For people who experience intense fears or phobias, carrying that weight wherever you go can feel like a specter, lurking over your shoulder, haunting you with its constant, lingering presence. The nature of our fears are unique to each of us, and conveying those deeply personal emotions can be just as challenging as living with them. But the latest expansion from Magic: The Gathering , the horror-themed Duskmourn , sets out to do just that: shine a light on and reveal the fears, stresses, and uncertainties that the game’s characters carry with them as the world within that fiction unravels.  “With these cards you can feel the madness, you can see it with the tilt of a card,” said Wizards of the Coast production artist Nickii Pelletier in an interview with Polygon. Since the introduction of Booster Fun in 2019 , nearly every subsequent Magic set has had a selection of cards that are printed with what’s known as a “showcase” treatment. These are cards that can appear in regular...

For fans of One Piece — whether that be the manga, anime, live action series, or all of the above — here’s a fun gift idea. The Op Games has created a Yahtzee One Piece edition that offers a touch more fan service than I would have expected. The image above might have already given it away for you: Instead of only slapping key character headshots of the Straw Hat crew on dice and calling it a day, the game also includes Monkey D. Luffy’s iconic, trusty hat as the cup for juggling the dice. If you know of a One Piece fan in your life — or, perhaps, that fan is you — this title is available now at Amazon, costing $23.99 . The simple rules of the One Piece edition of Yahtzee are no different than the regular title; each player attempts to roll the highest number with the five dice included, looking specifically for dice combos, such as full house, to multiply your score through numerous rounds. Now, you get to do it all while feeling entrenched in the fun universe of One Piece. And wh...

In late 2022, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came as a complete surprise. Instead of a tired Shrek spinoff using the same overdone style of the previous five Shrek-related movies , DreamWorks delivered a gorgeously animated and poignant story that harkened back to the actual meaningful themes of the original Shrek , before the franchise became one big pop culture spoof .  The Wild Robot , DreamWorks’ latest movie, proves that the departure in The Last Wish wasn’t a fluke, but the beginning of a new era. From director Chris Sanders ( Lilo & Stitch , How to Train Your Dragon) , The Wild Robot is a tenderly crafted story that pushes computer animation in a beautiful new direction — and is exactly the sort of movie that the current animation landscape so desperately needs.  [ Ed. note: This review contains minor spoilers for The Wild Robot .]  Based on the middle-grade book by Peter Brown, The Wild Robot follows a robot named Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) who finds herself...

League of Legends is 15 years old, and Riot Games is gearing up to celebrate the momentous occasion. Season 2 of Arcane , the popular and acclaimed Netflix show, will be released in November. The annual esports tournament known as the World Championship is approaching soon, accompanied by a rock anthem by Linkin Park . And Teemo, the game’s de facto mascot and most fondly hated champion, is getting a visual update.  In a dev diary update posted on Monday, Riot shared some upcoming plans for the game, including new narrative seasons. Each themed season will be accompanied by a matching champion. It’s another big step in League of Legends ’ history, and it’s an attempt to meet the needs of a huge, fractured fan base: competitive players, lore fanatics, and everyone in between. “We don’t think of seasons as just advancing a story in the canon; we see it as a tool to explore vibes and narrative tie-ins to other things that are going on at Riot — ways for you to get deeply i...
