There are many recurring elements in The Legend of Zelda, but there’s only one element who has appeared in every game: Link. Of course, there hasn’t been a single Link across the franchise’s three timelines. But the spirit of the Hero ensures that each Link is a familiar, easily recognizable figure. That figure is also one defined primarily by his seemingly never-ending supply of courage. That said, not all Links are created equally and some have a harder time-saving Hyrule than others....
This review of Lethal Weapon contains spoilers. Lethal Weapon Season 3 Episode 1 “First car chase?” “I’m okay. It’s just been a while…” Lethal Weapon enters its third season facing the difficult task of replacing a main character.

After winning plenty of awards in 2015, the episodic adventure game Life is Strange is now set to become a live action series with Legendary Digital Studios at the helm. Although Warcraft wasn’t the cinematic masterpiece and summer blockbuster that many hoped it would be, the movie did help take video game adaptations in the right direction.

Smart glasses. Smart gloves. Smart…shirts? These ambitious wearables never quite took hold in our culture. “While the 2010s was the first decade where wearables really took off, these devices actually have a long, storied history. They date all the way back to 17th century China, when scholars invented a tiny wearable abacus—or you know, the world’s first smart ring.

This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s Loki episode 2, “The Variant.” Marvel’s Loki episode 2, “The Variant” is all about exactly what you think it is: uncovering the mystery of who the murderous Loki variant the TVA is tracking. And the ending of Loki episode 2 does exactly that…or does it?

The color green in Magic: the Gathering is often associated with massive and devastating creatures.

Ranging from mana-ramp options to economical creatures, green can be deceptively threatening in the earliest turns of a game....
