The 2000s weren’t that long ago, right? But this labor of love by YouTuber Jennifer Titus, which consists of an hour-and-a-half of TV commercials from the decade, transports us to what feels like an entirely different era. That is a lot of extreme flavor (like Fruit Loop cereal straws) and wannabe coolness (remember…
This week, the official Twitter account of Sega posted a 4-minute clip of the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The video shows off some new gameplay from the upcoming Nintendo Switch title that actually looks prettyfun. There’s a mode to play the Olympic games from 1964, the last time…
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child,” reads Corinthians 1:13, “but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” That’s true for plenty of things, but not, by and large, for Blink-182 fans. Fans and critics both, I’ve noticed, love to grapple with their enduring…
For many people—and especially those now forced to wade through a Food Network line-up over-leavened with cooking competitions, frosted tips, and the endless effort to defeat notorious grill monster Bobby Flay—there were few food shows more entertaining (or informative) than Alton Brown’s Good Eats. Fast-paced,…
A film project that was already fairly “Huh, really?” got even “Huh, really?”-er today, as THR reports that Wesley Snipes has signed on to co-star in Coming 2 America. The Eddie Murphy/Arsenio Hall sequel—a 31-years-later follow-up to the odyssey of Prince Akeem, Soul Glo, and the McDowell’s restaurant dynasty—is…
In case you were not aware, the Overwatch League Grand Finals will be played in Philadelphia on Sunday, September 29th. God willing, our guys, the Philadelphia Fusion, will win the title on home soil, then we’ll parade down Broad Street as Carpe crushes beers on the double decker bus.
Another cool thing about that weekend is that Comcast Spectacor is hosting a huge outdoor party at the Wells Fargo Center, with a Saturday concert headlined by world famous DJ Martin Garrix. You’re probably familiar with his “Summer Days” song, featuring Macklemore and the dude from Fall Out Boy, which has 20 million Youtube views.
Interestingly enough, this is the first outdoor concert the Wells Fargo Center has hosted in 22 years. The only other outdoor jawn to take place at the venue was back in 1997, when Metallica played the parking lot of what was then called the CoreStates Center.
The entire gig exists online, so enjoy after the jump:

Martin Garrix has risen to global stardom in pop as well as electronic circles – and yet he’s far from being done. Dance music’s freshest talent has headlined festivals around the globe, founded a label and mentored other artists and won the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 three times in a row.
Garrix’ musical achievements have not gone unnoticed. They were awarded with two MTV EMAs in 2016, holding the #1 spot in the 2017 and 2018 DJ Mag Top 100, a ‘Man of Today’ accolade from GQ, a spot among Forbes’ ’30 Under 30’ and another at Billboard’s ‘EDM Power Players’. Last but not least, he performed at Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show twice, as the first Dutch guest ever and also used his guitar for an unplugged version of ‘Dreamer’ with MIKE YUNG on Good Morning America.
A naturally outgoing person and a born entertainer, Martin has also been a welcome guest at some of the world’s most important stages. He has headlined at festivals that most musicians can only dream of including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival. Next to that, he also locked down residencies at two of the world’s most prestigious clubs: Ushuaıä Ibiza and Omnia Las Vegas.
Garrix continues to produce diverse sound, most recently with his 2019 releases, ‘No Sleep’ and the summer smash ‘Summer Days’ with Macklemore and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.
TNT’s Snowpiercer adaptation has had its share of difficulties, derailments we’ve documented in these same internet pages. The series, which stars Daveed Diggs as one of the passengers caught up in the perpetual motion machine that is capitalism, lost a showrunner (Josh Friedman, who’s co-writing both Avatar 2 and …
Giannis shot 25.6% on a career-high 2.8 three point attempts per game this past season. He averaged 27.7 points with a very nascent long-range game, so I can’t imagine what his overall skill set would look like if he got his three point percentage into the 30s.
As for Kyle Korver, it would appear that he is a traitor.
It’s been roughly three years since Nickelodeon announced it was reviving cult comedy Rocko’s Modern Life for a TV movie, and two years since we got our first glimpse of it. Now, Netflix, who will air the special, has shared a new teaser, as well as a release date of August 9.
I like it. Look at those guns, are all baseball players that ripped? Think of the extra controversy and discussion we could have after every game. Whoa look at Harper, he's jacked! Ah Hoskins is a bit doughy but look at those gunz!
Cleveland thoroughly trounced the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, 11-1. While a professional baseball knower might make a note about Cincinnati’s shoddy bullpen, or Greg Allen’s impressive day in the batter’s box and out in the field, I found the most interesting aspect of the game to be the Reds’ jersey choice.
After years of all-purpose clunkiness, computer crashes, unwanted U2 albums, and the occasional experience of actually listening to and enjoying some music, Apple has confirmed that it’s finally putting its fabled iTunes media program out to pasture. Per Rolling Stone, the company will be replacing the software with a…
Star Wars is everywhere, including, it appears, adorable children’s recitals. One Twitter user has shared a video of a cute, disjointed group of toddlers working through “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” only for one little dude to swerve it straight into a confident rendition of “The Imperial March.”
