Boost your Python skills with this comprehensive class referenceImage by Lukas Bieri on PixabayWhen it comes to classes, many Python developers struggle, for a lot of reasons. Firstly — in my opinion — because the concept of Object Oriented Programming is not always clear. Secondly, because the ideas behind classes and Object Oriented Programming (OOP) are a lot and the explanations we may find here and there (mainly, online) may be superficial.In this article, I want to cover the most important concepts behind Python…

via DC James Gunn doesn’t seem to want to give up his social media escapades, even if it means getting dangerously close to spilling the beans for fans. And apparently, when he isn’t doing that, the filmmaker channels a certain tyrannical emperor from a galaxy far, far away to reassert his authority over the DCU. Speaking of Star Wars, fans have recently taken a trip down memory lane and wondered if the Mouse House should also pull a George Lucas by revamping the CGI in those older movies and releasing a…

Nearly a decade ago, I took the most important decision of my gaming life. With my first salary, I went ahead and bought myself a console instead of investing in a brand-new PC. And I haven’t really looked back since. I got to play pretty much all the games I wanted to… save for one particular genre.I loved playing Real Time Strategy (RTS) games. I have spent countless hours playing Command and Conquer, Warcraft (before it became an MMORPG), Empire Earth, StarCraft and of course, Age of Empires. However, once I made the…

Dick jokes It’s hard to believe Flying Wild Hog’s Shadow Warrior games started off as a retro revival of the 3D Realms’ 1997 Build Engine title. While the 2013 game made references to the original, it was very much its own thing. Then I skipped the second title because it would make me feel lonely to play it by myself, and now we’re at Shadow Warrior 3, and it’s unrecognizable. That’s where we were last year, I guess. This is Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition. The Definitive Edition comes with survival mode and a new…

Age of Empires II is extremely special to me. The game came to me by accident at 16, and it has remained a great gaming love of mine ever since. I played Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Xbox to see if, after all these years, I could rekindle my fondness for this PC game on console, and it feels like love at first wololo all over again.It is a daunting prospect to play a complex real-time strategy game like Age of Empires without the finely tuned control of a keyboard. There are maps and submenus to click through…

It's not easy for a game to stand the test of time. As technology evolves and the scope of knowledge in the world grows, so too do our expectations. Even the most innovative games' popularity will generally dwindle over time, as newer releases build on their predecessors' successes to bring a better, fresher experience to the table.
