Stalker 2 artist kickstarts the Zone Kit modding scene with a flood of glorious nonsense mods featuring Shrek, CJ, and—you guessed it—Thomas the Tank Engine

Despite the fact that the Zone Kit has been released just yesterday, there’s already a significant number of new Stalker 2 mods popping up on Mod.io. A large portion of this early surge in activity can be attributed to Sanekum, an active modder who seems to be Aleksandr Silantev, a multi-talented artist known as a “senior brick artist” but officially recognized as an architecture artist and outsource art manager at GSC Game World.

Top Gun 3 Will Only Happen on One Condition (And We Agree)

Indeed, there’s still a lot more of [Maverick]’s tale left to share, as Kosinski mentioned, “There’s one final adventure ahead.” Currently, we’re in the process of creating this story.

FBC: Firebreak Creators Share Future Plans Following Mixed Reviews

The Firebreak game, according to Metacritic, received a moderate rating of 65, placing it somewhere in the middle to lower spectrum. So far, it hasn’t managed to attract more than 2000 concurrent players on Steam, and its rating on this platform is Mixed. Despite the excitement surrounding its release, Remedy Entertainment’s cooperative first-person shooter didn’t quite live up to expectations as planned, based on player feedback. Many fans argue that the game appears unfinished and lacks a polished feel. Others complain about the absence of in-game social features, which they say impedes their ability to fully enjoy a game designed for cooperation.

Ironheart Review Bombing Continues an Upsetting Trend

On Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcorn Meter, ratings are calculated from user-submitted reviews that can be posted on the site. As of now, Ironheart has a 68% positive rating on this meter, with an average score of 3.6 out of 10. Interestingly, the score was at 32% just before the premiere, which might have been due to deliberate review-bombing. The only chance one had to watch the show prior to its release would be attending the red carpet premiere on Monday. However, even those attendees were often critics whose reviews would have appeared on the Tomatometer rather than the Popcorn Meter.

Matt Smith Already Revealed Doctor Who’s Perfect Way to Bring Him Back 2 Years Ago

Matt Smith initially made his debut as the Eleventh Doctor on “Doctor Who” in the New Year’s Day special of 2010 titled “The End of Time,” succeeding David Tennant.

From 2010 until the Christmas special of 2013, “The Time of the Doctor,” Smith played the role of the Doctor, eventually being replaced by Peter Capaldi. Despite his recent work in popular productions like “House of the Dragon,” “Last Night in Soho,” and the upcoming “Caught Stealing,” Smith yearns to revisit his “Doctor Who” beginnings.

Netflix’s One Piece Is Setting Fans Up for One Major Disappointment

In a surprising turn of events, the live-action adaptation of One Piece on Netflix has chosen Bridgerton’s Charithra Chandran to portray Miss Wednesday, also known as Princess Vivi. This casting decision has sparked quite a buzz among fans. However, it is important for new viewers to understand that Vivi will not be joining the Straw Hats at the end of the Alabasta Arc, which may lead to some heartbreak down the line. While there may be debate over Chandran’s casting, there’s no denying that her performance in Season 2 is bound to win fans over, just as Vivi did twenty years ago in the anime, and both new and long-time fans should brace themselves for the emotional goodbye when the Straw Hats depart from her.
