This Brooklyn Nine-Nine review contains spoilers. Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 5 Considering how funny I’ve found Vanessa Bayer as Debbie in her other appearances this season on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you would think “Debbie,” in which Debbie becomes a coked-up antagonist to Jake and Rosa, would have been right up my alley, but somehow the episode slightly
This post is sponsored by Tor Books. Readers who have been following R. A. Salvatore’s career since his early days and the introduction of his iconic character Drizzt Do’Urden, know that the author has never followed a clear path that defines good and evil.

In February, Den of Geek descended into a dungeon-like underground bar in Paris to take part in a preview event for Baldur’s Gate 3. Journalists sat on pews in a chapel-like room to watch Larian studio head Swen Vincke play through a few hours of the highly anticipated RPG. We didn’t get a chance to
This Star Trek: Picard review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Picard Episode 6 How you felt about this week’s Star Trek: Picard probably depends on how invested you have been in the Soji/Narek storyline so far, as their relationship and the implications of Narek’s lies came to an intense head in “The Impossible Box.” For me,
Adam Strange is the quintessential 1950s pulp science hero. On Earth, he was an archaeologist with a boring life (at least relative to the Nazi hunting peaks that we know archaeology professors can hit thanks to the Indiana Jones franchise). He was hit by a mysterious beam of light while on a dig in Peru,
The Diablo 4 development team shared some updates that they’ve added to the game in response to some of the fan feedback that they’ve received thus far. At this time, it seems that most of the major updates revolve around the game’s UI and aesthetics. Specifically, Blizzard notes that they’ve altered Diablo 4‘s inventory screens

This The Magicians review contains spoilers. The Magicians Season 5 Episode 8 Is everyone ready to roll back that smug conviction we had last week about the Dark King’s duplicity? We should know by now that The Magicians likes to play with our expectations, and the Fillory storyline not only gave us a great Freaky
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every Jane Austen novel must be adapted an infinite amount of times and we will be grateful for all of them. (Yes, even the Pride & Prejudice & Zombies film, the best part of which was not the movie itself but a supercut of Matt Smith as Mr.
After releasing multiple quality collections of the classic Mega Man and Mega Man X games, Capcom has turned its focus to yet another Mega Man subseries with the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Despite the somewhat awkward title, this is the best collection of Mega Man titles yet. The Zero and ZX games are among the

If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen Al Pacino on TV much over the years, the answer is simple: the iconic star of films like The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface hasn’t done much work on the small screen during his more than five decades as an actor. Following a guest shot on a
Much has been said about the future of Star Wars now that the Skywalker Saga has come to a close. Lucasfilm finally gave us a glimpse at a special Project Luminous event in February where the company unveiled Star Wars: The High Republic, a new series of interconnected stories that will cover adult, middle-grade, and
Developer Platinum Games has revealed a new title called Project G.G. which will be the studio’s first self-published game. “Unlike any of the games we’ve made so far, it’s going to be a 100 percent Platinum Games title,” says director Hideki Kamiya via a press release. “For everything from its setting and characters, to its game
Researchers from the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, teaming up with scientists from Singapore and the U.S., have found that nanoscale precipitates provide a unique sustainable dislocation source at sufficiently high stress. The scientists discovered that densely dispersed nanoprecipitates simultaneously serve as dislocation sources and obstacles, leading to a sustainable and

Den of Geek is hosting this giveaway in partnership with Tor Books. Part mystery, part space opera, A Memory Called Empire was one of the most engaging speculative fiction books of 2019 (not to mention one of the best-titled releases of the year).

This Briarpatch review contains spoilers. Briarpatch Episode 3 While doing press for Briarpatch, which has been pushed to the unfortunate hour of 11 p.m. on Monday nights (let’s hope those streaming numbers stay steady), creator Andy Greenwald has joked that the show should be subtitled “Rosario Dawson Talks to Weirdos.” He’s certainly not wrong; “Terrible, Shocking Things”
This Better Call Saul review contains spoilers. Better Call Saul Season 5 Episode 2 Even if the second night of AMC’s grand two-night premiere of Better Call Saul can’t help but feel a little less ceremonious than last night’s premiere, it’s still an exciting escalation of the story and an interesting rewind back to some of Season 1’s
