A Twitter user named @TheDkmariolink recently shared these leaked images, which were quickly taken down – reportedly within a couple of days – because of a copyright claim. This likely means the leaks were genuine.
In the three days before D-Day, everything was set for the invasion except the weather. Britain’s top weather forecaster, James Stagg, faced immense pressure to deliver an accurate forecast, putting him in a difficult situation with Allied leaders. A bad forecast could doom the massive seaborne invasion, and any hesitation risked alerting German forces. Haunted by a disastrous practice run, Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, with only his aide Captain Kay Summersby as a confidante, had to make the final, critical decision. With just hours remaining, the outcome of the war and the lives of millions were at stake.
Perpetual futures, often called “perps,” are a type of leveraged investment that doesn’t expire. They’ve become incredibly popular, with over $61.7 trillion traded in 2025 – a 29% increase from the previous year. In fact, they make up as much as 90% of all crypto derivative trading, according to some reports. Until recently, traders in the US haven’t been able to easily access these investments, needing to use exchanges located outside the country or avoid them completely.
Ahsoka Tano has become increasingly significant in the Star Wars universe thanks to her recurring roles in shows like Star Wars Rebels, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. Notably, The Mandalorian & Grogu has hinted at a major future storyline for her, promising a reunion with a character after 19 years and tying back to her original on-screen debut.
Released on November 22, 1999, Donkey Kong 64 was a Nintendo 64 exclusive game from Rare, the studio that would later be acquired by Xbox. It aimed to build on the success of both Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country. While it received high praise and a Metacritic score of 90, some players initially felt it didn’t quite reach the same heights as its predecessors. Over the years, however, Donkey Kong 64 has become recognized as a classic N64 title. It also marked Rare’s last Donkey Kong game for over two decades, and the series wouldn’t see another 3D platformer until Donkey Kong Bonanza on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025.
If you consider it carefully, it becomes clear this isn’t a team effort – the idea of a ‘lone’ sniper should have been a clue. The scenario involves a lot of waiting in a safe location for the perfect shot, with enemies positioned so far apart they’re practically isolated. While it might sound good in theory, this setup doesn’t immediately translate well to a visually engaging movie. Sciberras’ task is to overcome that challenge and make it work.
While previous Spider-Man games let you freely explore a vast New York City, this new game from Insomniac Games is different – it doesn’t have an open world.
The announcement of God of War Laufey would have been even more impactful if it had come as a total surprise, especially since people have been talking about a possible Until Dawn 2 for a while. Still, I think Santa Monica Studio successfully took control of the reveal by showcasing a lengthy 23-minute video filled with gameplay, cutscenes, and impressive moments.
That crypto exchange your cousin won’t stop ranting about at family barbecues has gone and done the daft thing: they’ve launched pre-IPO perpetual futures for SpaceX, the very first product under their new “let’s regular people gamble on fancy private companies before they go public” vertical, running on their Coinbase International Exchange. The whole thing’s only open to folks outside the US, which is probably for the best – the SEC would have a fit so loud it’d blow the roof off their building and send all their paperwork flying into the Potomac.
For Variety’s Actors on Actors series, leading comedic performers sat down for interviews. The series brings together actors who are nominated for awards to discuss their careers, both old and new.
