Remember the conspiracy theories about the Bermuda Triangle? Plenty of ‘reports,’ sprang up about how planes tend to disappear in that area, compasses fail to work, and ships mysteriously sink there. There was also one famous story about a plane that time traveled after passing through dense fog in the skies above the Bermuda Triangle. The first episode of Manifest will remind you of that story. A plane carrying several passengers disappears, and then it is seen again after five years. That story has finally ended after years and seasons of twists and turns. As such, the major questions now…

Who doesn’t love watching or listening to murder mystery stories? The thrill and suspense keep the audience on their toes and makes them guess about the killer. But before Murder, podcasts became all the rage, there was NBC’s Dateline. It reported heart-wrenching true crime tales.

The episode titled ‘Secrets in the Ozarks’ depicted a 2004 fall murder of a 22-year-old woman called Rebekah Christian Gould by a stranger. She was…

Open-world games mean unlimited exploration and going on adventures. Diablo 4 is similar. The sanctuary is vast and full of surprises, the praises of which have been sung on social media platforms. However, it’s time-consuming to traverse the whole map without a mount. Also, having a horse means you can get to doing what you love the most- killing as many enemies as possible. Thankfully, Diablo 4 gives all classes the ability to get a mount. But getting a horse isn’t a piece of cake. Players need to clear the prologue and slog through three levels at least to get…

In today’s day and age, the adulation, prestige, and fame that a star gets are unparalleled. As such, it often makes one wonder if the actual person/ personality residing within the public persona ever gets diminished while constantly catering to fans or avoiding stalkers.

The film follows J-idol Mima Kirigoe, who has an envy-worthy fan following but is trying to change career lanes and become an actor. So she quits being a singer and takes up an acting job…

For a long time, One Piece anime fans have been waiting to see Luffy upgrade to Gear 5, and it looks like their wait is almost over.

Who is Asta’s daddy? That’s the one eternal question that has reigned over the Black Clover fandom. With the final manga arc currently going on, the biggest question regarding the story has reared its head again. Asta began his story as a peasant boy abandoned at the Hage Church. He wanted to be the Wizard King, but since he was born without any magical powers, that goal was neigh impossible.

Choosing an ice cream flavor is probably easier than selecting a Diablo class. But with Diablo 4 arriving soon, it’s time to decide which type to play in Blizzard’s hack-and-slash game. The latest installment of the popular ARPG offers five classes, each offering unique capabilities, strengths, mechanics, and weaknesses. Every game maker ideally wants to ensure that the classes offered are all on the same level. Otherwise, players generally become heavily biased towards one type. However, that’s easier said than done. As a result, even in Diablo 4, some tribes are stronger than others, although not by much. Also, the…

Sports, melodrama, and heartfelt emotions- these three words best describe the Apple TV show that took the world by storm with a title character who is the poster guy of feel-good and wholesome.
