The Girlfriend Series-Premiere Recap: Unreliable Narrators

by

In a simpler and more conversational tone,

Creating a pilot in any genre can be challenging due to the heavy load of necessary backstory or explanations. The show “The Girlfriend” adds an extra layer of complexity by switching perspectives between its two leading characters, Laura and Cherry. Laura is a successful gallery owner, while Cherry is her son’s ambitious real estate agent girlfriend. They both vie for the attention of Daniel, a medical student with a youthful charm. By showing events from both women’s viewpoints, there might have been some interesting dynamics if their interpretations of situations differed significantly or if the plot progressed with each switch. Unfortunately, we witness all events first through Laura’s eyes and then revisit them through Cherry’s, which feels repetitive and even slightly condescending. The core plot idea is that each woman views the other as a rival adversary. We don’t need to see reminders of their past interactions being friendly or unfriendly to grasp this concept.

New Nintendo Patent Could Reshape The Future Of Pokemon-Inspired Games

by

The application for a patent (submitted through Games Fray) was submitted in March 2023 and approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office without any challenges. The patent seems to be centered on games similar to Pokemon, as suggested by its detailed description and illustrations. However, there’s apprehension that the broad language of the patent might enable Nintendo to take legal action against other game companies if their games have mechanics resembling those of the patented one in a vague manner.

Hollow Knight: Silksong speedrunners are already beating it in under 90 minutes

by

Certain games are designed with speedrunning in mind, and Team Cherry’s Silksong is no exception. The original Hollow Knight boasted an active community of speedrunners (given the six-year wait, they had to find something to occupy their time), and the sequel’s smooth movement and tough stages are irresistible to those pursuing records.
