Many people hoped Pokémon Champions would be a good starting point for getting into VGC, which is competitive online battling for the classic turn-based Pokémon RPG. The depth of Pokémon comes from how different types, moves, and evolutions work together, leading to complex team battles that require strategy. While easier to use than sites like Pokémon Showdown, some parts of Pokémon Champions aren’t as simple for new players as they could be.

As DC Comics prepares for a major event called Absolute Crisis, it’s a good moment to revisit the stories that have shaped the universe, both the highs and the lows.

Plot twists in the 1990s landed with a much bigger impact because spoilers didn’t spread as quickly. Back then, you had to rely on phone calls or newspapers to find out secrets, instead of instant social media updates. This meant a shocking reveal on a Tuesday night show could still genuinely surprise viewers by Friday. At the same time, TV was changing – shows started telling longer, connected stories instead of self-contained episodes. This combination of slow spoiler culture and innovative storytelling led to a few truly shocking moments that people talked about for years.

Okay, folks, if you’re looking for a dystopian marathon, you’re in luck! As of April 14th, all five Hunger Games movies – from the original in 2012 all the way through The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes – are now streaming on Hulu. It’s been quite a ride watching Katniss Everdeen transform from a girl just trying to survive the Games to the face of a full-blown rebellion. And now, the newest installment takes us back to the beginning, showing us a young Coriolanus Snow and how he became the man we know (or think we know) while mentoring a tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. It’s a complete package for fans and a great entry point for anyone new to Panem!

While not universally hated, HBO’s teen drama Euphoria hasn’t received the best reviews lately. The show initially gained attention in 2019 for being one of HBO’s most popular, and for its realistic, though often shocking, portrayal of issues like drug use and sexuality. Euphoria originally received both praise and controversy, but with the release of its long-awaited third season, the show’s scandals have become more prominent than its former critical success.

When a new Pokémon card set is released, the prices of its rarer cards often change a lot at first. It takes time to figure out how truly rare those cards are and how much collectors will pay for them. While even expensive cards from recent sets like Scarlet & Violet usually sell for around $400 raw, or up to $2,500 graded for a perfect Pikachu, one card released in March 2025 – a Mew ex – is already worth $10,000 ungraded, and its price is expected to stay high.

We’ve rarely seen a new video game receive updates as substantial and frequent as those for Crimson Desert. Since launching on March 29th, the game has gotten a major patch almost every week, and it looks like that pace will continue for the foreseeable future.

Here is an overview of the game, via Top Hat Studios:

Megumi Ogata, the voice actor for Yuta Okkotsu, revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Yuta’s battle with Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori was initially intended to be contained within one episode. However, the production team considered extending it to two, but worried that doing so would slow the fight down and make it feel unlike the fast-paced action typically seen in Jujutsu Kaisen. They feared it would result in drawn-out scenes of characters simply posing or staring at each other.

As a fan, it’s wild to think about how shows can unexpectedly connect! Today marks 18 years since How I Met Your Mother aired “The Chain of Screaming,” the episode where Bob Odenkirk guest-starred as Arthur Hobbs, Marshall’s boss. It seems so small, but that appearance actually had a ripple effect! Because Odenkirk became a recurring character on How I Met Your Mother, it forced Breaking Bad to introduce a whole new character to work around his schedule – and that new character ended up completely changing the direction of Breaking Bad! It’s amazing how one show can impact another like that.
