New York Times Connections Game – Something Off About the NYT’s Newest Wordle Competitor?

New York Times Connections Game | Image Credit: mashable.com The New York Times' (NYT) foray into the world of daily word puzzles began with the wildly successful Wordle. Now, with Connections, launched in beta in June 2023, the NYT is offering a new challenge that has some players scratching their heads. While both games involve wordplay and logic, Connections presents a distinct set of frustrations that threaten to mar the experience for some. Connections: A Different Kind of Wordplay Unlike Wordle, which focuses on guessing a single five-letter word within six tries, Connections presents players with a grid of 16 words. The objective is to categorize these words into four groups of four, each sharing a hidden thematic connection. Players have four attempts to correctly assign e...

Why Fortnite isn't working | Image Credit: playbite.com The second season of Fornite Chapter 5 was supposed to launch on March 8, so why aren't servers working?

Manga creator Akira Toriyama of “Dragon Ball” passes away at age 68

Manga creator Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball Akira Toriyama, the immensely acclaimed Japanese manga creator who helped shape the 1980s "Dragon Ball" brand and guided its expansion into a worldwide sensation, passed away on March 1 from an acute subdural haemorrhage. He was sixty-eight. The official "Dragon Ball" website verified Toriyama's passing by publishing a tribute to the creator on Thursday night. We sincerely apologise that he still had a number of works in the process of being enthusiastically created. Furthermore, he would have a great deal more to do," the statement from Bird Studio states, adding a caveat that it was machine-translated. "He has left this earth with several manga titles and artistic creations. He has had the opportunity to pursue his artistic endeavours ...

Every Voice Actor and Chief Vocalist in Nightingale

Voice Actor and Chief Vocalist in Nightingale | Image Credit: thenerdstash.com Does any voiceover sound familiar to you? Realmwalker, it ought should. Without a human and personality, the bizarre and terrifying landscapes of Inflexion's latest survival game would seem empty. For this reason, Nightingale benefits from having a diverse ensemble of voice actors and vocalists to add some flair. It's inspiring to witness such a powerful performance from experts who genuinely enjoy what they do, and it's evident when you explore the worlds they build. The game includes fewer speaking parts since Nightingale has a rather toned-down human or humanoid presence. But no matter how few people inhabit a planet, every little thing helps to bring it to life, from individual voice snippets to lar...

Inside the Hidden Realm of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Auditions on Netflix

Avatar: The Last Airbender' Auditions on Netflix | Image Credit: knightedgemedia.com Imagine showing up to an audition with your script in hand only to discover that the scene you've been painstakingly practicing isn't what it looks like. For performers competing for parts in Netflix's eagerly awaited live-action version of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," this was the reality. The actors—Ken Leung, who was cast as Zhao—were handed sequences that had nothing to do with the adored series because of how tightly the auditions were kept secret. Rather, they discovered themselves enmeshed in business intrigue inside an investment bank. This unusual casting strategy is only a hint of the extent Netflix is willing to go to in order to maintain project confidentiality. Interesting Article: Shou...

Evaluate Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – Metropolis’s Mediocrity

Evaluate Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - Metropolis's Mediocrity | Image Credit: gamefile.news With the Arkham trilogy, Rocksteady Studios produced some of the greatest superhero games ever made, but that reputation for excellence only makes things worse. Kill the Justice League with the Suicide Squad. Similar to Two-Face's complexion, one cannot ignore the terrible scars on one when positioned next to the stunning beauty on the other. My affection for Task Force X was not destroyed by KtJL, but once the live-service grind starts, there's little fun and much less charm to be found. It's the outcome of extraordinary skill being directed in all the wrong places, from Harley Quinn's gunplay to Metropolis's aesthetics. It's difficult for me as a fan. Review of Suicide Squad: Kil...

10 Dreamcast games that are really valuable

10 Dreamcast games | Image Credit: racketboy.com The final Sega home system to be released was the Dreamcast. It was a huge hit, and a lot of the beloved games we play now sprang from that troubled system. Sadly, it couldn't keep up with the times, so now we can only commemorate its North American birthday on September 9th each year. Collectors are still looking for games for the platform even though it never made it into the present day. Dreamcast collectors have a strange affinity for Capcom games and sequels. 10. Gunbird 2 – $100 (2000) For a time now, Shmup has truly had the Dreamcast under control. Although it wasn't the best game in the category, Gunbird 2 was an improvement over the Sega Saturn version of the first one. Digital editions for the PC and even the Switch have b...

Tony Hawk’s Call of Duty – Activision’s scrapyard also has another cancelled game

Cancelled Call of Duty sci-fi game from Tony Hawk | Image Credit: eurogamer.net Surprisingly, information on a second aborted Call of Duty game has surfaced more than ten years later. The fact that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games were made by the same people that worked on this game's development behind the scenes, however, is what makes it intriguing. This abandoned project was called Call of Duty: Future Warfare, or CoD NX1, and it's not the first Call of Duty game that was never released. Why Was the NX1 Call of Duty Announced? Activision purchased the California-based Neversoft firm in 1999. The Spider-Man, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games among the studio's most well-known productions from the past. However, following the release of Medal of Honor 2009, severa...
