Fallout Series Review (Season 2)
After so many underwhelming video game adaptations, Fallout showed everyone how was it done with a knockout opening season in 2024. The second chapter takes a firmer grip on the source material, directly incorporating the lore into the main narrative. For the most part, it’s every bit as effective and engaging as the original.

Before Shadow, we were going to get Terios
What do Sonic and Shadow have in common? They are both hedgehogs, and they're both super-fast. However, there's a saying that they look alike, but I beg to differ you can clearly see they are so different from each other. Almost like Sonic and Shadow balance each other out. One is Yin, the other is Yang. I wanted to know why the character Amy constantly mistakes Shadow for Sonic. And being a complete nerd, I did some research, and the reason behind this whole thing of Sonic and Shadow supposedly looking exactly alike is because of the prototype of the character Terios the hedgehog. That was designed to be Sonic’s rival, figuratively speaking. Shadow wasn't supposed to exist; he was a last-minute change. Here's what I mean: Terios is literally a replica, you could say a mirror, because his name, in Japanese, means "reflection" or "imitation". He is primarily known as a piece of "lost" Sonic history that reappeared as an unlockable skin for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations, It's good to see the prototype actually got some time in the gaming, even though it was put back in storage.

Pet Sites From the 2000s: Where Are They Now?
When I was growing up, the Internet was packed with safe spaces for children: simple games, educational websites and pet sites that invited you to create a digital companion. Today, most of those websites have disappeared. However, pet sites were so huge at their peak that they still linger in the public's consciousness--and with "y2k" aesthetic making a comeback, these games might have another shot in the limelight.

When Ice Becomes a Battlefield
For most of the world, Greenland exists as a blur on the edge of the map—vast, frozen, distant. A place of ice sheets and silence. A place you don’t think about unless you’re scrolling past climate headlines or watching a documentary late at night.

What if the Inhumans Were Never Missing?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has never suffered from a lack of ideas. What it has suffered from, increasingly, is congestion—too many concepts competing for narrative oxygen, too many histories forced to coexist without the space to breathe. Few properties exemplify this problem more clearly than the Inhumans, a civilization introduced with enormous mythological potential and then effectively abandoned, left dangling somewhere between canon and apology.

Sorin's Final Adventure.. Content Warning.
The stone walls towered over the city, and as he passed through them, seeming to take notes of the town and its marketplace, which were lined with streamers and flags as if they had just finished celebrating some form of a festival. Plus, they were still tearing down decorations and cleaning the streets from the confetti used the day before Sorin's arrival. The round river rock cobblestone underfoot was a nice decorative touch that helped to enhance the charm of the large city.
