The internet is full of horrors, but there's a unique grotesquery in the Youtube prankster. Desperate for followers, this reckless fool refuses to take anything seriously or consider anything sacred — except for their sponsorship deals. Inevitably, their quest to shock and awe audiences will go too far, drawing the attention of more than their fans. A wider world disgusted by their ruthless idea of humor could spark so-called cancellation, costing them access to monetized media platforms. Now, imagine such a clown tossed into a haunted house, where he might face a grim comeuppance. This is the mercilessly clever setup of the SXSW premiere Deadstream, a wickedly fun found-footage horror movie that offers scorching commentary on internet fame. In a frenzied opening, audiences are given a cra

October's Made by Google 2022 event marked the full launch of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Thanks to some credible leaks, we saw a lot of this coming, but now we know the lowdown on all of the phones' exciting new software features — like macro mode and Photo Unblur. Now that the Pixel 7 line is officially official, one question remains: How do the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro compare to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro?

Large, living legends dwell in the remote Alaskan wilderness. They're the internet-famous bears of Katmai National Park and Preserve, and they grow impressively fat over the summer on the livestreamed explore.org wildlife webcams. A majority of these bears — like the singular, persevering Otis — return to feast on calorie-rich salmon in the park's Brooks River each year. Katmai celebrates the success of these wild animals by hosting an annual Fat Bear Week contest in the early fall.In reality, every bear is a winner for surviving in the harsh northern wilderness. But the public (that means you) gets to vote online for the fattest bear in a light-hearted tournament. It's a superb way to learn about the fascinating lives of these animals, and how they thrive. After months of chomping salmon,

Ever since Chris Pratt was revealed to be voicing everyone's favorite video game plumber in The Super Mario Bros Movie, we've had one question on our minds: What in the world is he going to sound like?Now, with the release of the first trailer, we have our answer. Pratt's take on Mario sounds like... Chris Pratt. That's it, that's the truth. Sure, maybe there's a hint of an accent on his delivery of, "Mushroom Kingdom, here we come," but "It's-a me, Mario!" it is not. SEE ALSO: No thanks, Chris Pratt. The perfect 'Super Mario Bros.' movie already exists. The rest of the trailer features some Mario Easter eggs and pretty cool animation, including a look at Bowser's (voiced by Jack Black) forces taking on an army of penguins. There's al...

Google is saving terrible photographers (like me) from ourselves.I got to try out the new Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel Watch devices shortly after the Made By Google 2022 event. While there’s still a ton that I can’t judge about these new devices based on some brief testing with display units (like many of the Pixel 7 phones’ new AI features and all of the Pixel Watch’s health tracking features), the little bit I was able to try out left me hungry for more Pixel camera shenanigans.
