McDonald’s Netherlands launched a unique holiday ad created entirely using AI. Instead of showing the typical cheerful holiday scenes, the ad humorously portrays the often-chaotic and stressful reality of the season. Developed by TBWA\NEBOKO, the ad exaggerates common holiday struggles – things that would be difficult or expensive to film with real people – and positions McDonald’s as a small source of comfort amidst the craziness.

For some time, there’s been talk that Leon S. Kennedy, the hero of Resident Evil 2 and 4, could appear in the next Resident Evil game. While sources like Dusk Golem have mentioned it, many fans haven’t been completely convinced because this insider’s predictions haven’t always been accurate.

To breathe new life into its classic game series, Capcom is creating both brand-new titles and updated versions of older favorites. This strategy is already in motion, with releases like the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in 2023 and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy in 2024. Now, fans are especially excited for what comes next – completely new games in these beloved series.

The brand shared a message yesterday – “Did you miss her? She missed you” – to build excitement for the TGA 2025 stream. During the stream, viewers will get an early look at what’s next for a beloved gaming series.

Every year, social media sites like to share summaries of the year’s biggest trends. While Spotify Wrapped is now a popular highlight for many, YouTube actually started doing similar year-end recaps even earlier with its ‘Rewind’ series.

An Indiana Jones video game has a lot to live up to. The franchise is well-established, having been around since 1981 in movies, TV, and more. Fans expect certain things, like swinging from whips, solving puzzles in interesting places, and, of course, fighting bad guys.

Nintendo released new updates for both the Switch and the newer Switch 2 yesterday, December 8th. The updates are identical and simply improve the overall stability of the systems, aiming for a better user experience. Interestingly, a similar update for the Switch 2 was released in September, and Nintendo has often been playfully teased about releasing stability patches over the years.

Neuro, an AI, quickly became a popular attraction on Vedal987’s Twitch channel while trying to play Minecraft Hardcore. Her unpredictable reactions – switching from intensely focused tasks, like digging straight down (which viewers compared to a termite!), to suddenly falling into water – were unlike anything a human player would do. I found myself, along with many others, starting to doubt whether she could actually succeed.

The Knight isn’t as flashy as some other troops like the Mega Knight or as powerful as a P.E.K.K.A., but don’t underestimate him. He’s a remarkably reliable and effective card, available from the very beginning of the game and still useful even at the highest levels. What makes him so strong? Simply put, he offers incredible value. For just three elixir, you get a unit that can take a lot of damage, deal solid attacks, and work well in almost any battle situation.

Indiana Jones is a beloved adventure series from the 1980s. The first three movies, created by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, are considered classics, just like their earlier hits, Jaws and Star Wars, and remain enjoyable to watch today.

It feels like a worthy continuation of that iconic series.
