Sony's PlayStation Plus is a fantastic subscription service that offers the ability to play multiplayer games online, the option to chat in a party with your friends, and two free games to download every month. And though that is one hell of a deal ā whether you pay the full $60 a year for the membership or find it on sale during the holidays ā it somehow never stops some people from complaining about the games they're receiving for free. And unfortunately, that's exactly the case with August's recently announced offerings.
The past few months have been some of the best ever to be a Netflix subscriber, as the platform has worked overtime to ensure that users have plenty of content to stream while they're stuck inside for quarantine purposes. This month alone has brought with it substantial new additions such as the multiple reality flick Cloud Atlas, emotional boxing drama Million Dollar Baby, horror classic Paranormal Activity, and the original The Karate Kid trilogy in its entirety.
Holiday 2020 aims to finally bring new next-gen hardware into the hands of gamers across the world with releases of the PlayStation 5, and Sony's console is shaping up to be one hell of a machine full of incredible games. Of course, many of these upcoming titles will take advantage of all of the new features the PS5 will be capable of offering, such as ray tracing, higher framerates and resolutions, unique controller advancements, and even vast improvements to audio. It's exciting stuff for early adopters, but what about those who either can't afford to buy a PS5 or simply aren't interested?
The Walking Dead is one of television's most successful shows, but it didn't achieve that status by scaring people with zombies or having the absolute best stories to tell every week. It achieved it through years of meaningful character interactions and important dialogue that has given us reasons to care about the people who inhabit the increasingly dangerous world within the series.
AMC's The Walking Dead is no stranger to introducing compelling new characters each season. The cast has grown from being a small group of survivors to a massive collection of unique and memorable people who occupy various settlements within the show's canon. While not every character is as important to the larger plot of the series, they all serve as meaningful reminders that society is thriving again and that the world Rick began to rebuild will continue to grow and prosper.
The Walking Dead has had a colorful cast of villains throughout its 10 seasons so far, including such nemeses as season 3 and 4's The Governor and season 9 and 10's bad guy group The Whisperers, led by the now-deceased Alpha and her right-hand-man Beta. These unique baddies have been compelling to watch, but none have impacted the show in such a meaningful way as the beloved scoundrel Negan, who turned up in season 6 to kill off two popular characters and wreak havoc on Rick and his group for two more seasons. And according to the man who plays said character, the series would be a lot less lively without him.
Following May's poorly-received PlayStation Plus offerings, Sony has really seemed eager to make up for it with tons of excellent games to download each month since. June knocked it out of the park by giving away Call of Duty: WWII and Star Wars Battlefront II, and then July marked the 10th anniversary of the service and included 3 great games: NBA 2K20, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20th Anniversary EditionĀ and a special addition of interactive experience Erica for celebration purposes. It seems only fitting that August would continue the trend, then, and it's doing exactly that.
There have been a ton of phenomenal sales going on for the summer, and they don't seem to be stopping any time soon. As a matter of fact, PlayStation 4's ongoing Summer Sale has over 300 titles discounted for thrifty gamers looking for a good time, with plenty of high-profile and indie games just waiting to be grabbed up and downloaded. Of course, some of those discounts are deeper than others, and a handful of them are so cheap that not buying them would feel almost criminal.
The Walking Dead comics and subsequent TV show has never gone very far into the origins of the viral outbreak that has overtaken humanity and turned them into zombies. It's touched on lightly throughout the mainline series as it becomes likely that it is an airborne virus, and Fear the Walking Dead tackled some of the early days of the outbreak, but we've never been given a definitive answer as to where the pandemic began and how it initially spread to humans. Or have we?
