In the months since the release of Marvel’s Avengers, the guys at Crystal Dynamics have been working hard to add new characters and new storylines. We have been waiting patiently for one of the most iconic Avengers, Clint Barton, better known as the original Hawkeye, to come to the game as a playable character. Well, that’s coming soon and here’s our first look at it. Ready to reassemble?

Marvel’s Avengers is out now for PC, Xbox One, Stadia and PS4. It’s coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 March 18th, 2021.

Gaming History You Should Know – History of Medieval Times February 14, 2021

It’s Valentine’s Day, and I’m sure many of you (under normal circumstances) would be interested in seeking fun experiences to share with the special people in your life. May I suggest a chicken dinner and joust? Welcome back to Gaming History You Should Know, where we highlight some of the best independently produced gaming related documentaries. Today, we’re going to talk about an experience that made you feel like you were INSIDE the game, Medieval Times.

Medieval Times is a dinner theater event, heavily inspired by the classic stories of battling knights. For a fixed price (reduced for children), you could watch a live joust and armored combat show while having a full dinner. YouTube Channel Midway to Main Street, which details great theme park history videos, produced this great video on the history of the venue. You can check it out below:

I live in a state that is the absolute last to get any kind of business, so the first time I ever heard of Medieval Times was in the Jim Carey film The Cable Guy (Ed Note: Pretty underrated film if you ask me). I have to admit, when the world returns to some semblance of normalcy, this is a place I’d like to check out. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Pokemon World Championships Moved to 2022 February 9, 2021

The biggest competition of the year is not the AFC/NFC Championship Game, World Series or even the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it is the Pokémon World Championships. Previously held every year, Worlds brings together the best Pokémon players from across all the disciplines (TCG, Video Game, Pokkén Tournament and now Pokémon Go), to see who is the very best like no one ever was. At stake was a big trophy, and the recognition that comes with it.

Last year, The Pokémon Company confirmed their next World Championships would take place in England, due to it being the inspiration for the recent Sword and Shield games. It didn’t happen in 2020 due to the current world events. Now, it looks like it will not happen this year either.

The Pokémon Company has just confirmed that Pokémon World Championship will not take place this year due to ongoing safety concerns due to the current world events. It is still expected to take place in England next year.
