Netflix in Sept: Black Panther, Iron Fist, Walking Dead, More

Netflix isn’t fooling around when it comes to September, flooding our eyes and ears with a bunch of interesting, exciting things.

Firstly, just from a regular “here are some cool movies to watch” standpoint, there’s Unforgiven, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The Witch, Role Models, The River Wild, and Groundhog Day. Then there are some notable Disney offerings – from 2018’s Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time to Lilo & Stitch and The Emperor’s New Groove.

After that, the Netflix Orginals kick into overdrive with new seasons of Marvel’s Iron Fist, American Vandal, BoJack Horseman, and Atypical – plus new limited series Maniac, starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, and animated series The Dragon Prince, from the creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

PlayStation Finally Fixes Baffling PSN Search Bar (for Some Players)

Sony is finally rolling out a better way to search for content on the PlayStation Network.

Some IGN PS4 owners have noticed a revised search function while browsing the store, which means Sony is finally addressing an issue many fans have had since they first brought their consoles home.

The new search function incorporates the same virtual keyboard PS4 owners have used to enter credit card information or search for friends on the PSN for years.

In addition to creating a faster search tool, users will enjoy expanded functionality, as the tool can be used to search for games by name as well as by genre, studio, or even publisher.

The old scrolling search bar is still appearing for many players, and it is unclear when Sony plans to roll the update out to all PS4 owners. Polygon reports players allegedly in the new PlayStation firmware beta are also able to see the update, so the update may end up being part of the upcoming PlayStation firmware update 6.0.

PAX Organizers Issue Statement on Safety Following Jacksonville Shooting

In the wake of Sunday’s Madden Championship Series shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, Penny Arcade and partner ReedPOP have issued a statement regarding security for their upcoming PAX West convention.

Penny Arcade and ReedPOP wrote that their “hearts go out” to everyone affected by the shooting, which resulted in three deaths, including the shooter’s, and 11 injuries.

“The safety of our attendees, exhibitors, and staff is paramount to ReedPOP and Penny Arcade,” reads the statement. “As PAX has grown in popularity, we have responded with the addition of increased private security, law enforcement, and other personnel, each of whom are on-site at all times during our events.”

PES 2019 Review

PES 2019 makes an interesting distinction. It’s not a game about football so much as it is a game about the guys playing football. And exactly how they play it – their behaviours, tendencies, and individual techniques – makes for a livelier game. No longer are you a massive deity in the sky moving generic pieces around a pitch, nor should you think of your team as a collection of stats. Here, players take on a life of their own.

The biggest development is a feature called Magic Moments. This refers to a set of 39 RPG-like traits that are distributed across the roster of players in combinations that give each of them their own personality. So, for instance, only gifted shooters like Kevin De Bruyne can hit ferocious rising thunder-bastards that rifle into the net, while Ronaldo’s headers are practically laser-guided. Magic Moments go further than merely adding new moves, though. They also offer effects such as fighting spirit (which gives players better performance when fatigued), super sub (where players improve if brought on in the second half), and man marking (which enables a player to more doggedly stick to opponents). What’s good is these animations happen automatically, whether a pinpoint cross or an acrobatic clearance off the goal line, triggering by themselves if you’re in the right time and place. This makes players feel as distinct to control as they are to watch.

Cyberpunk Devs Discuss the New Gameplay Demo

Since its first demo at E3, Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of the most talked-about games of 2018. Both the E3 and Gamescom versions of the behind-closed-doors demo offered an in-depth look at the first-person sci-fi RPG, and now that 50-minute gameplay sequence has been released to the general public.

What’s Coming To / Leaving Netflix In September 2018 (US): Movies, TV Shows, Netflix Originals

Ah, September. That wonderful month when half of us begin our struggle of going back to school. At least Netflix has a bunch of new movies, TV shows, and original series for those weekend binge sessions. There’s a lot of new goodies this coming month, although we’re losing quite a few movies and series as well. Here’s the full rundown on what’s new and leaving in September 2018.

The big addition in September is Black Panther, the Marvel superhero movie that took the world by storm this past February. If you happened to miss out on this celebration of African culture–which we described as “a top tier Marvel movie with all the humor, style, action, passion, and fun that the MCU has come to embody” in our Black Panther review–then now’s your chance. Other film highlights coming in September are Groundhog Day, Scarface, Bruce Almighty, The Breakfast Club, Lilo & Stitch, The Emperor’s New Groove, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Netflix exclusive Next Gen.

The list of new TV shows isn’t as impressively large, but there are a few stellar options being added. Both Bojack Horseman and Stranger Things are getting new seasons. If you like staying appraised of everything going on in the MCU, Iron Fist is also returning another season.

If animation is your thing, new anime series Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan–about a rookie air force pilot who finds herself being chosen as the destined rider for an actual dragon–and animated series The Dragon Prince–which is created by the same folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender–debut on Netflix this September.

Of the movies and TV shows being removed, Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are the two noticeable standouts. If you want to watch either movie again, do so soon before they’re gone for good.

Game of Thrones Reveals Super Brief Season 8 First Look

HBO has shared a first brief look at Game of Thrones’ upcoming final season.

The network released a trailer, via EW, showing what’s coming to HBO in 2019, which includes the return of Game of Thrones. While almost all of the Game of Thrones footage featured in the trailer is from Season 7, there is one new shot of Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner).

The two characters can be seen reuniting in Winterfell, embracing each other.

Fans will have to wait a bit longer for Game of Thrones’ return, as Season 8 is set to premiere in the first half of 2019.

Melissa McCarthy Just Had the Worst Opening of Her Career

Actress Melissa McCarthy returned to theaters this weekend with her outlandish R-rated puppet comedy The Happytime Murders, although it managed to underperform with just over $10 million in third place. The opening is actually the worst of McCarthy’s career, for a movie opening in wide release, and when you take a closer look at the movie’s she’s opened, they often aren’t very consistent. With that in mind, we’re taking a deep dive through McCarthy’s previous films, and how they debuted at the box office.

There are movies McCarthy has appeared in that have opened worse than The Happytime Murders, but these are movies where she only had a minor role, like The Life of David Gale ($7.1 million), Drowning Mona ($5.8 million), White Oleander ($5.6 million) and Go ($4.7 million). There are also others which had worse debuts, since they were only given a limited debut such as St. Vincent ($109,878 from four theaters), The Nines ($23,617 from two theaters) and Pretty Ugly People ($2,522 from three theaters). Still, with those movies aside, The Happytime Murders marked a new career low for McCarthy.

‘Netflix for Comics’ App Coming to Nintendo Switch

InkyPen, a new comic subscription service, will be brought to the Nintendo Switch this November, making it possible for users to read comics on the handheld device. It will also be the first international non-game app to come to the eShop on the Switch, according to Variety.

The app will let comics be read in either the handheld or TV mode and will be launching at $8 per month. InkyPen will have a library of over 10,000 graphic novels, manga, and European comics.
