One standout episode so far has been Season 1, Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, titled “Seven.” It was a particularly strong showing, highlighted by Ser Duncan the Tall’s powerful speech about the lack of honorable knights, and the introduction of the two teams preparing for a trial by combat, with Baelor Targaryen aligning with Dunk. The episode felt like true cinematic television – deserving of the Martin Scorsese meme – but it did omit one important scene from the original book.

Alex Paknadel wrote this issue, and he does a solid job. He previously honed his skills with the X-Men on Marvel Unlimited and in the Sentinels series, demonstrating a knack for writing many X-Men characters. He’s taking over a challenging role, as even critics of MacKay’s X-Men run acknowledge his strong portrayal of Cyclops. This first issue shows Paknadel clearly understands the character. It starts with a standalone X-Men adventure – similar to the recent Rogue #1 – where the hero uses both leadership and fighting skills to save the day. It’s an enjoyable way to begin this new series.

Besides her other work, she’s also the voice of Gon in Hunter x Hunter and Mr. Beast in the English dubs of his videos. While she hasn’t appeared in the show yet, the popular Jujutsu Kaisen fan account @Go_Jover announced she’ll be voicing Hanyu. They also shared that Eiji Takemoto, a well-known voice actor who has played characters like Drake in One Piece, Miles in Ace Attorney, and Uvogin in Hunter x Hunter, will voice Hanyu’s partner, Haba.

Today marks the 19th anniversary of the first episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, which originally aired on February 11, 2007. The show quickly established the duo’s unique and unusual brand of comedy, expanding on their earlier work, Tom Goes to the Mayor. This premiere also introduced audiences to a now-iconic character: Dr. Steve Brule, played by John C. Reilly. Even with limited screen time in this first episode, Reilly’s performance was instantly memorable and hinted at the character’s future success.

Pokémon Pokopia is a new game created by The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Koei Tecmo Games. It’s launching on March 5th and will be the first Pokémon title available exclusively on the Switch 2. I recently had the chance to play it for about 40 minutes during a preview event. I tested out character creation, the beginning of the single-player game, and the multiplayer features. While I only experienced a small part of the game, I’m already excited about this relaxed and charming spin-off. It looks like Pokémon Pokopia will offer a lot of what you’d expect from a life simulation game, but with a Pokémon theme.

Okay, so as a Nintendo fan, I have to say the Virtual Boy is… rough. Most of us agree it’s easily the worst console Nintendo ever made, and even they probably admit it! It feels like development got rushed because they were already working on the Nintendo 64. They only released 22 games for it before giving up. The idea – 3D graphics – sounded amazing, but playing it was a totally different story. It actually gave people headaches, eye strain, and made them feel dizzy! No one wants that from a gaming system. It was a huge flop, only lasted a year, and sold just 770,000 units. It’s not just the worst, it’s also the lowest-selling Nintendo console ever. Thankfully, Nintendo did recently re-release its games online, and even came out with a new accessory to play them with!

The popular sci-fi game receives a new update today, February 11th, 2026, on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This update includes a cool new tool and lots of other additions.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

According to Josef Söderlund, the blend of cooperative PvE and competitive PvP that makes ARC Raiders special happened somewhat by chance. He explained that while they aimed for a great game, the emergent gameplay – the things players are doing within the sandbox environment – wasn’t entirely planned. He admits it’s rewarding for the development team to see how players are interacting with the game and creating unique experiences, even if those experiences weren’t specifically intended.

Step into a terrifying new installment of the classic horror series. In Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, you’ll experience intense, first-person survival horror as Aidan.
