Arcade1Up Infinity Game Board Gets Rare Discount

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 23:29

Board games are great, but what isn't fun is finding space to store all of them. Fortunately, the Arcade 1Up Infinity Game Board is a solution to that problem, because this device crams dozens of classic board games into a hi-tech frame. It's very rarely on sale, but for Target Circle Week, you can score a nice $100 discount on the Game Board, while its larger sibling, the Infinity Game Table, has been discounted by $200. As a reminder, you'll need to be a member of Target's Circle Club to get these deals, but membership is free.

The Game Board is a lap-sized device with a built-in 18.5-inch HD touchscreen and offers space for up to six people to play. It comes with 50 games like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, and more; plus you can always purchase and download more games from the online storefront. There's even online play using its built-in Wi-Fi functionality, and with a full-HD resolution, you're getting a sharp picture for your sessions.

Alternatively, the Game Table is a much larger version of the Game Board. It comes with detachable legs so you and your friends can pull up a few chairs around it. Otherwise, you're getting the same online functionality and game library with this version.

Chewbacca Actor Talks About Playing A Jedi Wookie In The Acolyte

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 23:18

Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo has discussed his role in the upcoming Star Wars TV series The Acolyte, in which he plays a Jedi Wookie named Kelnacca. Speaking to Empire, Suotamo said it was a "dream come true" to step into a role he's been dreaming about since childhood.

"Ever since [I was] five years old, I've been fantasizing about being a Jedi, like every kid," he said. "When the word Jedi was first mentioned [in talks for The Acolyte], I felt really excited--like a little kid who finally gets his favorite toy on his birthday."

Suotamo took over as Chewbacca from Peter Mayhew, who passed away in 2019. Suotamo said he learned from Mayhew that Chewbacca is meant to be played as a mime character, in that the audience doesn't know precisely what he's saying but they understand through his mannerisms, including his roar. For The Acolyte, Suotamo said he applied these lessons and added a little more resolve to make Kelnacca a Jedi.

GTA 6: A Key Theory Has Been Debunked

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 22:29

A running theory about Grand Theft Auto VI is that Troy Baker, one of the most popular and best-known voice actors in gaming, is voicing the male lead in the open-world game. Baker himself has now responded to that theory, telling The Movie Dweeb that he counts it as a compliment that people think it's him, but it's not.

"I want that guy, whoever it is, to get credit for his work, because I'm sure it's going to be great. That's a grind. Those guys pour themselves into those characters and they deserve all of the credit for their work," Baker said of people who do voicework for Rockstar Games.

When GTA VI's first trailer arrived in December 2023, some people believed Lucia's partner, rumored to be named Jason, was voiced by Baker because the one line the character has in the trailer sounds like Baker's voice. For what it's worth, we don't know who is voicing Lucia yet, either, though of course the internet has its theories on that, too. In fact, Rockstar Games has not made any official announcements regarding the voice cast for GTA VI.

Tom Hiddleston Looks Back On Loki's Season 2 Finale

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 22:04

There are so many unfinished stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that it was genuinely a surprise when the Loki Season 2 finale seemingly brought the story of Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief to a meaningful conclusion. To protect his friends and save the multiverse, Loki completed his evolution into the God of Stories and became the protector of the infinite timelines at the End of Time. During a recent interview with Variety, Hiddleston was asked if he would return for Loki Season 3. And while Hiddleston couldn't answer that question, he confirmed that he's happy with the way Loki's 12-year character arc ended.

“I truthfully don’t know [about Season 3], said Hiddleston. “I am so proud of where we landed in Season 2. To go from this lost, broken soul in Asgard, and be given a second chance and learn so much about life that he actually gives himself to protect other people, has been such an honor.”

Hiddleston also credited the show's success to his supporting cast, including Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Tara Strong, and Ke Huy Quan.

Make-Your-Own-Lofi-Girl Game Spirit City: Lofi Sessions Is Out Now

Mon, 04/08/2024 - 22:00

We've heard of lofi beats for relaxation or focus, but usually they serve as the background for gaming and other activities. Mooncube Games is attempting to switch up the formula with Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, a game that lets you control all parts of the lofi experience, and it launches today on PC.

Spirit City gives you the opportunity to customize your own Lofi Girl or Boy, with options including both the look of the character and the background of their relaxation session. The game will then provide a curated list of lofi tracks to create a specially crafted lofi session based on what you have created.

You can also create and customize a small spirit companion from a selection found throughout the world. Certain spirits can be coaxed into the scene through your choice of sounds and activities for your characters, and spirits who do appear can be befriended and brought along for future sessions.
