They’ll have you seeing red After ruling the home console roost for almost a decade, the mid-nineties were a turning point for Nintendo, and not in a “they finally quit cocaine and got their act together” kind of way. After creating their own worst enemy by screwing Sony in an effort to make a CD expansion for the Super Nintendo, they were struggling with getting their own next-generation console to the market. A lot of other companies were touting their fancy 32-bit monstrosities, and Nintendo needed something to…

10. Dunston Checks In (1996)A kleptomaniac orangutan wreaks havoc in a posh hotel, leading to some inspired farce involving bananas and small dogs. But the highlight is when Dunaway, as the snobbish hotel owner, falls backwards into a big cream cake with an orangutan on top of her. No apologies for including it in this selection since it is one of cinema’s finest moments.9. Little Big Man (1970)Dunaway plays the sexually frustrated foster mother of the picaresque protagonist (although Dustin Hoffman was actually four…

For many viewers, Disney’s villains are the best characters of them all. It’s no wonder why Cruella and Maleficent got their own movies — they often outshined the heroes and became the real star of their respective shows. But why? Why are Disney villains so damn likable? Is it their awesome outfits? Their fantastically shady lines? Or their engrossing character? Let’s face it, the villains normally have more personality than the heroes and provide so much more to the story, whether it’s humor, sly wit, and in some…

It’s official: M3GAN is a hit, grossing over $45 million in its opening weekend. A good reason why the movie resonated with audiences was its meme-worthy trailer, which paired horrific murders with TikTok dance moves and a popular song from a well-known artist (Taylor Swift). These days, horror movie trailers tend to take popular and even lighthearted songs and twist them into dark and haunting numbers. This serves as an effective tool for getting audiences frightened but also interested in seeing such films. Some…

Star Wars means a lot to many people, and it was always going to be a bit of a challenge to adapt it to television. While some of Disney’s Star Warsshows have been tremendous success stories, others have been less widely acclaimed. Thankfully, Andor is one of the good ones, and that’s in part because it introduces so many great characters that further enrich the Star Warsuniverse we already know and love. These characters are rebels and Empire lackeys alike, but each one of them gave us a new way to think about what…

League of Legends developer Riot Games has teased two new champions that are coming to the multiplayer game in 2023, including a support-oriented enchanter and a Darkin assassin. In a look ahead at what’s to come over the next year, Riot Games has shared a few details on how it will be making a “more diverse champion pool that’s inclusive of all cultures, genders, and in-game skill levels” throughout 2023.

8. Nokia 5.3 – Great battery life The Nokia 5.3 offers a lot for a phone at its price point. The main camera produces clear and sharp images, with very vivid colours, plus the 4000mAh battery doesn’t disappoint, with around a day and a half’s worth of usage per charge.  But at this price, compromises have to be made. The downsides of 5.3 include poor-quality speakers, a relatively low-resolution screen and the secondary cameras downgrade the quality of images significantly.  If you use…

We like sports and we don’t care who knows When it comes to the development and publishing of sports simulators, there are no two bigger names in the game than EA Sports and 2K Sports. These companies are behind the best-selling football, basketball, hockey, and soccer games every year. There is just no competition when it comes to creating authentic, microtransaction-laden sports titles. Of course, not everyone cares about sports games for their realism. Some people just want to pick up a ball and have some good ol’…

The Metroid franchise has seen new life in recent years, partially thanks to the recent release of Dread and the anticipation for Metroid Prime 4. It’s not the most widespread series from Nintendo’s collection, but it has millions of fans eager for more stories surrounding the bounty hunter Samus Aran. With how much each game has influenced the series, it’s interesting to note which Metroid games are considered to be the best in terms of sales and popularity. All sales information was taken from VGSales. The 10 Best…
