Look, y’all, I try to start these recaps with lighthearted jokes and gags that all of us, both lovers and haters of The Last of Us season two, can enjoy, to set a welcoming and pleasant tone before I start unleashing my critiques of a given episode. However, I don’t think I have it in me this week. I’ve been dreading…

TikTok is in an exceptionally tough spot these days. Despite everyone you know using it for hours on end, the video-sharing app is currently facing legislation that would force its ban in the U.S pending a potential sale, and prospective buyers are lining up. One of these potential buyers is reportedly Bobby Kotick,…
This week, it was reported that in a strange turn of events, Nintendo may not be sending out Switch 2 units to would-be reviewers before launch, which could result in a dearth of coverage at a time when you’d expect to see impressions and reviews of the console plastered across every gaming site and YouTube channel.…
A legendary shooter has been discounted by 60% for the PS5 and PS4 in a limited-time PS Store deal that ends in a week. Id Software’s 1997 classic Quake II is just $3.99 until the sale ends on May 22.
If you’re craving an id Software classic after Doom: The Dark Ages, Quake II is a no-brainer. The modern version comes with both online and local multiplayer as well as co-op alongside one of the most popular single-player shooter campaigns of the 90s.
Quake II mostly retains its original aesthetic, but with support for 4K, widescreen resolution, improved animations and AI, enhanced cinematics, improved lighting, and much more. The package also includes the all-new “Call of the Machine” expansion.
“Mankind is at war with the Strogg, a hostile alien race that attacked Earth,” reads Quake II’s synopsis. “In response, humanity launched a strike on the Strogg homeworld…it failed, but you survived.”
A Quake 1 & 2 bundle is also available, but unfortunately, isn’t discounted at the time of this writing. Quake 1 is currently full price as well.
PS Plus Premium subscribers can stream Quake II. Trophy hunters will be pleased to note that the game comes with a quick and easy Platinum trophy.

Sony Interactive Entertainment developer Bungie is under fire for plagiarism once again — this time, in upcoming shooter Marathon. An artist took to X to complain that their work from 2017 was simply taken without credit, with some images even carrying their portfolio title “Antireal.”
The artist, who goes as 4nt1r34l (Antireal), claims that several Bungie employees including Marathon’s lead developer have been following them on X for years, which hasn’t gone down well with players. X users jumped into action and uncovered some pretty blatant examples of Marathon using Antireal’s work, prompting Bungie to respond.
That response, however, has left players angrier. Using a Marathon dev team X account with significantly fewer followers than the game’s or Bungie’s official account, the studio admitted that the artist’s work was used without permission, but blamed a former employee for it.
Many accused Bungie of purposely using the dev team account to release its statement for lower visibility, especially since this isn’t the first time the company has been caught plagiarizing.
Back in September 2024, Bungie “resolved” a dispute with an artist whose design was used without permission for a physical Nerf LMTD blaster based upon Cayde-6’s hand cannon, Ace of Spades. Then, too, Bungie claimed to be “investigating” how the issue occurred with a “partner.”

Whether you just finished binge-watching the entire Underworld franchise, dove into some classic vampiric lore such as Carmilla, or just want your fifteenth playthrough of Oblivion to feel slightly different, vampirism is always an option. It’s not the best option. But it’s an option!
