Summary Contains spoilers forDeadpool & Wolverine: WWIII!The latestDeadpoolteam-up in Marvel Comics with Wolverine is bringing back one of the worst aspects in the mercenary’s history. Like many other Marvel fans, I was not thrilled by Wade Wilson’s time as “Deadpool” inX-Men Origins: Wolverine(2009), to say the least. Since I was young, it was my first introduction to the character - and it’s the worst introduction possible. A few years later, I began a complete read-through of Deadpool’s comics and found a completely different and much more fun character....

Click it or you’ll miss it The Nintendo Switch UI has a long way to go. I totally appreciate that it’s fairly minimal, which is actually an upgrade in a way from the absurdity of the modern console era (they’re adding more clicks as we speak with firmware updates on PS4 and Xbox One), but a few big quality of life updates would go a long way. One of the most requested features is a better eShop, not only from users who want to find games better, but developers who wish to have their works curated and not dumped into a giant list....

Form factor, at a cost When it comes to the gaming mouse market, there’s a very mixed set of options available to pick from. There’s simple mice with a few extra buttons, as well as angular monstrosities capable of being modified to the ends of the earth. The Razer Diamondback fits more on the simple side of things, but excels mostly in regards to its form factor. It’s hard to compare to any other mouse, just in terms of how it feels to hold and operate....

Marvel is introducing an awesome newHulkwith unique powers and a striking design - there’s only one problem… he’s the wrong color. And while therightcolor is just my opinion, I’d argue that Marvel’s own lore backs me up. Over the years, Hulk has taken on several different colors, from blue to silver to yellow. However, almost none of them have been permanent. Only the Red Hulk and Gray Hulk have really established themselves as lasting characters distinct from the Green Goliath - now,we have a rare chance for another....

ThisFall Guys-esque title pits players against each other in a series of physics-based minigames, with losing players being eliminated until there’s only one left.
