Comic for Wednesday 5/25 (Early High Res)
It's been reported that EA is/has been looking to sell or merge with a larger company. They pursued a deal with NBCUniversal for a time before it fell through, as well as talks with Apple and Disney.
I imagine its been a hard sell XD

It feels like every single movie or episode of TV that comes out these days has websites/youtubers scrambling to put out an "Explained!" article. Who are these for? Obviously people click on them or they wouldn't be proliferating so much. Are there really so many people out there incapable of parsing what they just saw on screen?

So Blizzard is getting sued again (seems to be their new hobby), this time by a father who is upset that his child bought a bunch of Hearthstone card packs and can't refund them after getting garbage.
Polygon reported on it here, but the gist is this: Dad gives his daughter access to a device connected to his credit card, and over the course of thr...

Because I have limited time and a million games I'd love to play, I often find myself engaged in a lot of devil's advocacy. Weighing the pros and the cons, attempting to quantify how many "entertainment hours" each of my dollars might buy me and whether that ratio qualifies a game to be a contender for my precious minutes, listing all of the reasons I shouldn't buy a new game, etc.
To a point, this sort of a screening process is valuable, because it helps pare down the games I most wan...

I'm sure we're all familiar with the bittersweet heartache that comes with finishing a game we really enjoyed. Glad for the journey, but sad that the road has come to an end. My eight-year-old is really struggling with it right now.
My boys play games like tablet games like Subway Surf, and Roblox on their tablets; they're not my favorite, but its what their friends play, so c'est la vie. However I do try to encourage them to broaden their horizons and play more substantial, meatier ga...

I feel this is basically a law of the universe: If you express on the internet that you found any level/boss/game challenging, there is at least one condescending person out there that has to chime in to tell you that they didn't find it difficult.
Bonus points if they suggest you lower the difficulty/"git gud"/play a different game.

I can't figure out what Overwatch 2 is supposed to be.
I mean, I've read as much as I can about the "sequel", I know there are some new heroes, tweaks to existing ones, their fancy new "fuck supports" feature... eventually there will be some single player maps nobody knows anything about? But new heroes, new maps, some balance tweaks... isn't that what they've been doing for the past five years? I'm struggling to see how any of it amounts to more than another update (or series ...

I don't even remember what game it was... but checking backwards paid off once, and now I'm cursed to check there forever (along with most every other nook and offshoot).

King Arthur: Knight's Tale finally left Early Access last month, and I've had it on my wishlist for quite some time. I'm a sucker for Tactics games, and this one has landed pretty well for me. It's got most of what I want in a good tactics game: the puzzle of figuring out each battle in the most efficient way possible, with the least damage to my crew, a bunch of cool items and skills ...

May the 4th be with you!
Blizzard has announced another mobile spinoff of a popular franchise people are still waiting for a proper new installment of. I can only surmise that after the negative reaction last time, they came to the conclusion that people actually didn't have phones, and that's why they were upset.
Even worse, while Diablo Immorta...
