Paramount

There are a handful of details Parmount’s third Sonic feature needs to get right in order for it to feel like a proper adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, and the movie’s latest trailer makes it look like it has the Chao Garden (arguably the best part of the game) on lock.

Though it features a few more shots of the Robotniks (Jim Carey) and Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves) plotting to obliterate the earth, the highlight of Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s new trailer are its new...

Aaron Rodgers should go full Brett Favre and sign with the Vikings

Photo by Rob Tringali/SportsChrome/Getty Images

It’s time for a little bit of history repeating.

Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are destined to break up, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. The organization went all-in on building a team designed to cater to Rodgers, hoping a tailor-made offense and already stout defense could bring them the quick-hit Super Bowl the organization coveted, making them a new version of the Buccaneers or Rams.

SilverStone’s new FLP01 PC case looks it was created in a time when desktop computers had turbo buttons and bragging rights were earned by having a Pentium chip inside. In reality, the retro beige box is launching next year for all your modern PC-building needs, doubling as a stand for a monitor that’s probably not a 30-pound CRT.

Barkley set records for the Eagles on Sunday night, and there’s more coming up.

Saquon Barkley just had one of the best games from an offensive player in NFL history.

Against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night Barkley absolutely went off, running around, by, and through the Rams defense to the tune of 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns. When you add in the 47 receiving yards Barkley added in the passing game, it all added up to 302 yards from...

How to watch a baby

Parenthood is abrupt and total.

When I went to the hospital, I understood that I’d be sent home with a vulnerable being who would require constant care, but it was impossible to prepare for what that actually felt like.

I’d loved being in the maternity ward, a leisurely four nights thanks to a C-section and a few complications, where I was surrounded by perky and competent nurses who took care of me and my baby, checking my bandages and bringing me ice...
