If you were thinking of skipping the pre-show and just tuning in for the main segment, however, you might want to plan to arrive early instead. Gamescom’s Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley said this week that the pre-show before Opening Night Live will include eight additional world premiere announcements....

Rockstar Games is giving GTA Online players the chance to score a rare and valuable piece of loot from the vaults of the Cayo Perico Heist, but only for a limited time. The object in question is the Panther Statue, a sapphire-studded statue of a panther that’s worth a ton of in-game cash. It’s a guaranteed find in the Cayo Perico heist that’ll be available once until it’s brought back at a later date, so make sure you find it and get out with it so as not to miss out on the opportunity while it’s here....

Jeopardy!’s entire panel ended up getting stumped by a Dave Chappelle clue. In a category named Funny Business, the beloved comedian was the $2000 answer. (Credit to @car_ideas for the clip) Their clue about his role in A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga left all three contestants sitting there completely dumbfounded. Now, for the average viewer sitting at home, maybe Chappelle isn’t an obvious celebrity. But, considering his appearance on Saturday Night Live last fall ended up being a giant cultural moment for a large percentage of the country, it probably should have registered....

Kingdom’s third season has had to deal with a lot during its run time, having to juggle its air dates with the coronavirus pandemic and more recently, a typhoon that caused the latest episode to be delayed as a result of the “act of god,”. However, season three has started up once again, with the anime series retelling Chinese history releasing a brand new key visual and trailer to help show fans of the series what is in store when it comes to the battle that sees the Qin Kingdom dealing with new problems as a part of the Alliance Arc....

Lil Nas X says that he’s playing Miles Morales in live-action. The pop star made his way to the Spider-Man meet-up between Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield. GQ had an event for the Spider-Man: No Way Home star and the pictures spiraling out of that event have the entire Internet talking.

Capcom revealed just a few weeks back that Monster Hunter Rise is slated to come to PC in early 2022. The game, which launched earlier this year on Nintendo Switch, has been a massive success for the Japanese game publisher over the course of 2021, but in the wake of its PC launch date announcement, many fans started to request new features for the title. Namely, a number of Monster Hunter Rise players were hoping that cross-saves and cross-play functions would end up coming about between Switch and PC versions of the game....

NetherRealm Studios boss Ed Boon – the creator of both Mortal Kombat and Injustice – has teased the Chicago-based studio’s next game, and it sounds like it’s neither Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3, like various rumors have suggested in the past. In 2011, NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat (Mortal Kombat 9), which rebooted the series. Two years later in 2013, it released Injustice: Gods Among Us. Two years from here, in 2015, it released Mortal Kombat X....

Some new photos give fans their closest look at what a live-action Cal Kestis from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order would look like. Respawn’s 2019 game was a massive hit with Star Wars fans after EA had largely avoided doing narrative-driven games in the franchise. The publisher had mainly focused on mobile titles and the generally well-received Battlefront sub-franchise, but many wished for a return to the days where they’d get a single-player story set in the galaxy far, far away....

The Devil Is a Part Timer! is finally coming back for Season 2! Part of being an anime fan is the unfortunate experience of watching an incredible first season of 12 or 13 episodes, and soon finding out that a second season has not been greenlit. This has left many major fan favorite projects on the cutting room floor, and fans have been carrying torches for them for quite some time....

Former WWF Women’s Champion Madusa was officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2015. However, despite finding success in both the WWF and WCW in the 1990s, Blayze (also known as Alundra Blayze) never truly had a retirement match. She took part in the Pittsburgh Plunge Scaffold match with The Franchise, Torrie Wilson and Billy Kidman at WCW Fall Brawl back in 2000 and has popped up on WWE programming a few times in recent years (including taking part in a battle royale at the 2018 Evolution pay-per-view and winning the 24/7 Championship in 2019)....

We’ve known for a few years that anytime we hear Groot (Vin Diesel) speak, he’s legitimately communicating with the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Even though the audience always hears “I am Groot,” Guardians filmmaker James Gunn writes out the exact words Groot says in special versions of the script that Diesel receives. Now that one viral video about the topic is going around social media, Gunn himself has stepped in to confirm what is and isn’t accurate....

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a unique story within the realm of anime, not just thanks to the inclusion of Stands, but also with each part deciding to follow a different protagonist who all, at some level, have a link to a family known as the Joestars.

Many were thrilled, but a lot of audiences still weren’t familiar with his work....

The very first Iron Man movie showed just how resourceful Tony Stark can be, no matter how grave a situation, while Thor reminded us just how convenient it can be to have a massive hammer handy. While we might not have the genius intellect of Tony Stark nor the immortal weaponry of an Asgardian, Toynk Toys is giving Marvel fans the next best thing, which are sets of tools modeled after the iconic characters....
