Patch 1.3.2 just dropped in Diablo 4 which gave us a lot of bug fixes and an adjustment to the Cursed Shrine events, but the meat and potatoes of this update lie with the newly implemented Uber Unique crafting system. Yeah, that’s right; we can now “target-farm” Uber Uniqes.  It sounds like a win on paper, essentially giving us dedicated grinders a guaranteed Uber Unique after a certain number of runs.

But this time, Hell is a teenage boy, too… especially when it comes to one from Victorian times literally rising from the grave to help one teenage girl exact revenge on those…

Unappreciated at the time of its release, despite being one of the best horror movies of the 2000s, Jennifer’s Body has become a cult classic in the world of horror movies. The screenwriter of the Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried-led horror-comedy Diablo Cody has returned to the genre with a new film called Lisa Frankenstein. Surprisingly enough, she says that Fox's film takes place in the same universe as her latest work, and my mind is blown.The 2009 horror comedy that Diablo Cody wrote follows a high school student who…
