While Bravely Second: End Layer continued the story of the original game, Bravely Default 2 is now hoping to continue the story of the franchise some six years later. The third (and slightly confusingly named) installment of the series will launch on Nintendo Switch this Friday, February 26, and producer Masashi Takahashi hopes to see it establish Bravely as a full-fat series home to independent but thematically connected stories and games. He and character designer Naoki Ikushima have also worked to marry the best parts of Bravely with lessons learned from Octopath Traveler, the last Switch JRPG that the two worked on, and player feedback has shaped that process at nearly every level. A return to form "While I am really proud that so many people have played the games and like the series, at the same time I also feel with each game we had a lot of points to reflect on," Takahashi says of the series thus far. "With Bravely Second: End Layer, we received a lot of comments mainly … [Read more...] about The making of Bravely Default 2, a return to form built on demos, mistakes, and Octopath Traveler

The new Mortal Kombat movie trailer has been released, and it features various infamous characters from throughout the franchise's history. Sub Zero, Shang Tsung, and Raiden all make appearances, with fans praising the bloody direction that filmmaker Simon McQuoid has taken the movie down. However, there has been some controversy over Mileena’s appearance. The fighter, played by Sisi Stringer, does not have quite the same gruesome, toothy look as she has in the vide-games.

Over the past year, many of us have been spending more time than ever at home, working with a PC setup that may or may not be set up for ergonomic comfort. Even if you've got a gaming chair with great lumbar support, padded wrist rests, and your monitor set at the proper eye level, there are aspects of your setup that can still leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable. For me, it's the fact that my feet don't really reach the ground properly whenever I sit up straight in my chair, and this is fairly common--many people are too short for the chair they're in, or the height of your desk requires you to increase the height of your chair past the point of comfort.

The best part is that it's covered in a soft, plush material that feels downright incredible on your feet, while its high-density foam interior offers enough support and a gentle … [Read more...] about This Under-Desk Footrest Is An Ergonomic Dream For Gaming And Work
