Are people still playing Skyrim? Apparently. It’s just going to be one of those games that a certain segment of the gaming community is always going to consider “home.” Playing Skyrim on the Xbox Series X is sort of like breaking it in, setting up all your old furniture, hanging your family pictures, and putting away the family silverware in the attic to never see again. Thanks to the Xbox Series X’s awesome power, however, you can play Skyrim in a way that’s been previously reserved only for PC players....

While he was eventually overtaken by T-Series, PewDiePie was once the most-subscribed YouTube channel in the world, with a staggering 109 million subscribers at the time of this writing.

YouTube channel Cocomelon is currently at 105 million subscribers and counting....

This is a spoiler-free review. What We Do in the Shadows season 3 brings new duties, old flames, sad farewells, and happy endings – though those are mainly enjoyed by Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry), who discovers a treasure trove of the rarest pornography in the known world. There will also be a trip for Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to the three corners of the earth, which Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak) will learn is round, therefore having no corners, but also not held up on the shoulders of four elephants....

Why is it that the palest, whitest, least diverse people snag up jobs from BAME actors only to add their own ‘flair?’ Their flair is as bright as a dimly lit, dying light bulb, but they’re so white, it’s enough to give them a fucking sunburn. It’s a terrible attempt at impersonating an accent that leans entirely on stereotypes and outdated gags - a virtual minstrel show. Cartoon voice actors are finally starting to see the problem and moving on from these roles that they should have never had, but video games?...

The waitress jams her foot against the door, and yells down the phone line for help – all the time, the goo seeps in through the gaps. The music rises to a crescendo. The booth begins to creak under the blob’s raw strength....

If you ever sit down to watch 20th Century Fox’s original trailer for Miracle on 34th Street, a few things might appear strange. Right off the bat it’s unique—unprecedented even—to market a new release without any real footage from the film. Other than a few seconds of the movie’s opening titles and an actual shot from the picture’s final seconds, audiences were told nothing about Miracle on 34th Street other than it was “hilarious!...

The spring anime season has arrived, bringing with it a new crop of series. Good thing too, because we have two major voids to fill with no new episodes of Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan for at least another year. The current slate of shows features some returning series like the popular rom-com Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, but the biggest show of the season is a newcomer: Spy x Family....

There’s been a lot of spooky places in the world of Azeroth throughout the 15 years that World of Warcraft has been around. With the upcoming Shadowlands expansion, players will enter a nightmarish realm that exists on the edge of reality and is basically the afterlife. Some of the areas in the current game are still extremely creepy and have very interesting and disturbing lore tied to them.
