Borderlands 3 fans have gotten used to getting new shift codes every weekend, with Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford often tweeting out new codes on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. However, this weekend is a little different, as Pitchford has instead tweeted out a single new Borderlands 3 shift code that’s good for three Golden Keys by itself, and it will last a bit longer than usual before it expires.

Broken Lines Wants To Show Players That War Sucks

Developer PortaPlay has released a new trailer for their upcoming tactical RPG Broken Lines, and the trailer hammers home what appears to be the point of the game: war sucks. Period. War games tend to play up the sense of heroism, sacrifice and bravery involved in war, without focusing much on the enormous mental strain, moral gray areas, and horrific choices that might need to be made in the fog of war....

American Horror Story 1984 Episode 9 Review Final Girl

This American Horror Story review contains spoilers. American Horror Story 1984 Episode 9 Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, and while it’s taken decades, it seems that the ghosts trapped in Camp Redwood have come to a sort-of understanding, putting aside past differences over petty things like who killed who with what object. The gang trapped at a crumbling summer camp for eternity have unified behind one simple premise: killing Richard Ramirez over and over and over again to keep him from killing Bobby Richter....

An R Rated Detective Pikachu Could Have Easily Happened

Apparently there’s enough footage of Ryan Reynolds performing some adult humor for Detective Pikachu that they could have easily made it into an R-rated film. We know Ryan Reynolds best for performing in the Deadpool series where the foul-mouthed mercenary utters things that would never make it into a Disney film (although Marvel is owned by Disney, so technically it is a Disney film). One look at Reynolds’ IMDB page reveals that while there are the occasional PG-13 and PG film, here and there, he mainly takes adult roles in adult films....
