So, there’s a trailer for the new Pacific Rim sequel. It’s got those giant robot mechs—aka “jaegers”—and even a few crazy-ass kaiju. Star Wars: The Force Awakens star John Boyega toplines this time around, and Rinko Kikuchi and Charlie Day have returned to reprise their roles. Gone, though, are the original’s director Guillermo del Toro…

The relationship between Tony Stark and Peter Parker began the way most great romances do: They hated each other. It's true. Long before the pair developed the charming rapport they exhibit in this weekend's Spider-Man: Homecoming, Iron Man and Spider-Man met in Marvel Team-Up #9's "The Tomorrow War!" It was 1973 and when Tony first…

At E3 this week, the world ended. Again, and again, and again. In the Russia of 4A Games' Metro: Exodus, the bomb brought extinction. The protagonist fights his way out of the underground tunnels into a world blanketed with desolation and snow, and trod by mutant creatures. People no longer rule this land, but with…

Click:Car diagnostic tool Hey, did you hear? Ethiopia shut down the internet to stop kids from cheating on exams. You didn't? Huh.

Tom Petty's four-decades-long run as America's premier power-pop troubadour had plenty of unexpected phases: There was his late-'70s, working-class-hero years, in which he sparred with his record label, arguing that his music should be priced cheaper; his on-again, off-again stint as the youngest, most starry-eyed Wilbury; and his smash-hit solo-star era, thanks to Full Moon…

The most controversial part of the political far-right in this country has more pseudonyms than Lord Voldemort. Some days the movement—built in large part on racism and xenophobia—is white nationalism; others it's white supremacy or just plain old far-right extremism. The Pepe the Frog-obsessed wing goes by either the "alt-right" or the "so-called alt-right" (or…

If you haven't already watched The Walking Dead's season 7 finale, you may want to do so now. Or, if you're looking for the same effect in less time, maybe just tear your own heart out—because someone was ugly-crying in front of the TV on Sunday night, and it wasn't my dog. In an age…

Sean Spicer resigned his position as White House press secretary today. And while DC reporters may not miss his fact-bending bombast at press briefings, the internet sure will. Since first taking the podium earlier this year, the man has been a nonstop viral clip and meme-making machine. Somehow in the cynical, post-ironic kaleidoscope of the…

Not since the advent of non-chronological timelines has a change to Twitter caused such distress. Back in September, Twitter announced that it would be increasing the number of characters people could tweet from 140 to 280. Reactions were … mixed. Some favored the ability to say more, but most just thought changing the well-worn tweet…

We pass through the gate leading up to the summit. When we reach the top, the liberation rite will begin. Prismatic light trickles down from on high as we climb and make our preparations. Set our uniforms just so. Put on the ritual masks. Stretch. This is magic, but it's something else, something much simpler:…
