Now, Hollywood is looking at other video game franchises to make movies out of....

We all know what Star Wars brought to the table in the late 1970s. But, when George Lucas and company decided to return to the galaxy far far away, the excitement was slain by the product. It was 1999, and the tension between Star Wars fans and the wait in the theatre line-ups was palpable. Leaving the cinema, however, the list of things that excited movie-goers was tiny. Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, as it would be long-windedly called, brought us two of the most interesting things to the Star Wars mythos....

For those who love a good post-apocalyptic FPS game, there’s no better choice than the Fallout franchise. Its disastrously bad Fallout 76 title aside, games like New Vegas and Fallout 4 are definitely worth picking up even years after their release.

A Korean Overwatch fan has recreated Bastion out of cucumbers and toothpicks. For some reason. Cucumbers are a vegetable believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and cultivated for around 3,000 years. The vine vegetable then traveled to China where traders brought it to Korea. Today, cucumbers are a staple vegetable in Korea, where it’s often fermented, fried, or turned into the core of a pretty good salad. Any Korean restaurant worth its kimchi will have a cucumber salad on the menu, and will probably just provide it as a free side dish....
