There are plenty of video game mascots that have come and gone through the years, but there’s just something special about Spyro the Dragon. The character hit the PlayStation at the exact right time and even though he wasn’t the console’s official mascot, he gained a certain reputation that spawned the release of three classic titles that were some of the best games PlayStation had to offer. Spyro’s lasting power has superseded the original PlayStation and two decades after his inception, he’s still relevant and popular in the video game world....

As with any colloquialism, we’ve heard the words “man’s best friend” so many times that it’s lost much of its impact. There is a reason the phrase was coined in the first place though. Pets freely give an unconditional love that humans simply aren’t capable of. Like any true animal lover knows, a pet is more than just a companion that we care for. Our pets are our most trusted friends, our closest confidants, and the creatures that make us feel more distinctly understood than anyone else in the world....

The multiverse is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and with is some powerful Marvel characters. While the MCU teased it in Spider-Man: Far From Home, it turned out to be a misdirection, and the movie just teased fans with something that didn’t end up happening. That all changed with Loki, and now the multiverse is real and threatens the Marvel Universe. It just takes one quick look at the comics to see how dangerous the multiverse is for the world in general....

When Stephenie Meyer released her Twilight books, a literary storm was released upon the world. The series won legions of passionate fans and garnered just as many ardent detractors who criticized its simplistic writing style and cliched themes. There was a rarely a middle ground, as people either adored or loathed it. Like many popular novels, the tetralogy was turned into a series of movies. The book’s fans flocked to the theaters to see their beloved characters on the big screen, and the naysayers amplified their disdain for the stories with each subsequent movie release....

2020’s movie calendar got off to a bad start, as Birds of Prey, Dolittle and The Rhythm Section all bombed badly at the box office. In contrast, 2019 was a record-breaking year for blockbusters. Not only did Avengers: Endgame become the highest-grossing movie of all time, but the year also rewarded some releases whose success wasn’t quite as guaranteed, such as Knives Out, Joker and Detective Pikachu. After such a strong year for cinema, 2020 always looked to be a quieter proposition, particularly in terms of blockbusters, and with Star Wars on hiatus, the MCU in transition and Pixar focusing on originals, studios that don’t have a mouse as their mascot might’ve been hoping for less competition....

The 2021 iPhone display may use 10-20% less power than the iPhone 12, thanks to a more power-efficient technology, according to a new report today. There’s even an outside possibility of some kind of always-on display on next year’s iPhones. The report says that LG is preparing to create a new type of OLED panel for next year’s iPhones, using a technology known as (LPTO). This is currently used in the Apple Watch Series 5, and is part of the secret to the always-on display …...

When 30 Rock started, it wasn’t looking good for The Girly Show, but thanks to the introduction of Tracy Jordan, the show got an update and was renamed TGS With Tracy Jordan. There’s a reason Tracy Jordan came on the show, and it has everything to do with the hilarious things he had to say. Granted, most of what he said was either offensive or really offensive depending on who he was talking to, and he may have seemed crazy, but he was easily one of the best characters on the show....

Frank Rossitano (played by Judah Friedlander) was one of the lead writers on the fictional SNL-esque TV show from 30 Rock and a series mainstay, appearing in every episode. He’s an almost-admirable schlub and self-confessed dirtbag but his defining attribute would probably be his customized hats. In one of the many style choices that Friedlander incorporated into his appearances as an actor and stand-up comedian, Frank is rarely ever seen without one of his iconic hats on....

It feels like it was only yesterday that I saw How to Train Your Dragon in theaters. I remember dragging my older sister to see it with me. She didn’t want to go because she thought it was going to be some lame kids movie. A couple days ago, the two of us went to see How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World together. We had to finish Hiccup and Toothless’ journey the way we started it nine years ago....

If there were three defining 1980s toy lines, they were G.I. Joe, Transformers, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. There was just something about He-Man– maybe it was the full-tilt mix of fantasy and science fiction. Maybe it was the unabashed, unapologetic cheesiness of it all – you can’t get much more on the nose than a multi-faced guy named Man-E-Faces. Regardless of what was behind Masters of the Universe’s unique magic, it entranced many a child and adolescent over the many years since it first premiered back in 1983....

Apple is showing off its latest version of OS X for Macs, dubbed ‘El Capitan’, at its WWDC kickoff keynote today, but there are many features coming in the update that it didn’t take time to show off on stage. Some of those include a new system font, as we’ve reported leading up to today’s event, as well as a redesigned disk utility app, a resizable Spotlight window, Photos edition extensions and Share Links extensions, new AirPlay video features, and much much more....

If you’re watching a movie, your file may not have any subtitles at all, or it may have a limited number of language options. The good news is that it’s possible to download subtitles for movies and TV shows that don’t come with them already. There are a number of useful websites that can help you track down the subtitles you need. Here are some of the best sites to download subtitles for movies and TV....

The two Guardians of the Galaxy movies that have been released so far have been fan favorites and box office successes. No one really expected one of Marvel’s more obscure properties to become so immediately popular. Still, the movies’ humor, amazing soundtracks, and some stellar performances from the main cast pretty much cemented the Guardians’ favorable spot in the MCU lineup. Because so many people loved the movie, whether they were already fans of Marvel or not, it made it easy to overlook some of the bigger flaws....

As is often the case with television shows, the One Tree Hill cast went through many changes over its nine seasons. In some cases, those changes made the show better, adding to the relationships and storylines in a positive way. In other cases, however, they just meant additional drama, which bogged down the series and ate up screen time for a plot everyone knew wouldn’t end well. Some characters that hurt the series ended up making others look bad or contributed to others getting hurt (physically or emotionally)....

As far as post-apocalyptic nuclear dystopian video games go, it’s hard to get weirder than Fallout 76. Long-term fans of the Fallout franchise love the unpredictability that the post-nuclear war environment can bring. In addition to the mutated people and animals caused by massive doses of radiation, there are hideout shelter “vaults” that weren’t always kind to the survivors. In the franchise, some vaults were built for people to simply live and wait out the apocalypse, while others were constructed to experiment on the very people stuck within....

It’s no secret that Apple’s Late 2013 Mac Pro looks strikingly similar to a (really futuristic, shiny, insanely great) trash can; take a look for yourself. You can even replace the Trash icon on your OS X Dock with a… Mac Pro. Let’s just agree there’s a certain…resemblance. That inspired one Apple fan to build a Hackintosh based on the new Mac Pro design using, yes, an actual trash can (specifically, an Authenics Lunar <–check scale) for the casing....

By every measure, 2018 was an extraordinary year for movies. Every so often, there’s an off year, and pundits begin to claim that audiences are losing their interest in the theatrical experience. Then something like 2018 comes along, delivering hit after hit after hit, and suddenly those same pundits are proven wrong. The biggest blockbuster of the year was Black Panther, which grossed $700 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo....

Star Trek is a series that has survived the ages. (And by ages, we mean a couple of decades.) Since 1966, when the original series aired, some form of a Star Trek show has existed. It’s hard to understand the initial appeal of the series when you just look at the first show, but the love it has inspired is easy to see when you look at its history as a whole....
