GameCube cult classic Killer7 is coming to PC this fall

Posted: 27 May 2018 07:29 PM PDT

Killer7, one of the weirdest games ever to see release on a Nintendo platform, is getting remastered for PC this year. NIS America will be publishing the surreal cel-shaded blood-letting Resident Evil-on-rails multi-character global-conspiracy noir adventure on Steam in the fall.

If you've never played Killer7, you've never played anything like Killer7. The game has a unique control scheme that takes your character through the environment on predetermined paths, switching to first-person mode to shoot enemies and collect their blood to level up. You play a guy in a wheelchair who's able to transform into one of seven assassins at will, taking on their various attributes to solve puzzles. I'm not even going to begin to try to explain the...

Summer is here, and I want a smart air conditioner

Posted: 27 May 2018 10:00 AM PDT

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the US, which also marks the unofficial start of summer (at least in my book). And summer means sweltering heat from which there is but one relief: it's the cool, refreshing breeze from an air conditioner. And while there's nothing exactly wrong with my current, window-mounted AC unit (which I got in college in exchange for a six-pack of beer in what might be the best trade I've ever made), after making the switch over to smart lights in my room, I can't help but want a smart air conditioner.

Most of this just stems from pure laziness. I'll admit that I was, for years, skeptical about the value of smart lightbulbs, right up until I bought a set on a deal and discovered the unparalleled joy in being able...

Thirty Flights of Loving shows how little we still know about the language of games

Posted: 27 May 2018 08:00 AM PDT

It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.

It's easy to forget how young video games are. In a lot of ways, we're still learning what the best practices and techniques are for telling a story in a game; there can be conflicts when you try to weave together a specific authored narrative with an audience that expects to have agency in the experience. As such, a lot of games pull techniques from film, another visual medium that shares a lot of similarities in how a story can be conveyed. Two prime examples of this are Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving, which a...

Everything coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now in June

Posted: 27 May 2018 07:00 AM PDT

This weekend, Solo is in theaters, giving audiences their latest adventure inside the Star Wars universe. But there's a lot more to film and TV than just space operas. In June, streaming services will be adding a plethora of new titles to their respective lineups.

Netflix is leaning into its selection of Marvel titles, including the second season of Luke Cage, the hilarious Thor: Ragnarok, and the latest season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Not only that, but the service is also adding Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. (Yeah, we know what we said about space operas, but c'mon — it's Star Wars.) The two-hour series finale to Lana and Lilly Wachowski's Sense8 is coming in June, as is The Break with Michelle Wolf, and the second seasons...

Holograms, campfire horror stories, and OK Go: the best VR and AR from the Tribeca Film Festival

Posted: 27 May 2018 06:00 AM PDT

Virtual reality hasn't changed the world the way its creators hoped — at least, not yet. But it's gotten a lot of traction in a slightly unexpected place: film festivals. At last month's Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, curators featured nearly three dozen virtual and augmented reality experiences across three different tracks: a cinematic 360-degree video screening program, a "virtual arcade" with a variety of interactive and cinematic projects, and the long-running Storyscapes program that features ambitious virtual / physical installations.

Some of these projects will remain festival installations, but others are coming to home VR headsets. I got to see almost everything at this year's Tribeca Immersive program, so here's my...
