Green Arrow is a superhero who doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. He played a significant role in the development of comic books, with storylines like “Hard-Traveling Heroes” and “The Longbow Hunters” helping to shape the character into the hero fans know and love today. While popular in the 1980s, his success waned in the 1990s, leading to the character being killed off and replaced. He experienced a revival in 2001 when writer/director Kevin Smith reimagined him in Green Arrow (Vol. 3). Smith’s 15-issue run was so successful – making the book DC’s top seller – that DC continued the series with another writer from outside the comic book world, Brad Meltzer, a college friend of DC writer Judd Winick who had become a novelist. Partnering with artist Phil Hester, Meltzer then delivered what many consider to be the definitive Green Arrow story.

The 1996 sci-fi hit Independence Day, directed by Roland Emmerich, is now available to stream on Netflix. Starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman, the film quickly climbed the U.S. streaming charts after being added on February 1st, proving it’s still a fan favorite. Independence Day tells the story of a group of people who come together to fight back against a powerful alien invasion on July 4th, after the aliens have already destroyed many cities and threatened humanity’s existence. It was a huge box office success when it was released, earning $817 million and becoming the second-highest-grossing movie of all time at that point.

Considering how fast-paced Sonic games usually are, a racing title feels like a natural fit for the franchise. While Sega has improved at making these kinds of games, some older Sonic racing games were plagued with technical issues. A particularly frustrating one, released twenty years ago, is still considered a major disappointment and a lost opportunity for the series.

I’ve been a D&D (and Pathfinder!) player for ages, always the one super into the rules and lore. I’ve helped out a Dungeon Master here and there with bits of a campaign, but I’d never fully run a game myself. That all changed last year when I picked up Dragon Delves. I found a one-shot adventure in there that I absolutely loved, and I knew it was time for me to try DMing. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it would be like, since I’d run a few sessions before, but running a one-shot is totally different. If you’re like me and thinking about becoming a D&D DM for the first time, I wanted to share a few things I learned from running my first one.

The 1997 special edition of The Empire Strikes Back is often considered the most successful of the revised films. It likely benefited from George Lucas’ respect for the director, Irvin Kershner, resulting in fewer noticeable changes compared to other films in the trilogy. Many fans appreciate improvements like the reworked wampa attack and the expanded Cloud City scenes. However, one alteration remains particularly controversial: Luke Skywalker’s added scream as he falls from the platform in Cloud City after his fight with Darth Vader.
