READ MORE: The 2015 Indiewire TIFF Bible In an age of rampant video diaries and increasingly sophisticated gaming experiences, the idea of a movie shot entirely in first person is so obvious it’s surprising that the genre hasn’t already taken off. The Russian action-thriller "Hardcore" takes the…

So, you’ve decided to start dating. But instead of diving headlong into a committed monogamous partnership—or one of those polyamorous ones that’s really more about booty-calling whoever’s around—you’re going to date casually . Which is to say, an ongoing but uncommitted relationship wherein the…

In the pantheon of sexual fantasies blissful to imagine but volatile to undertake, threesomes are near the top of the list. It might seem like a ménage à trois should be an easy sell: more hands! More mouths! More genitals! More fun! Yet such logic evades the emotional brains driving our…

So I’m halfway across the planet in a crowded hall, astride a unicorn with a young woman touching my face and repeating, “You look just like her!” Admittedly, I didn’t see this coming. I’m a cosplayer, and I work for CD Projekt RED as the official Yennefer of Vengerberg for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.…

I don't think I've weighed in much on this whole 'Walking Simulator' concept that adventure games have devolved into in recent years. The whole thing where there is no gameplay besides wandering around an empty environment looking for dialogue and cutscenes to bring the story across. Prominent…

There's something missing from indie narrative experiment Her Story : namely, the "story" part. To be fair, Her Story does some interesting things with the idea of video game narrative. The focus of the game is on discovery and research. Settled in front of an ancient (and completely ridiculous)…

C an we just start with the most obvious thing? The show was called Key and Peele . Excusing the “e” in that second surname, it was a title that seemed like a directive. Whether “peel” was to “reveal or expose” and “key” was an adjective meaning “crucial,” a verb meaning “to scar or deface,” or a…

The last four times porn star James Deen tried to cast a black male performer in a scene for his website, the female star or her agent refused.

Welcome again to the 1980s, an era of great political and cultural change and importantly for us, changes in the entertainment we played and watched.

Illustration by Victor Kerlow “Is the moon getting bigger and bigger?” my three-year-old asked, surveying the horizon. “No, honey,” I chuckled. “That’s an optical illusion caused by how close it is to the horizon.” But then I turned and looked. “Please,” the robot begged. “Please kill me.” The robot…

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google , a leader in efforts to create driverless cars, has run into an odd safety conundrum: humans. Last month, as one of Google’s self-driving cars approached a crosswalk, it did what it was supposed to do when it slowed to allow a pedestrian to cross, prompting its…

A listing of N.F.L. scores usually includes a lot of familiar numbers: 21, 14, 35, 17. But this season, just maybe, there might be an unfamiliar number in the mix. Could an N.F.L. game actually end, say, 23-1? It is one of the oddities of American football that a team can score 2, 3, 4, 5 or even…
