Black Creator SpotlightA year of interviews with Black game developers. / Photo by DBLTAP2020 was a summer of rage. Three high-profile killings of Black people — Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd — led to a flood of protests demanding justice. I marched at some of those protests, but it was hard to escape the feeling of helplessness. We could chant for hours, some of us could get maced and arrested, and we could come back to do it all again. But the power to create real change lay

Kena: Bridge of Spirits garnered quite a bit of hype in the time since its reveal last year up until its recent launch, and thankfully, it very much lived up to it. Ember Lab’s debut game is a solid action-adventure title with gorgeous visuals and engaging gameplay, and if you liked it as much as so many others have, you’ll probably want more of it. Thankfully, it seems like the developer has every intention of delivering more Kena content. Speaking in an interview with IGN (which you can view below), when asked about

The term “one-shot” is thrown around loosely among League of Legends players, so seeing an actual one-shot kill—one where only one ability or auto attack is used—is a rare occurrence.  In a clip posted to Reddit last night, a League player pulled off a traditional 100-to-zero one-shot kill with Jhin.

Reed’s Regret is the latest Trials of Osiris weapon, a Linear Fusion Rifle that boasts the Stasis element and an impressive perk pool.
