Just about everywhere you looked in the summer of 1995, a pair of simian eyes stared back at you from the poster of Congo. Based on the best-selling Michael Crichton novel, Congo was billed as that year’s equivalent of Jurassic Park – another exciting creature feature with cutting-edge special effects and maybe just a tiny dash of horror. “It’s a little like Alien at the beginning,” enthused director Frank Marshall, “in that it’s based in science fact, and like Indiana Jones at the end, with the lost city of Zinj....

The Terror creeped out audiences last spring with its tale based on a novel by Dan Simmons, which in turn is based on a true story about a failed British expedition into the Arctic to find the Northwest Passage. Full of scares, gore, and despair, The Terror Season 1 was TV horror at its very best. Of course, the end of The Terror‘s 10-episode run raised the question: will there be more episodes from the series down the line?...

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Pretty much every movie studio in town is currently trying to follow the model that’s delivering year after year massive box office success for Disney. The company has streamlined radically over the past 20 years the number of theatrical releases it puts out and has instead centered its slate on expensive, thoroughly mitigated risks. It’s well known now that the annual Disney slate will consist of fewer than 10 films....

This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Episode 1 Where were you when you first realized the podcast host in “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet” was Dan Carlin? I was sitting on my couch, laptop on my coffee table in front of me. It was 6:36 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. I’ll remember it like people remember where they were during the Kennedy Assassination. Anywho, welcome to The Twilight Zone (2019)!...

Super Mario 64 may be 22-years-old, but that hasn’t stopped people from fiddling with Shigeru Miyamoto’s defining platform adventure all these years on. Modder Kaze Emanuar has come up with some pretty awesome results in his time with the game, including introducing Sonic as a playable character. More recently however, he’s now got Mazza’s Nintendo 64 behemoth up and running in widescreen at a buttery-smooth 60fps. It wasn’t an easy task either....

The Dragon Quest Hero has proven to be a polarizing fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate scene and, as such, at least one region has decided to ban his inclusion in official tournaments. The South Australia Smash Central group has announced on Twitter that Hero will be banned in official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate events. The reason given for this is not due to him being overpowered but is due to how so many aspects of the character are based on random elements....

Episode 2’s blurb reads: “In this second episode of the season, the discovery of the Gortys Project fuels a madcap race to find just what the Atlas Corporation was up to prior to Hyperion’s takeover of Pandora....

In what we’re going to assume was a mistake and/or massive oversight rather than something deliberate, the second episode of Telltale’s Batman: The Enemy Within contains an image of Russian diplomat Andrei Karlov, who was assassinated last year at the opening of an art exhibition in Turkey. The second episode of the second season of Telltale’s Batman series is called The Pact, and at one point shows a scene depicting a break-in at the Gotham Brokerage involving Harley Quinn....

The Pokémon games, in general, are known for having rich worlds full of characters who either provide helpful tips or say some of the weirdest stuff you’ll hear in video games. The various regions are filled with people who do strange things, have bizarre obsessions, and confess the oddest things to a young child they’ve never met before.

Kenshi is a fascinating game that gives the player a rich sandbox and lets them do whatever they want. Players can strike out across the wasteland to explore the different areas and factions, they can gather followers and begin building an empire, or they can pillage and plunder the inhabitants of the world with a band of cutthroat recruits. While the vanilla game is incredible, there are some mods that definitely improve things....

This might just be me, but if I’m really into a TV show be it cartoon, or live action, I always think about the possibilities it could have in the video game market. Video games as a medium can provide so much extra flavor and context to a blossoming world and of course, some properties work better than others. I think cartoons are superior in this case, or at the very least based on this list alone, have a better track record of actual good games....

Now that the fifth entry of the billion dollar movie franchise Transformers: The Last Knight is upon us, the Michael Bay-directed action showcases aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. Especially since there are already two more films planned after this one. It’s not all bad new for fans though, because there is a new animated TV series based on the original Generation 1 series and toyline coming too. Unfortunately, many of the video games based on the line of Transformers toys (that started the franchise back in 1984) haven’t reached the same heights set by the quality of the Generation 1 cartoons, or the box office success of the film franchise....

This review contains spoilers. 12.22 The Maternal Conclusion After more than twenty weeks of water treading, The Big Bang Theory has finally served up an episode that feels and operates like a final season instalment. The Maternal Conclusion doesn’t really break new ground or reveal things about long-running characters we didn’t already know, but it is a perfect distillation of a relationship that, until now, has been treated more as a punchline than a dramatic part of Leonard and Beverly’s lives....

The Church of England has taken a firm stance against loot boxes, comparing them to gambling. The Church specifically pointed to them as harmful for children, who they claim can learn bad gambling habits from loot boxes while playing specific games. Recently, members of the UK Parliament made moves to label loot boxes as gambling. The conversation arose when a study by UK’s Department for Digital Culture, Media, and Sports pointed at the psychological effects loot boxes can have on the minds of players....

AIOs tend to be all the rage these days for advanced cooling solutions. However, custom liquid cooling is definitely not something to be counted out. Aside from the killer looks of colorful translucent pipes running throughout your PC, you can have a lot more control over how the system performs and is laid out. Yet while the benefits of a custom liquid-cooled system are impressive, it’s a lot of work to build and design one that performs and looks good....
