Games

Today, May 3rd, a pair of creators released six free profile pictures (avatars) for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 users. These avatars are themed around the game Saros. While PlayStation doesn’t offer free avatars with every game release, they’ve been doing it more often for major titles. It’s notable that the creators’ previous game, Returnal, didn’t get this treatment, suggesting Saros is considered a particularly important release for PlayStation. It’s currently unclear how long these avatars will be available, but the lack of an expiration date suggests they might be permanent additions. PlayStation has offered both permanent and time-limited avatars in the past. You can view the new free avatars below.

Sequels can’t simply rehash the original story. The most successful ones take familiar characters and send them on exciting new adventures. It’s a delicate balance – the more we care about the characters, the more a sequel could disappoint. When a sequel does work, it’s amazing, like how The Empire Strikes Back is often considered the strongest Star Wars film, or how Aliens is arguably better than the original Alien. But a failed sequel can ruin a franchise. With KPop Demon Hunters 2, what hurdles do Netflix and Sony need to overcome?

According to Screen Rant, if the movie remains in Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched list for the next seven weeks—until June 20th, 2025—it will have stayed there for a full year. This would be a first for any film or show on the platform. This potential achievement follows another major success: KPop Demon Hunters is already Netflix’s most-watched movie ever, accomplishing this just months after its release.

Back in 2004, Cartoon Network premiered Megas XLR, a unique action show that blended influences from giant robot anime, video games, and classic cartoons. Unfortunately, you can’t stream or watch it on Cartoon Network now – it’s been removed from their library, and attempts to revive it haven’t been successful. This has strangely made the show even more beloved over time, turning it into a bit of a hidden treasure for those who remember watching it when it first aired.

No matter how many times heroes defeat these villains, they always find a way to come back. Even total destruction can’t keep them down – they always reform and continue to spread terror throughout the universe.

You can now watch all five seasons of Angel, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, on Tubi for free. The show, which follows a vampire detective in Los Angeles, became available on the streaming service May 1st.

As a huge animation fan, I always loved how different The Ricky Gervais Show on HBO was. Most adult cartoons have a set cast and a specific world, but this one was totally unique. It started as a podcast, and the show basically took the rambling, hilarious conversations between Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington and animated them like an old-school Hanna-Barbera cartoon. There wasn’t much of a plot, really – it was just them going off on tangents and arguing with each other, and that’s what made it so funny!

Most people remember Practical Magic, a beloved 90s movie about sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) Owens. They come from a family with a history of magic, but they’ve tried to avoid using it themselves. However, things change when Gillian’s violent boyfriend suddenly dies – a pattern with all of her relationships – and the sisters are forced to use real magic. This attracts the attention of a local police officer, Gary Hallet, who becomes suspicious. In an attempt to fix things, Sally and Gillian accidentally bring a man named Angelov back to life, but an evil spirit ends up possessing his body.

The initial glimpse of the project is a movie poster with a retro design. It was posted on Reddit, and the description explains that Rogue Trooper tells the story of a lone super-soldier seeking revenge, aided by a gun, backpack, and helmet that hold the personalities of his fallen comrades.

Sean Murphy, Matt Hollingsworth, and Todd Klein’s Batman: White Knight, first published in 2017, quickly became a fan favorite. Since then, the story has expanded with several sequels and spin-offs. Now, Murphy has announced a new installment, and for the first time, Superman will appear in the White Knight universe. Murphy also shared a first look at Superman’s design, and it’s exciting to see these two iconic heroes together in this world. You can see the new design below.
