Sleep and comfort are two things that are very tied together and also very elusive. It can be hard to find either of them at times, especially when the latter often requires the former. People have a number of tricks they can try to employ to get comfortable enough to sleep and various aides like weighted blankets and body pillows can help with this. But let’s say you wanted a more… unique body pillow. Something that’s a bit more, “a-peal-ing” than usual? Then we’ve got just the thing for you. You NEED this Banana Pillow! This is a banana body…

Oh Valentine’ Day. There are so many songs about love; indeed it may be the one subject that has more songs written about it than any other. Unless you’re Talking Heads that is, in which case there’s only one song that gets sung to a lamp in a live setting, according to David Byrne. But anyway, we wanted to bring you five songs that fit Valentine’s Day by actually having the word “valentine” in the title, but you may find out that most of them aren’t very happy. David Bowie – “Valentine’s Day” It’s hard to believe that its been…

If you missed Sony’s latest State of Play earlier this week, you missed out on a lot of content ranging from, “Oh that’s interesting” to, “So that’s a game, then?” But we’d like to take a moment to shed some light on one of the bigger highlights of the presentation, Konami. The once legendary gaming developer has had some intense ups and downs over the last decade and a half or so, and there presence at the “State of Play” shows they are coming back in a big way. To understand why their announcements were so big, we need to…

It has not been an easy start to 2026. We’ve already had upheavals in the socio-political world, bad movies, and untimely celebrity passings. And while we can’t ignore the sad and the unfortunate when they happen, we do want to try to boost your spirits too with things that are fun, cute, and educational. That’s why we bring you, BATS! Yes, the flying rodents that some people are absolutely terrified of but are actually adorable little furry faces who eat mosquitos. Maybe you don’t think they’re adorable (you’re wrong), but the science of bats is amazing and we’re continuing to…

It’s very safe to say no one expected “KPop Demon Hunters” to blow up as big as it did. Even the people at Sony who produced the film didn’t, otherwise they wouldn’t have sold it to Netflix. Merchandise for the film has been hot, whether it be the soundtrack, Halloween costumes, or figures. Speaking of the latter, if you’re in the market for some super high-quality ones, Sideshow Collectables has unveiled the Hot Toys “Kpop Demon Hunters” line. If you’re not familiar with the company, Sideshow distributes a number of collectibles from big franchises including juggernauts Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter,…

1996 was one hell of a year for video games. It was the year the Nintendo 64 dropped. Super Mario 64 redefined gaming in a 3D environment. It was also the same year that brought us “Resident Evil,” the Japanese debut of “Pokémon,” and “Crash Bandicoot.” It also just so happened to be the year the world was introduced to one of the most famous female characters in gaming, Lara Croft. Yes, it was 30 years ago that “Tomb Raider” debuted, and the franchise plans to celebrate in style. “Tomb Raider” holds an interesting place in the gaming landscape. By…

We are very excited to share the first look at Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming film, “I Play Rocky.” Starring Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone, it will release this Thanksgiving. It’s a date even more significant, thanks to the fifty years of “Rocky” history behind it. On November 21st, 1976 “Rocky” was released in theaters and became a cultural touchstone. The film, written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, was an underdog story both in its plot and in real-life. Stallone was a struggling actor who had managed to knock out a screenplay that he knew he needed to play the lead…

Music, like all art, is going to mean different things to different people. It will forever by a creative force that is subjective. This is why listicles of the best songs will always be subject to debate. That’s a good thing though; it gets people thinking and discussing their passions. That’s why we absolutely respect the effort that went into the list of the 50 Greatest TV Theme Songs that was written over at Consequence of Sound. And now let’s talk about how absurd the list is and where it has some significant faults. Again, opinions being opinions, there is…

Considering what I had to sit through in order to be able to write this review, I feel like you, as a reader, deserve better. So, I’m going to cut right to the quick and let you know that “Return to Silent Hill” is a bad movie. What’s worse is that it’s not even a movie that’s so bad it’s good. This isn’t a “War of the Worlds” type of awful film where you wonder what everyone involved was thinking or doing. Instead, we have a movie that has every intention of trying to be something interesting and finds multiple…

It is not going well at Ubisoft lately. The gaming giant coincidentally shuttered its Halifax division shortly after it unionized. The company claimed it was all part of an overall restructuring which, okay, maybe. Regardless, it seemed to portend problems. And now we see more evidence with the announcement of six outright cancelled games, and numerous delays. Ubisoft’s track record has been spotty recently. High profile franchises like “Far Cry,” “Splinter Cell,” and “Assassin’s Creed” have grown fairly stale, and “Star Wars: Outlaws” woefully underperformed in sales. We don’t know what the path moving forward for the company is, but…
