There are few games that have had the emotional resonance of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Not only did 2011’s open world RPG opus light the world on fire with its intoxicatingly addictive freedom, exploration and role playing, but it also proliferated a slew of memorable memes and introduced an entire generation to its accessible and meticulously designed power fantasy.
“Welcome Home” were the words Bethesda used to market their last RPG Fallout 4, and it’s somewhat poignant to think that these words would’ve been even more fitting for this year’s remaster of Skyrim, dubbed Skyrim: Special Edition. For many of us this really will feel like returning home — its familiar embrace is akin to homely comfort food of the highest, most delectable order.
Chronologically, Skyrim takes place two hundred years after the events of Oblivion. The story brings into sharp focus the aftermath of a...

Love comes and goes, but belting is forever. In honor of Valentine’s Day, here are eight musical theater songs (in no particular order) that will certainly break your heart in two. These tunes are best enjoyed while treating yourself to tons of chocolate, but can also double as excellent audition songs to flaunt your emotional range! “Still Hurting” from “The Last Five Years”This is arguably the most heartbreaking musical opening number of all time. Below, Lea Salonga sings this rendition impeccably, and we can all relate to the person at 1:27 who murmurs, “Nice.” “My Man” from “Funny Girl”An ultimate be-all and end-all of musical theater—yet never performed in a Broadway production. This show-stopper was made famous by the classic film version of “Funny Girl,” and no one can do it better than Barbra Streisand. “Another Life” from “Bridges of Madison County”Whitney Bashor’s angelic...

Inside Out is a great movie. I love the way it describes the workings of the brain in a way they think a kid would describe it. The movie starts off with a backstory on part of the life of Riley. Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias) is used to living in Minnesota, but when her parents decide to move the family to San Francisco, her emotions are conflicted.
Five characters represent Riley’s emotions: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Fear. They all have different plans, Anger (voiced by Lewis Black) wants to get mad at everything, Fear (voiced by Bill Hader) wants to be cautious – but Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler) is the main emotion and keeps them all in check. The problem is that Joy does not understand why the character Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith) is there or the point of sadness. This misunderstanding gets Riley in a lot of trouble.

Believe it or not, there's an actual interview behind Kim Kardashian's internet-breaking, bare booty cover of Paper magazine! In the latest issue of the mag, the 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star gets very candid, especially when it comes to her 72-day marriage to ex-hubby Kris Humphries. When asked about the very short-lived romance, Kim admitted, "It's just one of those life lessons that you have to learn, and it's Ok." Another life lesson that Kim has learned and come to terms with is the fact that she'll never be free of constant heckling from the paparazzi. "Literally every single day there's about ten cars of paparazzi literally waiting outside our...

Quick service restaurant chain Nando’s has launched a new TV campaign that shows a little boy eating chicken and ends with the line, ‘Another life-long Nando’s fan is born’.
Andrew Varasdi, the managing partner of Nando’s agency Banjo Advertising, told Mumbrella that the campaign does not flout rules on fast food advertising, since the chicken featured in the ad is grilled.
“Nando’s doesn’t have the same issues as a fried chicken product,” he said.
A spokesperson from the Advertising Standards Bureau told Mumbrella that the ad had received no complaints, and added “there appears to be a good mix of food choices shown in the advertisement”.
Nando’s was unavailable for comment.
The campaign comes a few weeks after Nando’s launched a TV ad around MasterChef that introduced the slogan ‘Eat interesting’.
Banjo won the Nando’s business earlier this year.

Awful film adaptations follow authors for the rest of their lives but Lynne Ramsay's version of my book We Need To Talk About Kevin is terrific
In grad school, I took a workshop with Scott Spencer, whose excellent novel Endless Love had just been turned into a film. We students were in awe of his prestige. Yet Scott himself was chagrined; for good reason, he hated the movie. Fair enough, with its proceeds he'd been able to buy a ranch in upper New York State. But I wonder if it was worth it. Though a fine writer, Scott Spencer will forever be associated with a cheesy, sentimental film starring the vapid box-office draw Brooke Shields.
So, back in April, I approached my first screening of Lynne Ramsay's adaptation of We Need to Talk About Kevin with trepidation. My agent had warned that, while a fine film would do...
