It’s the end of an era. Blockbuster - once a pioneer in the video rental space - is to close its remaining retail stores in the US, as well as end its DVD by Mail operations in the country. Blockbuster’s brand and video library will be retained by owner Dish. Blockbuster was reorganised in the US under the country’s bankruptcy laws and then acquired by Dish in 2011. Joseph P Clayton, president and chief executive of Dish, blamed consumer demand moving toward digital distribution of video entertainment as the reason why it will close the last of Blockbuster’s 300 US retail stores....

The game Bloodborne is filled with grotesque and utterly horrifying bosses, among them Rom, the Vacuous Spider, the mysterious spider of Byrgenwerth. Rom’s boss fight is a real turning point in the game, going from Gothic horror to full-blown Lovecraftian, and while it isn’t the most exciting boss fight, everything surrounding Rom is rife with juicy lore. Despite being released back in 2015, Bloodborne is still hugely popular, which means it’s still getting terrific fan art even after half a decade....

As players will know, Bloodborne is no cakewalk. This Dark Souls spiritual successor is as unforgiving and relentless as the main series itself. If you’re unable to ‘git gud,’ very good very quickly, you’re going to have a super rough time on the streets of Yharnam. The fact is, though, Bloodborne released over five years ago. The faithful have muddled their way through by now, probably countless times. Even so, the optional Chalice Dungeons remain unexplored by many, out of fear of their difficulty and complexity....

Lady Maria is one of the most interesting characters in Bloodborne. Although only introduced in the DLC, Lady Maria’s importance is present throughout the game. After she was introduced in The Old Hunters DLC, she quickly became a favorite among fans for her balanced challenge and well-designed move sets. Her weapon also becomes one of the game’s most popular. Outside of her portrayal during her boss fight, Lady Maria’s backstory and lore run deep and are extremely essential in Bloodborne through her relationship with Gehrman....

Most fans know BoJack Horseman for its wacky animal cast, quippy puns, and moving exploration of mental illness. But as creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg once told Variety, BoJack Horseman is also a series centered on “showbiz satire.” A crucial element of the critically beloved hit is how its storylines critique the entertainment industry’s seedy underbelly. BoJack Horseman season 2 used its Bill Cosby-like arc to remind audiences how often Hollywood sweeps sexual assault allegations under the rug....

Gearbox Studios has confirmed the upcoming Borderlands 3 has officially gone gold, a little over a month before the game’s September release.

June was a big month for Borderlands 3. Not only did Gearbox launch the third DLC Bounty of Blood, for the popular looter-shooter but alongside the DLC Gearbox also introduced a large number of changes to Mayhem Mode to improve the endgame grind.

Although the Zelda series is no stranger to the idea of mini-bosses, they were usually relegated to dungeons, where they would often be the protectors of whatever key item that dungeon held to solve its puzzles. Breath of the Wild mixes up this formula by having them roam the overworld, waiting for an unsuspecting hero to stumble upon them. While there are only a handful of mini-bosses in Breath of the Wild, they are scattered around Hyrule diversely, making it easy for players to find one should they want a challenge or monster parts for crafting....

Bride of Frankenstein was long set for a major remake movie treatment from Universal as part of the “Dark Universe,” a continuity-unified Marvel-esque movie franchise for which the exorbitantly-produced Tom Cruise-headlined 2017 remake of The Mummy was designed as the kick off. Of course, that movie flopped spectacularly, derailing the Dark Universe plans, leaving Bride at the proverbial pre-production altar. However, said Bride remake may still have a chance to scream on the big screen....
