Even though 2025 isn’t over yet, Supergiant Games has a lot to celebrate! Their game, *Hades II*, is currently the highest-rated new release of the year, scoring a remarkable 94 on Metacritic. We gave it a perfect 5/5 in our review, and it seems many others agree – no other 2025 release has reached that score. Interestingly, it’s even one point higher than the already highly praised original *Hades*.
It’s typical for a hit show like this to announce a continuation soon after it finishes airing in Japan, but that hasn’t happened yet. The official social media accounts have only mentioned the season finale. While reliable but unofficial sources, like @MangaMoguraRE, suggest a special event is planned for November 1st, 2025, there’s been no official word. With the source material having over 160 chapters, there’s plenty of story left to adapt. Although a second season announcement might take a while, the show’s popularity suggests more seasons are likely.
On the 1-hour chart, XRP is pacing like a nervous groom at the altar, unsure if he’s about to marry the market or run for the hills. The $2.831 ceiling? Shattered like my trust in a “free” survey website. Now we’re stuck in this micro-range, which feels less like a trading opportunity and more like a TSA security line.
Fans of classic teen comedies can now enjoy *10 Things I Hate About You* on Prime Video. This beloved 1999 film, which helped make stars out of Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is a charming story about an unlikely romance. Set in the ‘90s, the movie follows Kate, a strong-willed and independent girl, and Patrick, a new student who’s paid to win her over – all part of a plan to help her sister date who she wants!
I enjoyed the original Pokémon games, but *Pokémon Ruby* and *Pokémon Sapphire* really changed how I played. Traveling between towns was fun, but could sometimes feel a little slow. Generation 3 introduced the Running Shoes, a simple but incredibly impactful addition – arguably the biggest change in Pokémon history. They didn’t just make the game faster, they made movement feel much more fluid, engaging, and up-to-date.
Amidst the intense action in the full trailer for *IT: Welcome to Derry*, there’s a surprising scene: the town of Derry covered in a strange, thick fog. This is the first hint that the movie might connect to another one of Stephen King’s scary stories, *The Mist*. Could these two tales be linked? And if so, how will the dangers from *The Mist* affect Pennywise?
HBO has certainly created excellent sci-fi shows. *Station Eleven* was a fantastic limited series that didn’t quite reach a broad audience, and *The Leftovers* is a truly great show, though it leans more into supernatural fantasy and mystery than traditional science fiction. However, *Westworld* felt poised to become a massive hit, earning both critical praise and a dedicated fanbase for years to come. I vividly remember being captivated by the pilot in 2016 and fully expecting it to be HBO’s next major success.
Ronnie Biggs was one of the robbers involved in the famous Great Train Robbery in England in 1963 (which is different from the film with the same name). He and most of the gang were caught within weeks and sentenced to 30 years in prison. After serving just over a year, Biggs escaped and initially went to Paris, then Australia, eventually making his home in Rio de Janeiro in 1970.
In Na’vi culture, a skilled warrior can earn the title of Toruk Makto by bonding with the formidable Toruk, known as the Last Shadow. Jake Sully, a human who became Na’vi, achieved this feat, earning the trust and respect of the Na’vi people, including Neytiri, who later became his wife. As Toruk Makto, Jake was recognized as the leader of the Omatikaya clan, completely embracing the Na’vi way of life and fighting to protect Pandora.
Watch out! Pulling nails from the wrong scarecrows will anger them. The nails are generally located on the scarecrow’s body between its neck and waist, so pay close attention while searching.
