While there are many games that allow people to get as creative as can be, nothing beats Minecraft—the popular sandbox game from Mojang. It lets players create whatever they can possibly imagine, without any pressure at all except what they put on themselves. That said, here are some of the best creative building challenges you can do in Minecraft. Remember that you’re free to choose whatever you want to build, how you want to build it, and what your pace will be....

We do live in amazing times. In the past, when someone had some wacky, ridiculous theory or idea, he or she had to convince several other people in order for said idea to be seen by a large group of people. Since the advent of the internet, however, this little stepping stone has been all but completely removed and any thought anyone has can be instantly vomited onto the pages of a blog or forum for potentially the world to see....

The Make-A-Wish Foundation and NBA 2K20 have teamed up to make dreams come true for a 15-year old kid from Georgia. William Floyd, an avid fan of 2K20, can now be downloaded as a playable character in the game on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. At just 18 months old, William Floyd was diagnosed with a muscle and heart disorder, that among other things, doesn’t allow him to play sports....

Due to a few viral clips coupled with today’s trendy “outrage” culture, Alinity has become a household name for animal abuse on Twitch. The double standards of moderation practice on the streaming platform left Alinity in the hot seat when she tossed her cat over her shoulder and wasn’t banned for it. Inconsistent treatment of smaller streamers have angered Twitch users, and Alinity received an extra helping of flak when she was caught mistreating one of her cats....

Post-credits scenes have become increasingly popular in recent years. Movie and video game franchises have decided that since they’re planning on making a sequel, they might as well tease that sequel in a post-credits cliffhanger! Unfortunately, that can be a really harmful way to end an experience. Instead of giving us proper resolution, developers throw unnecessary cliffhangers at us so we come back for future installments. Of course, not all post-credits scenes relate to sequels and cliffhangers....

Star Trek: The Next Generation is a classic of science fiction TV. Nobody doubts that. It not only successfully revived the Star Trek brand for a new era, but was also able to differentiate itself from its iconic predecessor. Episodes like “The Best of Both Worlds,” “The Inner Light,” and “The Measure of a Man” remain thoughtful and engaging stories to this day. Without The Next Generation, television viewers wouldn’t have gotten other great sci-fi shows like Firefly, Lost, and the reboot of Battlestar Galactica....

Cloud Strife, main hero of Final Fantasy VII, is indisputably the most popular character in the entire Final Fantasy franchise and one of the most recognizable video game icons of all time. Compared to other famous characters, Cloud is unique in that he doesn’t fall into one of the two most common classifications of characters: the cartoonish non-human types such as Sonic the Hedgehog or Kirby, and the more realistic (and often Western-created) “dudebro” characters like Master Chief or Kratos....

These pick-up lines in Among Us and the epitome of flirt and the funniest thing that you can use when talking to other players in the game. While Among Us is largely about crewmates and impostors, there’s always a chance of love blossoming in the air. Check out the cheesy, dirty and funny pick up lines that you can use in Among Us. Disclaimer – use them at your own risk!...

Family Guy is one of the most popular shows on air to date. The show revolves around the Griffin family, a seemingly normal family that just can not stay away from crazy antics and situations. They are always making fun of one another, but at the end of the day, they always have each other’s back and at least try to do the right thing. Peter is the father and can be a bit ignorant at times, and Lois is his wife as well as a stay at home mother to their three children....

Gamefreak has really capitalized on the Pokémon Franchise. I’m always surprised to find out that to date, Gamefreak has made over 120 different Pokémon games. That’s 120 games for them full to brim with secrets, events, and exciting locations. And believe me, they take full advantage of that opportunity. From the very beginning, Gamefreak loved incorporating secrets into Pokémon. From Missingno in Gen 1 to Ultra Beasts in Gen 7, they never stop innovating....

FPS games have come a long way since their inception. From Wolfenstein and Doom all the way to Call of Duty and Overwatch, FPS games have seen plenty of revisions over the decades. Because of this, plenty of iterations to the core formula have been attempted. Movement, abilities, and even health have been altered over the years to provide different experiences. Nothing is sacred. Those that succeeded go on to become an industry standard, while those that fail typically hamper the experience for gamers....

E3 2016 is almost upon us, so it’s the perfect time to reminisce about the surprises, exciting revelations and just plain bizarre nonsense it has gifted us over the years. Some of it stays with us forever – here’s the 6 best E3 announcements of all time. Click here to subscribe. For more E3 shenanigans, check out our list of seven things you should definitely expect from this year’s show!...

The Annapurna games showcase ran only for 30 minutes, but it was jam-packed with more interesting games than many of the E3 events. However, the one that jumped out at me was Stray, a game where you played as a cat, doing cat things in a dilapidated city populated by robots. For the most part, Stray is about a cat doing plenty of typical cat things: knocking things off shelves, wandering aimlessly, and jumping across rooftops....

The Scorpion King: Book of Souls is the 5th in a franchise that surfaced from the success of the classic Brendan Fraser series, The Mummy. Over four years after its direct-to-video release in 2018, the final installment in the saga is surging on streaming platforms, hitting top 10 on Hulu’s most streamed titles. Book of Souls follows the story of Mathayus of Akkad, the fabled demi-god warrior, who is reluctantly pulled into a struggle to prevent a sword with the power to grant its owner dominion over the world from falling into the wrong hands....

If there’s any open-world gameplay feature that still feels exciting these days, it’s the nemesis system. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor managed to bring something genuinely unique to the genre. Unfortunately, due to a patent, no other game can feature the nemesis system officially. Of course, we’ve seen interpretations of it in games, like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but that’s as much as we’ll get. However, a new Skyrim mod brings the nemesis system to the game....

On the RusMoloko dairy farm in Moscow, Russia, the wonders of Virtual Reality technology are being put to an unusual test. Cows with specially crafted VR headsets can be seen relaxing and taking in the joys of VR. The general idea makes a lot of sense: display images of sun-shiny days, green pastures, calm winds kissing the tops of the grass on a big, predator-free ranch. Then hope that this calming environment will help the cows to de-stress and produce more milk....

If you don’t have a pair of wireless earbuds, there’s no doubt you’re in the market for some. This poses a problem for you, though: with so many options to choose from, which wireless earbuds are the best ones for you? And what sets them all apart from one another in the first place? © Hadrian/Shutterstock.com After all, wireless earbuds are wireless earbuds, right? How different can they be? As the AirPods Pro vs Powerbeats Pro debate goes to show, there are actually plenty of things that set two different types of wireless earbuds apart....

Alienware has revealed a prototype for a handheld PC gaming device that resembles a Nintendo Switch. No, seriously…this thing is basically a Nintendo Switch. Dubbed the Concept UFO, this handheld machine features a centralized screen flanked by controllers that can be removed and used independently or as part of a gamepad. It even has a kickstand and can be hooked up to external displays for when you don’t want to utilize its handheld capabilities....

Following hot on the heels of Dragonball x Fortnite, a new event has begun and will last over the next week. This event is called Play Your Way and will involve visiting several different creative maps to earn colorful cosmetic rewards. Here are all of the Fortnite Play Your Way challenges, as well as what rewards you can earn.

The internet is still recovering from the dragon-filled and visually impressive gameplay trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but it would appear that things have gotten even more promising for the game’s arrival on consoles. In a move that is likely to get Xbox fans very excited, Bethesda’s community manager Nick Breckon has preemptively confirmed that the visuals seen in the trailer are not only the real deal, but powered completely by the Xbox 360....
