The Internet Reacts To The First Look At Henry Cavill As Geralt Of Rivia

No Man’s Sky Underwater Update Opens Up New Worlds

With each update, No Man’s Sky finds new ways to make me obsessed with it. The latest update, the undersea-focused The Abyss, is no different.

Japan’s Infamous Halloween Trains

In years past, the “Halloween train” was a carriage taken over by costume-wearing foreigners, who turned it into an impromptu space for merrymaking and boozing. Tokyo’s Halloween train even sparked protests! My, how things have changed. When riding the Midosuji Line in Osaka in late September of last year, I saw an advertisement that, no…
