I think what really set 90s anime apart was its incredible variety and willingness to *try* things. You had everything – truly prestigious films like *Princess Mononoke* breaking records, super stylish shows like *Cowboy Bebop* that blended genres in a really cool way – noir, jazz, sci-fi western… it was amazing! And then there were those weird, experimental shows like *Serial Experiments Lain* that tapped into this early internet feeling of unease. Modern anime is definitely bigger and more polished, but the 90s just *felt* different. It felt like every project was a kind of experiment, a test of what anime could be. Even the more obscure shows from that era still have this raw energy and a sense of ambition that I really appreciate.

Look, the Battlefield series has been a bit of a rollercoaster, honestly. Some games were amazing, others… not so much. But with the new one, Battlefield 6, EA is really hoping to knock it out of the park and make it something truly special. They want this one to be a game-changer.

Jinwoo asked to go back in time to before the magical Gates appeared, hoping to undo everything. While he succeeded in saving the world, everyone forgot his efforts, which frustrated many readers. It felt as if his entire adventure had been for nothing, because all the events of the story were erased. However, the peaceful world that resulted was actually built on the sacrifices he made to end a long war between powerful beings across multiple timelines. Though the ending initially confused fans, the epilogue helped them accept it somewhat. Recently, the author explained the reasoning behind this choice and expressed regret over how it was received.

Microsoft is hiring for two Senior and Principal Unreal Engine roles at World’s Edge, the studio known for the Age of Empires franchise. While the job listings don’t explicitly state the project, it’s widely believed these positions are for the development of Age of Empires V.

Rumors suggest that Avengers: Doomsday might feature multiple villainous versions of familiar characters, possibly uniting to assist Doctor Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr.). One potential villain is a twisted take on the Hulk, specifically the character Maestro. In the Marvel comics, Maestro is a future version of the Hulk who is evil and uses Bruce Banner’s intelligence combined with the Hulk’s immense power for wicked deeds. Though Mark Ruffalo is expected to reprise his role as the Hulk in Doomsday – this hasn’t been officially confirmed – another actor might portray Maestro, and Lou Ferrigno would be an ideal choice.

If you’re looking for a truly strange and unique anime, *Dorohedoro* stands out. The story centers around a sorcerer with a lizard head who’s trying to find out who turned him that way. After its initial release in 2020, many viewers doubted a second season would ever happen. But now, along with a new look, MAPPA has revealed what’s next for Kaiman and his wild journey.

The new Magnus APU will combine two main components: a CPU chip and a graphics processor (GPU). The CPU will be based on AMD’s advanced Zen 6 architecture and will include up to 3 regular Zen 6 cores, plus 8 smaller, more efficient Zen 6c cores, all sharing a 12 MB cache. The GPU will utilize the same technology found in AMD’s Radeon desktop graphics cards and will feature 68 RDNA5 processing units with 4 shader engines. This hardware is expected to have a 24 MB cache, which is five times larger than the cache found in the Xbox Series X.

Here are three underrated RPGs from the ‘90s, listed from oldest to newest.

The story centers around a group of people who find themselves stuck in a town they can’t escape. Once night falls, terrifying creatures emerge, and survival relies on both intelligence and good fortune. Boyd Stevens, played by Harold Perrineau, steps up as a natural leader, attempting to unite the residents and safeguard those who arrive, all while they try to uncover the reason for their imprisonment. Think of it as a blend of *Lost* and a Stephen King novel – a sense of isolation with mysterious rules, combined with psychological thrills and constant suspense.

A fan on Threads asked James Gunn how the *Peacemaker* finale, “Full Nelson,” connects to the upcoming *Man of Tomorrow*. Gunn explained that everything happening at the end of the finale – Chris’s situation, the relationship between the government and people with superpowers, the new alliance between Rick and Lex, and their choices – will all play a role in the future of *Man of Tomorrow*, and beyond.
