Honestly, the new Resident Evil 7 demo was great fun, creepy, and had some stunning visuals. But what many people seem to be saying is it feels more like an Outlast game than a true Resident Evil game (which is by no means a bad thing, but just not the Resident Evil we know and love). Yet today we hear of an upcoming horror game called “Daymare 1998” and while it won’t win any awards for best name, the game itself looks like a true successor to the amazing RE4 we all loved so much.
Also, please note the X-Files poster on the wall in first two minutes of demo, nice little easter egg. That paired with the palpably creepy atmosphere and you have what could very well be the next horror game that reminds of us the series that made horror games popular in the first place. Though some may say the lighting is a little dark and muddied looking, this is early footage and don’t forget, in a horror game the best part is not always being able to see what is coming for you!
We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled on this one for sure.

First off, if you have not watched Westworld on HBO stop reading this now. This will contain spoilers, speculation, and a bunch of other S words that will ruin this fantastic show for you, so just go watch it and come back, okay? For the rest of us, holy crap! That Westworld season finale was intense, stacking plot twists on top of plot twists, and showing us a much grander picture of what is all going on there with the hosts and creators and how they are reaching a point of technological singularity. But that is NOT what I am choosing to focus on here at all. All that was great, but there are plenty of people talking about it. What I want to talk about is Samurai World (come on, we all saw it) and the implications that one minute scene had on the future of this amazing television show.
So we saw Samurai World, and that alone tells us other time periods are definitely in this park. So we have feudal Japan. What else might be in there? In the original movie (spoiler alert) there was also a park that took place in ancient Rome. And on top of that, we can talk about the sequel to the movie that NO ONE KNOWS EXISTED called Futureworld (one guess where that park takes you) and you start seeing the bigger picture. Also, you guys do know the guy who wrote Westworld also wrote Jurassic Park, right? And you do know what the name of the most recent movie was, right? Jurassic World. If you think that a coincidence, just know they were working on the show when movie came out, just saying. Two plus two equals four, that is basic math.
A good friend had a theory about the show having worlds that tied all HBO shows together, from Deadwood to Game of Thrones to a Gangster world to The Sopranos. That is almost TOO brilliant to be possible, but just shows you how much we potentially have to look forward to from future seasons of Westworld. Is it weird I want a Pirate World, because I want a Pirate World. Just putting that out there. Hopefully my programmers are listening and are taking notes.
Now if you’ll excuse me, my narrative indicates I need to go write another article.
Top-billed actors will bring the beloved characters of McDuck Manor to life in the all-new animated comedy series “DuckTales,” premiering in summer 2017 on Disney XD channels around the world.
Leading the quack pack on globe-trotting adventures are: David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck, Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan as the voices of mischief-making Huey, Dewey and Louie, respectively, Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack, Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley, and Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack.
Apple has finally started selling its wireless AirPod earphones. They cost $159, though there’ll be a very small ‘discount’ if you need to replace a lost one.
If you’re thinking there’s scope for a somewhat convoluted scam of buying two replacements for $138 and then selling or gifting them, think again. The $159 purchase price also includes a charging case (which is also needed for pairing to non-Apple devices) and if you lose that, a replacement will cost – you guessed it — $69.
Exactly what proportion of the manufacturing costs goes on the earbuds and what goes on the case isn’t public knowledge, but that does mean there’s a good chance Apple will make more profit when it sells a replacement item than it does selling the original set.
Outside of the initial one-year warranty, repairs will cost $69 (are Beavis & Butthead setting the prices?) and battery replacements $49.
How Star Wars Should Have Ended (Special Edition). Years ago the classic Star Wars HISHE caught the eye of the internet and was the episode that launched our channel into life. It holds a very special place in our hearts. But as the years passed we started seeing requests for a “special edition” since the original didn’t quite match the style of our later HISHE episodes. And since it’s Star Wars season, we thought now would be a fun time to give the old episode the George Lucas updates she deserves. Enjoy!
The magnetic hourglass is a beautiful and mesmerizing timepiece for your desk!
Step away from the chaos for less than a minute with this mesmerizing twist on the hourglass. Filled with iron filings instead of sand, the Magnetic Hourglass has a rare earth magnet in its base which inexorably draws the filings toward it. They create formations almost like stalagmites, a kinetic sculptural performance you can enjoy for hours – 30 seconds at a time.
