Trials Evolution: The 100 Year Easter Egg
The Trials series quickly became known for its Easter Eggs and fourth wall-breaking riddles, but Trials Evolution took things to an insane globe-trotting, century-spanning level. On par with National Treasure, it’s easily the greatest Easter Egg of all-time.
The Most Effective Horror Movie Ever Made
There are many films throughout history that have earned the label of being historic, iconic, or game-changing, but these monikers almost always only apply within the film industry itself. There are far fewer, if any, that have had an influence outside of Hollywood and literally changed the world at large.

Most Broken Video Game Characters: Ivan Ooze
The search is over. There is no comparison. Ivan Ooze is, by far, the most broken character in video game history. Whatever argument you want to make for any other character, you're wrong.
Most Broken Video Game Characters: Akuma
Akuma in Tekken 7 is in the unique position of being both broken and overpowered. The problem with Akuma is that he's not a Tekken character, he's a Street Fighter character. He may be in Tekken, but certainly does not play by the rules of Tekken.
Most Broken Video Game Characters: Brigitte
Very few characters in the history of gaming have ever had as big an impact on their respective games as Brigitte did on Overwatch. She destroyed one meta, created her own, then changed the fundamental architecture of the game forever.
Most Broken Video Game Characters: Lion
After 2 years of rising from the ashes of a disastrous launch filled with game-breaking glitches and failed mechanics, Rainbow 6: Siege found itself crawling back out of its own grave with the release of Year 3 Season 1: Operation Chimera, and the introduction of Lion.

ʻOumuamua: A Messenger From Afar
The first known interstellar object to visit our solar system. It divebombed in and left only mystery in its wake.

The Rings of Power recently completed its first season on Amazon Prime, adding to the barrage of streaming platforms adapting fantasy books into tv shows, and it’s actually really good, too good perhaps.
Fabiola da Silva: The Unsung Trailblazer
Before some of the most inspirational women in sports proved they are just as capable as men, Fabiola da Silva achieved what many of them likely never will.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Frieza

Greatest Villains of All-Time: Eric Sparrow
