This Avenue 5 review contains spoilers. Avenue 5 Episode 5 The only character who is not allowed to stoop to toilet humor on Avenue 5, episode 5, “He’s Only There to Stop His Skeleton Falling Over,” is a standup comedian who can’t get laughs. And he’s got a captive audience. Jordan Hatwal can’t talk about it, but he’s stuck
Here’s some bad news for the bank balances of gamers around the globe: reports suggest that expensive components are making it hard for Sony to drive drown the price of the PlayStation 5. The next-generation console is meant to be launching in the holiday season at the end of 2020, at a similar time to
This article comes from Den of Geek UK and contains spoilers. Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 8 It’s the spooky one! Most years since Doctor Who returned in 2005 have seen an episode that delves gleefully into something supernatural, even if it does usually turn out to be aliens in the end. We’ve had gaseous ‘ghosts’ in “The Unquiet
It looks like the timeline of the DC Universe, and the scope of DC continuity as a whole is about to undergo some seismic changes.

The opening cinematic for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been released, and it’s already causing quite a stir. This remade cinematic is not exactly a 1:1 remake of the original opening cinematic of the game. However, there are quite a few similarities between the two, and nearly every shot in the original opening is remade.
This review of Dispatches From Elsewhere contains no spoilers. AMC’s bizarre new anthology series Dispatches From Elsewhere is extremely weird. This really shouldn’t be that much of a surprise, given that the first episode begins with Richard E. Grant starring wordlessly into the camera for a solid thirty seconds before breaking the fourth wall to
Professor Oak is wading into battle for the first time ever in a game, with the legendary Pokémon Prof being added to Pokémon Masters. The strategy-based mobile game, which launched in August last year, pits the player against a series of trainers that are paired up with just one Pokémon. As you progress, you add trainers

There was never any doubt that Castlevania would return for a third season on Netflix. After all, not only has it turned out to be a successful series for the streaming service but it’s one of the best (if not THE best) adaptations of a video game franchise to date. And, if the official trailer

The third installment of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s feminist femme fatale spy series will premiere on Sunday, April 26 at 10 p.m. ET. Just like last season, episodes will air
There’s something distinctly Looney Tunes about Harley Quinn, probably the combination of self-awareness and ultraviolent slapstick comedy. So when you ask Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti about the magnificent, luridly poetic profanity in Harley Quinn & The Birds of Prey, their new Black Label collaboration on the character they steered for the better part of
The Nacelle Company, the studio responsible for the popular Netflix series The Toys That Made Us and The Movies That Made Us has announced a partnership with Cavegirl Productions and X-Ray Films which will see them produce a documentary about Magic: The Gathering. “We’re honored to be producing this documentary, which is sure to introduce the iconic game to
ORLANDO, Feb. 14, 2020 -University of Central Florida researchers are helping to close the gap separating human and machine minds. In a study featured as the cover article appearing today in the journal Science Advances, a UCF research team showed that by combining two promising nanomaterials into a new superstructure, they could create a nanoscale
Lucifer might be on the verge of pulling off yet another (we daresay) miraculous reprisal, this time from its long-planned imminent final season on Netflix. Yes, folks, Lucifer Season 6 appears to be a thing that might happen! While Lucifer has spent the last year touting – by way of social media – the bittersweet
In the first Deadpool movie, one of the jokes in the marketing portrayed it as a love story to tie in with the fact that it came out just before Valentine’s Day. It’s not exactly lying as Wade’s actions are all motivated by love. Sure, he may look like a sculpture made of dried bubble gum
Remedy, the studio behind games such as Alan Wake, Max Payne, and Control, has confirmed that they are working on three new projects, one of which is described as a live service game. We already know that the first game is a single-player campaign for CrossFireX. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, don’t be surprised. The
Copper has been essential to human technology since its early days–it was even used to make tools and weapons in ancient times. It is widely used even today, especially in electronic devices that require wiring. But, a challenge with using copper is that its surface oxidizes over time, even under ambient conditions, ultimately leading to

HANOVER, N.H. – February 14, 2020 – Chenfeng Ke, an assistant professor of chemistry at Dartmouth, has been awarded the 2020 Cram Lehn Pedersen Prize in Supramolecular Chemistry. The prize, awarded annually by the International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC), recognizes significant, original and independent work by an early-career researcher in the area
This Briarpatch review contains spoilers. Briarpatch Episode 2 Maybe it’s watching the characters of Briarpatch interact in the searing temperatures of San Bonafacio, but I’ve already warmed to USA Network’s new neo noir quite a bit. However, after two episodes, a clear problem looks to be arising for the show; there are two seemingly competing storylines, and one
My first experience with Daniel Warren Johnson’s comics work was probably his Image book, Murder Falcon, and my first thought was “Oh wow, he’s new Stokoe.” He’s got a very similar vibe – that immaculate attention to detail, the panels that bubble over with imagination, and there’s a wryness that I think is very subtle
Video game host and personality Geoff Keighley has caused quite a stir by announcing that he will not be participating in E3 2020. “For the past 25 years, I have attended every Electronic Entertainment Expo”, writes Keighley in a letter posted via Twitter. “I have made the difficult decision to decline to produce E3 Coliseum.

Energy harvesting, a technology to transform small quantities of naturally occurring energy (e.g. light, heat and vibration) into electricity, is gaining attention as a method to power the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This technology helps reduce environmental impacts and has a potential to power electronic devices in a stable and long-term manner, unlike batteries
