The Richest Scifi and Fantasy Worlds in Video Games

Few creative mediums let you explore stories like video games. Players don’t just watch a story—they participate in it, sometimes steering narratives to wildly divergent endings. But in order for an interactive experience to truly transport players, it needs to have a well-built world for them to live in. Here are some locales that stand…

Drunk History‘s Take on the Legacy of Star Trek‘s Nichelle Nichols Is a Booze-Fueled Delight

Nichelle Nichols’ time as Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek is iconic—but at this point, so is the story of how she nearly quit the series after a season. So much so, that Drunk History’s retelling of the moment Nichols met Martin Luther King Jr. manages to cover the whole thing pretty hilariously. The segment, narrated…

Please Caption, Photoshop, or Otherwise Mess With This Photo of Elon Musk’s Space Car

Yesterday, Elon Musk sent a car into space, with David Bowie’s music and Douglas Adams’ writing for accompaniment. It was an absurd, cool, and impressive thing to do. Best of all, it’s unintentionally(?) given us some great images to make jokes with. SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launch yesterday sent Musk’s personal Tesla into orbit, with a…

Earlier this week, we got the first, long-awaited look at Solo: A Star Wars Story.

A $500 PC and an AI Did a Way Better Job Erasing Henry Cavill’s Justice League Mustache Than Expensive VFX

There’s a long list of things wrong with the Justice League movie, not the least of which being the hasty and poorly-executed digital removal of Henry Cavill’s mustache that he couldn’t shave during the film’s reshoots. But not to worry, some random dude on the internet with a $500 used PC and a world-changing AI…

No One Is Ready for the Deadly Storm Coming Black Lightning‘s Way

Though death and loss have been big parts of Black Lightning since the beginning of the series, the past few episodes were full of enough hope and optimism to almost convince you that maybe, just maybe, Jefferson Pierce might be able to get a handle on the crime wave sweeping Freeland.

“Reach for the sky”—with your badass robot arm. The new trailer is out for Deadpool 2, which brings Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) face-to-face with his ferocious nemesis, Cable (Josh Brolin). Except, it’s not quite working out the way Deadpool wanted because the special effects department forgot to add his robot arm (dammit, Dale!). So it’s…

Henry Cavill’s Mustache Is Now Sentient

After the infamous nightmare that was Superman’s upper lip in Justice League, Henry Cavill’s mustache has pretty much taken on a life of its own. So naturally, it only makes sense that the mustache has become self-aware and is using its newfound consciousness to promote Cavill’s latest film. KingStache, the name Cavill’s mustache has now…

Electric Dreams’ Best Episode Puts All My Parental Nightmares in One Horrible Future

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about “Safe and Sound” ever since I inhaled all of Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams two weeks ago. It’s the best episode of the 10 in season one and the most worrisome, too, because the drama shows everything I don’t want to happen in America. “Safe and Sound”…
