The Fallout event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has a set a precedent — and leaves last year’s shenanigans a distant memory

As an analyst, I’ve been following the launch of Black Ops 7’s first collaboration, and I have to say, it’s a significant improvement over last year’s attempts. A big part of that is the choice of Fallout as the partner franchise – it’s a well-respected and beloved property, and honestly, one I personally enjoy a lot.

Paradise Has A Rare 100% RT Episode That Shows How Flashbacks Are Done

Sterling K. Brown worked again with creator Dan Fogelman in the series Paradise, playing Secret Service agent Xavier Collins. The show follows Collins as he continues to protect President Cal Bradford (played by James Marsden) three years after a global catastrophe. While the series is very good overall, the seventh episode of Paradise was particularly outstanding, mainly due to a flashback that dramatically shifted the story.

62 Years Ago Today, an Important Marvel Character Made Their Debut (The MCU Is Totally Different Without Them)

Sixty-two years ago, the comic book debut of Black Widow, a character who would become a pop culture icon, was quite different from her portrayal in the movies. In Tales of Suspense #52, created by Stan Lee, Don Rico, and Don Heck, she was introduced as a Soviet spy within an Iron Man story—but initially as an enemy, not an ally. These early comic book appearances set Black Widow on a very different path than what movie fans know, ultimately leading her to fame.

24 Years Ago Today, Friends’ Most Divisive Story Started (& a Key Character Completely Disappeared)

As a critic, I’ve seen a lot of fan complaints over the years, and the storyline of Joey and Rachel hooking up consistently ranks near the top of the list of things Friends fans disliked. It felt like a real departure from the central Ross and Rachel romance, especially since it started brewing in Season 8 with the episode “The One Where Joey Dates Rachel.” It began innocently enough – a fake date to cheer Rachel up while she was dealing with her pregnancy, complete with a playful attempt at impressing each other. But it ended with Joey admitting he’d caught feelings, and surprisingly, Rachel felt the same way a season later. It just never quite landed with many viewers, myself included.

Fire Emblem Fans Cannot Miss This Viking Game Next Month

Launching on February 3rd for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, Norse: Oath of Blood is a game that should appeal to fans of Fire Emblem. It blends strategic turn-based combat with unit management and city building, all within a compelling story where your choices matter. As a Fire Emblem enthusiast, I’ve been hoping for a game with a more impactful narrative – something the series hasn’t consistently offered since Fire Emblem: Three Houses – and Norse: Oath of Blood appears to be exactly that.
