When The Karate Kid premiered in 1984, new students rushed to enroll in Karate Dojos across the nation. However, for anyone aspiring to learn the true ways of Miyagi-Do—or Cobra Kai as the case may be—Dojos weren’t propounding deck sanding and fence painting as part of their curriculum. There are many different styles of Karate. Fans wondered which style Daniel and Johnny were really doing. Now that Netflix has picked up Cobra Kai from YouTube Red, a whole new crop of fans has discovered the show and the question has come up again: What type of Karate do they practice at Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai?...

When it comes to spooky, the ’90s just did it best – and ’90s kids couldn’t get enough of it. We grew up the last decade when being a witch was cool thanks to that “hippie witch” grunge aesthetic and the popularity of Twin Peaks. Bizarre puppet-driven movies like The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and The Neverending Story seemed to endlessly play on TV, meanwhile, were you even a 90s kid if you didn’t have the full set of Goosebumps books and a few of the real scary ones… Point Horror!...

Since The Sims franchise has been about living one’s fantasy life since its very conception, there isn’t really any judgment towards players who like to use cheats. In fact, over the years, cheats have become a pretty essential part of the game itself, an iconic feature without which the franchise just wouldn’t be what it is today. 10 Free Real Estate Getting the nicest houses was always a struggle in the first two games....

In advance of its December debut, CBS All Access has put out the first short teaser for its upcoming horror miniseries Stephen King’s The Stand. Anchored by a glimpse of Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abigail Freemantle, and ending with the appearance of Alexander Skarsgård’s Randall Flagg, the trailer is only 30 seconds long. Also, Whoopi gets into a staring contest with a wolf, for reasons. The trailer provides several brief glances of the series’s ensemble cast in the trailer, including Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith, Jovan Adepo as Larry Underwood, Heather Graham as Rita Blakemoor, James Marsden as Stu Redman, and Greg Kinnear, mostly hidden behind a cloud of smoke, as Glen Bateman....

A few things leap out after watching the trailer for Stardust, the biopic about David Bowie’s US tour in 1971 wherein he created the Ziggy Stardust alter-ego and was launched to international stardom. Firstly, the title has already been used on the perfectly good 2007 Matthew Vaughn fantasy-adventure Stardust. Secondly, that lead actor Johnny Flynn, a promising British actor in Beast, Emma, and Lovesick and a solid musician in his own right, seems to be doing a poor impersonation of Noel Fielding instead of the Starman himself....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 5 One of the appeals of the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead is that there’s no real government except that which is chosen by the people locally. There aren’t people a thousand miles away telling you how to live your life, what you can and cannot do. That’s why you can have democracies like Alexandria existing right next door to death cults like The Whisperers, oligarchies like The Saviors right next to survival of the fittest bands like The Wolves, and why a return to the civilization offered by the Commonwealth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be....

The story of Geralt of Rivia is a fascinating tale indeed, detailing the life of a witcher in an intricate world full of mystery, magic, horror, love, and a lot of combat. The games introduced Geralt in the easiest way possible — by giving him amnesia. Over the course of the games, Geralt embarked on the quest to regain his memories, doing so at the end of The Witcher 2. This revealed the presence of several important people in his life, including Ciri....

CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt debuted five years ago. Despite its age, it is still commonly used as a benchmark to compare modern RPGs with. Renown for its highly immersive gameplay and moral complexity, the third installment is one that players have sunk countless hours into. Regardless of how much playtime you have in The Witcher 3, it is likely that you haven’t seen everything it has to offer....

With some of the best-designed monsters in gaming, The Witcher series has become the go-to video game to satisfy monster-slaying needs. But with so many sorcerers in the game, it makes players wonder who would come out on top if they went head to head with some of the consoles’ most famed foes. Triss is not only one of Geralt’s love interests in The Witcher, but she is a sorceress with some impressive powers, especially in Wild Hunt....

The many quests found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are diverse and unpredictable for the most part, granting the interesting developments and dialogue that players have come to love from all games in the trilogy. Although the one titled “Magic Lamp” is not the most exciting when it comes to combat, storytelling, or character development, it still offers a simple yet satisfying puzzle as well as some hidden loot....

The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion has a lot more quests than a typical DLC. And one of the most useful to complete is named “Turn and Face the Strange.” This is because it grants you access to Mutation abilities, which make Geralt even more powerful. It’s triggered at some point after “Blood Run” when a little boy approaches and hands you a letter from either Yennefer or Triss, depending on who you romanced (if neither, it’ll be from the former)....

Quickly becoming the ace up Microsoft’s sleeve, Xbox Game Pass has gone on to become one of the company’s biggest assets, amassing millions of monthly subscribers through its consumer-friendly, pay-per-month model. Over the last few weeks, the service has brought on board tons of new titles from huge developers, such as Resident Evil 7, Wasteland 3, and, for PC players, Crusader Kings 3. Sadly, for all these games to make the jump to Game Pass there have to be some that depart, and Microsoft has just announced six games that will seemingly not be making the cut....

Microsoft has been aggressively promoting its Xbox Game Pass subscription service lately, making some big moves to bolster the lineup. The recent Bethesda acquisition saw 20 games from the company added to Xbox Game Pass, whereas the upcoming triple-A game Outriders will be debuting on Game Pass on its launch day. But while new games are added to Xbox Game Pass on a regular basis, titles occasionally leave the service as well....

Although Goku is typically framed as the hero of Dragon Ball, there are countless times when his judgment is more than a little questionable. Like a child playing with his food, he regularly delays ending his fights which typically puts both people and planets at risk. This is only the tip of the iceberg though. He may well be the most powerful Saiyan in existence, but Goku is far from the brightest....

When beloved developer Neversoft Studios was regularly cranking out games in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater entries, the team loved to slip out-there cameo characters into the roster, letting fans grind and carve as both established skaters or Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. While the THPS franchise eventually went the way of the buffalo, fans clamored for the series to come back, never giving up hope that Mr. Hawk would one day 900 back onto consoles....

The nostalgia trip that is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 brings back most things players love from the original games. All the classic stages and tricks make reappearances, as do the many common mistakes Tony Hawk players make. Of course, there are some new features in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2.

Gaming is full of iconic first levels. World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. comes to mind, along with Sonic the Hedgehog’s Green Hill Zone. There’s also the opening sections of the likes of Mass Effect 2, The Last of Us, and Resident Evil 4, which while not traditional first levels in the way of Mario or Sonic, immediately pull players in and set the tone for the game. But I’d argue that Warehouse, the first level of the first ever Tony Hawk’s game (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater), is better than all of them....

Netflix is on a bit of a true crime heater at the moment. Thanks to the Ryan Murphy double feature of Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Watcher, Netflix was the go-to place for true crime nerds last month.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a blast to the past that should be enjoyable for fans to revisit, but the outdated graphics and gameplay may be disenchanting to newcomers. For many gamers, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was the first foray into the world of first-person shooters. Originally premiering on the Nintendo 64, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter preceded other iconic shooter games like Goldeneye, and employed an intriguing combination of historic, modern, and futuristic weaponry to combat a wide variety of enemies, including dinosaurs, cyborgs, and even humvees....

This mid-air shootout between these two Call of Duty: Warzone squads ends with an explosive finish. As the title suggested, this Warzone clip is like a scene from a Michael Bay movie. We’ve got Reddit user GutchickSlayer and their crazy team for this equally crazy video with two squads trying to shoot each other out of the skies. We start in a mid-air chase. GutchickSlayer is taking potshots with an M4, but at that distance, it’s more like spraying and praying....
