyrus was chosen to embody trapped pop sensation Ashely O in Black Mirror Season 5’s “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too,” as her own Disney-fied past is likely filled with similar stories of content restriction and yearning to stretch her art to darker or more adult places. However, Cyrus is also perfectly cast because the plot of “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too” is eerily similar to the sort of feature one could imagine Cyrus starring in back when she was under Mickey Mouse’s thumb....

Team 17 and The Game Kitchen have released a new update for pixel platform slasher, Blasphemous. The Wounds of Eventide is said to be the final new chapter for the game. It includes new levels, new bosses, new items and lots more secrets to uncover within. While most of the contents are being left for players to discover, we are told it will unlock another fate for Cvstodia. This fate will tie the game into its upcoming sequel, which has been pencilled in for a 2023 launch....

Since the official release of Borderlands 3, players have been pushing the games limits to see what it can do. One PC player recently created a mod that turned it into limbo, and a recent BL3 glitch allowed players to one-hit pretty much everything. The latest glitch to be discovered is just as useful, though, as it turns the player invincible. For clarification, this particular glitch will work on any platform (whether it be PC or console) and on any of the 4 playable characters....

During its PAX East presentation, Gearbox Software unveiled the second Borderlands 3 DLC—Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright and Hammerlock. It seems safe to say that the marketing for this DLC was stealthy but seemingly self-evident now, as the Broken Hearts event recently ended with players striving for their Wedding Invitation sniper rifles. Nonetheless, new DLC aside, one of the biggest reveals in the trailer is that Gaige the Mechromancer is returning as a NPC....

In 10 days, fans will finally be able to get their hands on Borderlands 3, and today Gearbox Software officially announced what time the game will go live for each console and confirmed when players can preload the game. Console players will, for the most part, be able to play immediately on September 13. PC players who get the game through the Epic Game Store may be able to play the game early on September 12....

However, we’re going to maintain focus here on the fifth season of Bosch and everything we know so far! Bosch Season 5 Trailer The first trailer for Bosch Season 5 has arrived! The official logline reads: Bosch Season 5 Release Date Bosch Season 5 Cast Chris Vance joined the cast of Bosch Season 5, according to Deadline. He will recur as Dalton Walsh, who’s described as “the Big Boss” of an opioid ring, which presumably sets him as the big bad of the season....

If you’ve been looking to pick up a PS4 or Xbox One this year, now is probably the best the time. Both consoles are discounted by over $100 across a few different retailers this weekend, and some of these deals are even better than what we saw during Black Friday. The PS4 Pro is currently listed on eBay at an incredibly low price of $284.99. eBay is also selling a PS4 Pro bundle, complete with Horizon Zero Dawn and Nioh for $299....

The ongoing row between whether lootboxes in games do constitute gambling is evidently not going away anytime soon, and now after both Hawaii and Belgium have weighed in, over the weekend the British Gambling Commission has released a statement of their own. The statement, posted on the official body’s website, begins by setting out the BGC’s role, saying ‘The definition of what is legally classed as gambling is set by Parliament rather than by us....

Games like Enter the Gungeon have proven that bullet hell shooting and dungeon crawling go together like chicken and waffles. So it only makes sense that developer Chunkybox Games would jump in and get a piece of the action with Wildcat Gun Machine. This new bullet hell dungeon crawler promises to offer “an explosion roller coaster ride” filled with disgusting eldritch abominations, destructive weaponry, and of course, cats. If Wildcat Gun Machine sounds like your cup of tea, then you can strap in and go hog wild once the game sees an official release on May 4....

Shawn Hatosy plays the eldest brother, Pope, in TNT’s Animal Kingdom, which follows the Cody family’s criminal exploits and the betrayals and emotional highs and lows of their lives together, but the actor also made his directorial debut with the show last season. This Friday’s episode titled, “Julia,” marks Hatosy’s second time in the director’s chair in a season that has brought his character to new lows while exploring the origins of the family’s life of crime....

One of the coolest things about the new James Wan-directed Aquaman is the big-screen debut of Black Manta, one of the King of Atlantis’ most enduring and popular villains who first appeared in the comics back in 1967. As played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (The Greatest Showman), David Kane is the young leader of a band of pirates who runs headlong into the title hero after hijacking a Russian submarine....

This Arrow review contains spoilers. Arrow Season 4, Episode 23 The stakes were high in the Arrowseason 4 finale and, though this show was never quite able to sell the urgency of a nuclear apocalypse (would people really be looting TVs when the world is about to end?), it tried so damn hard — and there was something successful about that earnestness. There was something distracting about Team Arrow’s banter and the episode’s impressive action sequences that distracted from the larger absurdity of this plot....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla features a quest called Children of Danu. This quest can be unlocked after completing the main quest ‘Potion of Blood’. There are 10 members in this quest that are hidden and cannot be tracked on the map. You need to find a couple of clues per each member of Children of Danu to unlock their location. Find the clues one by one. The first clue will lead to the second, the second to the third, and so on....

Royal Demands are sidequests that you can do in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids. You’ll be tasked to do some of these as part of the main quest. However, you’ll probably want to complete more since you can get resources for your Trade Posts and Overseas Trading opportunities. There are even “King’s Pleas” that drastically alter your approach. Here’s our Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids guide to help you complete Royal Demands and King’s Pleas....

In December 2019, Felipe Falanghe, creator of Kerbal Space Program, announced he was working on a new title, Balsa Model Flight Simulator. The initial announcement showed off a little bit of pre-alpha footage. It also revealed some of the features the game would have. Since then, Falanghe and his team have been flying under the radar, but they’ve just broken radio silence. Publisher The Irregular Corporation has released a new video that features Falanghe showing off new gameplay....

Klaus Janson is a legend in comics. He’s so big that he’s best known for seven different things – he’s the guy who co-created Micro in The Punisher; or the one who drew “Gothic,” one of Grant Morrison’s first and moodiest Batman stories; or the comics storytelling professor at SVA; or the guy who finished Frank Miller’s pencils on Daredevil and The Dark Knight Returns. But on everything he does, his art is immediately distinct: it’s moody and heavy in a way very few new comic artists can successfully accomplish....

Electronic Arts has revealed to Polygon that Battlefield V will include two flavours of in-game currencies when it hits stores later this year. While it’s not naming anything at the moment, one currency will be hoovered up by simply playing the game and completing objectives as per the norm. The other, however, can be purchased using real cash and will be used to buy cosmetic items. Remember, there’s no loot boxes in Battlefield V so it won’t be pay-to-win....
