Fable’s Style of Comedy Was Influenced by Peep Show, The IT Crowd and The Office, Says Director

by

“We were inspired by the incredibly rich variety of British comedies that have been around over the last 20 years like ‘Peep Show,’ ‘The IT Crowd’ and so many others,” he said. “We started with ‘The Office’, which again started out as quintessentially British, but also travels really, really well. Not just that IP, but a lot of the techniques and the devices that it’s popularized, you know. It’s that really grounded, awkward style of humour which really appeals to us. And the actors who have been in a lot of these shows – and indeed some of whom are in our game – they’re known all over the world.”

First Nintendo Direct of 2026 Confirmed (But It’s Not What You’d Expect)

by

Nintendo of America just announced a Nintendo Direct presentation for January 25th. However, this Direct won’t focus on new Switch 2 games. It’s happening earlier than normal because it will be entirely dedicated to a special look at The Super Mario Bros. Movie. While it might be interesting for Mario fans, we’re still expecting a separate Direct later to reveal what Nintendo has planned for the rest of the year.

Being cruel to ChatGPT apparently manipulates the people-pleasing AI into giving more accurate responses — if you’re willing to use “uncivil discourse” with bots

by

I’ve been using tools like ChatGPT and Copilot lately, and while they’re getting much better, I’ve found they still sometimes give wrong answers. Because of this, it’s important to double-check anything they tell you. In fact, if you use ChatGPT, you might have seen the little note at the bottom of its responses – it basically admits it can make mistakes!

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct Set for January 25th

Okay, so the timing of this Direct is a little weird – they usually do these during the week, but that’s just Nintendo being Nintendo! What I’m really excited about is that the next movie will finally introduce Bowser Jr. and Rosalina. Apparently, Bowser Jr. is going to be a big problem this time around. And it sounds like Bowser himself might still be a threat, if he can get back to being his full, scary size!

The Highest-Rated Anime Episode of 2026 So Far Has Surpassed Frieren and Jujutsu Kaisen (Despite All Odds)

by

Despite all the buzz around this year’s most anticipated anime, neither of those shows has released an episode that’s become the highest-rated of 2026. That honor currently belongs to Fire Force, which recently launched the second part of its third season. The first episode of this new part, Fire Force Season 3 Episode 14, initially scored a 9.7 on IMDb and is currently rated at 9.5. This was unexpected, as the current season of Fire Force has faced some criticism, and few predicted such a strong episode.

Crisol: Theater of Idols Feels Haunted, Looks Stunning, And Has The Best FPS-Horror Tweak I’ve Seen In Years

by

Though it creates a consistently unsettling mood, Crisol: Theater of Idols is more than just a scary game. It blends moments of horror with hints of the divine, which can be even more disturbing. During a preview at Blumhouse Studios, ComicBook had a chance to play the game. Smart design choices and a focus on building atmosphere make it effective, but it’s the unfolding story that will truly captivate horror fans.
