I would suggest checking out The Thing prequel from 2011 but with a different perspective. I read that they actually built practical creatures first, but many were later replaced with CGI. Some behind-the-scenes footage shows the original practical versions, and honestly, they looked better to...

They had one job: don't make Maui look like a inflatable pool toy with a bad toupee. And they failed spectacularly. The suit puffs in all the wrong places and the hair is tragic. Trailer otherwise looks solid – nice shots, good music callbacks, Catherine seems capable. But every time Maui shows...

Honestly, I think people are just tired of fake polished scripts that feel the same every season. Reality TV gives you real people messing up, crying, fighting over nothing – it's messy and human. Bake Off stands out because nobody is trying to be mean on purpose, it's just gentle pressure and...

I feel like this is one of those cases where writers think they are being bold, but they forget how players will feel. I do not need every character to have a complicated story. Sometimes simple is better. Alex was already liked by many people. He did not need this kind of twist.

This makes me happy. NES homebrew getting love from big names like Artix is rare. He started with a silly web game, built an empire, then came back to 6502 code for fun. Dale Coop’s technical magic saved the project many times. The dog fetch skill inspired by his real dog Daimyo is touching...

Yeah I’m actually relieved it got canceled. Zatanna’s whole thing is backward magic, showbiz confidence, and kicking butt against supernatural threats. She doesn’t sit around having breakdowns, she solves problems with style. Fennell admitting she knew nothing about the character and wasn’t into...

Not excited. Stranger Things should stay live-action. Animation feels like a cash grab side project. Different people making it? Probably won't capture the same feeling. And theaters for two episodes? Come on. If it was the whole season maybe, but this is weird. I'll wait for reviews after April...

I really hope Catherine Lagaʻaia gets proper media training before the promotion for this Moana remake. Social media can be extremely unforgiving, especially for young actors who are suddenly in the spotlight. There are people who will look for anything to criticize, particularly those who...

The “Dexter meets Arthur” description made me laugh, but it’s also accurate. The comic’s tone is so weird and unsettling under its cute art. I like that IDW didn’t just make another card or board game but went for something that relies on player storytelling. I think this kind of design lets...

I’m really sad they changed C. Viper’s theme song. She doesn’t have her original lyrical theme anymore, and I really miss it. “My Name is Viper, Crimson Viper” was so iconic, and I used to sing that repetitive lyric all the time while playing. It gave her character so much personality and made...

I never thought about the possibility of crying underwater until now, and I find it fascinating. The article explains well that tears can still be produced below the surface since lacrimal glands do not stop working just because a person is in water. What makes sense to me is that the tears just...

Not really into heavy emotional games, but the ARG part and multiple endings actually caught my interest. I like games that challenge you to pay attention. If the clues and paths are well-hidden, I might give this one a shot. It kind of reminds me of early indie horror where the game had more...

A bull for Conan’s animality? That’s absolutely genius! It captures his raw power and unrelenting nature so well. I can already imagine charging opponents with devastating horn attacks—it’s going to be brutal and so satisfying. I love how Mortal Kombat always finds a way to make these little...

The original Okami was seriously underrated back in the day. It won a bunch of awards, but most gamers were obsessed with shooters then. You know, the whole 'bro' culture thing. Hopefully, this sequel gets the recognition it deserves. It's a shame that such a unique and beautiful game was...

I'm old school. I want to see classic Fatal Fury characters. Guest characters like Ronaldo are just distractions. If they wanted to do a crossover, they should have brought in a Street Fighter character since Mai and Terry are already in Street Fighter 6.
