Borderlands has grabbed a heavy following since its debut. After two main games were released on top of a few spin-off titles, the series went into a bit of an absence for a few years. Now, fans are at an all-time high with developer Gearbox announcing that Borderlands 3 would be coming this year on top of a 4K visual enhancement for the previous games. Now is a great time to be a Borderlands fan, which means that there is a lot of merchandise that could make for a nice buy....

As a cosplayer, accuracy is so important to me when making my costumes. I can only imagine some of the discomfort people who chose to cosplay the following Final Fantasy characters experienced. Some of these designs make you wonder, “What was Square Enix thinking?” At times, some pieces of an outfit do not seem relevant or useful to a given character, so it’s natural to wonder what they’re even doing there in the first place....

AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs are now available at prices similar to the previous gen. Unfortunately, that comes with a catch. This powerful CPU lineup requires the new AM5 socket to power up, and the cheapest X670 boards available at this time begin around $299, while premium X670E lines easily exceed $500. On top of this, pricey DDR5 is the only memory spec supported for Ryzen 7000, and you’ll want a high-end cooler in order to keep things cool....

DC comics has a bad rap these days for making movies that tend to disappoint their fans. Sure their writers tend to pick twists that don’t really surprise anyone, but it doesn’t help when they have one other big group of people to worry about: the people who are in charge of making their licensed toys. So much goes into making a movie and so many things are communicated through the grapevine that sometimes movie studios and toy companies don’t see eye to eye....

According to Charles Caleb Colton, “Imitation is the sincerest [form] of flattery”. However, these cases of desperate copying below is a far cry to the positive compliments that Pokémon deserves.

There are storyboard artists, concept designers, voice actors, directors and all manner of people to make a video game great....

The NHL games are pretty hit or miss with hockey fans. Every year EA releases an updated game with new players, new rankings and some new features. While gameplay as a whole is good, and being able to play online is a positive, hockey fans just can’t fully love it. Some aspects are really loved, but one thing consistently disagreed with every year is the player ratings. Each player has been ranked by their style, offensive, and defensive abilities, based off how they play in real life....

Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight; she is the one named Sailor Moon! There isn’t any other magical girl quite as iconic as Usagi (Serena in the English adaptation), as Sailor Moon set the standard for the genre.

Introduced at the very end of the original series, Pan was one of three new faces to join the main cast following the Buu arc alongside Bra and Uub. Where the former didn’t do anything in either Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball GT, and the latter had his narrative potential squandered at every turn, Pan went on to play a massive role in the anime only sequel series....

Video game box art has come a long way since its inception. Games released for the Atari and its contemporaries give off a distinct vibe from their cover art that bleeds a weird sort of retrofuturism. Some of it looks plain weird or goofy. That didn’t stop when gaming came into its own with the NES and SNES. Video games have continued to release with some truly abhorrent box art....

While John Green‘s Looking For Alaska novel was told from Miles “Pudge” Halter’s point of view, Hulu‘s limited series has adapted the story in a much more ensemble-driven context. This isn’t just Miles’ story anymore, if it ever was to begin with. This story belongs to characters like Alaska and Dr. Hyde and Takumi and Lara, too. Perhaps most affectingly, this story belong to Chip “The Colonel” Martin. In a sea of stellar performances from young and older actors alike, Denny Love’s portrayal of Chip—a black scholarship student at Culver Creek Academy who, as Miles’ roommate, acts as his guide to this new world—is particularly exceptional....
