Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has only been out for a week, but players are already lauding the action-RPG's card-based minigame, Queen's Blood, for its captivating nature. At first glance, one might assume the minigame's inclusion is an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of other card-based minigames--like The Witcher 3's Gwent--Rebirth's creators say most of the inspiration for its design came from two other video games: Marvel Snap and Nintedo's third-person competitive shooter series,…

I have a pet conspiracy theory. The greatest minds in card game design don’t work at Wizards of the Coast on Magic: The Gathering or at Ravensburger on the Disney-themed breakout hit Lorcana. But somehow, through some eldritch pact made with the gods of the collectible card game, Square Enix managed to snag the greatest minds in card game design and has kept them in a vault for the last 30 years working on Final Fantasy card minigames. That’s the best explanation I can come up with for how good Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s…

All’s fair in love, war, and sandwiches in MGMT’s “Dancing in Babylon,” the indie duo’s new song with Chris of Christine and the Queens. The new track— set to appear on Loss of Life, out Feb. 23 via Mom + Pop — is, at its core, a tender piano ballad, but with the kind of quintessentially strange undercurrents you’d expect from MGMT.  Andrew VanWyngarden and Chris combine beautifully on vocals as well, exchanging lines before hitting some sublime harmonies at the end of the bridge, “I wanna tell everyone I know/‘I…

And out of the plethora of notable tropes, there is arguably none more significant than the “final girl’ trope, which, in hindsight, has helped to establish an array of scream queens. These scream queens — whether classic or modern — have seen their careers catapulted following horror movie success. Over the years, horror auteurs and creative filmmakers have given these lead actresses their well-deserved moment in the spotlight…

Xunami Muse and Geneva Karr are making history on Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The two queens — Muse, who’s Panamanian, and Karr, who’s Mexican — are the first two queens to compete on the show while living with DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. “It’s a reality that is often overlooked,” Muse tells Rolling Stone. “Growing up there was this pressure of being a model citizen, and well guess what? We are these model citizens. All I want to do is spread my joy and do my drag and make people laugh…

"This is our fond farewell to 2023," Chris says of Saturday Night Fever cover Just in time for any New Year’s Eve dance parties, Christine and the Queens have dropped their rendition of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive.” The rendition — which arrives days after Barry Gibb was awarded Kennedy Center Honors — hues closely to the Saturday Night Fever classic, with the “Chris Version” putting their own reverbed flourishes on the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zgzOxxZw54 “Art heals!…

The Queen’s Gambit went from the pages of Walter Tevis’ 1983 novel to the screens of millions of Netflix users when its series adaptation premiered in 2020 — and now it’s heading to Broadway. The musical adaptation of the period drama will be driven by music and lyrics from singer and songwriter Mitski. “Before Level Forward even brought the idea of making a musical of The Queen’s Gambit, I was a fan of the Netflix show, and an even greater fan of the original novel.
