Monster Hunter Wilds is on my GOTY list for a reason, but after a messy year I just want Capcom to wipe the slate clean with Master Rank DLC

by

It’s been ten months since I gave Monster Hunter Wilds a 4.5/5 rating, and I still feel strongly about that score. It’s easily one of my favorite games of the year. Since then, the game’s development seems to have gone back and forth. While Wilds is a fantastic combat-focused game with amazing boss fights and beautiful equipment, it’s also been held back by some inconsistencies. Capcom has had trouble deciding on a clear vision for the game, trying to satisfy different players and struggling with a PC version that, even after ten months, still doesn’t run well.

Madden 26 Week 18 Roster Update Release Date

by

Okay, so I’m predicting the Madden 26 Week 18 roster update will drop on Friday, January 2nd, 2025. Usually, these updates come out before Thursday Night Football, but since it’s the last week of the season, there is no Thursday game. Plus, with New Year’s Day being so close, there’s a chance it might get delayed a bit.

Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal Wakes the Dead

by

Genndy Tartakovsky considered ending Primal after its initial run. He initially planned to shift the show’s focus to new characters in an anthology format, even suggesting a title like Primal: Creation. However, he became dissatisfied with this new direction and decided to revisit the story of Spear and Fang. He realized the original story might have been cut short – only 20 episodes – and even wondered if he could bring Spear back to life after killing him off. He didn’t want a prequel, and whatever came next needed to truly feel like Primal. The idea of turning Spear into a zombie came up as a joke from someone on his team.

Hawkins Needs a Body Count

Throughout much of the final season, Stranger Things has seemed to rewrite its own story. We’ve seen Will gain powers and become even more central than Eleven, learned the Upside Down is actually a gateway to another world, and been introduced to a strange new wormhole – all after dozens of episodes. The Duffer brothers are essentially saying, “Actually…” and changing established ideas. It’s easy to forget the U.S. military even played a role in the story. However, despite these shifts, the show also feels strangely hesitant. Many characters seem stuck in repeating patterns: Will and Joyce constantly revisiting her promise to protect him, Hopper and Eleven endlessly worrying about her safety, and Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve caught in a love triangle. Aside from Will’s newfound abilities and his coming out, most characters aren’t progressing.

Crypto Chaos: Hype, LIT, and the Great Market Circus 🎭

But-ah, the audacity!-Messari’s Sam, that soothsayer of numbers, dismisses Lighter’s menace with a wave of his hand. “HYPE will reprice back to the ‘endgame perp DEX,’” he intones, perhaps smiling at the absurdity of it all – fee compression? Fear not, dear investors, the fun never ends.

Seeing Chris Hemsworth Back As Thor In Avengers: Doomsday’s Latest Teaser Has Reignited My Excitement

by

The initial trailer for Doomsday, featuring Chris Evans, was straightforward and depicted him seemingly living a quiet life with a baby. The latest trailer, which includes Thor, also centers on a hero and a child, but unlike the first trailer which felt like a pause in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s progress, this one clearly moves Thor’s story forward.

This Game With Rocket Trucks, Yakuza, And Sentient Mascots Is 2025’s Most Radically Kind And Empathetic Game

by

Promise Mascot Agency is a game packed with everyday tasks and errands. While exploring the island of Kaso-Machi – visiting run-down towns and farms – I met a lot of people who needed help. There was the English teacher working extra hours for free, the mechanic fascinated by the occult but always busy, and many others. I found myself doing all sorts of things, from sweeping shrines to offering support to a struggling barkeep, a farmer who used to be a streamer, and disillusioned young people. I was always ready to lend a hand.
