Monster Hunter‘s First Trailer Brings the Big Monsters (and Big Swords)

Although, Milla Jovovich herself could stand to have some bigger swords. Having two swords doesn’t make up for it! After months of teases, Sony has dropped the first official trailer for Monster Hunter, Paul W.S. Anderson’s adaptation of the beloved Capcom video game franchise. Not a direct adaptation of the, well, monster-hunting game series, the…

The alien, who they refer to…

Reality Has Righted Itself Just in Time for WandaVision Funko Pops

Yes, Wanda Maximoff’s chaos magics might be hurtling her into a strange world for WandaVision. But would our own world be right if there weren’t tie-in Funko Pops for the show?

Netflix Thinks It’s So Great, You Don’t Even Need to Check Out How Great It Is

If you haven’t yet subscribed to any of the major streaming services, first I have to ask: How have you avoided them? Second: You’ve missed the boat when it comes to trying the biggest names for free. Streaming giant Netflix quietly did away with its 30-day trial in the U.S., according to CNET, just like…

The New iPhone’s Ceramic Shield Sounds Cool, But You Still Need a Case

I have to admit that when Apple showed off the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro Max, I thought: “Damn. That looks real nice.” Too bad it belongs behind a case. But didn’t Tim Cook say all the new iPhone 12 models would have a new type of reinforced display called Ceramic Shield? Yeah. It also…

Miles Morales Is Giving Its Hero the Sickest Spider-Man Suit of All Time and Ditching the Cops

Though Spider-Man: Miles Morales is still set in the same universe as Insomniac’s first game, it’s very much meant to be the story of how, after training under Peter Parker, Miles is ready to break free and define his own legacy as one of New York City’s protectors. A big part of how Miles does…

Apple Finally Gave Us Baby-Handed Bastards What We Want

My great lament since I ripped the open the box to my iPhone 6 and found a giant and unpocketable beast resting in my tiny hands was that the era of the small phone was no more. It felt like we baby-handed people had been forced to pay some kind of small-hand tax: either we…

I Love Han Solo (in Waffle Form), and He Knows

Star Wars fans are known for taking their obsessions to absolutely ridiculous levels. Sometimes, that means buying an unnecessary rug.
