They’ve released the first 108 chapters – that’s the first 12 volumes! – for free on their digital Shonen Jump. Honestly, if you’ve been thinking about starting One Piece, now is the perfect time!
Okay, so I’ve been following Silksong and while most people on Steam seem to really like it, it’s not without its flaws. The game is absolutely beautiful – the art style is unique and the worlds are incredibly detailed, making exploration a real treat. However, it can be pretty tough! The open-ended design, while cool, sometimes left me feeling lost and a little frustrated, especially when I first started playing.
Viewers started picking up on a cute connection between Stark and Fern as they got to know each other, noticing a subtle romantic tension. The first season hinted at this with sweet, playful moments, and even another character playfully urged them to start dating. However, the show then focused on a different storyline, leaving their relationship on the back burner. Now, in the current season, as the story progresses, Stark finally asks Fern on a date, suggesting their romance will become a bigger part of the series going forward.
Okay, let’s be real – the world’s moved on since Barry Allen disappeared. Wally West is doing great as the Flash, and the whole Flash family is functioning perfectly well. But honestly, seeing Barry on the bench feels…off. I mean, they really built him up as the Flash for a long time, so it’s strange he’s just…gone. However, a recent story arc might have hinted at a really interesting, and unexpected, way for Barry to come back into the hero game.
Surprisingly, the earliest example of a racing game wasn’t found in arcades. It actually appeared on the Magnavox Odyssey, the very first home video game console. This system was quite simple, showing basic images in black and white on a TV screen – just three squares and a line. To add detail, players needed to attach plastic sheets to the screen, and some games even used a separate game board. One game, called Wipeout, used a colorful overlay and a board to track laps, with one player’s dot acting as a timer. While incredibly basic, it was, in essence, a racing game.
What makes this story truly work is its focus on relationships. It understands that fantasy is most engaging when we connect with the characters and their bonds, rather than just magical elements or grand predictions. Right from the start, the story centers on friendship, loyalty, and the decisions characters make, even during lighter moments. While each episode presents a new challenge, these problems usually connect to a bigger, overarching plot. It’s a similar setup to Percy Jackson, but instead of Greek mythology, this story is set in the world of Camelot.
Okay, so if you’ve played any of the Trails games before, you pretty much know the deal with this remake. But honestly, the reason I’m so excited to show you this is to highlight just how much the series has improved over time. It’s a big jump!
In Avengers: Doomsday, all of these characters will battle Doctor Doom, who is the film’s primary villain and likely a greater challenge than anyone else on this list.
