You can finally watch Kill Bill 's Vol. 1 and 2 together, as it was meant to be. The Whole Bloody Affair rules for the most part, but it also features one of the most damaging insults imaginable to movie lovers, itself, and Tarantino's legacy: a Fortnite tie-in. Once the credits roll, viewers will be treated to something called The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge . It's an animated short about the sister of that ball and chain-wielding psycho girl that the Bride kills in Vol. 1 . Yuki's Revenge is likely to immediately entice the unaware with its promise of rare Kill Bill content, but something's weird right off the bat. Despite its cool faux stop-motion CGI looks, it just doesn't feel like a Kill Bill animation, and we know that because the movie we'd just watched features a straight-up fantastic anime segment. Everything here is too by-the-numbers, and the short takes exactly zero risks to give us any really memorable action moments. I have se...

Total War: Warhammer 3 has received its latest DLC, Tides of Torment , which expands on various factions in the game and introduces a few new lords, alongside other goodies. Of course, the DLC is a great addition, and yet another expansion to the overall great core experience that Warhammer 3 provides. It's a game with countless factions, lords, and units, with gameplay variability that is seldom seen in other titles, including Total War ones. But while the vastness of the map, the sheer number of unique experiences you could have, and the variation between them are all fine and dandy, one aspect continues to be ignored by CA, despite the countless released DLCs. And that, my friends, is the diplomacy. Diplomacy in Warhammer 3 is the shallowest I have ever had. It essentially boils down to random AI prompts for alliances or trade, getting declared on by a nation on the other side of the planet, or extorting the AI for money every turn if available. Warhammer 3 's cha...

The Fire and Ice mission is the highlight of the Renegades campaign, bringing the classic Destiny 2 feel back to an expansion that often crosses into Star Wars territory. Of course, this means a lot of combat and a main mechanic that ties in with the mission. Fire and Ice can be quite a long mission when you don't know your way around it, and the main mechanic—bringing balance to the cosmic scales—can be tricky to glean at first. It's a perfect in-universe tie-in to the themes of Light, Darkness, and equilibrium, and it's a perfect opportunity to harken back to the Star Wars source material. Because of this, we'll cover the main combat sections in Renegades' Fire and Ice mission so you can learn the mechanics and grab your Praxic Blade. How to Balance the Scales in Fire and Ice in Destiny 2 Renegades The pendulum is a nice touch.

Destiny 2 's Lawless Frontier is marked by warring factions, and Renegades lets you side with one of them at a time. This choice isn't final, but it may be tricky to choose one if you don't know what it entails. Each Syndicate brings its own benefits, including an exclusive shader at rank five. If you'd like to compare each faction before picking one, we'll list the major differences between them. And if you crunched the data and pledged your allegiance because Vex in trenchcoats are cool... well, same . Its unique mod is icing on the cake. Here's a breakdown of the Syndicate system in Destiny 2 's Renegades expansion. Which Syndicate should you side with in Destiny 2? Reformancer Guzheng represents the Tharsis Reformation in the Lawless Frontier.
