The Top 10 South Park Episodes
With over 250 episodes under its belt, South Park is one of the most successful and long-running TV comedies -- animated or otherwise -- of all time. Since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997, the series has delivered a wide range of unique stories, all of them courtesy of creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
As Season 20 (!!) gets ready to begin, we've compiled an updated Top 10 South Park episodes list, looking back at the entire series so far through Season 19.
Narrowing the list down to just 10 episodes was a tough process, and of course there are still some classics that didn't make the cut: "Obama Wins!", "Super Best Friends," "Asspen" and the Black Friday episodes. But, as awesome as those episodes were (and are), the following 10 are what we consider to be the best of the best. As always, tell us your favorites in the comments below!
Pratt Wants a Star-Lord/Punisher Crossover
Chris Pratt, who stars as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) in Guardians of the Galaxy, recently weighed in on which character from the MCU he'd like to meet up with on the big screen, selecting the Punisher as his top choice.
While promoting the upcoming film Magnificent Seven, Pratt told We Got This Covered that he "would like Peter Quill to meet the Punisher," noting that while the character—recently played by Jon Bernthal in Netflix's Daredevil series—isn't currently featured in the movies, "it would be awesome" if it could somehow happen.
Pratt went on to say that Frank Castle (aka the Punisher) was his "favorite growing up" and it would "be cool for Peter Quill" to have the opportunity to meet him.
29 Photos of the Awesome One Piece Restaurant
Beneath the iconic Fuji TV building in Tokyo, Japan is One Piece Restaurant Baratie, a fun One Piece-themed restaurant that’s at the end of its run.
Many game and anime character cafes are only open for a limited time, and we managed to catch the grand finale run of the One Piece restaurant in Odaiba. The meals were named after events or arcs in the anime, and the decor resembles the Baratie ship from the show.
Check out the gallery below for images of the restaurant’s decor and food.
If you can’t make it out to Tokyo by the end of the month when One Piece Restaurant Baratie closes, there are other One Piece-themed restaurants open in Tokyo Tower with different menus.
Sausage Party Director Heads Up Toxic Avenger Remake
Conrad Vernon, who co-directed the decidedly non-kid friendly Sausage Party, is taking on the re-imagining of cult classic Toxic Avenger.
For those concerned about the purity of the Toxic Avenger franchise, Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Films are on board to executive produce. According to Variety, Archer's Mike Arnold and The Grackle's Chris Poole will handle writing duties on the movie.
Chances are if you're familiar with Toxic Avenger, you're familiar with Troma Films. If not, Troma is known for its low-budget, B-movies, of which Toxic Avenger is perhaps its greatest hit. Other notable Troma movies include Surf Nazis Must Die, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., and of course the five Toxic Avenger movies.

Huge Dark Spots Appear Just Outside Our Galaxy
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have detected two massive "holes" in the otherwise glimmering sheet of stars just outside the Milky Way.
The holes themselves are invisible, but can be detected by the effect their gravity has on visible matter within its range. These spots could point science in the direction of a better understanding of dark matter.

Twitch Chat Beats a Chess Grandmaster
Last week, the Twitch chat took on British Chess Grandmaster Simon Williams in Ripstone's Pure Chess Grandmaster Edition. And, together, they eventually bested the grandmaster.
Twitch vs Pure Chess Grandmaster ran for four hours on September 9 and spanned three matches. During the event, Twitch users voted for chess commands using the Twitch chat. In the first match, which went on for two hours, Williams was able to secure a win, though Twitch chat was no slouch. In the second match, Williams was blindfolded while playing, relying only on Ripstone employee Mike Rose to read moves to him. He won that one, too.
