In Remnants of Yore, you play as Yore, an adorable cat wizard! The game features a beautiful 3D pixel art style that really brings its fantastical world to life. However, things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows – Yore is stuck in a village plagued by a corrupted forest, and it’s up to them to fight back against the darkness. To make ends meet while trapped in town, Yore runs an abandoned antique shop. As someone who enjoys both shopkeeping simulations and roguelike gameplay, Remnants of Yore has definitely piqued my interest.

Director and producer Shane Trachtenberg has entered into a three-year deal with Paramount Pictures to develop new feature films. Working with his partner Ben Rosenblatt, Trachtenberg will focus on projects intended for theatrical release. This deal creates a conflict with his previous work on the Predator franchise, as Disney (through 20th Century Studios) owns the rights to that series. Any films Trachtenberg makes for Paramount must be separate from Predator, potentially pausing his involvement with that franchise as he focuses on new projects for Paramount.

As a longtime fan of the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ universe, I’ve noticed a fascinating pattern with the name ‘Aegon.’ It turns out the Targaryens didn’t start using it with their arrival in Westeros – Aegon the Conqueror’s ancestor actually bore the name! But it was he who really popularized it among the family. It’s no shock, considering he was the first Targaryen king. Over the course of the lore, we’ve encountered around fifteen Aegons, even popping up in different noble houses. Of those, five have actually claimed the Iron Throne and ruled the Seven Kingdoms, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we meet at least one more before it’s all said and done.

I’m really excited about what Hamster Corporation is doing with their Arcade Archives series! They brought the original Ridge Racer to PS5 and PS4 last year, and now they’re releasing the sequel, Rave Racer soon. It’s awesome to be able to play these classic arcade games at home!

As a LEGO fanatic, I’m really excited about what’s coming later this month! We’re going to see a huge variety of sets – everything from the LEGO Education line, which is fantastic for building and learning with kids, to the Pokémon Day releases everyone’s been waiting for, dropping on February 27th. It’s a great time to be a LEGO fan!

As a huge fan, I’ve been completely hooked by A Man on the Inside these last couple of seasons. Mike Schur and Ted Danson have created something really special – it’s funny, the characters feel so real, and it’s all wrapped up in a great mystery. So I was thrilled to hear Netflix is giving it a third season! Honestly, it’s totally deserved.

Unfortunately, many adaptations of Tolkien’s work don’t reach the same level of quality as Peter Jackson’s best films—and that includes some directed by him as well. While The Hobbit series has moments of brilliance, and previous attempts to bring Middle-earth to life fall short, they all demonstrate a clear appreciation for Tolkien’s original stories, even if they don’t quite measure up.
