When he dropped the Industry Baby video, fans started noticing cameos and Easter Eggs, and reactions started pouring in. Those cameos included Arrow’s Colton Haynes, who played Roy Harper in the beloved DC series, and fans even thought they spotted Aquaman’s Jason Momoa in the video, though that ended up not being the case....

Genshin Impact developer miHoYo has announced that a new preview of upcoming content will release later this week on July 9th at 8AM ET/5AM PT. Notably, the developer has previously indicated exactly which version its special programs would cover. Given that the current release of Genshin Impact is Version 1.6 “Midsummer Island Adventure,” it would make sense for the new preview to go over Version 1.7. But why wouldn’t miHoYo just say that, then?...

One Piece has been around for more than 25 years at this point, and the series has amassed fans from around the world. For the most diehard of fans, there are few parts of their life that don’t involve the Straw Hats, and that was made clear by one netizen as of late. After all, they chose to doll up their newest gaming console with One Piece, and it goes to show how important Luffy has become to his followers....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players have another update to try out now if they want to see what’s coming ahead of the next patch’s live release. Update 10.3 was added to the test servers this week, and compared to some of the other updates we’ve seen in the past that made more pronounced changes, this one’s a bit lighter than usual. It’s still got some changes worth taking note of, however, such as improvements for the game’s Karakin map as well as adjustments made to the game’s relatively new reputation system....

Dynasty Warriors might be Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s flagship action franchise, but through the years we have gotten to see different variations of the central 1 vs. 1,000 formula with not only anime and video game franchises like One Piece, Mobile Suit Gundam, and The Legend of Zelda, but with its own spinoff franchises that take this formula through other historical eras in the Warriors Orochi and Samurai Warriors series....

Saturday Night Live opened things up this week with a Super Bowl parody. The show decided to take aim at CBS’s popular The NFL Today setup this week as the network has hosting duties for the biggest game of the year. James Brown, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Nate Burleson and Coach Bill Cowher all get the strange joking treatment. Kenan couldn’t contain his amusement when Aidy Bryant had to pull double duty as both Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians....

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu took to social media to reveal that he contracted COVID-19 earlier this year but thanks to being vaccinated and having gotten a booster shot his symptoms were “like a cold.” The Marvel hero shared his experience with losing family members to the virus and his own time with COVID-19 in stark contrast to another fellow Marvel star, Evangeline Lilly, whose social media posts earlier this week derided vaccine mandates and confirmed her participation in a protest in Washington D....

The lovable blue alien Stitch has earned a place of his own in the Disney pantheon, with a number of appearances beginning with 2002’s Lilo & Stitch. Before that film even debuted, Stitch made an impact in the film’s marketing campaign by “crashing” into key scenes of other Disney films and franchise. All throughout 2021, Disney has celebrated the spirit of that campaign with a Stitch Crashes merchandise line, which reimagines Stitch in the aesthetics of other Disney classics....

After years and years of speculation and development, DC’s The Flash movie is finally on its way to becoming a reality. The film is set to take a multiversal approach on the DC universe, introducing new takes on iconic characters — including a new version of Supergirl portrayed by Sasha Calle.

Godzilla vs. Kong’s new Mechagodzilla showed off its first design through some cool concept art for the movie!

Mechagodzilla’s appearance in the film might have been one of the worst kept secrets for the film, but its actual design was kept under some pretty tight security....

The NFT trend is taking yet another wild turn, as McDonald’s is now getting in on the act. McDonald’s has revealed a new NFT celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the McRib.
