Inspired by the idea of reinvention, the network is developing a series that will bring together celebrities who have fallen from grace, housing them together as they attempt to rebuild their public image. … Read more
The GameCube boasts a fantastic library of beloved and timeless games. Super Smash Bros. Melee remains a popular competitive game even now. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were both visually striking and offered grand adventures. Metroid Prime innovated the first-person adventure genre, and Resident Evil 4 redefined action-horror. Games like Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Super Mario Sunshine, and Luigi’s Mansion showcased Nintendo’s classic style, while titles like Eternal Darkness, Tales of Symphonia, and Skies of Arcadia added even more variety and appeal to the console.
Imagine comparing the troupe of figures leaping through hoops right now to their performances in 2021, and wouldn’t you know it, they’re practically doing the same trick! The trader’s chart, which you must check out-don’t say you weren’t warned-demonstrates how Bitcoin has repeated its grand entrance into a distribution range, only to stumble, attempt a quick recovery, and eventually meet that pesky descending resistance. In both acts, Bitcoin tripped to a neat financial reset button known as the 0.382 Fibonacci level. It’s like it knows it’s on stage and likes to repeat its favorite lines, including the exact spot where it stops and looks around.
Nikita Bier, head of product at X (yes, that’s their actual job title, not a cocktail), spilled the tea with a chart that’s basically XRP’s glow-up montage. Since December 2025, XRP has been the Kim Kardashian of cashtags-always in the spotlight, always trending. And in early January 2026? Oh honey, XRP was serving looks that rivaled Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This week, it was really hard to judge who performed well or poorly because the challenge itself was so poorly designed. I was completely stunned and spent the entire 15 minutes just staring at the screen, finding it completely unhelpful. Only one contestant seemed to do anything noteworthy. The judges’ feedback on the runway didn’t make much sense, as it was unclear who had actually succeeded or failed during the challenge. Ultimately, the winner seemed random, and the show moved on.
Honestly, taking a chance on motion controls with the Wii totally worked. Wii Sports blew up and everyone was playing it, and Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl instantly made my place the go-to spot for game nights. But it wasn’t just about the new stuff – Nintendo really stepped up their classic games too. Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel were incredible, totally changing how I thought about 3D platformers. Zelda games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were massive adventures, and Metroid Prime 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles felt huge and immersive, especially considering what the Wii could actually do.

Alongside these successes, hugely popular multi-platform games like Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, GTA V, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare became defining experiences for gamers, shaping how they enjoyed open-world adventures and online competition.
If you enjoyed the atmospheric, character-focused mysteries of True Detective, you’ll find plenty of other great shows to watch. Look for crime thrillers that prioritize compelling characters and their stories over fast-paced action and sudden plot twists. These shows offer impactful narratives and create characters you’ll remember long after the credits roll.
This season, the show’s cast and crew are heading to the Château de la Messardière, a stunning castle-hotel in France. It’s a change of pace, as they’ve usually filmed at Four Seasons hotels. While they’ll be shooting all over the French Riviera and in Paris – potentially including a Four Seasons location – the castle offers a luxurious and unique alternative.
The Xbox 360 hosted some truly iconic game series. Games like Halo 3 and Gears of War transformed Xbox Live into a place where players loved to connect. Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 revolutionized online shooting games. Huge role-playing games such as Mass Effect 2, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dark Souls offered players unprecedented freedom and immersive worlds. Meanwhile, innovative titles like Portal 2, BioShock, and The Orange Box proved that clever design and storytelling could succeed alongside big-budget action games.
