Obsidian Entertainment has been an incredibly versatile game developer over the years, even venturing outside its RPG comfort zone with the original Grounded. As a survival adventure game where you're shrunken down and explore the hidden, vast world of a backyard, it became a well-loved hit, and it evolved even further throughout its early access period. But now, the developers have big plans for Grounded 2, which has new features and a larger scope that was too big for the original to contain.

The World Birth Rate Is Now Dropping Precipitously

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies Whoever wrote in the Book of Genesis "be fruitful and multiply" never accounted for the cost of children these days, especially when you factor in expenses like college tuition, sports, tutors, clothes and childcare. And that's one of the reasons why people are having less kids, according to new reporting from the BBC.

First Looks at Disneyland Expansion and Disney World's 'Piston Peak' Cars Land

It's been 70 years since Disneyland opened its gates, and the original Disney park is now celebrating its anniversary.

Will People Care About the ‘Minecraft’ Chicken Jockey From the Comfort of Their Homes?

A Minecraft Movie already had a towering built-in fan base thanks to its source material being the best-selling video game of all time. But few could have predicted that the movie—a goofy comedy starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa as human characters who get pulled into the chaotic cubic world—would become a Rocky Horror-style interactive sensation, with wild antics in theaters going viral almost overnight. Director Jared Hess found the “chicken jockey” frenzy to be hilarious; star Black took a

Let’s Talk About the Ending of ‘The Life of Chuck’

“I am large, I contain multitudes.” That quote by poet Walt Whitman looms large over The Life of Chuck, the latest Stephen King adaptation by writer-director Mike Flanagan. It fascinates the title character while he’s in school and, eventually, speaks to the film as a whole, which may leave one or two people scratching their heads at the end.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth and final season

Still, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement that they’ll “complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it.” “From the ve

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end with a truncated fifth season

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will only visit around 26 strange new worlds before shuttling into that cancellation sunset. The show will end with a truncated fifth season of six episodes, according to reporting by Deadline . This news is relatively surprising, given that Strange New Worlds seems like the most popular and successful show of the modern era. However, not a single newer Trek series has made it past five seasons, so maybe that's just the way things go now. It's worth remembering tha

Out of Words is an emotional co-op adventure illustrated with beautiful stop-motion animation

The two main characters of Out of Words are young teens who are falling in love in a coming of age story. But then disaster strikes as they lose their mouths. They try to talk, but can’t anymore. Their mouths are sewn shut. And so begins Out of Words, a co-op platformer adventure. Of all the games that I saw at the Summer Game Fest, this one was the best. The goal of the game is to find the lost voices of the puppet-animated characters. But unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for a while. It’s c

Meta’s V-JEPA 2 model teaches AI to understand its surroundings

Meta on Wednesday unveiled its new V-JEPA 2 AI model, a “world model” that is designed to help AI agents understand the world around them. V-JEPA 2 is an extension of the V-JEPA model that Meta released last year, which was trained on over 1 million hours of video. This training data is supposed to help robots or other AI agents operate in the physical world, understanding and predicting how concepts like gravity will impact what happens next in a sequence.

This Muscle-Powered Robot Might Be the Creepiest Thing We've Ever Seen

Forget valleys; we're now entering veritable Grand Canyons of uncanniness. Behold the robot known as "Protoclone," built by Clone Robotics. It's supposedly the world's first bipedal, musculoskeletal android. But it's mostly just got people extremely creeped out. In a promotional video shared on X this Wednesday, the startup — of which little is known — makes every effort possible to subvert the industry's favored image of robots as servile little helpers there for the good of humankind. Nope.

Bucky, played by Sebastian Stan, and Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, have a Marvel bromance going back almost a decade to the third Captain America film, Civil War. They’ve faced off ever since and, of course, appeared together in 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So when Bucky shows up at a crucial point in the new film it’s a s

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella Pumps the Breaks on AI Hype

The world has yet to turn any of today’s AI hype and spending into a meaningful lift in the actual economy, says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The comments were made during a podcast interview in which he put a measuring stick on AI’s true impact: Success will be measured through global economic growth rather than arbitrary benchmarks of how well AI programs can complete challenges like obscure math puzzles. Those are interesting in isolation but do not have practical utility. The comments seem
