It’s funny how when something is first released, we can overlook its mistakes, flaws, and shortcomings. Maybe it’s because we’re just awed by how new and different it is. Or, if it’s something from our past, maybe we were just too young to notice the issues. Either way, it’s always a gamble of sorts when you revisit things after a period of absence to see how they hold up. In this case of classic video games, some times an older title doesn’t maintain its quality purely because of limitations at the time. In other cases, it’s because they were just…

A moth that hasn’t been seen since 1912 was found in a mans luggage when he came back from the Philippines.

A truck carrying hot dog filler had an accident spilling 15,000 lbs of the pink slime onto a Pennsylvania highway.

It sounds like the start of a fantasy novel but it’s absolutely real. A secret forest was found in a sinkhole in China

He’s been bringing us music for 40 years alongside a cult classic film, and short-lived Saturday morning tv show. But now, America’s greatest son “Weird”Al” Yankovic will be appearing in his very own graphic novel. It may have taken 4/10ths of a century but the pop culture legend and musical parody master will soon be appearing on the illustrated page. Thanks to a team-up between “Weird Al” and Z2 Comics, a number of Yankovic’s songs will be brought to life in a brand new way. “Illustrated Al: The Songs of “Weird Al” Yankovic” is a collection of several artists’ interpretations…

In Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” Sebastian the Crab tries to make the case to Ariel that “everything’s better, down where it’s wetter… under the sea.” He cites a number of underwater creatures that play instruments, and are just pleasant to hang around. Ariel chooses not to listen, and goes for a life on land. She probably would’ve left even before the song started if he told her about a different set of aquatic dwellers; volcano sharks. Granted, a volcano shark does sound like a Pokémon, but that’s because it’s not actually what these oceanic creatures are called. Within the Solomon…

Some people like salty foods, others have a sweet tooth. Some people find themselves out in the flavor wastelands, looking for something to scratch both itches simultaneously. Well, good news is on the way for them- and all of us really- because two flavorful juggernauts are combining forces to form a new taste for a limited-edition treat! Get ready to experience the power of Ritz crackers and Oreo cookies COMBINED! It’s RITZxOREO! Remember crossover fighting game “Street Fighter X Tekken?” Imagine instead of Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, it’s an Oreo cookie. And instead of King, Kazuya, and Heihachi, it’s a…

What can anyone say about the late, great, George Carlin that hasn’t already been said? Who would you get to say it? Directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio seemed to have those questions in their minds when they created the two-part documentary “George Carlin’s American Dream.” Across approximately three and a half hours, the film covers the entirety of Carlin’s life, from his troubled homelife, to his last days. And to ensure that it had something interesting to say, and someone interesting to say it, much of the story is told by Carlin himself. There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking or novel…

The “Star Wars” universe is as defined by its music and sound effects as it is by its characters and settings. The ignition of a lightsaber, the whine of a TIE Fighter, Darth Vader’s breathing; they’re all instantly recognizable. But there’s still one sound effect that has stuck with me 20 years after it originally reverberated through the theater I heard it in. It’s the sudden silence and resounding twang of a seismic charge. “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones” is a mess. It is easily the weakest fof the first six films. It has some atrocious…

Stop us if you’ve heard this one. You go travelling through different parts of the world, wind up dancing the night away at a rave, and wind up with Monkeypox. No? That’s never happened to you? Well according to scientists, it may have happened to some people. That’s the current leading theory behind why the rare disease has been detected in people across a dozen different countries and multiple continents. The recent rise in monkeypox infections has been making headlines, as would any disease that’s suddenly spreading following COVID-19. The idea of yet another pandemic is justifiably terrifying, even though…
