Europa Universalis 5 review: A beautiful storm of possibility and overstimulation

Learning to play Paradox Tinto’s intricate strategy game is tough without help, but mastering it is very rewarding. It’s a bit like the old saying about leadership – it requires constant, careful control. Europa Universalis 5 asks you to manage many different aspects of your empire, and each system is so detailed it could be a game on its own. Juggling everything at once is the real challenge.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Is One of My Favorite Movies But I Didn’t Love it ENOUGH (Until Now)

It was clear even without watching the original Universal Horror films that Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein was a tribute to them. I knew he insisted on shooting in black and white and even used props from the 1931 Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff. He and Gene Wilder deliberately modeled scenes and characters after that film, its follow-ups, and other horror movies of the time. I also knew Brooks worked hard to recreate the look and atmosphere of those classic films through his set design, costumes, and lighting, aiming for a similar visual style.

DISTURBING MASH-UP ALERT: WEDNESDAY’s Thing Is ONE PIECE’s Luffy for Halloween

This Wednesday/One Piece Halloween crossover is fantastic! Thing even painted its nails a copper color to match the theme and went searching for a pirate ship – we totally support it. Thing shared about its Luffy costume, saying, “what i lack in stretchiness i make up for in stitches.” That’s a clever way to put it! We’re relieved Thing didn’t eat a Devil Fruit – we wouldn’t want to see this hand gain stretching abilities. Overall, Thing nailed the Luffy look, complete with blue pants, a sash, and, of course, the iconic straw hat!

YouTube TV Pulls the Plug on All Disney-Owned Channels, Including ESPN and ABC

YouTube TV users will lose access to channels like ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel, and Freeform, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Haunting FRANKENSTEIN Final Trailer Is So Good It Give Us LIFE

Beyond its captivating story, this film is visually stunning.

If you’re interested in learning more about the creation of these visuals, especially the costumes worn by Mia Goth as Lady Elizabeth Harlander, we highly recommend checking out The Art and Making of Frankenstein artbook – you won’t be disappointed!

McDonald’s Halloween Tape Will Take You Back to the ’90s

Thanks to YouTube, classic Halloween sound recordings are being preserved by channels like The Ultimate Halloween Sounds Collection, which is wonderful. It’s charming to revisit these pieces of pop culture history, even though the artists behind most of them are now unknown. Today, similar recordings would probably be made using artificial intelligence, losing the human element. Perhaps these nostalgic sounds are best left in the past, but for those who grew up between the 1970s and the early 2000s, they’re sure to evoke fond Halloween memories.
