So, Was The Far Side Published In Color Or Black-And-White? It’s Complicated

There is a surprisingly complex answer to the question of “who coloredThe Far Side?” As it turns out, it wasn’t always creator Gary Larson, at least not during the comic’s original run in publication; often, newspaper editors had a great deal more leeway to “mess with” Larson’s work than some fans might realize, andthat included having discretion as to how, and when, to colorizeFar Sidecartoons. Today, for the many of the thousands ofFar Sidepanels Gary Larson produced, there are both black-and-white and color versions in circulation; moreover, for a significant number ofFar Sidecartoons, there are multiple different colorized “variants” out there....

Star Wars Outlaws: Critical Fixes Needed for Switch 2 Success

Star Wars Outlawsisn’t a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination, but I definitely feel like it gets a lot more criticism than it deserves. Of course, at launch, it was in a much worse state, but Ubisoft has worked hard to get it to an acceptable level, including implementing some much-needed fixes. As a result, excitement for the upcoming Switch 2 release is much higher than it otherwise would have been....

Stick Review: Owen Wilson's New Apple TV+ Sports Comedy Isn't Ted Lasso For Golf & That's Perfectly OK

Stickis a new sports comedy starring Owen Wilson as a washed-up golfer who, through mentoring a young phenom (Peter Dager), begins to get his life back on track. It’s by no means an original premise, and AppleTV+ is already trying to spin the series as the nextTed Lasso(a comparison which could do more harm than good). But that familiar tale proves to be a solid framework for a half-hour dramedywith a talented cast....

This streamer beat an Elden Ring boss with a controller made of bananas

Sing us a song, you’re the banana man I love when gamers come up with zany control schemes to play a game. It’s a whole subculture of the gaming side of the internet that fascinates me. Some of my favorites recently have been when streamer Rudeism playedHadeson a real pomegranate, orUntitled Goose Gamewith his body, so that when he flapped his “wings” or honked in real life, he would do it in the game, too....

Still, Gray Fox has had a lasting legacy on the series as a whole, which is why you see him even today in random merch like this statue. Japanese toy company Gecco just plopped some photos of their work in progress Gray Fox statue, which is evidently a 1/6 scale creation....

A powerhouse likeUbisoft, however, is an umbrella to quite a few studios around the world, so it can seem a little odd. Currently, Ubisoft has twelve different titles without release dates.
