Avowed has a wide variety of weapons that you can mix and match in any way you wish, ideal for shaping the game to your whim as you work your way through The Living Lands. With so many build combinations you have tons of freedom in how you approach combat—and then double it because you have two loadouts, giving you the ability to really change things up on the fly. - Billy Givens Read More
Role-playing games are known to be lengthy adventures that can keep you busy for weeks, months, or years, some totalling well over 100 hours. As such, it's not surprising you'd want to know just how long you'll be spending in Obsidian Entertainment's newest RPG, Avowed, and whether it's worth your time and money. If you're curious about how long it will take to beat this exciting RPG, we'll fill you in on what to expect below. - Billy Givens Read More
If you were to watch any trailers or marketing material for Obsidian's role-playing hit Avowed, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume the game is strictly a first-person affair. With this focus on first-person melee combat in every video around, you may be shocked to hear that it actually provides a third-person option as well. Here's how to switch to third-person in Avowed, and whether it gains you any advantages. - Billy Givens Read More
For those who like the smell of gunpowder during their trip through The Living Lands, there are a lot of great pistols to find in Avowed. Snagging the best one, though, will have to wait until you're in the game's final region, Galawain's Tusks. The Magic Pistol may have a generic name, but it's a damn fine weapon to keep on your hip. Here's what to know about the Magic Pistol and where to find it. - Billy Givens Read More
Avowed features three starting classes, each focused on specific archetypes that most role-playing fans are certain to recognize. While you can mix and match abilities between these different classes throughout your adventure, picking the one that appeals most to you can have a significant impact on your early hours in the game. Here are the basics of each starting class in Avowed. - Billy Givens Read More
If you haven't kept up with Mortal Kombat 1 in recent weeks, you've probably missed the new character that's whipped the fanbase into a frenzy. No, I'm not talking about the Conan the Barbarian DLC fighter that's been pretty overshadowed by all this. I'm talking about a pink ninja named Floyd who's been added as a hidden boss. Also, yeah, he's totally named after the band Pink Floyd. - Samuel Moreno Read More
The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is a few weeks old now in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and it has shifted the game's competitive landscape by leaps and bounds. Up to this point, Psychic decks have ruled the roost. Mewtwo ex, combined with the Energy generation of Gardevoir, inflicted such high burst damage that it held fast as one of the game's most dangerous cards since launch. Now it seems Mewtwo ex's meta-dominating days will come to an end, as another card has quickly overtaken its throne. - Timothy Monbleau Read More
One of the earliest quests you'll receive in Avowed is 'Message From Afar,' which sends you to the northwestern corner of Dawnshore to explore the Strangleroot. Here, you'll face off against a fearsome bear, meet a new NPC, and ultimately have a fresh conversation with the Voice you've been hearing in your head. - Billy Givens Read More
If you're the kind of person who likes ripping through baddies with an axe, you'll probably enjoy Avowed's selection of skull-splitters. There are quite a few solid choices to wield, but Drawn in Winter—which can be obtained early in the game—is an incredible option to run with, good through the entire adventure. Here's what you need to know about Drawn in Winter and where to find it. - Billy Givens Read More
Many of the Marvel Rivals Duelists settle in nicely into specific roles. Psylocke functions perfectly as an assassin while Hawkeye is meant to be used at range. But if you're looking for an easy-to-pick-up hero with more flexibility, there is plenty of fun to be had with Magik. - Samuel Moreno Read More

‘Something Beautiful' Review: Miley Cyrus Stays Adventurous
For pop singers of the 21st century, sustaining a career over the long haul involves a certain amount of fan service. Social media has vastly expanded and intensified the connection between superstars and their audience, and the expectation is that the artist will deliver what the masses want—new tracks, videos, collaborations and tours—at regular intervals in order to keep the faithful interested and engaged. Like Taylor and her 'Swifties,' singer Miley Cyrus has an army of followers with a nickname, the 'Smilers,' but her career path has been unpredictable, and she typically leaves her fans guessing what she might do next. In this and other respects, Ms. Cyrus stands out from her pop-star peers. While many of them tap into a fairly small pool of musical inspirations, she draws on genres from across the spectrum, including a hefty dose of classic rock from the '70s and '80s. In interviews leading up to her ninth studio release and its accompanying film, 'Something Beautiful' (Columbia), she identified Pink Floyd's 1979 album and 1982 film 'The Wall' as a particular inspiration. Nothing on the record, out Friday, evokes the sound or themes of the English band's sprawling opus. But Ms. Cyrus's aesthetic adventurousness is intact, for better and for worse.

Barry Keoghan Says Working With The Weeknd Will Help Him Portray Ringo Starr in Beatles Biopic (Exclusive)
It's not every day that you get the chance to work with a legendary musician, and when the opportunity arises, you grab it. At least that's what Barry Keoghan, Jenna Ortega and director Trey Edward Shults thought when they were approached about working with The Weeknd (who is credited by his real name, Abel Tesfaye) on his upcoming music-forward film Hurry Up Tomorrow. The film, which hits theaters on May 16, is semi-autobiographical and features music from The Weeknd's latest album, also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow, but it's not exactly a visual album. "I knew this was going to be an experience and a unique movie," Keoghan tells Parade ahead of the movie's release. "I wanted to be part of Abel's vision, and I'm a massive fan of Trey and a massive fan of Jenna. It's a no-brainer when you see that on a page, and I'm up for this sort of challenge of it all." Hurry Up Tomorrow is certainly a singular project. Tesfaye plays a fictional musician who goes by Abel/The Weeknd as his fame drives him into madness, with Ortega playing a mysterious woman he crosses paths with and Keoghan as a calming force on Abel/The Weeknd's management team. It's not a biopic, not a music video, not a drama and not a documentary, but some melding of them all. Tesfaye and Shults cite a bevy of inspiration for the project, including musician-forward projects like Prince's Purple Rain and Pink Floyd's The Wall, as well as traditional films like Raging Bull, Persona and Jacob's Ladder. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Interestingly enough, Tesfaye dreamt up the idea for Hurry Up Tomorrow, the movie, before putting together his album of the same name. He didn't even write most of the movie's/album's music until after filming had wrapped. "I was in a unique position where I was able to score to picture and write music to picture," he says about the process. "It was maybe two records that were actually complete [before filming], and then the final song, which I had to write the day before I performed it. So those were the only couple songs that were done. After that, I got to write lyrics that bring scenes out, and some scenes that didn't make the film, I got to turn into songs." Writing a song the night before you film an entire scene based around it certainly seems nerve-wracking. "I blacked out that week," Tesfaye says. "Definitely a lot of pressure, but look, writing and performing a song, it's a very vulnerable moment." Related: Tesfaye's decision to create Hurry Up Tomorrow makes a lot more sense after realizing that the Super Bowl Halftime performer is also quite the cinephile. In fact, he hand-selected his collaborators based on their previous work. "Abel wanted to meet," Shults says, beginning the story of how he joined the project. "Huge fan," Tesfaye interrupts. It was Shults' film Waves that inspired him to reach out. "I could tell he was a genuine huge fan, too," Shults remembers of their first meeting. "We basically connected over an idea, and honestly, I was in a little bit of a rut after Waves. I was kind of depressed and not excited about movies, and that's why it's been a minute. Then I started getting inspiration again, but the the first time I got the full light bulb, excited inspiration with writing and a project was this. After our meeting, we ran with that momentum. We met in October, I wrote the outline with Abel in November, there was a draft by December, and we were shooting in February." But Shults wasn't the only member of the team Tesfaye courted. "I was a huge fan of Sacred Deer," Tesfaye says regarding Keoghan's film The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Such a fan that Tesfaye went up to Keoghan at a party and introduced himself well before Hurry Up Tomorrow was in the works. "I always knew you were gonna play [the part] if you would accept the role." For Ortega, who was coming off the success of Wednesday, the atmosphere that Shults and Tesfaye fostered on the Hurry Up Tomorrow set appealed to her. "I was kind of unsure what to do," she says about selecting projects after Wednesday. "I swear my career was almost like night and day. It all just opened up. So I was taking meetings, and Trey and Abel are such incredibly kind, warm, just comfortable people to be around, and are such cinephiles and fans of movie themselves. It instantly was apparent to me that this was a team that I wanted to be associated just felt like a very collaborative space, so that's why I joined." Related: While one may think that working with someone as famous as The Weeknd, and someone without much acting experience to boot, could be difficult, Keoghan describes the shoot as "comfy." Ortega echoes that sentiment: "It felt very relaxed in the best way possible." Keoghan also compared working on Hurry Up Tomorrow to working on "student movies where everyone's just there to get it, and everyone's on the same page." Collaborating so closely with Tesfaye also gave Keoghan the opportunity to witness a massive superstar on an intimate level. Keoghan was recently cast to play Ringo Starr of The Beatles in an upcoming biopic, and when asked if he'll be channeling any of his experience with The Weeknd into his Ringo performance, he responded in the affirmative. "Yeah, I know Abel as Abel, and that's sort of a different thing. I can really separate the two. And for me, this movie even puts Abel in a different place that I think I've never seen Abel," says Keoghan of his time with Tesfaye. "It's sort of like we're seeing a new person. I'm always curious and observant, and I take in what I can." Hurry Up Tomorrow premieres in theaters on May 16.
