Games like NBA Jam, NFL Street, and SSX Tricky used to be incredibly popular – easy to pick up and play whenever you had a few minutes. We don’t see many games like that anymore.
Okay, so Nobody Wants This is back for a second season on Netflix, and as someone who enjoyed the first batch of episodes, I was curious to see what happened next with Noah and Joanne. For those who need a refresher, she’s an agnostic and he’s a rabbi, and a big part of their story revolves around whether she’ll embrace his faith. Season one was a real hit, critics and viewers alike loved it. But honestly? Season two isn’t quite hitting the same notes. It’s still at the top of the charts, but the reviews are much quieter, and I’m hearing from friends that fewer people are actually watching. The biggest indicator, though, is how the audience is feeling about it – and it seems like the spark from season one is missing.
Even when The Original Series wasn’t perfect, it remains memorable – even the most flawed episodes hold a certain charm. What makes the show so interesting is its unpredictable nature: it could be deeply thoughtful one week and hilariously bad the next. From awkward romances to bizarre storylines involving duplicates, the worst episodes are often enjoyable in a strange way, offering either a good laugh or a glimpse into the television of that era. While we might not excuse the actions of certain characters, we’ll always remember them.
What separates truly great long-running anime from those that fizzle out is a clear sense of purpose. Some shows chase popularity instead of a strong story, filling episodes with repetitive plots or unnecessary tangents, which ultimately weakens what made them appealing in the first place. But the best anime treat every moment with care. When each episode feels meaningful, even hundreds of episodes in, the show becomes more than just a weekly broadcast – it becomes an unforgettable journey.
The classic sci-fi hero Buck Rogers is getting a new adaptation, and it’s finally moving forward. After Legendary Pictures obtained the rights five years ago, they’ve hired Zeb Wells – known for his work on Deadpool & Wolverine and as an executive producer on Marvel Zombies – to write the screenplay.
Here is an overview of the game, via Arc System Works:
Nintendo’s lawsuit against the developers of the game Palworld, Pocketpair, recently hit a snag. According to WindowsCentral, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) rejected one of the patents Nintendo claimed was violated. The two companies have been in court since 2024, with Nintendo seeking around $33,000 in damages based on three patents. However, the JPO determined that one of those patents wasn’t innovative enough to be granted – meaning Nintendo couldn’t prove it was a unique invention at the time it was filed. The JPO pointed to similar games like ARK, Monster Hunter 4, and Pokémon GO as evidence.
Grimm is a television series that first aired on NBC on October 28, 2011, and ran for six seasons with a total of 123 episodes.

Since the Wano Country arc, One Piece has consistently delivered some of its best-animated episodes ever. Surprisingly, the animation quality continued to improve during the Egghead Incident arc. This allowed the anime to nearly catch up to the manga, leading to a six-month break mid-arc. Unfortunately, even that wasn’t enough to resolve ongoing production problems, and Toei Animation recently announced the series will now release only 26 episodes each year. Despite this significant change, the show’s pacing issues are expected to remain.
It will be available in the following editions:
