It’s been seven years since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released on the Nintendo Switch. With its huge selection of characters and stages, the game has kept players engaged for almost a decade. Now, on its seventh anniversary, it’s a good time to remember what made Ultimate so popular – and understand why we haven’t heard about a new installment yet, likely due to the game’s incredible depth and content.
To mark its 20th anniversary, the popular series Code Geass is planning new projects, including a brand-new anime called Code Geass: Aspar the Star Chaser (the English title is still being finalized). While details are still scarce, fans recently got a first glimpse of the new anime, which you can view below.
Although the animated short is currently only available in stores, a clip of it quickly spread across social media, with many fans calling it one of the best animated projects in the series. While the official Base Shop account on X only posted an 18-second snippet, the full video was shared by user @Rata_5610 and rapidly gained traction among popular fan accounts. The animation style closely resembles that of ‘Fan Letter,’ which is likely why it immediately captured viewers’ attention.
Sherlock Holmes is famous for his brilliant detective work and his close friendship with Dr. John Watson. But what truly captivates readers is how boldly unconventional Conan Doyle made the character. Holmes’s behavior and backstory often seem eccentric, particularly by today’s standards, and the details surrounding him have grown increasingly rich and complex over the years.
Bittensor, with its fancy “subnets” (think of them as golden tickets for AI services), is set to halve its TAO token issuance from 7,200 to 3,600 per day around December 14. 🎟️ Grayscale’s William Ogden Moore (what a mouthful!) calls it a “key milestone in the network’s maturation,” as if it’s finally growing out of its chocolate-stained overalls. 🥼

Scarlett Johansson is likely to star in the upcoming sequel, and sources suggest she’ll be playing a villain – a departure from her well-known heroic roles. After years playing Black Widow, a character many consider to be one of Earth’s greatest heroes (alongside another Avenger), this will be a fresh challenge for Johansson and an exciting twist for fans. Interestingly, the actor who plays that other Avenger is also reportedly being considered for a role in the same project.
If you’re a fan of the comedies Daddy’s Home and Daddy’s Home 2, you’ll want to watch them on Netflix soon! Both movies are leaving the streaming service on December 9th, so you only have a couple of days left to enjoy them. The films are known for being over-the-top and funny. The first one follows Brad (Will Ferrell), a kind-hearted stepdad, as he tries to bond with his wife’s children, only to have his confidence shaken by the return of their cool and capable ex-husband, Dusty (Mark Wahlberg). The sequel sees Brad and Dusty working together to create the perfect Christmas for their kids, but their newfound friendship is threatened when both of their fathers arrive and stir up trouble.
Cryogenically freezing people after death is a popular trope in science fiction, but it’s rarely done in reality. A long-standing rumor claimed Walt Disney was frozen after his death, but that proved false. Recently, Simon Cowell discussed his own interest in cryopreservation with The New York Times. What was more surprising was not that he initially wanted to be frozen, but why he ultimately changed his mind.
