J. K. Rowling’s series of fantasy novels sparked the imagination of multiple generations. Over the course of seven books, we watched as Harry, Ron, and Hermione grew from impressionable children to mature teenagers on the cusp of adulthood. Whether referring to the books or movies, Harry Potter teleported audiences to a magical alternate reality where anything was possible. Hogwarts might see its fair share of sieges and mysterious incidents, but who would not trade their classroom for wizard school?...

Photographer François Dourlen has carved a niche for himself in producing some incredible images using an iPhone. However, his pictures aren’t great because they were taken with the device’s camera, rather that they feature the phone in some very inventive circumstances. Dourlen brings movie, cartoon, games and TV show characters to life in the real world by holding his phone up to everyday objects. And the results are brilliant. He brings an image of a film star or cartoon character up onto the iPhone screen and cleverly holds it in the right place so it looks like it is part of its surroundings....

When you think about it, the holiday season is an unusually dangerous time. Christmas and the subsequent year-end festivities typically involve large quantities of humans gathering together. And wherever large human gatherings go, disaster statistically usually follows. Even during this very strange Christmas season, in which families will (hopefully) forego mass gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic, plenty of dangers linger. What are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, if not massive fire hazards?...

Game Boys are the handheld consoles that just keep hanging on. They fulfilled our childhood dreams of being able to take our favorite games on the go with us, unless you didn’t have one, in which case… did you even have a childhood? Just kidding! Regardless of what your beliefs are about these handheld gaming systems, this article isn’t about that. Rather, we’ll be taking a look at what makes some of the coolest-looking Game Boys worth noting and, well, what doesn’t....

With recent reports predicting that Activision Blizzard would soon conduct sweeping layoffs, it was only a matter of time before the publishing powerhouse began the process. However, while hundreds of Activision and Blizzard employees were learning they no longer had jobs, the company tried to paint the picture of success for 2018. In a letter obtained by Kotaku, Blizzard president J. Allen Brack informed Activision Blizzard employees that a reduction in staff across the organization would begin today....

Theater chain AMC Theaters announces a delay to its planned re-opening date. This is the second major change that AMC Theaters has made to its planned re-opening after reversing a decision on whether viewers would need to wear masks to showings. In a statement, AMC Theaters confirmed that its reopening date has changed from July 15, 2020, to July 30, 2020. AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron said that general managers across the United States have now begun to work full time again and are “gearing up to get their buildings fully ready” for the July 30 reopening date....

Addicted to shopping, but hate going into Resident Services every day to access the Nook Stop? You’re not alone. Thankfully, Animal Crossing: New Horizons lets players unlock the Nook Shopping app on their NookPhone, making it easier than ever to drop thousands of Bells. The Nook Shopping app on NookPhones offers the same features as the Nook Stop in Resident Services. You’re still limited to five purchases for yourself each day — but having quick access from your phone makes it much more enjoyable to browse the extensive catalog....

Believe it or not, New Horizons’ resident entomophobe Blathers doesn’t find all bugs disgusting. Although he might be terrified when first handed one, there are some that he’s quick to compliment if given the chance. Typically, Blathers is one excited owl when the local museum receives a new donation. Fish? Loves ’em. Fossils? Has to have ’em. But bugs? Not happening. Heck, you don’t even have to donate the bug to him – just show it off in front of him and he’ll start to panic....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ first official manga is set to be released in September. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Vol. 1 Deserted Island Diary, a comedy manga will explore the lives of the villagers that inhabit your islands when you’re offline. The new manga will feature a number of eccentric villagers, as well as advice on being a standout island representative. Animal Crossing has so far seen several manga spinoffs, but this will be the first translated to English....

WandaVision is due to take the spotlight this week as it officially tackles the Disney Plus baton from The Mandalorian, however, with only nine scheduled episodes it won’t be long before it passes that honor onto The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Posing a radically different approach to WandaVision’s vintage sitcom-inspired plot, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looks more like the type traditional action-minded spectacle that MCU fans have grown accustomed to....

It’s not often that a community of players will commend a player for friendly fire, but it seems that Redditor tryunus87 has found an exception to that rule. In an Apex Legends video shared on the game’s subreddit, tryunus87 chronicles the tale of betrayal at the hands of a teammate and the sweet revenge that followed the traumatic event. Typically, friendly fire is disabled in Apex Legends, so even if players aren’t getting along with their teammates, there’s no way for them to directly sabotage each other....

As this post goes live the Apple event is taking place in San Francisco where it’s expected the iPhone 5 will finally be unveiled (or is it the “the new iPhone”?). You can follow Game Rant’s live blog right here but if you want a head start on the hot news, Apple may have unintentionally spoiled many of the surprises. Thanks to some savvy tech enthusiasts searching for unannounced products on the official Apple site, we know a few things that are about to be unveiled....

With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla having been released for a little while by now, fans have had their time to get accustomed to the main character. Eivor is unlike most of the protagonists in the series, mainly due to the unique background of the character, among other aspects found in the game. Due to the enormous length of Valhalla, a lot of facts about Eivor tend to get lost since players just can’t keep up with the abundance of information provided....

Coming up empty-handed is just part of the business in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Eivor can try to change the tides, but nothing can change history, which shows that the Viking invasion would be driven back by King Aelfred, an antagonist in the game. With the results being so abysmal, it stands to reason that Eivor isn’t going to win every fight. Cent is a great case-in-point regarding these failures. But don’t let Eivor’s failings become your own....

Maybe it’s the stats, maybe it’s the shiny look, and maybe it’s the lore of knighthood that calls Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players to retrieve the mighty Excalibur. Most likely, it’s a bit of all three. Regardless of the reason, getting it into the hands of Eivor is a worthy venture, but it isn’t easy and players who embark on the journey must be explorers, problem-solvers, and completionists. This guide’s entries are lined up by proximity to cut down on travel time, so gamers who have yet to start on the journey can start at the top and, by the time they get to the bottom, this legendary, mythical, two-handed greatsword will be all theirs....

Game of Thrones is one of those rare fantasy shows that delivers high quality content and compelling storytelling. It’s fair to attribute some recent mainstream attention for fantasy productions thanks largely in part to Game of Thrones as it has become the gold standard in which all shows must now judge itself against. The Books are based off George R.R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, and although the show has chosen to take some deviations from the books it has tried to stay true to the overall story and characters in the Game of Thrones universe....

The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime is an absolute treasure for more reasons than one. While it’s, in all honesty, a fantastic anime that ran for hundreds of episodes, it has also produced a lot of hilarious moments, for better or worse. The logic used in battle in the anime is sometimes completely devoid of any reasoning whatsoever and often differs from how the actual card game works in real life. Many times, cards gain new effects based on what the story requires, or completely new cards are just made up, which leads to some pretty ridiculous moments that have no business ever happening....

The “Console Wars” of the 16-bit generation, bitterly fought between Nintendo’s SNES and Sega’s Genesis, were a turning point for the industry. Such direct and savage competition had never been fought before, and, much like a real war, the burning rivalry inspired both major players to continue to innovate their technology and push themselves even further beyond in order to come out on top. Due to this, some may state that the Super Nintendo is one of the greatest systems ever released, likely due to the enormous amount of all-time classic games from multiple genres that stuff its stables....
