My Switch backlog is ridiculous. I’m busy juggling Ni No Kuni II and a review copy of Far Cry 5 on my PS4, neglecting the half-played Evil Within 2. I’ve got games to play on my Xbox One as well (some of them old). I figured it was at least okay to stop carrying my…
This week we’ve got Far Cry 5’s cult-fighting open world coming to lots of platforms and Outlast 2 being ported to the Switch. There’s other stuff, too. This is a strong week for the PS Vita, a console that I thought had been mostly abandoned at this point. If you’ve yet to make the jump…

Since 2012, Tokyo-based Run’a Entertainment has had an official Evangelion motorsport team. This was a very good idea. Not because it has any tangible impact on the team’s winning record. But what it does impact is the cars and bikes’ appearance. While the Eva cosplay race queens might seem like pandering to anime fans, the…

Dungeons & Dragons is full of mixed up creatures like owlbears, which are half bear and half owl, and perytons, the deer-headed eagles of your dreams and nightmares. D&D creatures generated by a neural network are even weirder. Janelle Shane, a research scientist who works with neural networks, has generated a whole host of new…
It’s like synchronized martial arts. In last night’s Dragon Ball FighterZ finals at Thaiger Uppercut 2018, two players who both ran Adult Gohan figured out that they were fighting with a similar set of tools. When two hits collide like that, it’s referred to as a “clash,” and it’s been around longer than you might…
Sea of Thieves is out now, and we’re finally able to sail the high seas. What other characters might be getting their boat on now? There’s something about the allure of boats.
