There’s one specific memory from A League of Their Own that actor Lori Petty carries with her. Every night, co-star Tom Hanks would move his trailer onto the outfield grass of Wrigley Field in Chicago, the site of the film’s tryout scene, and park it in front of the historic ballpark’s famed ivy wall.

Dark Souls is easily one of the important video games released in the modern era. The game single-handedly proved a solid and decisive point that most gaming studios at the time were failing to understand — that there was definitely a viable market for hardcore AAA video games that wouldn’t hold a player’s hand at every step of the way and actually treated them like rational adults.
