We Played Cyberpunk 2020 With Its Creator
After having been thoroughly wowed by CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 demo at E3 2018, we've been eager to dive deeper into its dystopian sci-fi world. To that end, my fellow IGN tabletop fans (read: huge nerds) Cassidee Moser and Casey DeFreitas decided to check out the pen-and-paper RPG on which it was based, Cyberpunk 2020.
Watch our playthrough of Cyberpunk 2020 here!
We were fortunate enough to have Mike Pondsmith (creator and author of Cyberpunk 2020/203X/RED) agree to lead the session, because who better to show off the world of Cyberpunk than the man behind it?
DC Answers Which Flash Is Faster: Barry Allen or Wally West?
In the pages of The Flash #50 by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Howard Porter, DC Comics have finally answered which Flash is the fastest, Barry Allen or Wally West. Both have a strong connection to the Speed Force and both have operated as the Flash for years, but now we know which one is truly the fastest man alive.
Warning: full spoilers ahead!
Issue #50 marks the conclusion of the Flash War storyline that pitted Barry against Wally. Naturally, it turns out their longtime nemesis Zoom was the one manipulating them against each other, and so the two speedsters joined together to stop the villain. The story reached its climax as Zoom took off in an attempt to execute his master plan, leaving Barry and Wally to give chase.
