What Did You Think of Tonight’s South Park?

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

As enjoyable as South Park’s multi-episode storylines can be, sometimes it seems like there’s no winning with these more ambitious efforts. Either the core joke driving the story gets played out over time, or else the series works so hard to keep drawing in new ideas and timely news stories that the whole thing becomes unwieldy and collapses under its own weight. With “Nobody Got Cereal?”, the show definitely erred on the side of the former. That’s probably for the best, though it’s just as well the writers didn’t try to stretch this one out to three episodes.

The basic ingredients this week were more or less identical to last week’s stellar “Time to Get Cereal” – everybody ripping on Al Gore, ManBearPig as a metaphor for the looming threat of climate change, Red Dead Redemption 2 as the town’s current distraction of choice, etc. Given how little this episode strayed off the beaten path in that regard, it was inevitable that the novelty would wear off sooner or later. That sense of familiarity prevented “Nobody Got Cereal?” from reaching the heights of its predecessor.

Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn Spinoff Movie Casts Its Cassandra Cain

Birds of Prey has reportedly landed its final main actress, as Ella Jay Basco is in negotiations to play Cassandra Cain, aka, Batgirl.

As reported by Variety, the young actress has only had a handful of roles in Grey’s Anatomy, Veep and Happyland. The plot of Birds of Prey will reportedly see Cain protected by Harley Quinn, Huntress and Black Canary after she comes across a diamond that belongs to Gotham City kingpin Black Mask.

DC’s Best Comic Ends on a Fitting Note

It’s hard not to approach the twelfth and final chapter of Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ Mister Miracle without a fair amount of trepidation and sadness. Not just because this issue marks the end of what has quite possible been DC’s most consistently great comic over the past year-ish, but also because we’re finally faced with the ultimate mystery of the series.

Is this story real? Has this massive war between light and dark gods actually been happening? Is Scott Free hallucinating some sort of alternate life as he bleeds out after failing to escape death? Is this all some fractured reality generated by the Anti-Life Equation? At some point it’s difficult to picture a truly satisfying answer to these questions. And so it’s only fitting that King and Gerads’ answer boils down to “It doesn’t really matter.”

Warframe Review – 2018

There aren’t many games that make me feel as cool as Warframe does when I’m bullet-jumping through the air at breakneck speeds. While this free-to-play co-op shooter has wildly outgrown its original “space ninja” reputation since it first came out in 2013 – adding open-world areas, deep story missions, and even a hoverboard with a Tony Hawk-style scoring system – it’s the way it makes everything you do feel fast, powerful, and just plain awesome that keeps me coming back to its almost-endless well of loot.

Warframe is a dense game – a tangled ball of yarn made up of almost six years of updates, additions, system reworks, and content drops. Its different bits and pieces overlap and twist together in a way that can make it overwhelming to even think about trying to untangle it all, but it also means that there’s an almost inconceivable amount of deep and often extremely entertaining content to discover once you do.

WWE Survivor Series: Every Elimination Match In The PPV’s History

Sports entertainment giant WWE has four major events every single year, one of which is Survivor Series. These PPVs take place during each season, and many WWE fans consider these events to be the highlight shows of the year. The next major PPV coming to the WWE Network is none other than Survivor Series, and the show traditionally has two teams competing against each other in elimination tag matches. Usually, teams of five eliminate each other, one by one, until only one wrestler is left standing.

Since Raw and Smackdown are currently shows where the superstars don’t crossover to fight each other, Survivor Series has become one of the few events of the year where wrestlers from the Monday night programming take on the Tuesday night show. In addition to these elimination matches, WWE has the champions of both Raw and Smackdown face each other, which is the only time of the year you can see this event.

This year’s event is coming to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, November 18. Survivor Series kicks off on PPV and on the WWE Network at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, and while a Kickoff Show has not been announced yet, we’re speculating there will be a two-hour long preshow, much like the other “Big Four” WWE PPVs.

This is the 32nd annual Survivor Series from WWE, which dates back to 1987. Since the focus of the event are the Elimination Tag Matches, we’re taking a look through the history of WWE to look at every single traditional Survivor Series match in the history of WWE. On each slide, the winners are presented first for each match, unless noted otherwise. So check out every single Survivor Series Elimination Tag match from this iconic PPV.

Note: Neither 1998 or 2002 had a Survivor Series match, so they don’t appear on this list.

From Game Journalist to Game Developer: What It’s Like

In the world of video games, it’s not uncommon to see a large amount of career shifting. Game designers turn into business executives, video editors become award-winning actors, and sometimes journalists become game developers themselves.

That’s exactly what happened to Joe Fielder, who worked at GameSpot as an editor throughout the 90’s. On this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered, Fielder spoke with host Ryan McCaffrey on how the transition from journalist to developer panned out in a successful career helping to design games like BioShock Infinite and the new Underworld Ascendant.

Just Cause 4: Showcasing Every Extreme Weather Type – IGN First

Mother Nature, clearly unhappy at being shown up for a while, has turned up in Just Cause to make our hulking human weaponry look like BB guns loaded with rabbit turds.

Yes, the weather is quite possibly the most dangerous thing in Just Cause 4, with Avalanche introducing four extreme variants to the open world. In our latest IGN First drop, we introduce you to every type, where you’ll find them, and how exactly they’ll lead to Rico’s untimely death.

Joe Skrebels is IGN’s UK News Editor, and he’s now frightened of thundersnow after looking it up. Follow him on Twitter.

Ralph Breaks the Internet Review

In no small feat, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a sweet, funny and worthy follow-up to the Oscar-nominated 2012 Wreck-It Ralph. The sequel finds room to grow on the original film’s premise by exploring not only a larger world beyond video games but also new and more complicated dimensions to the core friendship at the heart of these movies.

Gaming remains a factor this time around — especially when Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope’s (Sarah Silverman) online journey leads them into the absurdly dangerous and over-the-top GTA-style game Slaughter Race — and the quest to save Vanellope’s “home” Sugar Rush from extinction is the plot’s main objective. But the Internet, as the movie’s title makes obvious, is the main subject of this keen parody, and this shifts the focus from the past (nostalgia for classic games) to the present. Everything from viral videos to the dark web to online shopping gets ribbed here.

How Eevee Evolved Into a Pokemon Sensation

Pikachu is the mascot for the Pokemon franchise, so there’s little wonder why the electric mouse is featured on one version of the upcoming Pokemon: Let’s Go games for Nintendo Switch. The other version features Eevee, a Pokemon that has never been used as a selling point for an entire game, but that’s no reason to think Eevee doesn’t belong on the cover. Eevee has been a fan-favorite since its inception and has gone on to become one of the most beloved Pokemon in the series.

Pokemon: Let’s Go is modeled after 1998’s Pokémon Yellow Version for GameBoy, where the player starts off with a Pikachu while the player’s rival gets an Eevee. That’s one reason Pokemon: Let’s Go game director Junichi Masuda said he chose Eevee for this starring role – there’s a precedent for these two going head-to-head early on in the franchise.
