Wow, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a massive hit! It’s already made over $370 million worldwide and looks like it could hit the billion-dollar mark, just like the first Mario movie. And of course, with a movie this popular, everyone wants the merchandise. AMC’s CEO, Adam Aron, told us that their special Super Mario Galaxy Movie popcorn buckets completely sold out in just a few days – breaking a long-standing record for the fastest sell-out at the chain. It’s clear fans are going all-in on this one!

During the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, co-host Mike Straw discussed the development of Star Wars Eclipse. He reported hearing that progress on the game has been very slow, with little accomplished in recent months. While a significant amount of work is reportedly finished, Quantic Dream is still taking a long time to complete the project, and a release is not expected for several years.

However, later episodes don’t fare as well – they fall into the lower half of all 332 episodes. It makes you wonder if that ranking is fair. Are they actually worse than highly-rated episodes like Season 18’s “Grounded Vindaloop” (ranked 12th) or “200” and the heavily edited “201” (ranked 34th and 35th)? We’re not saying those episodes are bad, but are they truly among the show’s best?

Batman truly earns his title as the World’s Greatest Detective. He’s exceptionally intelligent – consistently ranked among the smartest people on Earth. While he might not always be the absolute smartest, he’s always right up there. Batman uses his intellect to overcome even his most unpredictable enemies. His contingency plans for the Justice League are a prime example, but it’s not just about having a plan. What truly makes Batman special is his ability to think quickly, adjust to changing situations, and create incredibly complex traps that no one anticipates. Bruce is an unparalleled learner, and today we’re highlighting his greatest asset by showcasing five of his most brilliant moments from the comics.

The older God of War games included brief, optional scenes with romantic themes. These functioned as a simple game within the game, and players were rewarded with items to improve their character if they completed them. While initially seen as strange and became a well-known quirk among fans, later installments gave these scenes more emotional depth. Many would be disappointed if this aspect of the series were removed in future games.

The final battle of Black Clover against Lucius Zogratis concluded earlier this year, and it felt like the “Super Climax” arc was wrapping up. However, a new release planned for May includes a special interview with Asta’s voice actor, Gakuto Fujiwara, suggesting this next update will be the series’ final one.

Some games are incredibly large, with some exceeding 100 GB in size. This can be a problem since the PlayStation 5 only has around 825 GB of storage built in. While you can upgrade to a bigger SSD, it’s still a significant amount of space to use up.

Jakub Stokalski, lead designer of Frostpunk, recently shared his excitement about the game coming to Nintendo Switch. He explained that Frostpunk is a game where your difficult choices and their consequences stay with you, and now you’ll be able to experience that weight of responsibility on the go. As someone who worked on both the original game and its sequel, Stokalski says bringing Frostpunk to a wider audience feels like a dream and a fitting end to the game’s development journey. The Switch version will include all the gameplay and tough moral decisions that made the original a beloved classic.

Here is an overview of the downloadable content, via its Steam page:

The Scrubs episode “My Best Friend’s Barbecue” introduces two concepts: “Doctor Face,” a blank, unemotional expression used when delivering bad news or avoiding reaction, and “Nurse Voice,” a comforting tone for patients. JD struggles to maintain “Doctor Face” when he finds out he wasn’t invited to Turk and Carla’s annual barbecue, and he tries to get answers directly from Carla. This sets up the central conflict of the episode and highlights something fans of the Scrubs revival have been wanting more of: scenes featuring JD and Carla together.
