Marvel appears to be focusing on Wolverine as a key part of its upcoming plans for stories about mutants. Caleb Williams noticed a trademark for “Wolverine” was recently filed in the US, but hasn’t yet been registered in Europe.

…Or did they?

On December 17th, the Pokemon news site PokeBeach reported that Millennium Print Group, the company that prints Pokemon Trading Cards (TCG) and other trading cards, has bought a large new factory.

One of my biggest worries while working on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was making sure it felt like the first game, but also giving players ways to handle the challenges a bit better. We definitely learned from the first Death Stranding – it was tough in places! Hideo Kojima-san said we really thought about the difficulty. We wanted to keep the core gameplay and themes intact, but smooth things out so it’s more approachable. That’s why we added a bunch more vehicles – to give players more options and make things a little easier.

Over the past few months, EA has closed down several games without much explanation. For example, the 2019 racing game Grid hasn’t been available to buy for two years, and EA never said why it was removed from online stores. It’s likely the licenses for the game expired. Once a game is no longer for sale, EA has little reason to keep its servers running, as maintaining them is costly and can create security problems.

Written by Jesse Armstrong, the creator of popular sitcoms like Peep Show, Fresh Meat, and Succession, “The Entire History of You” imagined a future where people could record and rewatch their memories thanks to an implanted device called a “grain.” The episode centers on a couple, Liam and Ffion Foxwell (played by Toby Kebbell and Jodie Whittaker), and the story was originally planned as a standalone movie. Robert Downey Jr.’s production company, Team Downey, even bought the rights to make the film, but the project was ultimately never produced.

Mark Hamill recently joked on CBS This Morning (as reported by Star Wars Holocron) that he thinks it’s ironic Luke Skywalker died from using too much of the Force. He’s mentioned this before, but this time he specifically pointed out that Obi-Wan and Yoda never warned Luke about the dangers of overusing his powers.
