Callie Hernandez has enjoyed a very busy two years in front of and behind the camera, with her latest project beingInvention. But unlike the similarly lo-fi,character-drivenThe True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick, which I fell in love with after its SXSW premiere, this surreal spin on the documentary genre never quite finds the same rhythm or compelling grip. Hailing from Hernandez and Courtney Stephens, the latter of whom is in the director’s chair,Inventionacts as a mix of autobiography and metafiction, putting its star at the forefront....

Jurassic World Rebirthhas kicked off an all-new era of theJurassicsaga that can learn from the mistakes of the previous trilogy. Rather than featuring Owen and Claire, the movie instead follows a group of smugglers who go to an InGen test site to steal DNA from the island’s biggest dinosaurs. By the end of the film, the characters have successfully gathered the DNA and escaped the island. Instead of giving it to ParkerGenix as agreed upon, however,they decided to release it to the public, allowing everyone to benefit from potential medications....

Logitech just opened pre-orders for the Pro X 60, a stylish and ultra-compact gaming keyboard with a 1ms wireless response time. It’s a compelling option for on-the-go gamers with a $180 keyboard budget. TheLogitech Pro X 60features a compact, 60% layout, meaning that it lacks a numpad, arrow keys, and function row. While this isn’t the best design for data entry or other professions, it’s a highly portable and distraction-free option for gaming, especially if you use Logitech’s KEYCONTROL system to create custom control layouts....

First revealed in 2016 Announced back in the tail-end of 2016, it seemed likeDauntlesswould be relegated to early access for ages, but it finally has a release date: May 21. It’ll launch on PC (Epic Game store), PS4, and Xbox One all at once, so you don’t have to worry about a staggered release for those platforms at least. Since the game has been in early access for some time it’ll properly launch with season five alongside of a new “hunt pass,” which is basically the battle pass program (leveling up in the pass system unlocks cosmetics and currency) that every game has now followingDota 2andFortnite‘s popularization of the concept....

The developer continues to improve on the game with new maps, weapons, content, and more. But one group that has been missing out on theApex Legendsfun has been the Nintendo Switch playerbase, but that is likely about to change. Over the summer of 2020, Respawn announced that theNintendo Switch version ofApex Legendswas in development....

The date of the nextNintendo Directmay have just been narrowed down. Nintendo irregularly holds livestreamed, prerecorded Directs to announce what’s coming next for its games, hardware, and more. While these events are often unpredictable, they’re almost always the subject of near-infinite speculation, as fans and industry insiders alike attempt to guess at their dates before they’re announced. One such insider has a bold claim about the next Direct, and, while it’s not totally imminent, it may only be a short way away....

Though a vast majority ofOverwatchfan art focuses on the game’s existing hero roster, every once in a while a creative player shares a concept for a fully original hero. This is exactly what happened recently, as one clever member of theOverwatchcommunity shared a design for a Support hero named A.R.C. While a fan concept leading to an actual hero is highly unlikely, the design does drive home the idea thatOverwatchneeds more Support heroes....

Although they’re pretty faithful remakes of the original Nintendo DS games, fans have been combing throughPokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlfor any slight changes to the original Gen 4 titles. One fan ran across a major change in that their rival had chosen the same starter as they had, before beginning to think that they had run into a bizarre glitch. Posted to the sub-Reddit r/Pokemon, Reddit user u/nilewater claimed that they had chosen Piplup as their starter only to run into their rival in Hearthome city for their second fight for them to be using Prinplup instead of Grotle....

Once again, Marvel is making a change to thePunisher’s iconic skull symbol, prompting fan discussion of the logo’s real-world use and whether Marvel needs to retire it (and potentially even the character) for good. Fans seeing the new design could be forgiven for thinking that Marvel is continuing to avoid the classic logo, but there’s a twist… Frank Castle has had multiple different characterizations over the years, but at his heart, the character is a lethal vigilante who targets killer criminals, ‘punishing’ their crimes and protecting the innocent in the process....

The year saw the western launch of apretty good PS4 reboot, alongsidea new anime, agreat-looking stage show, and aslew of new trademarks, with a clearly stated intent torevitalize the brandfor the new decade.
