A unique new event in Japan will give 15 randomly selected fans the chance to ‘marry’ a character from the popular Yakuza (Like a Dragon) video game series.

Here is an overview of the game, via The Sledding Corporation:

I was reading an interview with Jesse Eisenberg over at ComicBook, and he was talking about Zombieland 3. He said he’d totally be up for doing another one! He pointed out that it’s been about ten years since the last Zombieland movie, and only three years before that. He seems to think we’ll probably see more Now You See Me films before another Zombieland, but he’s definitely interested in revisiting it eventually.

Often, The Walking Dead eliminates characters when their storyline feels complete. A good example is Sasha Williams, a long-time member of Rick Grimes’ group who tragically becomes a walker after confronting Negan, and is ultimately killed by her friends. However, Sasha isn’t alone; other characters meet a similar end after the show resolves their individual story arcs.

Over time, Marvel Comics has created some truly frightening Spider-Man stories. These tales often place him in incredibly scary scenarios, and sometimes even show him losing himself and transforming into a monstrous being.

The Energon Universe started quietly with the comic Void Rivals, which surprisingly introduced a Transformer character. Since then, both the Transformers and G.I. Joe have launched several series centered around their iconic characters. G.I. Joe’s stories have reimagined classic figures like Duke and Cobra Commander, while the Transformers series has largely focused on expanding the lore of the Autobots and Decepticons. These stories are geared towards a more mature audience and benefit from strong writing and detailed worldbuilding, making them well-suited for animation.

The choice to only offer Duos and Squads at the game’s launch, and not include a solo queue, is puzzling. It makes you wonder about the game’s overall design and how it caters to different types of players. Why leave out those who prefer to play alone? Electronic Arts and DICE haven’t said if solo play will be added later, and players – including myself – are voicing their disappointment.

Starting November 1st, you can watch the crime thriller The Town on HBO Max. Released in 2010, the movie is based on the novel Prince of Thieves and was written, directed, and starred Ben Affleck. He plays Doug MacRay, a seasoned bank robber from Boston who develops feelings for a woman who was affected by one of his heists. The film received excellent reviews, earned $154 million globally, and was named one of the best movies of 2010 by the National Board of Review.

Following the huge success of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle film earlier this year, the new Chainsaw Man movie is also proving to be very popular.

While a specific start date hasn’t been revealed, the closed alpha test will let players control four characters: Aang, Korra, Katara, and Zuko.
