Ruin

Normal Women is a novel about a depressed and unfulfilled new mother who seeks meaning in sex work that is spiritually designed to heal wounded men and restore their “crucial feminine”. It’s an outlandish and laughable premise, and that’s before you get to a possible murder – our protagonist, Dani, investigates the disappearance of Renata, the brothel owner. Ainslie Hogarth’s previous novel, Motherthing, was a mashup of horror and humour about a woman being haunted by the ghost of her mother-in-law, so the tone and…

Season of the Wish in Destiny 2 has brought new activities and rewards, and it comes with another major piece of content: a new dungeon. These raid-like three-player activities are among the toughest and most intricate in the game, but they don't require the six-player squads of Destiny 2's raids. The new dungeon is called Warlord's Ruin, and it's set to release on December 1, the first Friday of the new season.Details are sparse on Warlord's Ruin, but we do know a few things, including when it'll be…

How was the idea of "Beast World" conceived? Was it an easy decision to center the book around the Titans? It was time. It was pointed out to me that DC came to me and said, "Hey, what would you think about writing an event at the end of the year?" It was the very early stages of "Titans." It made a lot of sense for it to be the Titans, for one thing. They were like, "Yes, let's do this with the Titans." But also, it meant that I could build this event organically out of the "Titans" book. Everything…

Speaking to NME, Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Realms Of Ruin game designer Daniel Saunders has discussed the effort that goes into turning a Warhammer story into a real-time strategy (RTS) campaign. Set in the savage realm of Ghur, Realms Of Ruin‘s campaign takes place as a band of Stormcast Eternals – some of humanity’s strongest warriors – fight to secure a foothold against Orruk tribes, undead Nighthaunt, and Chaos-touched Disciples Of Tzeentch. “Getting to a campaign to operate where you’re playing from multiple…

In 2017's "Secret Empire" (by Nick Spencer, Steve McNiven, Rod Reis, Daniel Acuna, Andrea Sorrentino, and Travis Lanham), Marvel debuted an alternate version of Captain America, one who was created by the Red Skull. The Nazi villain manipulated the powers of the Cosmic Cube to rewrite reality and replace the true Cap with a version who was loyal to Hydra. The world believed the imposter Captain America was the real thing, all while he was working as Hydra Supreme of the fascist regime. The evil Steve…

Having missed the original broadcast, she has been frantically logging out of all forms of social media, lest a stray Facebook status or retweet give the game away. Add to this the possibility of a friend innocently revealing what happens, and it's clear just how difficult it is to…

This weekend, legions of movie lovers will descend upon theaters, popcorn in hand and catheter in place, girding themselves for the single most unlikely double feature ever conceived by the internet. When it was announced that Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s big-budget, bigger-canvas biopic about the man dubbed “the father of the atomic bomb”; and Barbie, Greta Gerwig’s big-budget, bigger-ambitions movie about the doll dubbed “Barbie,” would both be opening on July 21st, 2023, it looked like nothing more than a…

While industry experts believe that Foxconn pulling out of its joint venture with Vedanta to set up India's first semiconductor fabrication unit is a setback, it is a minor one. As IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar pointed out, it does not hamper Semicon India in anyway…

It was ironic that while Disney was in the midst of its worst box office run for years, a movie the Mouse House actively allowed to slip through its fingers was riding a wave of critical acclaim to massive viewership numbers on Netflix, but the story of Nimona isn’t quite as straightforward as it may seem. While Disney did actively shutter Blue Sky Studios following its acquisition of parent company Fox and place the animation outfit’s in-development projects squarely in the firing line, the higher-ups could have been…
