In Warzone, players will be able to take the fight to Die Hard‘s Nakatomi Corporation building, which will replace the Broadcast Tower. This will be the perfect place to live out your John McClane Christmas fantasy, with “five floors of a space that will be familiar to those who know and love the original Die Hard,” according to Activision, which also confirms the building will be the tallest structure in Verdansk ’84....
Perhaps. Yet it’s also fair to wonder if this change is temporary. We may now live in a world where superhero and Pixar movies can premiere on streaming, but the new year provides a new movie release calendar, and with it renewed commitments to bring audiences back to cinemas. There are exceptions, of course. WarnerMedia made 17 of them when they announced that, like Wonder Woman 1984, Warner Brothers’ entire 2021 film slate would simultaneously premiere in theaters and on HBO Max in the U....
The “Optimized for Xbox Series X/S” edition of Halo: MCC will run at up to 4K resolution on Series X and up to 120 frames per second, a big upgrade that should result in noticeable graphical improvements on consoles. It’s not quite the next-gen Halo experience Xbox fans were hoping for when the Xbox Series X was first revealed, but it’s certainly better than nothing. While Halo: MCC has enjoyed multi-platform popularity for quite some time thanks to the excellent PC ports released so far, the “Optimized for Xbox Series X/S” version gives the title something even more meaningful: a second shot at a console launch and a chance to correct the mistakes of the game’s Xbox One launch back in November 2014....
We don’t mean actual ghosts, obviously, we’re talking about all those precocious costumed youths in shoddily applied face paint having the audacity to knock on your door demanding some of the multipack of snack-size sweets you got from Tesco on the way home from work. Bought them for trick-or-treaters? Pffft. Those Haribo were all for you, and you know it. So embrace the darkness (and the sugar), draw the curtains, and shut out the world ready to scare yourself silly with these classic British TV ghost stories....
Containerization is a modern way of creating applications. Let’s dive into how the legacy system and its architecture hit a roadblock to the point when people started quoting, “My code does not work; I do not know why! Code works, but not sure why!” As the application grew, the definition of an application changed from just a piece of code to a set of code, binaries, configurations, and a running environment....
Despite his much maligned debut on the big screen, Green Lantern remains one of the characters DC movie fans keep asking to see in the DCEU the most. While Reynolds’ turn as the cosmic protector made waves for all the wrong reasons when it released, the latest DCEU movie to flirt with a Green Lantern cameo was the talk of Twitter for what it didn’t show: John Stewart in the flesh, appearing before Bruce Wayne to set up a future team up in a Justice League sequel that will likely never happen....
While some of those fan frustrations can be attributed to their “But I want it now!” outlook, the disappointment, confusion, and even anger over this recent delay certainly seems to have something to do with recent updates regarding Cyberpunk 2077‘s development which complicate how fans are dealing with this information. For example, you may recall that CD Projekt Red recently confirmed reports that they’ve asked their employees to begin working six-day weeks despite the studio’s previous promises not to institute a crunch schedule....
We will now look at database design best practices to ensure that data access is not a bottleneck that negatively affects application performance. What is the purpose of a good database design? In addition to improving data access performance, a good design achieves other benefits, such as maintaining data consistency, accuracy, and reliability and reducing storage space by eliminating redundancies. Another benefit of good design is that the database is easier to use and maintain....
Series one of E4 gamer flatshare comedy Dead Pixels – created by Jon Brown and executive produced by Bain and Armstrong – was built on a similar truth minus the façade of normality. Its leads were just as entertainingly idiotic as Mark and Jez, but their shared gaming obsession with MMORPG Kingdom Scrolls stripped them of any fitting-in pretence. Meg and Nicky (Alexa Davies and Will Merrick) were largely adjusted to their outsider status; their inner and outer voices one and the same: filthy, funny and quotable....
That’s a number that stands a testament to the potential of the PS5’s Game Help system, even as we wait to see whether or not more developers will ultimately choose to utilize that system over the long term. It’s also a number that could very well offer a somewhat unlikely solution to the debate over implementing an “Easy Mode” into Soulslike games. You’ve probably heard some variation of this debate before, but the basic argument sees one group of gamers suggest that Soulslike games should feature difficulty options designed to make the infamously difficult titles more accessible....
Dexter: New Blood Episode 10 “Open your eyes and look at what you’ve done!” When it was announced that Showtime would be reviving Dexter after almost a decade, I was more than dubious. One of the first prestige dramas that I truly loved, I jumped at the chance to review the series when I started writing for Den of Geek in 2012. Unfortunately, the seasons that I covered could be described as disappointing at best....
“Ms. America” Chavez is a relatively recent addition to Marvel canon. She was introduced by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in 2011’s Vengeance. She was raised by her two mothers in a utopian pocket dimension. Her moms both appeared to die closing black holes that threatened her city, and inspired by their heroism, she abandoned her reality for the multiverse. When she arrived on the main Marvel Earth, she joined the Teen Brigade and fought, among others, a teenage Loki....
Digimon Adventure tri. Movie Four I always welcome the chance to return to Digimon‘s Digital World. As much as some of my favorite adventures in Digimon’s history took place in the real world (Tai’s room in the second segment of Digimon: The Movie amirite?), the Digi World is where it all really started. Where everyone first met their partner Digimon. After the end of Confession, you’d be forgiven for thinking we’d be starting right back there with our team but nope....
Digimon Adventure tri. Movie Six A lot of the overriding problems with Digimon Adventure tri. can really be summed up in the treatment of season two kids. If you’ve been reading my reviews since the beginning you’ll be familiar with my near constant questioning of where the hell they’ve been this whole time. Well this movie finally answers that question and, like every other “resolution” it doesn’t feel earned, it’s lackluster, asks more questions than it answers, and is beyond confusing....
In Star Trek: The Original Series, the USS Enterprise never once visited a contemporary version of Earth. Yes, the crew often time-traveled to Earth of the past, but going to the 23rd century of Earth was totally passé. Obviously, the Trek franchise has visited future versions of Earth a ton since then, but in the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3—“People of Earth”—the Trek franchise seems to split the difference....
Disney announced Wednesday that it has cut a content licensing agreement with Sony Pictures, the steward of the cinematic version of Spider-Man (Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales, and all other Spider-Men going back to Tobey Maguire), to host the “Post Pay 1 Window” of all of Sony’s theatrical releases from 2022 to 2026 on Disney streaming services (Disney+ and Hulu), and Disney linear entertainment networks like ABC, Freeform, and FX....
It’s easily the coolest moment we’ve seen yet in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (maybe the second coolest, after a certain convening of several webslingers in Spider-Man: No Way Home): two-thirds of the way through Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Master of the Mystic Arts (Benedict Cumberbatch), stuck for the moment on Earth-838 in a different universe, is brought before the Illuminati, a council of superheroes who do their best to guide history and protect their realm....
For lovers of Marvel cameos and worldbuilding, the most exciting part of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness came about halfway through, when Strange is taken by Baron Mordo to face the Illuminati. First introduced in 2005’s New Avengers #7 (written by Brian Michael Bendis and penciled by Steve McNiven), the Illuminati consist of the biggest brains of the Marvel Universe. They exist to make difficult decisions about complex problems, such as sending the Hulk off-planet to prevent further destruction or ridding the Earth of a Skrull invasion....
12.1 Spyfall In mid-December, Den Of Geek popped along to an early screening of the Doctor Who series 12 premiere at a top-secret location in London. We are banned from saying anything spoilery, and nor would we want to, until the episode airs on New Year’s Day on BBC One. If you’re after some detail-light thoughts on the episode, though, you’ve come to the right place. We’re not going to get into story specifics, of course, but it seems okay to explain that Spyfall follows a similar sort of structure to the previous New Year’s episode, Resolution....
The announcement was made live on the BBC’s Children in Need charity fundraising show, after a host of comedy skits and real-life stories, and the ever-brilliant Mel Giedroyc performing a bespoke dance to the Doctor Who theme music (the lyrics are “zonga zonga” now. It’s official.) As a young soap actor Gibson follows in the footsteps of Jenna Coleman, who got her start in Emmerdale before becoming Clara Oswald and kick-starting a solid dramatic career....
