DayZ inexplicably achieves its highest player count, over ten years after releasing

When it comes to open-world zombie survival experiences, many can’t claim to be as brutal and unforgiving as DayZ.

A Superhero Romp Despised by Critics but Getting an Unexpected Sequel Returns to the Streaming Top Ten

But director Julius Avery persevered and…

It came at least three weeks before films of its type! And we puzzled for hours, till our puzzler was sore.

Flappy Bird (sort of) makes a return after ten years

For those who don’t remember, it was a mobile game that became an unbelievable (if brief) success, possibly one of the most popular iOS and Android releases of its time. Well, now it’s back. Kind of. GitHub user somhi (via Time Extension) has managed to bring Flappy Bird back from the dead. In this instance, it’s been ported to the likes of the Analogue Pocket, so the…
