PlayStation has been releasing many of its popular games on PC, usually a year or two after they first appear on PlayStation consoles. This strategy likely aims to attract PC gamers and encourage them to buy a PlayStation to play future games or sequels as soon as they’re released. One of the standout PlayStation titles is Death Stranding 2. The latest game from Hideo Kojima improves upon the original with more action and a compelling story. It’s an excellent game, and it looks like even more people will have the chance to experience it soon.
I just finished reading Barry Hertz’s book about the Fast & Furious saga, Welcome To the Family, and it blew my mind! Apparently, the original plan for Furious 7 wasn’t what we saw in theaters. They were actually going to have Dom, Brian, and the whole team destroy God’s Eye completely, rather than just give it to the authorities. It would have been a much more definitive ending for that chapter, but it would have also meant a totally different path for the franchise moving forward!
Several figures were particularly popular, including Retro Rhea Ripley and Paul Heyman.

Mark Wahlberg played a full-fledged villain for the first time since 1996’s Fear in the action thriller Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson. Despite a disappointing box office run – earning only $48 million worldwide – the film began streaming on HBO Max on November 26th. Wahlberg fully embraced the role of the deceptive pilot, going so far as to shave his head rather than use a bald cap to convincingly portray the character’s unhinged appearance. The story centers on a flight transporting an air marshal and a fugitive, where the true identities and motives of everyone on board are uncertain.
The upcoming anime will feature the long-awaited battle between Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori, as well as introduce a well-known villain. Koji Yusa, famous for his roles as Gin Ichimaru in Bleach and Stanley in Dr. Stone, will voice Naoya Zenin. Though a divisive character, Naoya is a fan favorite from the manga, and his anime appearance has already increased his popularity. He’s a member of the Zenin Clan and will be a key antagonist in the new season.
As a longtime Marvel fan, it’s always tough when a hero falls. This list details those characters who’ve died in the comics and, as of right now, haven’t come back – from a tragic loss during the Civil War to some of the most memorable deaths in Marvel history.
Most of these films consistently deliver exciting action scenes. While some haven’t aged as well, it’s important to remember James Gunn wasn’t the first to showcase Superman in thrilling fights or rescues.
Things have changed quickly! A Far Cry TV show is officially in the works, and it’s a strong indication that the franchise is thriving and preparing for a significant expansion. These kinds of projects rarely happen by chance. When a publisher approves a TV show, it usually means they’re also planning to invest more in the games themselves – that’s a well-known trend. With the TV series confirmed, it feels increasingly likely that a new Far Cry game – Far Cry 7 – is on the horizon.
Bong Joon Ho, the director of the Oscar-winning film Parasite, recently released his newest movie, Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson. While it didn’t perform well in theaters, it’s now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, starting November 26th. Based on Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel Mickey7, the sci-fi film features Pattinson as Mickey 17, a clone repeatedly created as part of a dangerous mission to colonize the frozen planet Niflheim. These clones are considered expendable, meaning they are disposable and replaced each time one dies.
