As a huge Mariah Carey fan, I was absolutely living for her Halloween look this year! She really cemented her status as the Queen of everything, even spooky season, with this adorable, Japanese Kawaii-inspired costume. And it was even sweeter seeing her kids, Monroe and Moroccan, join in the fun with her! It’s so lovely to see them all enjoying Halloween together.
Ryan Seacrest reminisced about the precious final moments he spent with his father, Gary Lee Seacrest, before he passed away. He recalled the last conversation he had with his father, alongside his mother, Constance Marie Zullinger, his sister, Meredith Seacrest, and her husband, Jimmy Leach.
For the first time, Football Manager 26 is built using the Unity engine, bringing a completely revamped matchday experience to the series. While previous Football Manager games have always prioritized in-depth management and tactics, FM 26 significantly improves how matches look and feel. Expect exciting new camera angles and cutscenes, more detailed stadiums and crowds, and, most importantly, much more realistic player movements and ball physics, making games far more enjoyable to watch.
While not entirely groundbreaking, Battlefield: RedSec – EA’s new free-to-play battle royale – certainly delivers a spectacle. Following Firestorm, the series’ first attempt at the genre, RedSec offers visually impressive moments, like dozens of helicopters descending over the ravaged environment, complete with realistic radio chatter. The “Circle of Death,” a closing wave of explosions, also adds genuine tension and danger as players try to avoid being caught within it.
A new anime image shows characters Maomao and Jinshi dressed as Shinigami, or death gods, for a Halloween special. Death gods are a common figure in anime, appearing in series like Bleach, Death Note, Death Parade, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Black Butler. While it’s unlikely the upcoming third season and movie of The Apothecary Diaries will focus on supernatural themes, Maomao and Jinshi definitely look great in the costumes! See the fun Halloween artwork below.
Past Marvel Cinematic Universe films suggest the Multiverse Saga will end with a huge, thrilling climax. The previous major storyline, the Infinity Saga, concluded with the unforgettable and devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, where many heroes perished. While Avengers: Doomsday probably won’t have quite as many deaths, it seems likely someone important will die as this final saga begins, and several characters are already considered to be at risk.
The current issue with the Pirates of the Caribbean series isn’t that people have stopped caring—it’s that the films lack a clear vision. It’s easy to forget that the franchise began as a risky idea: adapting a theme park attraction into a grand pirate adventure. Surprisingly, it worked, and the movies essentially created a new style of action-fantasy in the 2000s. The first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, perfectly blended comedy, excitement, and captivating characters, instantly winning over audiences and launching Johnny Depp into icon status. However, after twenty years, what was once innovative and surprising now feels cautious. Disney seems to have lost its touch, and it’s unclear why the series has been stalled for so long.
Maxwell Lord started as a well-intentioned, practical man who genuinely wanted to help the Justice League in 1987. However, he’s since become a villain often focused on eliminating metahumans and even working with Darkseid. He recently had a small role in the Superman movie, backing the Justice Gang, and is expected to appear more in future DC projects. To make the most of the character, the DC Universe should stick with Lord’s heroic roots, as that’s when he’s both most effective and most compelling.
Nintendo recently updated Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of classic Mario games originally released for the Nintendo Switch in 2020. This compilation included remastered versions of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. However, Nintendo made the unusual decision to remove the game from both the eShop and physical stores in March 2021. This was because Super Mario 3D All-Stars was created as a limited-time release to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario franchise, and Nintendo intended for it to be available only during that period.
I say this from experience – I used to be unfamiliar with them, and while I’m no expert, I’ve learned how to use them effectively. They aren’t simply tools for causing damage.
