One recent event in The Sims 4 proves another consistent problem with the game and its updates, leaving players annoyed. The game is no stranger to bumps as new base game updates and packs are consistently being released, as it is known for being imperfect even 10 years after its initial release. With the introduction of these events, it is no surprise that it comes with problems that players are expressing their frustrations over.

However, there might be a point at which everything might feel like too much, leaving players overwhelmed. The latest online event, which uses limited-time pressure to keep players in the loop,...

Any horror franchise that sticks around for more than a handful of entries becomes an institution by default. And few long-running horror franchises have provided genre fans with such a rollercoaster as "V/H/S," perhaps because each movie in the series feels like an unpredictable theme park ride in its own sick, twisted, ambitious way.

The first "V/H/S" film, released in 2012, laid out the endlessly adaptable format: a horror anthology consisting of "found footage" shorts, each of them directed by a different filmmaker, with only a thin (if that) thread connecting them all. Really, each "V/H/S" segment is an excuse for a director to cut loose, to run wild, and to tell a brisk, violent, sometimes funny and sometimes disturbing tale of terror. The only real rule is that it has to be found footage, but even that is malleable. Stories in the series are told from camcorders, GoPros,...

Warning: Major Spoilers ahead for Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

The soundtrack in the Amazon series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is highly original and makes a significant impact on the overall tone of the show. The musical score composed by David Fleming enhances the series and contributes to its impressive 87% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. Each episode of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" features carefully selected songs that reflect the story's themes and add depth to the characters' experiences.

Amazon's Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 1 features a great and highly original soundtrack. Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is more of a remixed version of the original 2005 action comedy starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie than it is a close remake. Created by Glover and fellow Atlanta writer Francesca Sloane, the show is one of 2024's first must-watch television series, with a Mr. & Mrs. Smith's...

After exploring the 90s in the previous two entries, V/H/S/85, the sixth(!) entry in the V/H/S franchise, throws things back to the decade where VHS ruled the roost – once again using the found-footage format to tell a handful of spooky stories from directors David Bruckner, Scott Derrickson, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Natasha Kermani, and Mike P. Nelson.

After a brief flick through 80s television, replete with a pause on an Unsolved Mysteries-style show called Total Copy, which tells the story of Rory a test subject at Stamer University, to open proceedings. A show that the film returns to throughout its running time before wrapping things up in traditional anthology fashion and revealing Rory’s connection to the shorts we’ve just watched.

‘A great, nasty, barmy mixtape of pure ‘80s chaos that you won’t want to skip!’

★★★★

Starburst

‘The strongest set of shorts… fun, gory, creepy’

UK Film Review

‘Isn’t afraid to break a few rules… the most thematically consistent and bloodiest, entry in the series thus far’

Dread Central

‘Another jewel in the V/H/S crown… gives the fans exactly what they are screaming for with a few added treats… a wickedly joyous time’

We travel back to the haunted era of shoulder pads, perms and scream queens with V/H/S/85, the ‘best entry yet’ (Flickering Myth) in the seminal V/H/S horror franchise. In the sixth instalment of the brilliantly bloody Shudder Original series, we turn the clock back to the 1980s for a retro rampage of old-school horror chills and thrills.

Promising another helping of found footage fear V/H/S/85 arrives on Blu-ray, DVD...

Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has teamed up with funk legend George Clinton for a new single titled “Ezekiel’s Wheel.”

Arriving ahead of Erick’s forthcoming debut solo album, I’ve Never Been Here Before, “Ezekiel’s Wheel” demonstrates his style, combining soul, funk, and hip-hop influences with free-flowing verses inspired by his upbringing attending church with his family in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Between Erick’s stanzas, Clinton interjects with anchoring lines like: “And there it is/ so goes the story/ Do the best you can/ and then funk it.”

The single features a beat produced by Matt Zara and arrives today along with a visualizer consisting of shots of Erick and Clinton. Watch it below.

So far, Erick has shared three other singles from I’ve Never Been Here Before. In July 2023, he dropped the lead single “Parkour,” which featured production by James Blake. In October, he shared “Ambrosia” featuring Channel Tres,...

Ragnarok is the final competition between the Gods and humanity, with the strongest fighters in history facing off against the most powerful gods from several pantheons. The warriors selected represent the very best either side has to offer as they fight to the death over whether humanity deserves to survive.

Currently, the competition is about to begin its eighth round in the Record of Ragnarok manga, with 14 champions — or 15, depending on personal opinion — having battled so far. Every competitor is powerful, but without a doubt, some are stronger than others.

Updated by Lauren Turner & Ajay Aravind on December 14, 2023: Record of Ragnarok quickly gained popularity among viewers. Luckily, the second part of Season 2 premiered on Japanese TV on July 12, 2023, but viewers have no idea when the rest of the manga will be adapted. Until then, fans can review the best fighters in the series. As such, we've revamped this list...

Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has announced his highly-anticipated debut solo album, I’ve Never Been Here Before, out February 23rd. As the latest preview, the rapper has shared the new single, “Shook Up,” featuring Joey Bada$$ and Farr.

The 16-track LP delves into deeply personal themes of Black resilience and fearlessness, soundtracked by intertwining sounds of hip-hop, soul, dub, and psych. Linden Jay, T-Minus, and James Blake served as producers, with Westside Boogie, George Clinton, Channel Tres, and Kimbra contributing features.

After years of collaboration, “Shook Up” is the first track to see Erick and Joey Bada$$ unite as a rap duo. In a press statement, Erick said, “I’ve always admired Joey’s ability to tell stories and he came to mind as soon as Linden and Romeo played me the demo of the record. I loved bringing both of these worlds together, as I’m a...

V/H/S/85 reinvigorates the franchise by going back to the '80s, capturing the authentic aesthetic and subverting horror movie tropes. "No Wake" delivers what fans want in a nostalgic slasher trip, with grainy footage, rowdy friends, and unexpected kills. "Ambrosia" relies on '80s horror knowledge and clever storytelling to reveal a family tradition of murder, showcasing the indulgent combination of violence, sex, and comedy that defined the era.

V/H/S was found in the dilapidated house of a creepy old man in 2012 and has grown a following in the horror community as the series of films continued to grow. Being anthologies, not every entry is going to be a winner, but fans became worried by the time V/H/S/99 was released and was noticeably lacking in most areas that had made the films a success. This September, the newest entry in the franchise, V/H/S/85, reinvigorated the franchise that fans were worried...

Plot: Unveiled through a made-for-tv documentary, five tales of found footage horror emerge to take viewers on a terrifying journey into the grim underbelly of the 1980s.

Review: Found footage has never been my bag but I always try to give it a fair shot. It can often feel very limiting to tell a believable story when confined to a device like that. But over the years there have been films that have proven me wrong. While not every segment of the VHS series hits, the one’s that do show the heights you can reach within the subgenre. So it’s easy to get excited whenever a new VHS entry is announced. It’s even more exciting when the creative team behind it are some of the hottest writers and directors in all of horror. So it’s understandably a bit disappointing that this one is simply decent.

Final Fantasy 16 is the latest entry into the popular franchise and features all the staples of the series, including the magnificent Chocobo. The fictional bird has appeared in some capacity in nearly every Final Fantasy title since Final Fantasy 2, and now players are wondering how much Chocobos can play a part in Final Fantasy 16. Though the game is not an incredibly large open-world style, it still has a lot of ground for players to cover if they want to explore all of Valisthea, and having a mount would make that task not only easier but faster.

Final Fantasy 16 is a long game with many hours of story, combat, and exploration for players to enjoy. Its beautiful graphics and landscape are a joy to experience, however, there is a lot of it to see. When relegated to traveling by foot, it can take Clive a long time to get everywhere he needs to go,...
