We were expecting a MacBook Air-like device. It turns out Dell’s new product, dubbed “Thinnest 15-inch PC on the planet” isn’t thinner than the 15-inch MacBook Pro I gave up a year ago for an Air. That’s the same one that came out with the Unibody manufacturing process in October 2008. Dell’s 15-inch XPS 15z is .97 inches thick compared to the MacBook PRo’s .95 inches. It does weigh in at slightly less than the MacBook Pro (which is due for an update soon as well)....

The smash hit DCeased comic has finally come to an end, which means it’s time for the entire DC horror series to be collected in one graphic novel format. Set to arrive later this month, what better way to celebrate Tom Taylor and Trevor Hairsine’s horror epic than by asking the question, ‘what would DCeased look like if it was actually a 1990s era, straight-to-video, B-movie zombie shlock-fest?’ The answer: as beautiful as its undead are horrifying....

In the dark times before special edition DVD’s or Blu-Rays, deleted scenes were something only whispered about among film fans. Trailers and extended TV versions were often the only places alternate footage could be found, yet certain sequences remained out of sight. There’s a slight danger to building hype around deleted scenes, since they were often trimmed for good reason. For example, for two decades, reports circulated of an amazing fight scene that was cut from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, which was supposedly so incredible producers decided to save it for another movie....

Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding is dividing critics and players on the quality of the experience it provides. While there have been conflicting reviews about past projects from Hideo Kojima, none have been quite this jarring for fans. It’s a confusing time for gamers who were once anticipating Death Stranding’s release or even those who are still confused by just what Death Stranding actually is. Still, many gamers are wondering if Death Stranding is right for them....

Cuphead and Mugman haven’t lost a step in their move to Switch. The game remains an immensely enjoyable and challenging romp at home or on the go. Cuphead earned praise and mild infamy in 2017 for its faithful homage to 1930’s animation and its polished but challenging gameplay. That high quality hasn’t diminished in its move to the Switch. The Nintendo faithful will find to plenty to love (and loathe) about Studio MDHR’s deceptively tough platformer; a game that’s much more than a pretty face....

With just one season to its name and currently no hope of a revival, a lot of the material told in the comics won’t be adapted any time soon....

Death Stranding delivers on its impossible promise in a breathtaking way. Evaluating Death Stranding was always going to be difficult. It’s a game that has been built up for so many years, and by so many fans of a director with ambitious vision, freed from the shackles of a company that many believe restricted his creativity. It has celebrities scattered throughout its cast, an incredible ensemble soundtrack that’s being released as an album, and so much extraneous activity that it feels like a game that’s been out for a year and a half already....
