The new crime drama, Memory of a Killer, premiered on Hulu January 26th. Created by Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone, the series is based on the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer and stars Dempsey as Angelo Doyle, a seemingly ordinary salesman and father who leads a secret life as a dangerous hitman in New York City. When Doyle begins to develop early-onset Alzheimer’s, his two worlds start to dangerously overlap. New episodes air on Fox Mondays at 9 p.m. ET and become available to stream on Hulu the next day. The second episode will be available on Hulu at 2:01 a.m. ET on January 27th.

A great example of an unexpected turnaround is A24’s The Smashing Machine, the sports drama starring Dwayne Johnson and based on the life of MMA fighter Mark Kerr. While the film received mixed reviews and didn’t perform well in theaters, it seemed to lose its momentum for awards consideration. However, it has now received an Academy Award nomination, and even more impressively, quickly became the most-watched film on HBO Max, finding a large audience after all.

I’ve been checking out previews from a bunch of different gaming sites – 4Gamer.net, Dengeki Online, Eurogamer, Famitsu, Game Informer, Gamer.ne.jp, GamesRadar+, GAME Watch, Giant Bomb, IGN, IGN Japan, Kotaku, the PlayStation Blog (both the US and Japanese versions!), Polygon, Shacknews, VideoGamer, and Xbox Wire. It’s been a deep dive getting all the info!

Combining hacking with shooting isn’t easy, so it took a lot of experimentation to get right. Director Cho Yonghee explained to GamesRadar that making these two gameplay elements work together was a major hurdle during development.

Fulton explained that they discussed how some recent games have become more nuanced in their exploration of morality. They realized that good and evil aren’t absolute concepts – what one person considers good, another might see as evil. There’s no universal agreement on these things, it’s all a matter of perspective. They found this idea fascinating, both from a philosophical standpoint and as a design element for their game, and it became a central focus of their work.

The reveal of Ser Arlan as a knight wielding two swords isn’t entirely new for Game of Thrones, a show that has previously featured full male nudity with characters like Hodor (Kristian Nairn) and Aemon Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell). However, the scene with Danny Webb’s Arlan is arguably more striking, especially considering its scale. Showrunner Ira Parker jokingly told EW about it, suggesting it was quite a moment.

The Fallout RPG series became widely popular with Fallout 3, as it was the first installment released on consoles. While many discovered the series then, Fallout actually began with two earlier games: Fallout (1997) and Fallout 2 (1998). If you haven’t played these classic RPGs, now’s your chance! Both are currently available for free with a Prime Gaming subscription. The best part is, once you claim them, you get to keep them forever, even if you cancel your subscription.

After a 13-year gap following Silent Hill: Revelation (2012), Return to Silent Hill aimed to restart the film series. The movie, which draws inspiration from the video game Silent Hill 2, hasn’t performed well, earning only $3 million domestically and receiving largely negative reviews. This poor reception, combined with its disappointing box office numbers, could mean the end of the Silent Hill movie franchise after two decades.

With the news that Yuji is still a powerful sorcerer – now considered the strongest – everyone eagerly awaited his return. As Yuka faced off against Dabura, a powerful alien sorcerer equal to Sukuna, it seemed certain Yuji would come back to save the sorcerers and humanity from the Simurians’ control. In Chapter 19 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, titled “Rapid Strides,” Yuji finally appears after a fierce battle between Dabura and Mahoraga, where Dabura learns about Reversed Cursed Energy and Mahoraga starts adapting to physical attacks. However, Yuji surprised fans by attacking both Simurians and humans without discrimination.
