That initial excitement has become tempered with caution. When you release something new, the focus shifts from what it is to how it will actually work. Will it glitch during simple tasks, like when using the camera? Will its grand goals overwhelm it? Will it need immediate fixes to feel finished? We still care about performance, but it’s become more forgiving—something that can be adjusted, explained, or cleverly hidden if necessary to make it seem complete.

These examples stood out because they were genuinely funny, often in a delightfully strange or unexpected way, and that’s why people enjoyed them.

For comic book fans who collected in the 90s, the Marvel Masterpieces trading cards are iconic. A nearly complete 1992 set of SkyBox Marvel Masterpieces is currently up for auction, and amazingly, every card has received a perfect PSA Gem Mint 10 grade. It’s only missing the #100 Checklist card—not even a character card! The vibrant artwork by Joe Jusko really makes these cards stand out, and the set even includes Darkhawk. With a current bid of $5,500, this is a great collectible to consider, as the auction ends in 6 days.

Beyond being free to play, there’s a lot to love about this game. It has a charming art style and a lighthearted feel, all built around the quirky idea of spirits living in clay pots. Players then engage in 4v4 battles, trying to soak their opponents’ kilns with water using both standard attacks and unique abilities tied to their pot’s design.

The future looks bright for Marvel, with these next-generation superheroes leading the charge.

Just because a series doesn’t live up to its first book doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable. Occasionally, later books are almost as good, even if they don’t quite reach the same level. This happens often – whether it’s a strange mix of science fiction and horror, or a show that was popular for a short time – many series struggle to recapture the magic of their initial success.

Here are five Sega series that peaked with the first game.

Gillian Anderson, known for her role in The X-Files, has mentioned discussions with Ryan Coogler about potentially reprising her character, Dana Scully. Now, her former co-star David Duchovny, who played Fox Mulder in two films and 194 television episodes, has also commented on the possibility. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duchovny confirmed there have been preliminary conversations, but stated, “There’s nothing concrete at this point.” He also suggested a return isn’t necessarily a certainty.

The game features both familiar and new characters within the world of the original story, all working together to face emerging dangers after the arrival of strange gates. The newest installment, a standalone story, focuses on Elena Renault, a hunter and original character introduced in Arise, who is part of the Justicia Guild.
