‘GTA V’ brings transphobia to the next console generation

Sponsored Links Imagine there’s a marquee game coming out next year from one of the coolest AAA video game studios in the world, and its first round of marketing has just gone live. You’re watching a Twitch streamer play through parts of the game in early access, showing off beautifully detailed real-world settings and NPCs living everyday lives in a bustling city. It’s nighttime in the game and the streamer, playing as a middle-aged man, approaches a group of people standing outside of a club.

Noodlecake’s Top-Down ‘Rocket League’-Like ‘Motorball’ is Looking for Beta Testers on iOS and Android

Boy, time sure does fly. It doesn’t feel like it was all the way back in December of 2018 that the good folks at Noodlecake Games announced a slick new Rocket League-like game for mobile called Motorball during the awesome Kinda Funny Games Showcase, but looking at our previous post covering that announcement, it has indeed been that long. You may have thought the game was forgotten about, shoved way back in the corner of a closet never to be heard from again. But you’d be wrong. Noodlecake has simply

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated Review

Nearing the end of SpongeBob's journey under the sea, you're tasked with guiding a ball through a giant Rube Goldberg machine in Mermaid Man's Lair. Once you activate the machine you have to match the ball’s painstakingly slow speed while using SpongeBob's arsenal of bubble abilities to make sure it doesn’t fall over.

Da 5 Bloods Review: Spike Lee’s Netflix Jungle Thriller Is A Powerful History Lesson

Spike Lee has been one of America's most important and prolific filmmakers for over 30 years, but like all directors with long and diverse careers, he has experienced various levels of critical and commercial success. Prior to 2018, his last major box office success was 2006's heist thriller Inside Man, but the success of Blackkklansman was a very welcome reminder of Lee's immense gift as both a fiery social commentator and consummate cinematic craftsman. For his next movie, Lee has teamed up with Netflix to deliver the sprawling and powerful

Netflix Releases Surprise Dave Chappelle Special Responding To George Floyd’s Death

Dave Chappelle has a new stand-up comedy special that's been surprise-released. As with his last five specials, this is a Netflix production. However, unlike those other shows, Netflix has released Chappelle's latest work--8:46--for free online.
