Over the past few weeks, the corrupt practices of Blizzard’s workplace culture have been exposed, with the development growing worse and worse by the day. A lawsuit issued by the State of California started the proceedings, with the company accused of violating the State’s Fair Employment and Housing Act through sexual harassment and discrimination of its female employees. Since then, company executives, those who are particularly being held accountable for the allegations, have began leaving the company, with Blizzard president J....

Believe it or not, it has been six years since players first wandered the blood-soaked streets of Yharnam, Bloodborne launching for the PS4 in 2015. From the aforementioned unique art direction, to its modifications on the traditional Souls gameplay, FromSoftware created a title that remains in the gaming community’s discourse to this day.

With the launch of Bloodborne’s Old Hunters DLC expansion, however, the theories have been renewed, and it turns out there may be some truth to them this time. But to discuss the potential of turning into a beast there will have to be some Bloodborne DLC spoilers, so be warned. Without mincing words, Bloodborne does finally offer a beast transformation to players, but it requires a fair bit of work....
All-Star left-hander Blake Snell on Tuesday reached a milestone that used to define pitching success (and get pitchers paid). The fact he only went five innings, albeit five dominant ones, against the Rangers provided a new-age touch to the night, but Snell (20-5) still became just the second Ray ever to get to 20 (David Price, in 2012, was the first) and the first MLB pitcher to win that many since Rick Porcello, Max Scherzer and J....
Ichigo is a fun protagonist to hang around with, but there’s no denying that he can be fairly inconsistently written at times. For someone who is headstrong and never gives up, there are times when Ichigo acts completely out of character, which can get somewhat annoying at times. Here are some of the most egregious instances of the same in Bleach. 5 Defeating Kenpachi Despite Being Less Powerful Than Him Ichigo’s trek through Soul Society led to him fighting with multiple shinigami before realizing that he needed to boost his powers to take on Byakuya Kuchiki....

Playing as Ken at Spain’s Sonic Boom event, Sven fought against Musashi’s Akuma in the Street Fighter 5 tournament’s pool stages. The disabled player lost his sight at the age of five due to cancer, but that minor inconvenience wasn’t enough to stop him from coming out on top at the last minute.

Morhaime previously worked on a number of titles at Blizzard before taking his leadership position there, where he was eventually followed-up by current President J. Allen Brack.

You see, Blizzard’s hordes of loyal WoW fans are also salivating over the launch of the long-awaited Diablo 3, meaning a dip in Azeroth’s population is almost a certainty. While some might see that as bad news, Blizzard’s choosing to look on the bright side: if anyone’s going to steal their business, it might as well be them. It’s a unique problem, since the average lifespan of most games is at most a year or two....
According to the job opening, Blizzard is seeking a senior software engineer to “help create vehicles and build vehicle handling features in a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project.” Beyond those details, though, it’s difficult to tell what kind of vehicles will be incorporated into the new game and how they will operate, as the company didn’t even mention whether or not they’re aerial or terrestrial. What’s even more interesting is the fact that Blizzard’s new title will be a first-person game, with the publisher and developer having just recently forayed into first-person with the fan-favorite and critical darling, Overwatch....
