27 Years Ago Today, One of the Greatest Comic Strips of All Time Debuted (And It’s Just as Relevant Today)

by

I was a huge fan of The Boondocks comic strip back in the day! It was incredibly popular, appearing in over 300 newspapers before it finished in 2006. The story followed brothers Huey and Riley Freeman, who moved from Chicago to live with their grandfather in the mostly white suburb of Woodcrest. The name The Boondocks really captured how out-of-place and isolated these kids felt. It was a really powerful, politically-driven comic that spoke directly to the experiences of many African Americans in the late 90s and early 2000s. Honestly, it was unlike anything else in the newspapers then, and it’s still a cultural touchstone for me today.

Charlie Cox Addresses Daredevil’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Appearance Theories

by

Charlie Cox has addressed the recent rumors, and it appears they’re unfounded. When asked about them at the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards, Cox firmly denied any involvement. “I’m not in it,” he stated repeatedly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m not there. Unless they digitally insert me later, I promise I won’t be appearing.” He apologized for having to clarify the situation.

Andre Royo Joins ‘Man of Tomorrow’ Cast in Mystery Role

by

Royo acted in James Gunn’s 2010 dark comedy, Super, which featured Rainn Wilson as a troubled cook who becomes a vigilante. Gunn also cast Nathan Fillion, who had previously played Green Lantern in Superman, showing his tendency to work with familiar faces. Royo has also been in shows like Empire and the film Beautiful Boy, but he’s most known for his role as Reginald ‘Bubbles’ Cousins on HBO’s The Wire. Bubbles was a homeless heroin addict who helped the police, and despite his circumstances, he was often one of the most kind-hearted characters on the show.

39 Years Ago Today, the Best Cartoon of All-Time Premiered in a Surprising Way (And It Was Very Different)

Just as important, The Simpsons likely launched the entire genre of adult animation in America, and it’s been the leading style of TV comedy for the past forty years. Without it, popular shows like Family Guy, South Park, Bob’s Burgers, King of the Hill, and American Dad probably wouldn’t exist. Interestingly, The Simpsons didn’t begin as a typical TV series. It first appeared in 1987 as a collection of short animated segments on The Tracey Ullman Show.

Metro 2039’s Apocalypse Is Going to Be Unlike Anything You’ve Played Before

by

The new game continues the bleak and realistic portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world, a common setting in many modern games. While many titles explore the aftermath of societal collapse, Metro 2039 tackles the concept with a particularly grim and authentic feel, drawing heavily from the realities of war and loss. This gives the game a unique intensity that sets it apart and could make it stand out from other titles in the genre.

Every OG Game Of Thrones Character Alive During A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms

by

As a huge fan of Game of Thrones, I’m really curious to see where A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms goes. It’s exciting for those of us who loved the original series, and many of us are already hoping to see some characters we recognize. The timeline is interesting – by the time Dunk and Egg’s story ends, people like Tywin Lannister will have been born. There’s about 40 years between the events at Summerhall and the start of Thrones. And even in the Dunk and Egg stories we’ve gotten so far, quite a few characters who were around in the original series are still alive, even if we don’t always know exactly when they were born.

Galactic Hack: $6B Ethereum Exit in 48 Hours

According to the ever-optimistic LookonChain, Aave’s total value locked (TVL) performed a spectacular impression of a sinking ship, losing $6.28 billion faster than a Vogon poetry reading can clear a room. The culprit? KelpDAO’s LayerZero bridge, which accidentally became the financial equivalent of a black hole when hackers conjured 82,600 ETH ($195M) and 292 million rsETH tokens from the void. Spoiler: They weren’t authorized.

Marathon’s WSTR Shotgun Nerf Means No More Two-Shotting Blue Shield (and Above) Users

by

As a big player, I’ve noticed one weapon is becoming super popular and overshadowing a lot of others for close-range fights. The developers are making a change so it can’t instantly take down enemies with Blue or higher rarity shields with just two hits. Don’t worry though, it’ll still be great for quickly taking out enemies with Green shields, which means we can still easily farm those Free Kit Runners to get Contracts!
