Through circumstances too lengthy to recap here, I once found myself abandoned along with a group of other people in virtual darkness deep in the Kango Caves in Oudtshoorn.

It may not have been for everybody, but I loved Napoleon Dynamite. It was an obscure movie that made the audience fumble their way through a plot that would have your mind doing doughnuts before you even got a hint of what was happening. Director Jared Hess will not be doing this with his upcoming movie Masterminds though, which may actually be a good …
If there’s one story that has been adapted more times than you can count, it has to be the Chinese tale of Journey To The West. Video games, TV series and various movies have all told the story of a great warrior who traveled west in order to find enlightenment. So what’s one adaptation then? Other than the brief trailer …
The CS2 skin market keeps evolving, and players are becoming smarter about how they …
