Ah, pets. Whether you’ve got a cuddly canine, a ferocious feline or something in between, the animal kingdom has been keeping mankind company for years. Our fluffy, scaly and feathered companions are always there to love us, comfort us and make us laugh, no matter what happens! So, OK. Hear us: Anime animals can do the same.

Minecraft is a household name for both casual and hardcore gamers. Despite the fact that it officially released in 2011, it's still captivating audiences around the globe with its clever mix of building and light survival elements, depending on the mode.

For the most part, gaming is about sharing experiences, whether you do so with the NPCs littered throughout your favorite adventure or the friends and loved ones in your life. But sometimes, a break from the norm can be a comfortable change of pace. Gaming is a very social activity, but sometimes it’s cathartic to set off on adventures that let you enjoy the silence, if you will. There’s a small subset of games in the world that let you take in what it means to be on your own, offering the true

Unlike Final Fantasy, which has been massively popular globally for more than 20 years, the Mana series has had a checkered past in the West, with a somewhat bizarre lineage which began all the way back in the early 1990s. Seiken Densetsu, the series' original name in Japanese which literally translates to "The Legend of the Sacred Sword," is part of a family of RPGs that began in 1991 with the Game Boy's Final Fantasy Adventure, or Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden.

It's been seven years since Grand Theft Auto V made its debut on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Two years later, it made the leap to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. But despite becoming the second bestselling video game of all time with critical praise and over 120 million copies shipped, developer Rockstar Games hasn't made an announcement regarding the next entry in the saga. There was a similar time frame between 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV and 2013's Grand Theft Auto V, but 2020 could be different

The Mandalorian brought viewers a litany of memorable characters when it made its debut on Disney+ in November 2019. First, we met bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal). Then, we fell in love with the cutest infant in the known universe: the Child, affectionately known as Baby Yoda. We also met Gina Carano's former Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune, who had no qualms about going toe-to-toe with Mando in battle.

We’re living in stressful, uncertain times right now. It’s perfectly understandable if it’s harder than ever to get a full night’s sleep. Melatonin supplements taken in the form of gummies may very well be a solution that works for you, however, and a relatively cheap one. Melatonin is a popular sleep aid that’s actually produced in the body. Its natural purpose is to regular your body’s sleep-wake cycle. Since it’s a naturally-occurring hormone, it also comes saddled with fewer risky side effe

The pages of comic books may be rife with powerful female characters, but when it comes to the fictional women fans can’t get enough of, Harleen Quinzel reigns supreme. The maniacal former mental health professional now known as Harley Quinn is many things: the Joker's ex-girlfriend, the unhinged leader of her own girl gang, and resident badass of the DC Universe.

When it comes to gaming, the controller you use to guide your character to victory is as important as your skills as a player. Sure, consoles like the PlayStation 4 come packing their own proprietary equipment when you purchase one, but you may find yourself needing an additional controller or having to replace one if the original breaks. Perhaps you just don’t like the color you received. Whatever the case may be, there are plenty of other Playstation controllers on the market that will suit y

The music industry has always been subject to lightning-fast changes. It's constantly in flux, reinventing and transforming itself in ways that we can never truly predict, and over the course of the last decade, we saw a chain of events play out that would forever alter the way we consume music. From the debut of the streaming era to the rise of diverse artists who dominated charts well into the end of the decade, the 2010s was a major turning point for artists of all stripes. At the start of t

Billie Eilish is everything your average pop star isn't. Routinely clad in oversize T-shirts, baggy sweats, and an attitude that won't quit, the 18-year-old superstar is a bundle of energy and brooding musicality who dances to the beat of her own drum. With her rainbow-hued locks, whispery vocals, and refusal to simply sit back and smile for the camera, she's fearlessly and unapologetically herself at all times. In an age where pop music (and the singers themselves) is routinely decried for be

Theory #1: He's the result of the Dark Side's manipulation of the Force What if Baby Yoda isn't simply an organic creature born to the Yoda species, but a creation of the Force? This theory is a bit difficult to follow, but it's one of the more popular schools of thought currently making the rounds among fans. Essentially, it plays off the idea that there needs to be balance in the Force — both light and dark — and positions Baby Yoda as coming into being in response to Darth Plagueis and Palp

The Xbox Series X, which was code named Project Scarlett, was revealed during The Game Awards 2019 on Thursday night, but it won't land until late 2020. Right off the bat, it's a much different beast than you might expect from Microsoft's Xbox systems. Its form factor alone is unlike anything the company has ever done, it's the most powerful system in the Xbox family and it's poised to launch your living room gaming setup into the stratosphere. It's succeeding the Xbox One X, which currently si

While there are exemptions that do exist to keep some men from having to enlist, those protections don’t extend to K-pop stars. In recent years, only a select group of artists, Olympic medalists, athletes who win gold at the Asian Games, and a few others may be granted exemption. The the select artists who receive exemptions are those who win second place or higher at certain international arts competitions and top placers at an arts competition in South Korea.

The Halloweentown series is something of a mainstay when it comes to memorable movies of the season, and yet its star Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) rarely gets the recognition she deserves for bringing one of the franchise's most powerful witches to life. She's caring, resourceful, and quick-witted and shares a deep love for Halloween that many of us can likely relate to. But despite having been kept from enjoying the spooky season for most of her life, she isn't bitter or angry. She simply

The world is full of bootlegs: that pair of Yeezy 350 Boosts the eBay seller swore was authentic, the AirPods that don’t quite feel hefty enough you got for a killer deal, and a ridiculous, alarming amount of video games. Bad news: That Game Boy-like system that came packing every single NES title ever released and then some? You were swindled in a big way.

Just as there are masterpieces and real stinkers with spooky TV shows and movies, the same can be said of Japanese anime. Luckily, horror is one area where the medium excels beautifully. With Halloween right around the corner, we've rounded up the most spine-tingling, terrifying anime series the industry has to offer. From Hellsing to When They Cry, there's something for everyone on this list, from anime newcomers to those who've watched all 900+ episodes of One Piece. Grab a change of underwear

Whether you're a BTS ARMY, a self-described BLACKPINK Blink, or a member of LOONA’s Orbit fanbase, there's one thing we can all agree on: K-pop is a global phenomenon quite unlike anything else. While we can credit South Korea as the country with many of the obsessions we carry with us every day (emotional television dramas, Mukbang videos, and amazing skincar

Ever since the ’80s summer camp theme was announced, American Horror Story fans anticipated a ninth season full of homages, outright or thematic, to classic slasher flicks. And, so far, AHS: 1984 does not disappoint. But unless you’re a horror buff, you might miss some of the references Ryan Murphy and co. have made throughout the new season and that’s why we’ve put together this handy list.

With exciting new video game releases scheduled to drop left and right throughout the rest of the year, it might be time to make some equipment upgrades to handle it all.
