The market, those discerning arbiters of value, appear to be giving Bitcoin a small breathing space around $103,000 – $104,000. Yesterday, October 24th, 2025, it managed a modest upward twitch, reaching $109,474, a 1.8% gain, one presumes, celebrated with much glee by those who bought high and hoped for higher. This followed a rather more assertive 13% fall from that dizzying peak, a fall perhaps unnoticed by those who are already counting their hypothetical gains. 🙄

Amazon’s 3-film Stanley Kubrick collection has already sold out quickly this week, and it’s easy to see why – at just $24.49, it’s the lowest price we’ve found. Amazon expects to deliver these in mid-November. If you’re hoping to watch The Shining this Halloween, you can get the 4K Kubrick Collection for $25 from Gruv, which sells through Amazon. Prime members still get free shipping! Keep in mind that if the Amazon deal sells out again, the Gruv offer probably will too.
Just because Joshua Malina appears in an upcoming episode of Law & Order on October 23 (available to stream on Peacock the next day) doesn’t mean his character will die.

The comic book industry is increasingly using “blind bags” – sealed comics where the cover is a surprise until you open them. These can sometimes contain rare variant covers. Some publishers, like DC with their “Blind as a Bat” and “Lights Out” bags for Batman and DC KO respectively, charge extra for these mystery comics (the Batman variants were all foil covers). Other publishers, such as IDW and Marvel, offer them at the regular comic book price, simply adding an element of surprise to the purchase.
Steam wishlists are a valuable resource for video game developers. While not foolproof, they give developers an idea of how much interest there is in their game. A high number of wishlists can also help studios attract funding or find a publisher. Essentially, the more people who wishlist a game, the better, as Steam automatically notifies them when the game launches, a demo is available, or it goes on sale. That’s why many trailers, particularly for games made by smaller teams, end with a request to add the game to your wishlist – it’s a simple and effective way to support indie developers.
