Many legendary game developers are facing a critical moment right now. These studios were once known for amazing stories, groundbreaking ideas, and strong communities.

While Superman embodies classic heroism and Zatanna excels in magic, Barbara Gordon, as Oracle, provided an irreplaceable and unexpectedly important service. She used to be the central hub connecting the entire superhero world, a role no one else could replicate. Although the New 52 reboot changed things, and she hasn’t fully regained that level of influence after all this time, she deserves to, and much more than that.
Sylvester Stallone has been discussing his role in the show Tulsa King, but he’s also been frequently asked about his famous mentor character, Rocky Balboa, who now owns a restaurant in Philadelphia.

A now-famous tradition started with Season 2 of The Simpsons: the yearly “Treehouse of Horror” Halloween episode. Since the show’s first season began airing so late in the year, it missed the chance to celebrate Halloween. But when the series moved to a regular fall schedule, it kicked off this tradition with the first “Treehouse of Horror” episode on October 25, 1990. Introduced by Marge, the episode took inspiration from EC Comics and was presented as spooky stories told by Lisa and Bart in their treehouse. It established the three-segment format still used today, with stories like “Bad Dream House,” “Hungry be the Damned,” and “The Raven.”
