2025 had a surprising number of excellent, but overlooked, RPGs – so many that it’s easy to have missed some. Luckily, one of those games is gaining popularity again, and I think it deserves the attention. That’s why I highly recommend Avowed, the fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, to everyone. Especially since 2026 hasn’t offered many strong RPGs yet, it’s a great time to appreciate everything Avowed does well.
The second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is when the show really hit its stride, largely thanks to the dramatic change in the character of Angel, who became the villainous Angelus. He’s considered one of the show’s best villains, and the latter part of the season focuses on his cruel manipulation of Buffy. This culminates in Episode 17, “Passion,” where his psychological torment of her reaches a devastating peak with the shocking death of Jenny Calendar.
Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman recently discussed the future of their Spider-Man movies on the podcast The Town.

After ten seasons, Stranger Things has concluded with a dramatic, though somewhat controversial, final season. However, the story isn’t over! A new series, Tales from ’85, will revisit the world of Hawkins and its beloved characters.

Okay, so the trailer showed this crazy scene after a fight – wreckage and pieces of a squad floating in the water. Then, these enemy robots show up, and our guy, the Rook, just drops down and starts scavenging through the debris. But get this – one of the wrecked bots, a Destroyer, was still alive! The Rook had to blast it, which of course, alerted the other robots. It looks like our guy had to bail, maybe to come back and loot again later.
As The Boys has developed, it’s made significant changes to its own rules and how things look on screen. For instance, the character Stormfront, originally a Nazi villain in the comics, was reimagined as a modern extremist played by Aya Cash, and Madelyn Stillwell was turned into a more complex, manipulative mother figure. The show also created entirely new storylines, like Becca Butcher surviving and the introduction of her son, Ryan. A major shift occurred when the show stopped the main characters from routinely using Compound V, making them vulnerable outlaws instead of government-backed superheroes. Despite these changes, the core personalities of the show’s main characters have stayed surprisingly true to their original form.
