Street Fighter has one of the most challenging jobs of any franchise in video games. As the flagship series in the world of fighting games, Street Fighter has amassed decades of hardcore fans obsessed with inspecting the granular levels of the game's engine.

Sadly, 343 somehow named the trinket something really racist. Cracked: 343 had the cool idea of beginning Juneteenth celebrations ahead of everyone, too bad they seemingly rushed it… READ THE REST

Having a pair of reliable headphones has become as essential as having your phone, wallet, and keys when leaving the house. However, not all wireless headphones are created equal. Some don't have the goods to deliver high-quality audio, and others can end up costing you hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, there is a perfect solution that bridges this… READ THE REST

At this point, most people have no problem with a grown adult enjoying cannabis. It's 2022, not 1992. That being said, if you're a grown adult enjoying cannabis in 2022, it's probably time to ditch the goofy bongs that make you look like a cliché. If you're ready for something more grown-up and sophisticated, you… READ THE REST
