Branching Path: Resident Evil Requiem is a fascinating puzzlebox that faces the past with uncertainty

by

The recent Resident Evil games show a clear trend: Capcom is skillfully blending nostalgia with innovation. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard successfully rebooted the series by returning to the survival horror roots of the original game, after the more action-focused Resident Evil 6. This was followed by impressive remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, and then Village, which leaned into fantasy horror while building on the legacy of Resident Evil 4. The recent remake of Resident Evil 4 itself further demonstrated this approach, reimagining a classic for a new generation. Looking at these games together, it’s obvious Capcom is exploring how to revitalize established concepts. While all the games are strong, the mainline entries are where Capcom really tries to define the future of Resident Evil. Village ended by hinting at bold new directions, and with the announcement of Requiem, I’m excited to see if it delivers on that potential.

Coinbase’s Stablecoin Gambit: A Sevenfold Leap or a Regulatory Circus?

by

Bloomberg’s analysts, those modern-day soothsayers in pinstripe capes, Paul Gulberg and Samuel Radowitz, posit that Coinbase’s stablecoin venture-once a humble side act in its crypto carnival-now pirouettes toward stardom. In 2025, the exchange raked in $1.35 billion from these tokens, a 48% leap from 2024’s $911 million. Nineteen percent of its total revenue, they say? How quaint! As if stablecoins are the financial world’s answer to a well-timed punchline.

Survivor Season-Premiere Recap: I’m Fifty!

by

And there’s so much more! From forgotten hurricane evacuations and player injuries, to frustrating players like Phillip Sheppard and Russell Hantz, and heartwarming moments like Boston Rob and Amber’s engagement and Ethan Zohn playing soccer abroad, the show is packed with memories. We see Tony Vlachos’s elaborate spy shack and remember the shock of Cirie Fields being unexpectedly eliminated, all while Jeff Probst was obsessed with hidden advantages. These images flash by, a mix of old and new, leaving us feeling like we’ve traveled through time, like in Back to the Future. But instead of the past, we’re right here, right now. Twenty-five years have flown by, yet we’re still in the same place, watching the same show on a screen that’s become thinner and lighter. It makes you wonder, what have we actually done with all this time? We’re still watching Survivor.

Ethereum’s Desperate Deposit Dance: Panic or Plot Twist?

by

A recent missive from the alchemists of CryptoQuant reveals a curious sight: Ethereum’s deposit addresses to Binance have swelled like a tavern after a feast, leaping from 360,000 to 450,000-a number so grand it makes a pauper weep! Such a surge, they whisper, may signal impending doom, for what is an asset on an exchange but a coin waiting to be tossed in a game of chance? Yet, dear reader, is this merely a prelude to calamity, or the market’s way of saying, “Let’s play poker with your life savings”?

Al Pacino & Robert De Niro Turned a 1995 Crime Classic Into Cinema’s Most Untouchable Heist Flick

by

Film fans know that while Francis Ford Coppola’s sequel to The Godfather features both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, they never share a scene together. De Niro portrays a young Vito Corleone in flashbacks, alongside Pacino’s Michael Corleone as he takes control of the family. That’s why audiences were thrilled when the two acting legends teamed up with director Michael Mann in 1995, promising a direct on-screen showdown. The result was a landmark heist film – a grand, intense crime epic – which perfectly showcases the incredible talents of both actors.

Southern Charm Recap: Body Shots Fired

by

Craig keeps escalating the argument by repeatedly calling Venita a bully, which highlights why he wouldn’t be suited for a legal career. Simply accusing someone isn’t enough – you need proof. He can’t point to a single instance of Venita actually behaving like a bully. Whitner tries to get Craig to calm down, but he doesn’t listen. For the first time this season, Venita responds with anger and confronts Craig. The show then shows a series of clips explaining the history of their conflict, and they continue to argue. Craig claims Venita is constantly abusive, but it’s unclear if he even understands the meaning of the word, especially considering how little they’ve interacted all season. It’s hard to believe her behavior is ‘incessant’ given their limited interactions.

ETH’s $2k Gamble: Love, Death, and Institutional Whispers

by

But let us not mistake a tracheotomy for a resurrection. One must peer into the shadowed antechamber of ETH’s latest convulsion, where February’s sideways crawl near $1,920 and the botched attempt to plunge further into the abyss from $1,750 left faint fingerprints of desperation. A bounce, yes, but was it a sigh or a scream?
