System Shock is now available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, after first launching on PC in 2023. The version for the new Nintendo Switch 2 will include features like Joy-Con 2 mouse support, gyro aiming, and improvements based on player feedback. You can watch the announcement trailer here:
A recent report from Bloomberg shows that prices for items in the popular game Counter-Strike—including guns, knives, and gloves—dropped by 25% in just two days, between October 22nd and 23rd. This happened after the game’s developer, Valve, changed how these items are traded. Pricempire, a company that tracks these markets, estimates the total loss to be in the billions, and their marketing manager, Ethan MacDonald, told Bloomberg he was surprised by how quickly prices fell.
Two videos, both titled “Power Up Your Holidays” and uploaded on October 15th, have surfaced. The first revisits the plant-based boss Carvex. However, the second video is more interesting – it highlights that the Switch 2 version will support mouse controls and run at 120 frames per second, and it also reveals a new, spherical boss character named Xelios.
The new Mega Rising expansion introduces powerful Mega Evolution Pokemon ex cards, including Mega Gyarados, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Altaria. Each of these Pokemon will have its own dedicated booster pack, giving players lots of new cards to collect. The cards themselves feature exciting artwork that makes the Pokemon appear to leap off the page, as you can see in the video.
I recently found out that Paul Rudd, who was just starting to become well-known back then, actually auditioned for a part in The Big Lebowski. Now I’m desperate to see that audition! It wasn’t for a main character like The Dude or Walter, but for the memorable and slightly awkward role of Brandt, which was brilliantly played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Man, Peacemaker Season 2 ended on such a crazy cliffhanger! We haven’t heard anything about Season 3 yet, but it sounds like we’ll probably see where the story goes next in other DC stuff. If you’re like me and totally hooked and need more Peacemaker now, you can actually play as him in a few games! He’s in Fortnite and some mobile titles, and get this – there’s even a mod for Arkham Knight where you can swap Batman out for Peacemaker. Seriously, it’s awesome!
Fans were understandably upset when CBS canceled two popular shows. Fortunately, the cancellations happened well before the final episodes, giving the writers a chance to create satisfying conclusions. While FBI: Most Wanted managed to deliver a strong finale, the final episode of FBI: International unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations.
At first, Gen V told its own separate story with only small connections to the larger plot of The Boys. But as the show has gone on, it’s become more and more connected to its parent series. As an example of this connection, Gen V has introduced a major character from The Boys.
Fans of Spy x Family recently learned about the difficult experiences young Loid Forger endured during the Westalis-Ostania war, which has changed how they view his character. This technique – starting with a lighthearted story and then introducing heavier themes like drama or tragedy – is common in anime. While some shows, like Attack on Titan, are dark from the beginning, and others, like K-On!, remain consistently cheerful, many anime effectively shift from light to dark, creating a sense of development and keeping viewers engaged.
To be honest, I still think the book is good, regardless. Even if the series is wrapping up in just two more issues, the storytelling feels focused and that’s not necessarily a problem. This issue, for example, effectively shows the main character preparing for the final showdown, and knowing this is truly the end actually makes the story more impactful—in a good way.
