As a film and TV obsessive, I’ve noticed how some episodes just become… infamous. Take Lost‘s “Stranger in a Strange Land” – everyone remembers it as ‘the tattoo episode,’ and it’s often brought up as the one truly weak link in an otherwise great show. It’s funny how these moments stick with a series, becoming either a running joke or a cautionary tale. And honestly, most shows have at least one of these episodes, though I don’t always think they deserve the negativity they get.

As a huge Sonic fan, I’m not surprised Paramount is already thinking beyond the fourth film! They recently announced a big “event movie” planned for December 22, 2028, set in the Sonic universe. We don’t know exactly what it’ll be about yet, but the buzz is that it could involve Shadow the Hedgehog – maybe even a whole movie centered around him. That’s something I’d definitely be excited to see!

The Metal Gear Solid franchise is still popular, and Konami decided to bring it back earlier this year with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a rebuilt version of the third game. Konami likely started with this particular game because fans love it, and it’s also the first story when looking at the series chronologically, which makes it a good starting point for new players. Now the question is: what’s next for the series? There appear to be several possibilities.

Following Xebec’s death, he’s desperately trying to gain the World Government’s favor. Chapter 1167 of One Piece shows him joining the Holy Knights and obeying every order, no matter what. In Marijoa, he encounters Shanks, who finally returned to his family years after Gol D. Roger was executed. But this reunion wasn’t a coincidence – it was the result of a carefully laid plan. The chapter once again highlights how Shanks’ choices have shaped the world, a pattern that’s been consistent throughout the story.

Game Freak, the studio behind Pokémon, is working on a new project that could be a turning point for them. While they’re famous for Pokémon, their other games, like Little Town Hero and Giga Wrecker, haven’t been hugely successful. However, there’s growing excitement about their upcoming RPG, Beast of Reincarnation, even though we haven’t seen much about it since its initial announcement. This game could be Game Freak’s most important release outside of the Pokémon series, and how well it does could significantly influence the future of Pokémon games themselves.

We’re referring to 1982. It is the gold standard for sci-fi cinema. Let’s unpack why.

Even though it’s been uncertain, the DC Universe is still hinting at Batman’s arrival. While Batman briefly appeared in last year’s animated series, Creature Commandos, it’s unknown how much of that story will connect to future films. Superman also included a small tease about Batman and Gotham City’s role in the DCU. Now, James Gunn has shared some details on social media about how Batman will fit into the DCU, and what’s most important for the character’s future.

Despite being called Black Souls 2, this is actually the third game in the series. Red Hood’s Woods came before the original Black Souls. This sequel expands on the dark fantasy world of Black Souls with a lot more to explore. It features 11 different endings, but unlike the first game, you can’t get all of them in a single playthrough – you’ll need to play through the game multiple times to see everything.

In 2025, Blue Prince emerged as a truly special game—creative, captivating, and remarkably memorable, earning praise from both critics and players. Despite excellent reviews and a dedicated following, it was surprisingly overlooked at the year’s major awards. While many big games came out that year, Blue Prince didn’t receive the recognition it deserved, and some believe it’s a true all-time great.
