The world of asymmetrical multiplayer games has seen a tremendous amount of growth over the last ten years or so. Some gamers may remember when “Evolve” tried to break into the scene as one of the first major titles, but flopped hard with an intensely aggressive DLC push. But the idea of a super powerful character battling against a team of weaker opponents found its way to other games and intellectual properties. Arguably, the one that did it the best was “Friday the 13th: The Game,” and it’s about to shut down for good. In 2017, an online only multiplayer…

Some things will never change. The moon and sun will always rise and set, people will live and die, and Chevy Chase will forever be a complete jerk. The problem with Chevy is that not only has he been this way for decades but he’s been called out on it, doesn’t want to change, and doesn’t offer any apology for what a condescending human being he is. While this has been documented on many occasions, it happened again in the most asinine way possible. Earlier this year, Jason Reitman directed and co-wrote the film “Saturday Night.” It’s a partly fictionalized…

A little over two years ago, no one would’ve predicted we would be reporting about scandals in the world of chess. And then, like a twisted fallen angel descending to Earth, came the anal beads. After that, the floodgates opened. Hans Niemann is suspected of cheating, someone makes a reddit joke about him using vibrating anal beads to be sent moves to use, and grandmaster Magnus Carlsen refuses to play him. Now, the aforementioned chess grandmaster has found himself in hot water because of his choice of pants. Or at least, he did. New York is currently playing home to…

Belief is a powerful thing. There are some people who believe ghosts are real, that Elvis never died, and that the Earth is flat. We even talked about how some flat-earthers literally went to Antarctica to prove their theory. Sometimes those beliefs get in the way of common sense and safety. Which is what happened to two men in Oregon while searching for one of the most famous cryptids of them all, Sasquatch. On Christmas Eve, a 59-year-old and 37-year-old left home, reportedly in search of Sasquatch. The creature is known by other names, but most commonly as Bigfoot in…

Tom Hardy has played many a role in his day. The man has played “Mad” Max Rockatansky, Eddie Brock/Venom, Al Capone, Bane, and Heathcliff from “Wuthering Heights.” His acting chops are unquestionable across film and television. Come to find out, he also played the role of Santa Claus this season but without the suit and the name. Instead, he took it upon himself to try and help pay the wages of set construction workers after their company went into liquidation. Hardy has been working on the upcoming Guy Ritchie series, which is potentially named “Fixer.” The series also features Helen…

The ceaseless march of technological advancement has impacted a number of industries. Online shopping has done a number on brick and mortar retailers and even those that do remain open have changed their inventories to match changing trends. For example, Best Buy stopped carrying CDs back in 2018, and are phasing out physical media like DVDs and Blu-rays in 2025. Sadly, one of the last holdouts in record stores will be closing its doors in the near future. Sam Goody was one of the biggest music store chains in the country for decades. What began in the 50s, selling LP’s,…

An upcoming Pixar animated show titled “Win or Lose” is the subject of controversy. The series is about a co-ed middle school softball team, and was made to air on the House of Mouse streaming service, Disney+. While the show itself seems to be your run of the mill young people dealing with life, growing up, and the challenges therein, “Win or Lose” was theoretically going to tackle something else, too. Actress Chanel Stewart, who responded to the original series casting call for a trans actress, was 14 when she was selected to voice one of the characters in the…

For millennia, scientists, mathematicians, and people receptive to learning have understood the Earth is a round sphere. Thanks to a combination of factors, there are arguably more people today that believe the Earth is flat than in the last 2000 years. Part of this is a sense of paranoia and mistrust in authority, part of it is social media influence having a very negative impact on others. But some of these flat-earthers got a shock to their belief system thanks to a recent trip to Antarctica. There are many things that flat-earthers claim are impossible. One of these is the…

The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson sent ripples through the country. It’s not like the private health insurance industry is known for being personable and pleasant. Then when it was discovered that the murder was committed by a young valedictorian with a chronic health issue, everything took on another level of interest and discussion. Luigi Mangione has been arrested in connection with the case. To some, he’s a hero, to others, an alleged murderer. Soon, he’s going to be the subject of at least two documentaries (so far). Depending on who you talk to, you’ll get either shock and…

With all the shows and films that are constantly coming out, you may have forgotten Marvel Studios has an upcoming series about Nova. If you grew up watching PBS, you may think that this is something about a science television program, but no! This Nova is about Richard Rider, the superhero member of Nova Corps that took on the titular name of that organization. It was originally announced a while ago, kind of went away for a bit, came back, then went away, and now it’s back again. Not only is it back, it’s back as a series with a…
