Watching NFL football is usually exciting, but it can be really annoying if your favorite team isn’t playing well. It’s not often a laugh-out-loud experience, though there are occasionally some funny moments.
So, this is crazy – apparently two ex-Stew Leonard’s employees are saying the company messed up big time with security. They’re claiming a coworker was able to get their personal info and actually broke into their houses because of it. It’s a really scary situation, and they’re holding Stew Leonard’s responsible.
Firecracker popsicles are famous for their unique appearance and flavor, and with summer just around the corner, Oreo is joining the fun with a new release of its own.
Ys: Memories of Celceta first became available in Western markets on the PS Vita. Since then, it’s been updated for PC and PS4. A version released in Japan as part of the ‘Memoire’ series – which also includes Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – added the option to switch between the original soundtrack and a newly arranged one. Now, this updated version is finally available in the West. You can find my review of it here.
Today, a special Collector’s Edition was announced, including a Day One Edition and an Eclipse Edition with extra digital content.
Behold! The latest innovation in crypto: AI agents, because nothing says “future” like handing your money to a robot that probably won’t even send you a thank-you note. TON’s blockchain ecosystem is now part of this grand experiment in digital finance, where humans are reduced to glorified babysitters. Recent launches from firms (read: desperate coders with too much caffeine) suggest the world is embracing “agentic AI” like it’s the last slice of pie at a funeral.
Despite initial doubts, Gladiator II finally arrived in theaters in 2024, starring Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal. Connie Nielsen returned as Lucilla, and Denzel Washington joined the cast, bringing a lot of star power to the film. This combination of actors gave fans hope that the sequel would be at least enjoyable, and perhaps even receive positive reviews.
So, I’m really excited about Guild Wars Reforged coming to mobile! They’ve totally reworked the UI and controls for touchscreens, and the game itself will be free to download on both phones and tablets. It’ll be supported by ads, but you can get rid of them by linking your ArenaNet account and buying the add-ons. They’re pretty affordable – the first one is $6.99 and lets you carry your progress over from other versions. If you want the Eye of the North and Bonus Mission Pack, those will cost $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. The best part? If you already own Guild Wars Reforged on PC or another platform, you can just log in and keep playing ad-free without spending any extra money. It’s awesome!
Prediction market platform Polymarket, that master of regulatory brinkmanship, now treads cautiously toward the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as if waltzing with a bureaucracy that has already scolded it once. According to Bloomberg, the platform dreams of launching a “fully regulated” exchange in the U.S., provided it survives the bureaucratic gauntlet. This is, of course, its second bid to charm American users after they were summarily booted in 2022 for playing fast and loose with registration forms.
John Singleton, a director who grew up in South Central Los Angeles and graduated from USC film school, was known for authentically portraying the lives of young Black people – a perspective rarely seen in mainstream cinema before his work. He was also a versatile filmmaker, skillfully incorporating elements from various genres like road movies (as seen in Poetic Justice), westerns (Rosewood), blaxploitation films (Shaft), and thrillers (Abduction). Though he tragically passed away seven years ago at the age of 51, his impact on film endures. This week, three of his most celebrated films – Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, and Baby Boy – are being added to the Criterion Collection as his ‘Hood Trilogy,’ making it a fitting time to consider his complete filmography and how his nine features stack up against each other.
