James Gunn and his team are carefully planning how to introduce major characters like Batman and Wonder Woman into the new DC Universe. This makes sense, as these heroes will be central to the franchise when they finally appear. To ensure the DCU remains successful long-term, it’s crucial to get these iconic characters right, and it seems Gunn is heading in a positive direction with Wonder Woman.
The release date for Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard is still unknown, but poncle has announced when players can first try it out. A playable demo will be available on Steam and Xbox in February as part of Steam Next Fest. Poncle also shared a detailed look at some of the game’s mechanics with fans.
The developer will be giving a detailed look at the game’s gameplay and their plans for the first year, starting at 10 AM Pacific Time. Initial reactions have been mixed, ranging from excited relief (“Finally, something!”) to humorous skepticism (“Ya’ll remembered the password”), but overall aren’t bad.
Get ready for new Trials! Plus, we’re adding a matchmaking option for players level 40 and above. This will give experienced players a fresh challenge and help ensure fairer matches, so you’ll no longer be matched with players much lower or higher level.
The fan-made series Gravity Falls: Alternate Universe presents a fascinating twist on the original show’s story. Instead of Ford Pine facing danger from Bill Cipher, the roles are reversed: Bill is now the human, and Ford is the powerful, potentially menacing being. Artist Orxa has reimagined the characters as “Megalomaniac” Stanford Pines and a more naive Bill Cipher. A recent trailer hints at what to expect, and the full episode will be released on January 30th at 10 AM Eastern time – so fans won’t have to wait long to revisit the world of Gravity Falls.
Compared to earlier fantasy films, those made in the 1990s moved away from traditional creatures like dragons and elves, focusing instead on diverse forms of magic. They often drew inspiration from fairy tales, or explored themes of religion and the meaning of life and death, using these ideas as the basis for their stories. This fresh approach makes 1990s fantasy films worthy of more recognition, and the five films below are among the most overlooked gems of the decade.
The game’s launch hasn’t gone smoothly. Instead of excitement about the gameplay, players are confused, frustrated, and losing trust because of concerns about how the game handles spending and in-game purchases. Almost immediately after release, conversations shifted from enjoying the game to worrying about these payments, which felt more problematic than usual for a new title. Starting a game’s life with issues surrounding money creates a negative impression that’s hard to overcome.
I first discovered the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder by listening to a podcast called The Glass Cannon Podcast. Since then, that podcast has grown into a whole network dedicated to actual play shows – recordings of people playing tabletop games. They now cover a wide variety of games, from Vampire: The Masquerade to Delta Green, and many more. Recently, the Glass Cannon Network announced a new type of live show focused on cosmic horror. Starting in 2026, different players from the network will be performing one-session adventures of Call of Cthulhu at events across the U.S. Based on my experience with Get in the Trunk, their Delta Green series, I think horror fans will really enjoy these shows.
Stories about heroes failing have become increasingly popular because they offer a fresh perspective. We’re accustomed to seeing heroes succeed, so seeing them struggle – and even lose – can be surprisingly compelling. There’s a whole trend of stories exploring what happens when heroes are defeated and forced to cope with a world where they’re powerless. These seven Marvel heroes, unfortunately, weren’t able to save the Earth when it needed them most.
As a huge fan, I remember being so excited for the 100th episode of The Vampire Diaries! It aired on January 23, 2014 – Season 5, Episode 11, called “500 Years of Solitude.” The show really went all out to celebrate, bringing back a bunch of old faces which was awesome. Everyone was talking about a big cast change, but while that didn’t happen, the ending still totally shook things up for the story going forward.
