Colin Kaepernick Returns To Madden After 4 Year Absence

Colin Kaepernick is back. Not quite in the NFL, but the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned activist has returned to Madden for the first time in four years. Referring to Kaepernick as “one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback,” EA Sports announced his arrival in Madden NFL 21, the officially licensed NFL game, on social media. The quarterback’s 2016 decision to kneel during pregame performances of the national anthem, in protest of racial injustice in the United States, effectively blackballed him from the league....

Daisy Ridley Wants To Play Spider Woman In Sony S Marvel Universe

Daisy Ridley has addressed the rumors surrounding her potential inclusion in a future Spider-Woman movie. One of the biggest parts any actor can land in cinema today is a role in the MCU. It feels as if just about everyone has become a part of it at this point, but there are still so many who remain out in the cold. Lucky for those actors, or at least the ones who want to be a part of it, there are plenty more upcoming roles in the MCU left to fill, including some that haven’t even been confirmed to exist....

Damien Chazelle Breaks Down Babylon S Sordid Hollywood History

This article contains Babylon spoilers. Despite the lurid imagery associated with Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s three-hour bacchanal of a movie about Golden Age Hollywood, it wasn’t wretched excess or decadence which first caught Chazelle’s imagination. Nor was it the glamor and gaudiness associated with a new (read: low) art form in those heady days when the silent era gave way to the earliest sound films. Rather the inciting idea for Babylon is borne from a simple yet disturbing bit of trivia on the mortality rate in Los Angeles—and how the number of deaths seemingly caused by suicide rose precipitously during the late 1920s and early ‘30s....

Dark Souls 3 Mod Brings Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Weapons To The Game

Over the years the Dark Souls 3 fandom has proven to be one of the strongest gaming communities around. Despite five years having passed since the game’s release, and the single-player focus of the game, the Dark Souls 3 online community is still incredibly active. While Dark Souls fans were clamoring for Dark Souls 4 at The Game Awards 2017, FromSoftware instead decided to drop Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a Soulslike game which has received critical acclaim in its own right....

Dark Souls Memes That Are Too Hilarious For Words

It takes a special breed of gamer to play Dark Souls. The kind of gamer that played through all of the original Contra without using a single continue. The kind of gamer that played Snake to the point where the entire screen was completely full. The kind of gamer that played Faster Than Light, and won. In other words, Dark Souls gamers are masochists of the highest order; they derive the most pleasure from games that put them in the most pain....

Destiny Iron Banner Returns December 29 With Ps Exclusive Armor

Bungie’s Twitter account reveals that Guardians will have their hands full this holiday season, as Destiny’s Iron Banner event is set to return in just a couple of weeks time. According to the announcement, Iron Banner will be made available to players once again after the conclusion of the Sparrow Racing League, which will presumably end before December 29, the official return date for Destiny’s popular PvP event.

Destiny 2 What Is The Cosmodrome

The Cosmodrome is returning in Beyond Light, Destiny 2’s upcoming expansion. But if you’re a New Light player, you might not know what the Cosmodrome is. Allow us to illuminate. Every Destiny 2 player that has played the game since the release of Shadowkeep, last year’s big expansion, has already been to the Cosmodrome. Players that got into Destiny 2 but never played the original have also likely been to the Cosmodrome in a limited fashion, while Destiny 1 players will remember the Cosmodrome as not only the place where their journeys began but also a destination not at all dissimilar to the EDZ currently on Earth....

Capcom Deletes 2008 Tweets About Cinnamon Flavoured Urinal Cakes And Other Weird Stuff

It’s been a weird week for Twitter, and that’s putting it lightly. After the controversial banning of certain accounts, which garnered a ton of attention from the media, users seem to be a lot more conscious of what they’ve been putting on the site. While Twitter is now a massive social media platform on which nearly every major company has a presence, that wasn’t always the case. Back in the mid-to-late 2000s, standards for interaction on the platform had yet to be established....
