Pyre is like a mystical version of NBA Jam and I love it

He’s heating up! While I’ve known aboutPyrefor roughly a year now (having seen it twice at PAX East), I never got the chance to sit down and play the game. Since I’m a fan of Supergiant’s previous works, I just kind of figured it would be the same high-quality adventure-style game we’ve previously gotten from the studio.Transistorplayed like a more strategy-driven take onBastion, but it shared a lot of the same gameplay quirks, for instance....

Ricky and Morty season 4 hasn’t even been ordered yet

This could take a while… I’m pretty sure I’m not alone when I say thatRick and Mortyis one of the best shows that is currently airing on Adult Swim. Between its pitch black sense of humor and its wild adventures, the show hit a sweet spot for a lot of people and it’s developed a pretty ravenous fanbase. Granted, this fanbase is pretty extreme and will be quick to kill a man over dipping sauce, but at least the show is good!...

Hiro Nakamura from Heroes is producing it I wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that there’s aMega Manmovie in the works.
