Super RubberRoss World Is Here for All the Super Mario Maker 2 Sadists

Ross "RubberNinja/RubberRoss" O'Donovan is an animator, voice actor, streamer, and absolute sadist who has created some of the most difficult levels in the Super Mario Maker franchise. A few years back, when the first iteration of Super Mario Maker was released, Ross did what any good diabolical friend would do: made levels for his buddies to play on their Let's Play channel.

If she's worried about what the Biden appointees will do to undermine her work, well, that's a pretty good testament to the incoming administration.

Aubrey Plaza’s Thriller Black Bear Digs Into the Power Dynamics on Set

Aubrey Plaza's Allison lying down next to Gabe in Black Bear.

This thriller is a feverish nightmare that kicks off as a play-like drama and morphs into a satirical love/hate letter to independent filmmaking. As such, it focuses on the power dynamics on set, messing with the viewer’s notions of commitment, love, and art-making.

We Got a Glimpse of Young Diana in a New Scene From Wonder Woman 1984!

Little Diana Prince making us cry

Wonder Woman 1984 is streaming on Christmas Day for fans on HBO Max and it's truly a perfect Christmas Day movie. Mainly because Diana represents a hero who strives for truth and kindness. She's a warrior, she's the strongest among them, but she still has a lot to show the world and I can't wait to see Wonder Woman 1984 again.

Putin acknowledged Biden's win before McConnell

Just let that sink in a moment. Russian President Vladimir Putin—a man who’s held that office since 2012 and will probably never leave it, a man who has actively worked to undermine American democracy for years and delighted in the leverage he held over Donald Trump—that man congratulated Joe Biden on his presidential victory before […]

Allow Us to (Try to) Explain What the Hell Happened With Cyberpunk 2077

Image used to advertise Cyberpunk 2077.

Honestly, every time I thought about writing something in regards to the mystifying development of 2020's latest meme factory, something else would be added to the story. It's reached a point where I have no idea if the game is even good, and I'm not sure anyone else can tell at this point either, because everyone's talking about glitches, game crashes, crunch time, transphobia, lack of accessibility, racism, and just ... it's a lot.
