Pope Leo XIV recently shared on X that technological innovation can be seen as a way to participate in the act of creation itself. He emphasized that developing new technologies comes with a moral and spiritual responsibility, as every design choice reveals our understanding of what it means to be human. The Church is asking those who create artificial intelligence to prioritize ethical considerations and build systems that promote fairness, unity, and respect for all life.

Sony announced that the show, featuring voice actor Yuki Kaji as host, will include popular games, unique indie titles, interviews, and fresh previews of upcoming releases.

Okay, so I was browsing at Tops Friendly Markets – it’s a grocery store up here in the northeast – and I totally freaked out! They had these adorable Pillsbury sugar cookies shaped like Yoshi eggs! Everyone remembers that little Yoshi tease at the end of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, right? Well, seeing these cookies makes me think Yoshi is definitely going to be a big part of the next movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! It feels like a confirmation, honestly, since Tops accidentally put them out early.

On November 9th, Mykel Crumbie shared the news that her father, Heard, had passed away after a period of illness. He had been hospitalized and eventually slipped into a coma.

I’m really embracing the messed-up sounds in this project, almost as a way to go against the grain. I’m constantly trying to take things further, to see just how far I can push the limits of distortion. I’m exploring the extremes – how much can I warp the sound before it stops being music, and then finding a way to bring it back from the edge. It’s about finding that sweet spot where it’s still musical, but totally twisted.

Okay, so in a lot of post-apocalyptic games, you spend a bunch of time scavenging stuff left behind by people who came before you, right? ARC Raiders is the same way – you’re constantly collecting things to get stronger and unlock cool new gear. I was trying to upgrade my Refiner to level 3, and I ran into a real snag trying to find Motors. Seriously, where do you even find these things?

Halo Studios recently announced that their final update for Halo Infinite, called Operation Infinite, will be released on November 18th. This update will add new armor, maps, and challenges to the game, and players will earn experience points at twice the normal rate.

On the recent Xbox Two podcast, Jez Corden predicted a future where both Xbox and PlayStation face competition from Steam. He believes Steam could release a new line of gaming machines – possibly called ‘Fremont’ – as early as 2026, potentially disrupting the entire console market.

Okay, so I was reading on the BBC about this crazy find – a bottle of Allsopp’s Arctic Ale from way back in 1875! Apparently, it was brewed in Burton upon Trent, England, specifically for Sir George Nares’ expedition to the North Pole. The really cool part? They made it to survive the insane cold up there. It was about 9% alcohol and packed six times the calories of normal beer – basically, it was designed to keep those sailors fueled and warm in freezing temperatures. Pretty neat piece of history, right?

The studio has officially announced the voice actors for the six members of the Ragdrops band.
