Today marks the 54th anniversary of the US release of Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. Kubrick’s films often sparked debate upon release, frequently dismissed by early reviewers but ultimately embraced by audiences and critics alike. A Clockwork Orange followed this pattern, but its impact went far beyond simple disagreements about quality. The film generated significant public controversy, leading to changes in the movie itself and even a decades-long ban in several countries.

That’s a fantastic achievement, especially since pre-registrations hit 30 million today! As more players sign up, even more rewards become available, like 30,000 T-Creds, 20 Advanced Combat Records, five Basic HH Permits, and a 5-star Operator named Snowshine. If they reach the next goal, players will have a total of 15 Basic HH Permits to use when the game launches.

Fans are disappointed to learn that She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will be removed from Netflix on February 21, 2026. Creator ND Stevenson explained that this is happening because the show’s licensing agreement with Netflix is ending, a situation that has affected other Dreamworks series as well. Stevenson noted that showrunners have no say in these decisions, and it’s frustrating to see years of work lose a platform. While some longtime fans of the original 1985 series have criticized the reboot for deviating from the source material, the show has gained a new following. If you haven’t yet watched this updated version of Adora’s story, now is the time, before it’s no longer available on Netflix.

Currently, three Bubble Trouble games – Bubble Trouble, Bubble Trouble 2: Rebubbled, and Bubble Trouble 3 – are available for free on the Nintendo eShop. However, there’s a catch: you need to already own the previous games from the Switchmas 2025 event. If you’ve been collecting them since the beginning, you’re all set – the first game was free, and you just need to have claimed each subsequent free game. If you haven’t been participating, you’ll need to buy all the previous games to unlock these three, although they are currently heavily discounted. While the free games are worth claiming if you already have the others, they probably aren’t worth purchasing the entire collection just to get them. It’s worth noting that these are the only games being given away for free on the Nintendo eShop all year, making the promotion interesting despite the games themselves being fairly simple.

With Superman gone, the focus is shifting to the younger Kryptonians, particularly Superboy, in a storyline called “Reign of the Superboys.” Every Superman-related comic, from Action Comics to Superman, will include Superboy in some capacity. Notably, Superman Unlimited #11 will center around Jon Kent battling a powerful demon who will become a future enemy. The comic hints at a dramatic turning point for Jon, even suggesting it could be his last appearance as Superboy, while also promising a classic Super Sons-era flashback on the cover.

Released in Japan on December 19, 2002, and worldwide the following year, Panzer Dragoon Orta continued the popular Panzer Dragoon series, known for its dragon-riding and on-rails shooting action. After the previous game, Panzer Dragoon Saga, experimented with RPG elements, Orta returned to the original’s fast-paced gameplay. Visually stunning for its time, Panzer Dragoon Orta demonstrated the power of the Xbox, but unfortunately didn’t sell well, ultimately becoming a beloved cult classic on the console.

Batman recently led the way in bringing back crossovers between DC and Marvel Comics after a gap of over twenty years, and the result was a big hit.

Get ready, because these are some really odd pairings!

During a presentation at Snail Games’ Investor Day in Times Square (as reported by the Epic Games Store), studio head Stieglitz stated their current plan is to launch ARK 2 in 2028. He explained that developing ARK 2 is happening in stages, allowing them to learn and improve both the technology and gameplay. They believe this phased approach is a safer way to deliver the game they envision, rather than attempting to release a complete product immediately.
