Hogwarts Legacy has become a hugely popular game since its release, and it’s still selling very well on all platforms even after two years. That’s why it’s such a great deal that Epic Games is giving the game away for free until December 18th! If you don’t already own Hogwarts Legacy, now’s your chance – you have less than a day to claim it before the offer ends.
Okay, so initially it looks like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were just casualties, collateral damage in the larger scheme of things. But the more I think about it, the more I’m convinced it was about Qui-Gon specifically. He wasn’t just any Jedi; he had a unique connection to the Force, and that’s how he found Anakin – he recognized the Chosen One. Even though the Jedi Council never fully accepted him, they clearly valued his insights, and his death really rattled them. It feels like, had he lived, his perspective on achieving balance in the Force could have actually prevented Anakin’s turn to the dark side. Honestly, looking back, Qui-Gon seems like a genuine danger to the Sith, a real wrench in their plans.
One of the most important games of its time was a surprisingly simple mix of action, strategy, and character. It let players experiment, learn by trying things out, and really master the gameplay. While many games at the time were very straightforward, this one gave players freedom and control, and showed what console games were capable of. That game was Mega Man, and it continues to influence gaming today, almost 40 years later.
The game involves finding many hidden buttons, and one wrong move means starting over. It also requires teamwork from everyone playing, which can make coordinating efforts challenging.
The game didn’t have a very strong launch, recently reaching a peak of 1,140 players, though that number could still grow. The developer quickly released an update to address some initial problems, including long loading times and issues with character appearances on lower graphics settings. Players should also experience more reliable connections and overall server performance.
On December 17th, It: Chapter One was the most-streamed movie on HBO Max, significantly outpacing all other titles. It nearly doubled the viewership of The Conjuring: Last Rites, the movie in second place. According to FlixPatrol, the 2017 horror film dominated the HBO Max streaming charts, and It: Welcome to Derry also performed very well on television. With the recent finale of Welcome to Derry, many viewers are revisiting the original It films.
As a huge comic and fight fan, I was really excited for DC’s ‘All Fight Month’ – a month-long event showing off the second round of the DC K.O. tournament, with extra fights thrown in for good measure. We’ve already seen some cool matchups like Superman vs. Captain Atom and Aquaman vs. Hawkman, but honestly, the fight I was most looking forward to was Harley Quinn against Zatanna. And let me tell you, it totally delivered! It’s easily the best thing I’ve read so far during this ‘All Fight Month’ event.
Richard Harington is now working on several popular franchises after his time with Game of Thrones. He played Dane Whitman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Eternals and recently joined the world of Harry Potter, voicing Gilderoy Lockhart in the full-cast audiobook of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In an interview with Variety, Harington discussed the role and his fondness for the Harry Potter series. He was also asked if he’d ever consider voicing Jon Snow in a new audiobook adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire. Harington quickly said no, stating, “No, god no. I don’t want to go anywhere near it. I spent 10 years doing that. Thanks, I’m alright.”
