The 13 Best It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Episodes

FX’s It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia just entered its 13th season, and over the years, the gang has done some incredible and despicable things. From exploiting the gas crisis, to getting drunk on planes, to putting on a rock opera that’s just a marriage proposal ploy, the show contains some hilarious and truly memorable episodes.

The show follows the owners–and employee–of Paddy’s Pub in Philadelphia: Ronald “Mac” McDonald, Dee Reynolds, Dennis Reynolds, Frank Reynolds, and Charlie Kelly. Together, this group of friends is toxic and ruins the lives of everyone around them through malicious schemes and plots to try and make themselves seem like better people.

In honor of the show’s 13th season, the folks at GameSpot came together to debate which episodes are the best. Obviously, this is no easy task because so many of these episodes are amazing.

After plenty of debate, looking at every scheme, every violent encounter, and every hilarious moment, we figured out the best 13 episodes from the series. Let us know what your favorite episodes are in the comment section below.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia currently airs Wednesdays at 10 PM on FXX.

PlayStation Classic: 14 PS1 Games We Want To See On The Mini Console

Sony has announced that the company is taking a page out of Nintendo’s book and producing a mini version of an old console that plays classic games. Called PlayStation Classic, the console comes preloaded with 20 different PS1 games. Sony has already announced five of them, but the remaining 15 are still a mystery.

We’ve got our own ideas as to what should be included on the PlayStation Classic. In the following gallery, we’ve laid out our choices for 14 games that we hope make it onto Sony’s upcoming console. We’ve left one spot open, so let us know in the comments below which PlayStation game should fill out that final slot and why it deserves to be there.

The PlayStation Classic costs $100 / $130 CAN and will release on December 3, exactly 24 years after the original console launched in Japan. You can pre-order it right now. Currently, only Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms have been confirmed for the Playstation Classic.

First releasing in Japan in 1994, the original PlayStation spread across the world in 1995. For the following four years, hundreds of different games arrived on the console. The PlayStation would ultimately be superseded by the much more popular PlayStation 2 in 1999, but Sony’s original console set the stage for some of gaming’s longest running franchises and gave the Nintendo 64 some healthy competition.

Devil May Cry 5: How a Motorbike Chainsaw Sword Holds the Key to Tradition

Here’s Devil May Cry 5’s in-game description of the Cavaliere, an actual weapon Dante is able to wield.

(I haven’t made this up.)

“Cavaliere – a motorcycle fused with a demon that splits in two to be wielded as twin swords.”

When equipped, Dante dons two motorbike chassis as if they were chrome boxing gloves. While the description above may say sword, chainsaw is far more accurate. As a combo escalates, the two halves fuse together to form a rideable bike, allowing Dante to power-slide his way through demons. It’s gloriously absurd, as you’d imagine, and stupidly fun to use.

But there’s more to the Cavaliere than you might think. Behind its ostentatious design lies the essence of how Capcom is navigating its return to the series (the last instalment was produced in 2013 by British studio Ninja Theory) and particularly the character of Dante.

Julia Roberts’ Homecoming Could Be Amazon’s Best Show Yet

This is an early review of Amazon’s new scripted drama Homecoming out of the Toronto International Film Festival. The series premieres November 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

At first glance, Homecoming, Amazon Prime Video’s newest series based on a popular podcast of the same name (created by Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg, who adapt their story for the screen here), may seem familiar to fans of Mr. Robot, which redefined the way one frames a scene for traditional television. Yet executive producer/director Sam Esmail not only knows how to make a mystery thriller look good, he knows exactly how to keep you on your toes and demanding more of the story.

Here, Esmail returns to confuse and intrigue audiences with another conspiracy thriller, this time leaning heavily into noir and Hitchcock to tell the story of Homecoming. We follow Heidi Bergman (Julia Roberts), a caseworker in a shady military reintegration facility that sells itself as a help center which prepares veterans for their return to civilian life. Bergman seems to be genuinely interested in helping her patients, instead of just using them as lab rats that can be mined for data on their trauma. She is especially interested in newcomer Walter Cruz (Stephan James), a soldier who’s on the verge of a breakdown as his compatriots’ paranoia starts getting to him, and the secrets of the eerie help center may threaten their very lives.

Solo Writer Takes Us Behind-The-Scenes On The Star Wars Spin-Off

Solo: A Star Wars Story is now available buy on digital formats, giving fans a second chance to dig into the latest movie in the much-loved franchise. The movie didn’t have the smoothest ride to the screen, with original directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord fired during production and veteran filmmaker Ron Howard brought in to take over and reshoot a reported 70% of the entire movie. Solo made its May release slot this year but underperformed at the box office, putting a sequel and further standalone Star Wars spin-offs in doubt.

Nevertheless, it’s a hugely entertaining movie well worth a revisit at home. The film, which focuses on the adventures of the young Han Solo, was written by Star Wars veteran Lawrence Kasdan with his son Jon. Last week, Jon took to Twitter to release a lengthy list of behind-the-scene observations and opinions about the film, which makes for fascinating reading as you watch it.

Kasdan goes into detail about the many influences that he and the other filmmakers used for Solo, the film’s many Easter Eggs, and how the new characters were developed. He explains what changed from earlier drafts of the script and what scenes were shot but ended up on the cutting room floor. He also reveals that, despite the reshoots, the influence of Lord and Miller was greater than many fans might expect, with several key moments remaining from their time on the movie. Finally, Kasdan speculates on the future of the younger incarnations of Han, Chewie, and Lando, and if we’ll get to see them in another movie. So here’s our pick of Kasdan’s most fascinating insights into the making of Solo, presented in chronological order and in his own words.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy Coming to Consoles and Steam

The original three Ace Attorney games are coming to the Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam in a single compilation.

The trilogy of Ace Attorney games was announced during the Ace Attorney panel during the Tokyo Game Show and will include updated HD visuals. The trilogy was originally released on 3DS back in 2014.

The compilation includes the original game, Justice for All, and Trials and Tribulations. Expect to see the trilogy launch in early 2019.

Capcom also previewed the second season of the Ace Attorney anime with stories focusing on cases from the third game. The Ace Attorney Orchestra was also confirmed to return in 2019.

Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice was released back in 2016 and in our review we thought it was a “less than essential entry in the Phoenix Wright saga.”

Completely New, Un-Catchable Pokemon Begins to Appear in Pokemon Go

A brand new, never-before-seen Pokemon has started to appear in Pokemon Go but can’t actually be registered to the Pokedex.

The mysterious new Pokemon, which was found by a dataminer yesterday, began to appear in the Asia Pacific region following the conclusion of Chikorita Community Day, a three-hour event that saw increased spawns of second generation Pokemon Chikorita.

After Chikorita spawns concluded, many players saw the mysterious new Pokemon appear on the “nearby” radar, but after encountering the Pokemon and attempting to catch it, the Pokemon immediately transformed into Ditto or Chikorita and did not actually register to the Pokedex as seen or caught.
