CoD Warzone’s New Pacific Map May Fix Some of Verdansk’s Biggest Problems

While the recent Call of Duty: Vanguard showcase was supposed to focus on the upcoming game’s multiplayer modes (and perhaps help distract people from Activision Blizzard’s ongoing harassment lawsuit and the fallout of the accusations made in that lawsuit), it’s hardly a surprise that most Call of Duty fans are instead focused on the brief glimpse of Warzone‘s new Pacific map that we got during the Vanguard event. We don’t know everything about this new map yet, but we do know that it is designed to resemble a Pacific island, will of course be tied into Vanguard‘s WW2 storyline in…

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 Fixes Problems You Didn’t Know Existed

The Cyberpunk 2077 team has revealed the full patch notes for the game’s recently released 1.2 update and all we can say is “wow.” There’s no use trying to breakdown the entirety of this patch since it contains over 500 updates, fixes, changes, and improvements. I highly recommend that you check out the (mostly) full rundown of the update if you’ve been waiting for that massive Cyberpunk 2077 patch that will finally make the game significantly more playable. This won’t be Cyberpunk 2077‘s last update, but it feels like the first of the game’s updates that are trying to do…

Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia: An Excellent Show Undermined by its Race Problems

Marketed as an updated and darker version of Gilmore Girls, the idea of this new mother-daughter duo show, Ginny & Georgia, is instantly appealing. Netflix’s new top 10 show is about 15-year-old Ginny Miller, played by Antonia Gentry, who often feels more mature than her 30-year-old mother, Georgia (Brianne Howey). When the family moves from Texas to a new town called Wellsbury in Massachusetts, Ginny isn’t too keen until she meets her super cute neighbor, Marcus, and his twin sister Maxine. But life is not so simple, and as secrets come to light, things get more complicated. After finishing the…

Are Cyberpunk 2077’s Bugs Hiding Its Bigger Problems?

Even with all the Cyberpunk 2077 post-release blowback (which includes reactions to the game’s bugs, the title’s nearly unplayable PS4 and Xbox One versions, and Sony’s decision to delist the game from the PlayStation Store), my mind keeps wandering to this 2019 interview with lead Cyberpunk 2077 quest designer, Pawel Sasko. While the part of that interview where Sasko says the developers obviously aren’t overworking themselves rings loud following CD Projekt Red’s decision to implement crunch scheduling, the bit that stands out most is the implication that at that time, Cyberpunk 2077 was nearly content complete. According to Sasko, the…

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Problems Addressed in Depth by Andre Braugher

Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andre Braugher has been talking about the issues that the show faces going into Season 8, now that the writing team behind the comedy series have decided to scrap their initial scripts in the wake of global Black Lives Matter protests and continuing police brutality in America, and start over from scratch. Braugher, who has played Capt. Raymond Holt on the beloved sitcom since 2013, notes that when addressing its lighthearted portrayal of police behavior, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has – for the most part – been no different to other shows in sweeping the more distressing facts under…

Is Randy Orton the Solution to WWE Ratings Problems?

Randy Orton has gone back in Doc Brown’s time machine, becoming the “legend killer” for the second time in his career. After taking out Edge and Christian in the last few months, Orton had set his sights on Big Show on last night’s episode of RAW.  The story weaved throughout the episode and had elements of old-school pro wrestling. Orton cut a killer promo where he talked about his motivations and why he’s taking out so many WWE legends. Later, just before the main event, Big Show told fans why he came to Orlando, to fight for Edge and Christian. He…

The Matrix DP Recalls On-Set Problems of Sequels

While a large majority of The Matrix fans would put the first movie squarely at the top of the trilogy with no bother from its sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions do still have their cheerleaders. Cinematographer Bill Pope found himself dragging his pompoms after a gruelling back-to-back shoot on both, though, describing it as “mind numbing and soul numbing.” Pope, who had previously worked with The Matrix directors The Wachowskis on 1996’s critically acclaimed Bound before climbing aboard the pair’s groundbreaking sci-fi action trilogy, revealed the exhaustive nature of the Reloaded and Revolutions shoot in a new…
