Some series will never be able to change their protagonist. They may be able to have someone else in the lead role for a spin-off or DLC, but they will never be able to have a newcomer or side character take over permanently. This is because they’re so synonymous with the series itself. Mario will always need to be in Super Mario, while The Legend of Zelda will never be the same without Link....
Doing something all in one shot, whether it be a TV episode or feature-length film, is still a revolutionary idea and very daring to attempt. However, Netflix’s gripping, chart-topping series Adolescence has reignited the focus on this impressive technique,as all four of its episodes were filmed as one continuous shot, requiring some innovative camerawork, top-notch acting skills, and an incredible crew. It might seem like an impossible feat, but there are a fewmoviesout there that are entirely filmed as one long take or consist of really well-edited scenes to give off the illusion that the movie was done as a continuous one-shot take....

I did it. I finally actually did it. The year is 2025, the world is a mess, morale is at an all-time low, and I bought V-Bucks inFortnite. I never played much Fortnite. I tried it out in its early days, plus when it launched on Nintendo Switch, and then I played a bit more when Lego Fortnite dropped, but I didn’t stick with it at any point. I was also one of those people who would laugh at the mere thought of Fortnite, thinking it was below me or whatever nonsense I convinced myself of....
Summary Hasbro has teamed up with the NFL for a very unique collection ofTransformersaction figures. These new toys don’t transform into trucks, cars, or planes - they transform into officially licensed NFL helmets, each of which is attributed to a different franchise. Before you get too excited, there isn’t a Transformer for all 32 teams in the NFL, although I’m assuming that might one day be the goal if this first batch of figures is popular enough....
Video game development is so fascinating. Who would have thought that the team most famous for makingNidhogg, a delightfully violent and mega-viral competitive fencing game, would then follow it up with an open-world bike riding adventure? It’s like finding out Quentin Tarantino is directingThe Legend of Zelda movie. I guess good game devs stick to their genre, but great ones can make awesome games in any genre. I took Wheel World for a test ride during GDC in San Francisco last month alongside Messhof’s Mark Essen and Kristy Norindr, and it ended up being one of my favorite games of the week....

Summary Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s recent massive update has added even more fuel to the fire for Hans and Henry’s romance, as a poem can now be found under a bed that’s clearly referencing it. Perhaps unsurprisingly considering the history surrounding the first game,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has faced a fair bit of controversy since it launched. While most agree that it’s afantastic game and a big step up from the first, it still ended up being a big part of the ongoing culture war due to some of its inclusions....
