Praise Deedlit If I had to make a “top 10 best anime of all time” list, theRecord of Lodoss WarOVA series (sorry, Spark) would probably be on it. With a timeless animation style it really nails the feel of a Tolkien-esque adventure in all the right ways, backed up by a strong supporting cast. One of those cast members is Deedlit: a high elf who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Her memorable traits and character design have lived on for all these years even when the series remained dormant (sporadic manga volumes are about all we get now), and the reason why she’s headlining a brand newRecord of Lodoss Wargame....

3D-printed I’ve posted about tons of different custom Switch docks this past year and I kind of want all of them. It’s not feasible to constantly change them out for each season (though it’s tempting), mostly because of how pricey a lot of them are. That includes this amazing Poké Ball dock from this Etsy seller, which goes for £70. It’s from Senpai3D, the same person who created this (also amazing)Mario Odysseydock, which tempted me earlier this year....

2B 2Cute Square Enix and Trading Arts have announced that they will release boxsets of mini figurines, based on characters from 2017’s emo-smashNieR: Automata. The box-set features 10 randomly assorted figures from a collection of 11 characters, including one “secret” character. The range features stars 2B, 9S, A2, Operator 210 and Machine, with each character receiving his or her own variant. Although that amounts to ten figures, and there are ten figures in each box, it appears that the fashionable “You don’t know what you’re getting” schtick is in effect....

ManyDestiny 2players eagerly await each weekly reset that comes throughout the seasons. InSeason of the Wish, that has meant newStarcats, narrative missions, and evena few surprises. Weekly resets are the harbinger of change, marking the day and time players can expect the latest content to arrive in-game. But some may wonder precisely when these resets happen and what they entail. BecauseDestiny2 is a live service game, Bungie never ceases adding content....

Any attempt to open his cell is blocked by the need for a certain Quarry Guard Key, so if you haven’t found it yet, here’s where you may. How to get the Quarry Guard Key inNo Rest For The Wicked(Map) Unlike most other keys inNo Rest For The Wicked, the Quarry Guard Key is rather hidden and well out of the way....

No-one dressed like that in 1994 “This would be great on Nintendo Switch” is an over-used and often-derided statement, but sometimes its more than apt. This is one of those times, as DotEmu’s port of classic ’90s Frisbee titleWindjammersis finally making its way to the Nintendo hybrid console. As announced during this weekend’s ongoing EVO event, The retro-futuristic Data East title, which has enjoyed a new lease of life in recent years, will be arriving on the Switch later this year, a direct port of 2017’s PS4 and PS Vita release....

While it of course feels great to be the hero and save the day, there are many tabletop games that can be just as fun when you’re embracing a more villainous or morally grey role instead. Tired of thwarting evil plans and feel like hatching a few of your own? With the ten board games on this list, you can scheme, sabotage, and backstab your way to victory. 1.Letters from Whitechapel Jack the Ripper takes center stage inLetters from Whitechapel,a hidden movement game that centers around the police’s efforts to catch the infamous villain before he can claim his next victim....

Tale as old as time zones I’ve done long-distance relationships before. Twice, actually. The first one didn’t work out. The second has (so far at least). But both were hard. Being physically apart from someone you love may be easier today with our current technology, but that can bring in its own complications. That’s whatA Fold Apartis all about. Two people separated by time zones, trying to stay connected through phone calls, emails, and text messages....

Paradise found TheYakuzateam’s take onFist of the North Staris lookingabout as ridiculousas you’d hope and expect. Kenshiro does his old routine. Muscle-bound thugs explode real good. It’s fun for the whole family! (Well maybe not that last part.) Today’s trailer is all about the game’s one-versus-many combat. I’m picturing someone with zero frame of reference forFist of the North Stargoing out on a limb to watch thisLost Paradisetrailer, and I’m filled with life....

Since its debut in 1993,Magic: The Gatheringhas evolved both on and off the table. With over 170+ sets released and dozens of crossovers, Wizards of the Coast are aiming to expand MTG for decades to come. It was just over 30 years ago when you had to purchase a single starter deck and booster pack to begin your journey as a Planeswalker. Nowadays, players have loads of options for adding to their collection or building their decks; perhaps too many options....

The game’s long-time-coming reveal will happen after August, Bloomberg reports After surfacing in October 2018 withpromising yet far-from-finished leaked footage, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s open-worldHarry PotterRPG has stayed out of sight. The publisher still hasn’t announced the game (due to E3’s cancellation), but that doesn’t mean it was scrapped or put on hold.
