Released in 2009, FromSoftware’s Demon’s Souls—the first title in its legendary Dark Souls franchise—raised the bar for in-game equipment design. Now, with 2020’s remake of the modern classic, a new generation of players have the opportunity to take up arms against the demonic forces that rove through the Kingdom of Boletaria. With stunning designs, dozens of individual stats, and a clever mix of perks and debuffs, it can often be difficult for players to choose which weapons to use in their playthrough....

Movies and TV shows that we watch during our childhood can have a huge impact on our adult life. Some scenes or characters, who may not appear to be too scary to grown-ups, may be terrifying to a child, and leave a lasting impression on the child that lingers long into adulthood. A particular source of this childhood trauma is the show Goosebumps. Based on a popular book series by author R....

Superheroes have really blown up in the last ten years, in part thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It definitely looks like the craze for superpowered heroes is not slowing down anytime soon. While interest has picked up for superhero properties on the big screen recently, the genre has had a more consistent life on television for years. Superheroes captivated broadcast audience even before television, if you count such radio serials like The Lone Ranger or The Shadow....

Sex scenes can be very awkward and not just for actors, but for the audience too. These pivotal moments can make or break a movie. And because the subject matter is so personal, it’s hard to know how the scene will be received. But, we can all agree that there are some scenes you just don’t want to watch in the company of family. Here are 10 Movie Scenes You Never Want To Watch With Your Parents....

For decades, hundreds of video games have been published in each year. Whether you play on a computer or console, gaming companies have vied for your attention as a gamer. Prior to release, slick trailer editing, hand-picked screenshots or gameplay sequences, and selected positive reviews make their way into the world by way of developers. What is the last video game you were excited to buy before it was released? What about the first one?...

Then, in 2007, a decade after it was founded, it started to transform its identity to the Netflix that we’re familiar with by offering its subscribers the option to stream content. Its history is actually quite interesting, but we won’t bore you with the nitty-gritty. Instead, in this article, we’ll share some of the most interesting and recent statistics about its subscribers, revenue, and growth over the years. 21 Netflix Stats: Subscribers, Revenue, Growth and More [2023]: 21 Netflix Stats [Updated] 1....

A List of Some of the New Features and Improvements Users Should Try in Windows 10 1709 I recently upgraded my Surface Pro 3 to 1709 and after logging in, there was a bit of underwhelming feeling lingering. The features and functionality just weren’t obvious. The list below is not in any particular order, but what came to mind as I explored and dug through. 1. Microsoft Edge Gets a Dedicated Reset and Repair Function I mentioned in the introduction the crappy month Edge had in September and continues to suffer from the recent botched KB4041676 update....

On one hand, Apple’s announcement that it had sold a quarter of a million AppleTVs in just 18 days seems like a solid number. At that rate, a million in a little over two months (and 100M in revenue!). Steve Jobs said he was very pleased with the sales. But is it really that many? A few stats to consider: There are three times as many TVs used on earth as mobile phones, close to 5 billion....

Shonda Rhimes is the queen of TV right now. Not only did she rule the screen on ABC, but Netflix was smart enough to poach her when they had the chance. Her vision has led to more diverse TV and changed the course of history. Before Kerry Washington starred as Olivia Pope on Scandal, women of color as leads on TV were few and far between. According to Vox, Washington was the first black female lead on TV since 1974....

Back in the 1970s, made-for-TV horror movies were a genre unto themselves. The days before even the most basic of cable used to bring low-budget movies to the small screen every afternoon or as “Movies of the Week.” Many of these treasures are still highly watchable, memorable, and have even enjoyed big budget remakes. Today, when we think of made-for-TV horror movies, we think of films with titles like Sharknado, Lavalantula, Piranhaconda, or beasts like the Whalewolf, Mechashark, or Crocosaurus....

Most movies require a willing suspension of disbelief. It’s part of the deal we make when watching a movie. We’ll believe a man can fly if you can show it to us. Moviemaking is all smoke and mirrors and the whole thing is a fragile illusion. A good movie will draw viewers in and any minor immersion-breaking things are mostly ignored because they’re swept along for the ride. Bad movies usually fail to engage the audience on a basic level and it’s at this point that you start to see behind the curtain, breaking the spell....

There are plenty of reasons that villains in the comic book world decide to use their powers for evil, instead of good. Some bad guys do just want to take over the world – megalomaniacs, gods and the criminally insane, mostly. The majority have more relatable motivations, though. Magneto wants to protect mutants from what he sees as their inevitable oppression by the human race, Ra’s al Ghul is an eco-terrorist, and Wilson Fisk and his ilk are protecting their businesses and territories....

Forget Tim Burton’s black-camp fairy tale. Renounce Christopher Nolan’s colorless realism. Ignore Zack Snyder’s Miller fetish. Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman film of them all. From studio meddling to a brief production window, this film had everything going against it. When it was finally released, it bombed in epic fashion at the box office, but it later found new life thanks to home video and the internet....

This brand new war drama is crushing both the box office and critics reviews. Nominated for this year’s Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, this movie takes place during the World War 1. With two young British soldiers leading the film’s story, director Sam Mendes and his team made an exceptionally realistic and visually stunning final product. In case movie buffs are wondering what is real and what is Hollywood drama, look no further....

Sam Mendes, director of 1917, says war movies are popular because of the human condition. Mendes has long since reached the acclaimed status of Oscar-winning filmmaker, and his latest effort has been consistently garnering high praise and collecting awards. As things currently stand, 1917 is ranked high among the list of favorites to take best picture at the upcoming Oscars. Mendes is also heavily favored to come away with the best director Oscar....

There’s an old piece of improv advice a lot of actors received when “coming up.” The advice was to never say no. So, when you’re on stage doing an improv bit and someone hands you a fake toy airplane to fly around, you take the toy fake airplane and you fly the heck out of it! It’s a little different in movies with contracts being what they are. Sometimes, actors have to say no and turn down roles....

Street Outlaws is one of the Discovery channel’s most successful shows. Now eleven seasons strong, the series shows no time of slowing down any time soon. The show has even broken off into two spin offs– Street Outlaws: New Orleans and Street Outlaws: Memphis. Street Outlaws is unique to other reality shows, as it displays real illegal activities. In fact, the stars of the shows do not get paid by sponsors due to the nature of their activities....

Depending on who you ask, Maury Povich is either one of the greatest hosts on television or a despicable exploiter of other people’s life problems. Earlier in his career, he was public enemy number one to some television critics, so it’s kind of surprising that his show has evolved into a long-running American institution akin to The Today Show or Sesame Street. Maury doesn’t shock us the way that he did in the 1990s; instead, he’s become a sort of television comfort food to millions of viewers....

Devil May Cry 5 is making some major waves in the video game world. Even those who’ve never played a game in this franchise are suddenly taking notice, and realizing just how awesome this series really is. The general consensus is that Capcom got everything right with this one. After a very long hiatus, we finally have a new game in the series, and it’s dang near perfect. The combat is fluid, beautiful, and satisfying....
