This article contains mild spoilers from several sequences in Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. The opening image of BlacKkKlansman is unmistakable. It is a classic moment from one of the all-time Hollywood classics: Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara wades through the dead and dying of the Confederate Army, slowly realizing the sheer hopelessness of the Southern “Cause,” a cause which Gone with the Wind (1939) demurred from explicitly stating (unlike what D.W. Griffith’s love letter to the Ku Klux Klan, The Birth of a Nation, had done 24 years earlier)....

With Diablo Immortal bringing the signature action role-playing experience to mobile devices and PC via open beta, players have been kicking demon butt and becoming heroes of Sanctuary over the last month or so, with many reaching the level cap and progressing on their Paragon levels. To keep that momentum going, Blizzard has released the latest details on the first post-launch update for Diablo Immortal. Players can look forward to a new season that comes packed with three new battle passes, a new raid boss to challenge, as well as a weekend event to spice things up....

After years of anticipation, Overwatch 2 has finally released into Early Access. However, the release was unfortunately accompanied by some severe server issues that stopped many players from even entering the game. Long queues have been a regular occurrence, and server instability has kicked plenty of players out of matches mid-game. Technical hiccups have also cropped up with Blizzard’s new SMS Protect feature, which required all Overwatch 2 players to provide a phone number on their Battle....

Borderlands 3 has been out long enough that the hype going into it has died down a little, but no one can say that it isn’t receiving enough post-launch support. Developer Gearbox Software has been hard at work providing updates to the characters, with another BL3 Patch addressing Vault Hunters and Mayhem Mode in the near future. Compile the balancing tweaks, whether for good or ill, with the on-going Anniversary event, and many fans may be sated for the time being before any major DLC launches....

Borderlands 3 is getting its first DLC pack, with a formal announcement next week. We’ve known this was coming. Borderlands 3 was launched with a season pass monetization model in mind (just like Borderlands 2), which means pass holders can get three more campaign DLC.

To get the deets, tune in to the Borderlands Twitch channel for the announcement presentation, and then stick around for The Borderlands Show where Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford will co-host with regulars Greg Miller and Fran Mirabella to talk about what to expect in the first DLC to hit Borderlands 3....

Bugsnax, the irreverent new adventure game from Young Horses, got a gameplay trailer in last night’s State of Play showcase. On the island of Snaktooth, there are animals that appear like foodstuffs, named Bugsnax. When caught and consumed, the Bugsnak will cause parts of the characters’ body to change into that particular food. It’s slightly sinister, and slightly silly, and very on brand for Young Horses. Unlike its previous game, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, this game will be played in a first-person perspective as the player catalogues all of the Bugsnax on Snaktooth Island....

Destiny 2 developer Bungie has announced a major change for the game’s selection of armour mods, which - as you might expect - allow you to modify your character’s abilities. Beginning now, all “standard” armour mods have been unlocked for all players - a move Bungie says is designed to allow “everyone a chance to enjoy all mods in their current state” ahead of the upcoming Lightfall expansion, which will feature “big changes” to buildcrafting....

We all thought the Twitch Google acquisition was in the bag but it appears not according to reports today. Although no official announcement had been made by Google or Twitch it was widely reported that the acquisition had gone through for $1 bn.

Twitch recently made some major changes to their streaming policies which were extremely similar to YouTube’s which indicated they were moving systems over to fall in-line with Google’s copyright policies....

Vince Zampella has confirmed that Respawn has no plans to start updating Apex Legends every week and the devs will be sticking to the way they initially set out to space out the incorporation of new weapons, skins, characters and what have you. The battle royale had the gaming world going batty during its first month but is now falling off, with the lack of fresh content said to be what’s hurting it....

While some video game characters follow the laws of the real world and only die once, many characters can be resurrected. Whether they’re saved through technology, magic, or unforeseen resilience, these characters surprise fans through their miraculous reappearances. A lot can happen over the course of a game franchise. Games may come out in chronological order or a later game may function as a prequel to explain the events and characters of the series....

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey developer Ubisoft has revealed that it pushed for as many Greek actors as possible for the upcoming stab-happy sequel.

Speaking with VG247, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey audio head honcho Lydia Andrew said the game’s setting offered ‘a nice opportunity for us to have a deep dive into the culture of Greece and obviously Ancient Greece....

Pop culture and superhero movies go hand in hand these days. Actors don’t need to be in Oscar worthy films anymore in order to gain fame, not when they have the Marvel or DC universes to try out for. The stars of these films have attracted huge followings, effectively setting them up for life. Just why is it that way? Because of the diehard fans that steer these superhero movies’ successes....

This article contains Captain Marvel spoilers… Most of us went into Captain Marvel not knowing entirely what to expect from the MCU’s version of the villainous Skrulls, who have popped up time and again in Marvel’s comics since the early 60s. The film’s trailers more than hinted that Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers would be pitted against the shape-shifting alien race, who had come to Earth in the 1990s for some purpose or other, but that was about the limit of what we were led to expect....

If fans of Minecraft are getting terribly bored with how the game looks and feels, shaders are the perfect way to make things more interesting. What these mods do is tweak the graphics and the lighting of the game to create a better atmosphere. Lights and shadows tend to be more realistic and look nicer overall compared to the regular aesthetic of the game. Many Minecraft shaders are difficult for PCs to handle, so it’s generally good to make sure a player’s PC has what it takes to run the game with some of the better, heavier shaders....
