Diablo 3: One of the Best Games I’ve Played in 2016

The bodies of a hundred demons lie strewn in our wake as we push forward. The dungeon we’re exploring has the feel of a temple swallowed whole by the Desolate Sands; its dusty walls weep endless streams of sand. Kormac, my Templar companion, pipes up during a rare moment of silence. “I tried to count how many we killed,” he barks with confidence, “but I’ve lost track.” I chuckle at his almost comedic level of nonchalance; he’s clearly seen all of this before. “By all that is holy!” Kormac shouts, breaking the silence yet again, “do you see that enemy over there?” I spot a towering bulb of flesh lumbering its way towards us, leading a horde of smaller creatures, all thirsty for our blood.

Star Wars VR Vs Star Trek VR

Let’s get disclaimers out of the way, as they’ll undoubtedly make it easier for Trekkies to dismiss what follows as pure Star Wars fanboyism. I am, unashamedly, a huge fan of Star Wars. Love the Original Trilogy. Hate the prequels. Han shot first. Tentatively love The Force Awakens, unless Episode VIII proves that all Disney wants to do is carbon copy the OT. Yeah, that guy.

In terms of Star Trek, I guess you’d say I’m a casual fan. J.J. Abrams' Kelvin Timeline reboot was the first time I saw any Star Trek property from start to finish, and I really like the first movie (plot conveniences notwithstanding) and I dug the sequels. So after recently going hands- and heads-on with Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission, the most convoluted title in gaming history, and Star Trek: Bridge Crew, I was obviously expecting to like the Star Wars experience more.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Tops Box Office

Despite a mediocre opening weekend, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children placed first at the box office, earning $28.5 million.

As noted by Variety, Tim Burton's new fantasy film is off to a slow start domestically, but is showing promise in international markets, having currently made $36.5 million oversees.

The film still has a ways to go if it's to reach profitability for 20th Century Fox, thanks to a production budget of $110 million.

As of right now, the studio remains unsure as to whether or not Miss Peregrine's will get a sequel. "It’s a promising start, but it’s too early to tell," Fox domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson said, adding, "There are multiple books and they are best-sellers, so the door is open."

Archer Creator Plans to End Series With Season 10

Adam Reed, the writer and executive of Archer, says he plans to wrap up FX's popular animated series with Season 10.

"The plan is to end Archer after Season 10," Reed said on a recent episode of the Modern School of Film’s Murmur podcast (via HitFix), noting that he was initially going to conclude the series with Season 8, but "had sort of a brain explosion of a way that I could do three more seasons and really keep my interest up."

Reed went on to reaffirm that the final three seasons will be a bit shorter, with each spanning just eight episodes. He also said Seasons 8 through 10 will not only be "pretty different" than the previous seven, but also "different from each other."

The Top 25 Smallville Episodes

Considering it's been off the air since 2011, October is a surprisingly busy month for Smallville. On October 1st, the entire series was released on Hulu, marking the first time Smallville was ever available to stream in the US. And on October 16th, Smallville celebrates its 15th anniversary, with the show beginning its 10-year, 217-episode run on that date in 2001.

With all that in mind, we're taking a look back at the 25 best episodes of the series and its depiction of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) going from a freshman in high school to finally taking on the mantle of Superman. Smallville evolved a lot over the decade it was on the air -- and went from the WB to the CW -- as Clark graduated, made new friends and began to encounter many more superheroes and villains.
