The World Series Game last night was the longest game in World Series history lasting until the 18th inning before the Dodger’s Max Muncy ended it with a home run. When a game goes that long, it gives fans plenty of time to comment via Twitter on the historic game. Apparently, with the game going basically forever, it brought out the Twitterverse’s ‘A’ game. Here are a few examples.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9160″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] After many delays and pain-staking work by the teams at Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption 2 is out and it has been widely praised by critics and fans alike.

GamingBolt industry analyst Michael Pachter predicted the sales outcome of Red Dead Redemption 2. According to the analyst: I expect it to sell 15 million at least, possibly 17 million by the…

Business Insider is claiming to have information on statistics that perhaps explains Netflix’s reasoning for cancelling Luke Cage and Iron Fist and why it is possible even more shows could be about to get the axe based on these statistics.…
As pretty much anyone and everyone knows, Josh Brolin played the role of Thanos in a Mo-Cap suit for Avengers Infinity War. They also know that Thanos made a number of cameos in other movies in the MCU.

You can forgive Jamie Lee Curtis if she takes a small victory lap today. As the the original “scream queen,” she took on the Shape in the original Halloween. In that film (her first) she was paid $8,000 for her role as Laurie Strode and the indie film cost roughly $325,000 to make. Fast forward to the present and the newest incarnation of Halloween pulled in a tidy $77.5 million in its opening. This is the second-biggest October opening weekend, just behind Sony’s Venom, which set the mark just weeks ago at $80.2 million. Not one to toot her own horn, Curtis decided…
