Game development is an expensive and time-consuming business. Right now, 2,000 people are working on the next instalment in Ubisoft’s blockbuster Assassin’s Creed series, across 18 studios around the globe, and it’s a project that will take 2 to 3 years. Imagine how any of those people might feel to learn that last year, a self-taught programmer racked up nearly £280,000 from a series of games he made while sitting in his pants on hot days in a two-bedroom flat in Harlesden.

One of Barbie’s most memorable qualities has to be the music. Audiences cried hearing one of Billie Eilish’s “best vocal performances” singing “What Was I Made For?” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” was one of the best moments in the movie. But the scene that brought us to our feet was Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” when the Barbies and Kens of Barbieland danced to the top-tapping song at the Barbie Mansion. This infamous dance sequence may have gotten a lot of praise, but I felt like I was going to lose it after…

Barbra Streisand has a lot to dish about in the more than 900 pages of her new memoir, “My Name is Barbra,” including all the good and bad men she dealt with as she navigated treacherous, sexist workplaces in Hollywood.

To Streisand’s fans, sexism is the reason she…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of references and Easter eggs, and as you might suspect, the Annihilator moniker doesn't exactly come out of the blue. In fact, multiple characters have used the title in a variety of ways in Marvel Comics history.  The team known as, well, the Annihilators is an extension of the Guardians of the Galaxy, initiated by the comics version of Star-Lord and put together by Cosmo the Spacedog. This space-faring collection of galactic heavy-hitters was specifically formed to…
