The Acolyte's Bite-Sized Star Wars Episodes Are Getting Really Annoying
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-acolytes-bite-sized-star-wars-episodes-are-getting-really-annoying/1100-6524697/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
I have been cautiously enjoying The Acolyte--through six episodes, I think it's really good, actually (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-acolyte-review-not-messing-around/1900-6418234/). But as a TV viewing experience, The Acolyte has gotten supremely irritating because each episode is so bizarrely short. All of them come in under 40 minutes if you subtract the "previously on" segments and lengthy end credits--and each of the last three came in at or under 30 minutes. This is fast becoming the biggest gripe about this series, because it feels like each episode ends jarringly just when we're getting into it.This isn't a new problem for Star Wars, since the first season of The Mandalorian had a similar issue. But those were self-contained stories, with Mando and Baby Yoda going on a different adventure each week. As the live-action Star Wars TV universe grew from there, the episodes generally got longer. While there are short episodes of Andor, for instance, that show feels like it constructed its episodes with whatever length made the most sense. That's also generally been the case for Season 3 of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ashoka--they had some long ones, and they had some short ones, and episode length stopped being much of a topic for a while.Warning: There will be various spoilers for The Acolyte, through Episode 6, throughout this article.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-acolytes-bite-sized-star-wars-episodes-are-getting-really-annoying/1100-6524697/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
How To Make A Starter House In Minecraft
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-make-a-starter-house-in-minecraft/1100-6524698/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Oftentimes, the most challenging part of playing Minecraft (https://www.gamespot.com/games/minecraft/) is when you spawn into a world for the first time. That's because you come into the world with nothing, and things can quickly become overwhelming if you don't already have a plan in mind. Heck, you won't even have a map (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-make-a-map-in-minecraft/1100-6524696/) yet. One of the first things you'll want to do is build a house as soon as possible. Thankfully, your first house doesn't need to be anything fancy. It just needs the bare minimum to live. This guide will break down everything you'll need to know about building the best starter house in Minecraft.Break TreesMinecraft will start you off near trees when you spawn for the first time. You'll want to use this to your advantage. The first thing you'll want to do is begin breaking down many trees by punching them and collecting the wood that's left behind. Once you've collected enough wood, you'll want to convert it into Wood Planks. Don't worry because you can do this without a Crafting Table.Build a small houseNow that you've collected enough wood, you'll want to build a small house where you can stay. The size of it doesn't matter, but we recommend starting with a 5x4 size. Don't worry about making specific rooms. Make sure you have enough room to store all the essentials. While making your house, it's important to mention that you should hold off on the roof until you've placed a few torches around to ensure hostile mobs don't spawn inside.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-make-a-starter-house-in-minecraft/1100-6524698/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
How To Make A Map In Minecraft
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-make-a-map-in-minecraft/1100-6524696/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Maps are crucial if you have long-term plans to play in any Minecraft (https://www.gamespot.com/games/minecraft/)world. As the name suggests, maps allow you to chart specific areas in the world so that you always know how to get to certain locations. Luckily, making them is fairly straightforward, but they won't operate as intended if you make them wrong. Don't worry; this guide details everything you need about crafting and using a map.How to craft a mapTo craft a map, you need the following items first: one compass and eight papers. As soon as you get your hands on those items, go to a Crafting Table, and you should see an option that'll allow you to make one. But if it doesn't appear, you'll want to place all the items, as shown in the picture below.

The First Descendant Server Issues Are Ongoing Amid Its Big Launch
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-first-descendant-server-issues-are-ongoing-amid-its-big-launch/1100-6524692/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Nexus Games' new looter shooter, The First Descendant (https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-first-descendant/), has experienced quite a warm welcome following its release, nearing the top of Steam's most-played list (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-looter-shooter-the-first-descendant-is-off-to-a-big-start/1100-6524651/) shortly after launch. Unfortunately, The First Descendant's sudden popularity may be causing a bit of trouble, as the game is now experiencing server issues including failed login attempts. Players are reportedly being met with a "down for maintenance" notice upon attempting to load into the game."We have noticed that game connections are temporarily unavailable," Nexus Games shared on Twitter (https://x.com/FirstDescendant/status/1808540047538598077). "We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this error. We are promptly working to identify the cause and resolve it."Based on a follow-up tweet, it would seem Nexus Games may have pinpointed the source of the problem. The current theory is related to a network error, and devs say they are waiting for the network to recover. It's possible that the game's overnight success could be straining the servers.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-first-descendant-server-issues-are-ongoing-amid-its-big-launch/1100-6524692/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Putting players in the shoes of an engineer tasked with heading alone into a dark basement to restart an ailing generator is a tried-and-true trope in horror video games. While Still Wakes the Deep (https://www.gamespot.com/games/still-wakes-the-deep/) has a lot that's very familiar to horror fans, it's what it does with this trope of making you the poor lone sucker who needs to flip all the switches and face all the danger to do it, that sets it apart from a field of horror titles. Other games could learn from what developer The Chinese Room does with what has become a very well-worn premise.On paper, Still Wakes the Deep is pretty standard as a horror story, and highly recognizable for anyone who's played games like Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (https://www.gamespot.com/games/amnesia-a-machine-for-pigs/), the developer's previous horror game. It takes place on an oil rig in 1975, and before long, spooky stuff starts kicking off. In its gameplay, Still Wakes the Deep riffs on Amnesia's formula of only allowing you to run and hide from its lethal terrors, sneaking around things that can instantly murder you and hoping they can't squeeze into the small spaces that you can.You can also tell where things are going the second you meet protagonist Caz, the rig's electrician--although, somewhat hilariously, The Chinese Room starts the game by immediately subverting that premise. The first few minutes of the game see Caz defending his job, but all he can really manage is insisting, "I'm good with the lecky." You can guess pretty early on that the power is going to go out, and someone who's good with the lecky is the obvious choice to go turn it back on, even if Caz is actually underqualified for the gig.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-new-horror-game-corrects-something-so-many-others-get-wrong/1100-6524701/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Deadpool And Wolverine's Villain Was Inspired By Willy Wonka

Casual comic book movie fans have probably never heard of Cassandra Nova before Deadpool and Wolverine (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-deadpool-and-wolverine-story-details-revealed/1100-6524477/). That's because this will be the first time that the X-Men villain has been featured in live-action. But when it came time to develop Cassandra's on-screen persona, Emma Corrin had an unconventional source of inspiration: Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."There's something extravagant in Gene Wilder's performance," Corrin told GQ (https://www.gq.com/story/emma-corrin-gq-hype). "And it's a similar energy that Christoph Waltz has in Inglourious Basterds because he's wearing a uniform so he can sit there and drink a glass of milk and pretend he’s a f***ing fairy godmother."The comic book origin of Cassandra Nova is extremely convoluted, and it will probably be simplified in the film. But the short version is that Cassandra is the evil twin sister of Professor Charles Xavier who managed to enter the world despite not being born. She has all of his mental powers and none of his morals. According to Corrin, Cassandra may have a more charmingly sinister persona in the film than she did in the comics.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/deadpool-and-wolverines-villain-was-inspired-by-willy-wonka/1100-6524700/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Here's how you make a map in MinecraftIt's also worth mentioning there's another way of crafting a map. To do this, all you'll need is nine papers. Once you have all nine, place them on a craft table and make the map as usual. What's unique about this map is that it won't have a player tracker. This type of map is known as an Empty Map. Instead, it'll just be a map of the general area, as shown in the picture below.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-make-a-map-in-minecraft/1100-6524696/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Prime Video's The Boys has brought some of TV's most out-there moments for the past three and a half seasons to its fans. The current Season 4 has kept on brand, and with a new episode dropping this week, who knows what showrunner Eric Kripke has in store. However, Kripke has an idea for fans: to enjoy The Boys with the show's very own popcorn bucket.Amazon just has to make it first, but it's unlikely to hit production. We're not going to embed it here, but check it out at the link (https://x.com/therealKripke/status/1808565674924781767), and heads up, it's extremely not safe for work."Crave a little sausage in your popcorn? Then enjoy our #TheBoys popcorn bucket as you watch a NEW EP TOMORROW!!," Kripke tweeted, including the concept art for the bucket, that has a lid shaped like a penis tip. "You'd laugh if you knew how many revisions of this I made our Amazon team do. Now we just need to push them to build it FOR REAL."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-boys-popcorn-bucket-is-as-obscene-as-youd-expect-but-its-not-real-yet/1100-6524694/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Final Fantasy Creator Has No Interest In Returning To The Series
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-creator-has-no-interest-in-returning-to-the-series/1100-6524691/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi said he has no interest in returning to the series after partnering up with Square Enix for the PC and console version of Fantasian, a game previously only available on mobile devices.In an interview with Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-07-03/-final-fantasy-creator-hironobu-sakaguchi-reunites-with-square-enix?srnd=technology-vp), Sakaguchi said he has switched to a consumer of the Final Fantasy series now, particularly Final Fantasy XIV. He doesn't want to know how games in the series are made now, as he feels that it would impact his enjoyment of playing it. "If I take on the Final Fantasy brand again, I don’t know if I’ll be able to genuinely enjoy Final Fantasy XIV as much," he explained.Sakaguchi also said that his studio, Mistwalker, is working on a new game and in the process of finalizing its story. Mistwalker's previous games include cult classics like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon for PC and Xbox 360. However, Sakaguchi said he also has no interest in bringing them to new platforms. Good news, though: both games are playable via backward compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-creator-has-no-interest-in-returning-to-the-series/1100-6524691/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Blumhouse Made Another Movie About How AI Will Destroy Us All
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blumhouse-made-another-movie-about-how-ai-will-destroy-us-all/1100-6524690/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
We've lost track of how many movies have been made about an AI-powered house that inevitably turns on the family that lives there. But this summer, Blumhouse and Sony are putting out another film with that exact premise called Afraid. This time, the killer AI acts a lot like Amazon's Alexa, before things take a much darker twist in the trailer below. John Cho and Katherine Waterston star in the movie as parents who allow a revolutionary digital family assistant called AIA to become a part of their home. But only Waterston's character seems to be unnerved by AIA's "eyes" around the home, or the way that AIA is bribing their son to go to school.AIA sees all and knows everything that's happening in the house, even when the teenage daughter played by Lukita Maxwell is sexting her boyfriend. From there, things get comically over-the-top as AIA gets revenge on the boyfriend for leaking the lewd photos by taking over his car and sending him off to his death.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blumhouse-made-another-movie-about-how-ai-will-destroy-us-all/1100-6524690/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
