In the Act 3 finale of the "WTF Happened to Multiversus?" saga, we reach our boiling point with this soon-to-be vaporware of a game. This is a roast of every half-baked feature that Player First Games put on the pass while Warners went out for a smoke and let the money burn. Did dysfunctional management ultimately get the entire development team fired, or was the spark of inspiration that Multiversus once had dwarfed by a...
Continuing the Multiversus Saga in Act 2 is our painstaking breakdown of the complete continuity of the game's lifespan, from the announcement of its existence to the pronouncement of its death. Watch as the player count enters a free fall that would make Alan Eustace's record blink. Did the brilliant minds at DummyYouBe really expect a turnaround after holding their own game hostage for a year, or did they give up and pull the plu...
WB's latest in a gaggle of live-service gaming goof-ups brought us begrudgingly back from the bliss of death to talk about how things went so wrong so fast. Is the media giant solely to blame for this particular fiasco, or did the developers steer this vehicle way off course? Maybe they should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque. In Act 1 of 3, we get up to speed by taking a small detour back on memory lane before embark...
The runaway success of Palworld has drawn controversy about whether it's a low-effort knockoff of existing games and if it was at least partially made using AI. Does Nintendo really have grounds to sue? Does AI pose a serious threat to artists, society at large, and worst of all, Taylor Swift? Let's get into it.

Trouble is brewing for many film franchises; audience turnout isn't what it used to be. Why have Marvel, DC, Disney, and Pixar, among others, released so many box office flops recently? We attempted to string together enough coherent sentences in order to answer that question on this year-in-review episode of Utterly Nonsense.

It's over at last, thank Grodd. That finale was... something. Yes, we're talking about The Flash, again, but for what will HOPEFULLY be the last time. In this retrospective episode, we discuss whether the long-running CW series had a distinct rise and decline, as many believe, or if in fact the elements which led to its supposed downfall were present from the very beginning.

Once again, a female-led MCU feature has stirred up controversy for being "the worst thing Marvel has created and yet another example of woke garbage holding up a middle finger to comic book fans!" Or was it an accurate meta-commentary on toxic fandoms, which successfully baited the exact reaction it predicted it would get? Maybe everyone's overthinking it and needs to chill out, because how are people seriously not tired of all th...

Did we love Thor: Love and Thunder or was it a blunder? Was the Ms. Marvel series a CW-level teen drama? What was all that comic-con Marvel business about?
