It was a sad day for comic book fans in late April when we reported that The CW was cancelling “Legends of Tomorrow” and “Batwoman.” While the latter was mired in some controversy following the departure of series lead Ruby Rose after season one, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” was a fan favorite. Imagine our surprise when The CW announced 7 additional series cancellations today. Confirmed cancelled series include “Charmed” (the 2018 reboot now on season 4), “The 4400” (2021 reboot), “Naomi,” “Roswell New Mexico” (2019 reboot), “Dynasty” (2017 reboot) and “Legacies.” The upcoming fourth season of “In the Dark” will…

Talk about a sale that turned out to be a bust! People will frequently discuss among friends or in online posts the surprising steals they come across when shopping at Goodwill stores. Heck, last year a Pasta Maker 2000 was found at a thrift store. But that purchase turned out to be a figurative bust, in the sense that it was not worth the money that was paid for it. The same can not be said about a 2018 acquisition from a Texas Goodwill which was a literal bust statue that turned out to be over 2,000 years old. Even…

Looks like things in Oz just got a bit more complicated. It’s almost fitting that a movie steeped in its own legend and issues would have one of its most famous pieces of clothing also surrounded by storied twists and turns. Only a couple of weeks ago, we reported that one of the only remaining complete dresses Judy Garland wore in “The Wizard of Oz” was found in a shoebox, and was headed for auction. Now, there’s a lawsuit seeking to stop the auction from happening. In case you didn’t read the previous article, here’s a quick recap to catch…

It’s a partnership that dates back to 1993 with the release of “FIFA International Soccer.” Twenty-nine years later, that relationship comes to close as game developer and publisher Electronic Arts (EA) will no longer be partnering with FIFA for their yearly soccer games. The upcoming release of “FIFA 2023” will mark the end of the collaboration, with both companies focusing on separate soccer projects. EA announced the news themselves on Tuesday, May 10th. A coy way of making the bad news seem not so bad, the game publisher starts off by discussing how an exciting new era is coming to…

Many a “Star Wars” fan’s heart sank when major changes were made to the Expanded Universe following the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm. For decades, numerous Star Wars novels helped fill the universe beyond what the movies showed us. In particular, there was a golden period from the early ’90s to the early 2000’s where a fantastic number of stories were told. …And yeah, there were some clunkers too. Today, these stories are regarded as the Legends canon, completely distinct from the current continuity. That being said, certain elements have found their way into the current timeline, like the villainous Grand…

Arby’s- they have THE MEATS! They have more than that too, but ‘the meats’ is something they really wanted to emphasize in their commercials. Others would prefer to emphasize some of the other menu samplings, like say, their dessert menu. In particular the Arby’s signature treat- a shake that combines the tastes of Kona coffee, chocolate, and whip cream into what they have dubbed the Jamocha Shake. If you’re a fan of the frosty beverage but want to take that love affair even further, well, Arby’s has just the thing for you: the Jamocha Shake bath bomb. That’s right; in…

In the middle of Upstate New York, it is not an uncommon sight to see cars stopping because a gaggle of Canadian geese strolling across the road. Annoying as it is, at least they tend to move along pretty quick. And, if your vehicle moves slowly enough, they’ll scatter out of the way with no harm done to them. We’ve also discussed watching out for moose on the road in Canada. Oh, and to make sure they don’t lick your vehicle for the salt. But that’s North America. Now imagine you’re in Tanzania, and you have to deal with lions…

If you’ve ever asked yourself the question “How many ‘The Walking Dead’ shows and spin-offs do we REALLY need?” The answer to that query is apparently at least one more than previously thought. If you didn’t know, AMC’s first “The Walking Dead” spin-off, “Fear the Walking Dead” had a one-off special called “Dead in the Water” that premiered on AMC+ earlier this year. Proving once again that even though the franchise has grown stale, the network continues to let it shamble on like an inanimate corpse. That said, if you’re dead-set on watching it (pun fully intended), it is now…

Some pieces of media are just tailor made for video games; “Star Wars” is one of them. Between its interesting characters, vast lore, number of different spaceships, lasers and lightsabers there’s a litany of games that could be made featuring all those things. Well, there is a litany of Star Wars games out there. Some of them are shining examples of stellar game design and and incredibly well beloved. Others are bantha poodoo. In honor of May the 4th, we’re going to be looking at five of the best and worst “Star Wars” games to hit the market. Please keep…

The moving and shaking in the game industry is continuing with an unexpected move today. On May 2nd, noted Japanese developer and publisher Square Enix agreed to sell a number of its western-based intellectual properties and studios to the Sweden based Embracer Group. For the tune of $300 million, Embracer will acquire Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, an Square Enix Montreal. Along with this comes notable gaming franchises like “Tomb Raider,” “Deus Ex,” and forgotten ones like “Gex” and “Legacy of Kain.” We previously reported on other acquisitions in the video game world, such as Sony’s purchase of Bungie and Microsoft’s…
