Wrestling Wrap Up: How WWE Fixed Their Carmella Problem
Bada boom, HEEL-EST GUY IN THE ROOM!
So what happens when the irresistible heel meets the immovable feel?
Aside from me slightly mourning the fact that Big Cass didn't come out with glasses on, claim he got his teaching certificate, and then scream "I CAN teach that! I CAN TEACH IT ALLLLL!," Monday's re-do of the Cass/Enzo split was really well done. This was a week of doubling down on the wonky heel decisions that felt so wrong and awkward the week before. And all of them involving the once-solid trio of Enzo, Cass, and Carmella.
Secret Empire: What Did Captain America Do Now?
Just when we thought Captain America couldn't stoop any lower in Secret Empire, he proves us wrong.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Secret Empire #5!
This issue was full of new revelations, including the long-awaited explanation for why Thor Odinson has thrown his lot in with Captain America and Hydra rather than the Avengers. Unlike Scarlet Witch and Vision, Thor isn't being brainwashed. Instead, he's simply motivated by loyalty to Steve Rogers, a man who very recently proved himself worthy of wielding Mjolnir where Thor himself is not. That's not to say the Odinson isn't having doubts about his current gig.
How Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy WIll Let Me Relive My Most Important Gaming Memories
We always argued about which was better.
My mom always firmly came down on the side of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. She collected every crystal, gem, and found the secret warp room over and over, restarting the game after every run. I always favored Crash Bandicoot: Warped, with its historical era-hopping levels and time trials that allowed her and I to actually compete to be the better Crash player in our house.
Now with the release of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, I’m so excited to be able to revisit those memories, because they’ll transport me to a time that I can no longer visit. A time when I could play games with the person who introduced me to the medium — my mom, who died nine years ago.
Why Iceman Would Be a Great Gay Boyfriend
June is LGBT+ Pride Month, a time for queer people to stand up for equal rights and celebrate sexual diversity, so it’s no surprise that Marvel Comics chose this month to launch its comic book starring gay X-Men member Iceman (check out our review of Iceman #1). From gay writer Sina Grace and artist Alessandro Vitti, the series shows what Bobby Drake is up to in his personal life when he’s not out saving the world as an X-Man. So far, it’s been a lot of combating stigma against mutants, beating up bad guys, and enduring the arduous struggle that is online dating.
While that last one might seem the most treacherous of all, we think Bobby shouldn’t have anything to worry about. In the world of gay dating, he's someone any guy would be lucky to have. Here’s why Iceman would be the perfect gay boyfriend.

PlayStation Plus July Free Games Revealed
July's list of PlayStation Plus free games has been revealed, with Supermassive Games' Until Dawn and Telltale Games' Game of Thrones: Season 1 leading off the list.
Check out the full slate of free games that will be made available to PS Plus subscribers for the month of July, as well as what platforms they'll be available on:
- Until Dawn (PS4)
- Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series (PS4)
- Tokyo Jungle (PS3)
- Darkstalkers Resurrection (PS3)
- Element4l (PS Vita)
- Don't Die, Mr. Robot! (PS Vita, cross buy with PS4)
In our IGN review of Until Dawn, we said "At its best, Until Dawn is a gleefully cheesy homage to horror movies, set in a world built by a developer that clearly adores the genre." The choice-based horror game later received a PlayStation VR spinoff, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, while Supermassive's next games, Hidden Agenda and The Inpatient, were revealed during E3 2017. The Inpatient is actually a prequel to Until Dawn, set 60 years prior to the events of that game.

It would appear that superheroes and video game characters don’t think much of one another. Presumably, that’s why they duke it out every few years in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. It’s been five years since Chun-Li last lightning-legged Iron Man, but they’re gearing up for another go-round with Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. In case you haven’t been following along, be sure to read our hands-on preview to see how the game’s shaping up.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Hard Medieval Living
With no magic, no elves, and not even a King Arthur, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is aiming for a grounded and realistic approach to open-world medieval roleplaying games. Oddly enough, that makes this February 2018 RPG feel distinctive next to the likes of The Elder Scrolls or The Witcher.
Developer Warhorse Studios says that aside from the personal story of your character, Harry, the events of a civil war in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the year 1403 are historically accurate. As you set out to avenge the death of your parents, who were killed in a raid on a village that actually happened, you join the service of a lord and play a role in the outcome of the war - which is, of course, fixed.
