Sometime in spring and that’s all we know Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, a second crack at what’s infamously considered one of the worst games ever, is probably going to be better than its predecessor. It’s not a high bar to clear, and it’d take a staggering lack of self-awareness to revive something this reviled only to somehow make it worse. That suspicion should be confirmed soon enough. Shaq’s video game redemption tour starts sometime in the spring....

WithObi-Wan Kenobihaving ended a few weeks ago, many fans and critics continue to voice their criticisms of the latest piece ofStar Warscontent on Disney Plus.

In this case, all credit is due to a young filmmaker, producer, editor, and visual effects artist named Kai Patterson, who, as aStar Warsfan, had followed the series’ development over on TikTok by posting some videos addressing some of the more commonlydebated decisions inObi-Wan Kenobi....

Fantasytelevision has exploded on the heels ofGame of Thrones’success, but many of today’s biggest series are available on streaming services or premium networks, like HBO. There aren’t nearly as many recent additions to the genre on network television, likely because of the hefty budgets required to bring fantasy to life — and the fact that they’d be competing with the likes of Netflix or Prime Video. But while fantasy is harder to do on network TV, a number of solid series have come from there....

First introduced inThe Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart was an arrogant wizard who was famous for his various feats of bravery.

It waslooking like it was going to happen, and now it finally has: Valve’sThe Orange Boxhas taken the topPCandXbox 360 spotson game review site Metacritic.

Destructoid’sownreviewsof the collection have been favorable as well, and compare to Metacritic’s overall 97 out of 100 rating (both in PC and Xbox 360 categories)....

First, it’s an incredible gamepad (which it better be, considering the $150 price tag). It’s hefty and quality and springy in all the right ways. It cheapens other standard controllers, making them feel like inadequate plastic toys. But,it’ll probably also break downat some point. The rubber grips will come loose....

Twitch streamer odablock is sent a huge amount of money for successfully hitting a 1 in 100 chance. Large donations on Twitch aren’t uncommon and in 2019, oneuser donated thousands of dollars to set a new record, but the unlikelihood of odablock getting the chance is what makes this so special. During a stream ofOld School RuneScapeTwitchstreamer odablock received a wager from a viewer in the chat named paruparoo. The viewer offered odablock 100,000 Twitch Bits, which is worth $1,000, if the streamer could get the number 99 using the random number generator feature on Google....
