I first discovered Meat Boy way back on Newgrounds, a classic Flash game site. Then in 2010, Super Meat Boy officially launched and totally blew my mind – it really grabbed me and a lot of other hardcore platforming fans. The characters – Meat Boy, Band-Aid Girl, and even Dr. Fetus – switched things up with an autorunner style in Super Meat Boy Forever. But now, they’re taking their biggest leap yet with Super Meat Boy 3D coming out next year, and I can’t wait!

Let’s be honest, “retcons” – changes to established story details – often get a bad rap in the comic book world, and sometimes rightfully so! We all remember those changes that just didn’t work and upset a lot of fans – things like the “One More Day” Spider-Man storyline or the twist with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s parentage. But you know what? For every bad retcon, there are tons that actually improve a character’s history, and often we don’t even notice them! The really good ones just seamlessly become part of the story, accepted by everyone. That’s what I want to talk about today. I’m going to highlight seven of the best retcons Batman has had over his incredible eighty-six year run – changes that actually made the character even better.

It’s easy to get tired of the same Christmas movies every year. You can only watch films like A Christmas Story and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation so many times before they lose their appeal. So, here are four superhero movies that surprisingly make great choices for the holiday season.

Both Saros, a roguelite shooter from Housemarque, and the upcoming James Bond game from IO Interactive have recently had their release dates pushed back. Saros was delayed a few weeks, and now the Bond game is facing a delay as well.

Originally planned for a theatrical release in October 2026, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will now premiere exclusively on Paramount+. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this change is part of a larger strategy to make Paramount+ the primary platform for all future projects from Avatar Studios, including the upcoming series Avatar: Seven Havens. This news will likely disappoint fans who were looking forward to seeing the film in theaters.

Popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Path of Exile boast huge communities, and games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and DC Universe Online have also maintained a strong following. Sadly, many promising MMORPG projects have been cancelled over time, preventing players from ever experiencing them. Here’s a look at some of the most anticipated MMORPGs that were ultimately never released.

“The Night of the Meek,” a classic episode from Season 2 of the original Twilight Zone, unfolds on Christmas Eve. Art Carney plays Henry Corwin, a man who takes a job as a department store Santa. After a rough night and losing his job, Corwin finds something unexpected that could make his Christmas wish come true. Originally aired 65 years ago, the story was revisited by the 1980s Twilight Zone revival, but the 1960 version remains a beloved holiday tradition.

After years without a new James Bond game, IO Interactive is stepping in with 007 First Light, a fresh take that explores Bond’s early days. The game will reveal previously untold parts of his backstory with an original narrative, and actor Patrick Gibson will portray the iconic spy. Lenny Kravitz is also joining the cast as a villain. 007 First Light aims to combine the gameplay style of IO Interactive’s Hitman series with the thrilling action fans expect from James Bond. Originally planned for a March release, the game is now expected slightly later.

Here is the full message from IO Interactive on the delay:

The new Frasier series had some good qualities, but it wasn’t a big hit with viewers and was eventually cancelled. Luckily, the original series is still available on Paramount+, and it truly holds up over time. From heartwarming holiday episodes to classic moments with Frasier, Martin, Daphne, Niles, and Roz, you’re guaranteed a good laugh.
