Stephen King has published over 60 novels in his 50-year career as the most recognizable name in horror. Most of King's books are standalone works, though he has penned a few series, including The Dark Tower. By far King's longest story, The Dark Tower comprises eight books released over a 30-year stretch starting in 1982. In 2007, Marvel began adapting The Dark Tower into comic books. Although the adaptation was eventually canceled before reaching its proper conclusion, fans of original...
The diss track battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar seemingly brought the world together and held social media in a chokehold over the weekend with who won (It's Kendrick, right?). Both men dug into each other with their singles and caught the attention of WWE Hall of Famer (and self-proclaimed Heartbreak Kid) Shawn Michaels.
Michaels made a career out of bringing his in-ring rivalries into the "real" world and for years was seen as professional wrestling's bad boy with an even worse...

Before Ryan Reynolds settled on the idea to make Deadpool and Wolverine a team-up film with those two main characters, the actor pitched numerous other ideas that never got off the ground. Reynolds told Empire that one of his first ideas was to create a Rashomon-style movie about Deadpool and Wolverine about an adventure the pair shared, but told from "three completely different perspectives."
Marvel boss Kevin Feige, however, said no, in part because he himself wasn't sure what the best...
Vin Diesel's first appearance as Richard B. Riddick in 2000's Pitch Black helped establish him as a movie star, and led to the franchise's first sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick, in 2004. Since then, the pace of the franchise slowed down considerably, with only a single sequel, Riddick, following in 2013. But now, after an 11-year hiatus between films, Riddick is going back in front of the cameras this summer.

Don't count on the development team behind Manor Lords ballooning into a big operation, no matter how much fans ask for more content. For starters, one person was in charge of the medieval strategy game--Greg Stycze?. On top of that, publisher Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender noted "that's just fundamentally not the way things work."
Bender opened up to PC Gamer about how fans are already asking for "faster updates" for Manor Lords, which put up huge numbers on Steam when it launched late last...

Mechanical keyboards can be expensive, with many name-bran models carrying price tags well over $100. But it's possible to get a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard that doesn't look cheap--and a great example is the MageGee Portable 60% MK-Box Gaming Keyboard. Though we haven't tested this particular keyboard, its stylish look and thousands of five-star user reviews on Amazon caught our attention--and it's only $25 for a limited time.

Since the first look at Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the pictures and clips have depicted Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) as a tyrant who is an enemy to both apes and humans alike. However, the full extent of Proximus' evil hadn't come into focus until the newly released extended preview for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. In this footage, the new ape hero, Noa (Owen Teague), lives peacefully in his village until Proximus Caesar captures everyone and forces them into slavery. And...

Amazon is offering steep discounts on popular CPUs for gaming, including both 12th-generation and 13th-generation Intel processors, alongside a handful of powerful AMD models. None of the sales are advertising an end date, but we can't imagine these generous price cuts will stick around for long.
For folks unfamiliar with how Intel names its CPUs, all the products on sale might look the same. However, there's an easy way to decode product names like the Intel Core i9-12900KF. For example, the...
In 1994, William Shatner's Captain James T. Kirk met his end during Star Trek: Generations, the first film to feature the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation on the big screen.

Now, at 93-years old, Shatner has one last pitch to resurrect Kirk by using de-aging technology to make himself appear three decades...
