The Grade Shop lets you continue your progress between new games. Everything in the shop costs Grade, and you have a limited amount to spend. Don’t worry about saving Grade for later – if you spend it all now, it will be available again in your next playthrough. You can also turn off most of the features offered here.
Following the release of Tales of Graces f Remastered (developed by TOSE), Dokidoki Grooveworks has remastered Tales of Xillia. The PC version of Tales of Xillia Remastered offers flexible display options, supporting refresh rates of 30, 60, and 120 frames per second, as well as both 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. You can customize the graphics with settings for screen mode (fullscreen, borderless, or windowed), resolution, framerate limit, V-Sync, level of detail, and anti-aliasing (with options to turn it off, or use FXAA or SMAA). It’s worth noting that the game’s speed is linked to the framerate, so drops in performance will slow down gameplay. While the game generally runs very well (even on the Steam Deck), keep this in mind if you’re aiming for a smooth 120fps experience.
According to Burt Kearns, co-director of the documentary All the Presidents’ Movies, the White House screening room felt incredibly personal – like the president was inviting guests into his home to relax and watch a movie. Kearns and co-director Brett Hudson explored the history of cinema in the White House, using detailed records kept by Paul Fischer, the theater projectionist who served from the Eisenhower to Reagan administrations. Fischer meticulously noted not only the films shown – over 5,000 of them – but also who attended each screening, offering a unique look at pop culture’s influence on historical events. Following the recent demolition of parts of the East Wing, Vulture spoke with Kearns about the theater’s significance – it was far more than just a 42-seat viewing space.
In Macau, the film’s main character, played by Colin Farrell, feels like an outsider – a ‘gweilo,’ or foreign ghost, practically invisible to those around him. He narrates that this anonymity allows him to reinvent himself. The story’s central twist is that he’s deliberately playing a role: pretending to be a wealthy British lord named Lord Doyle. He adopts the trappings of the upper class – silk scarves, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a pair of leather gloves he claims are from a prestigious tailor on Savile Row. It doesn’t really matter if anyone believes his act; people are happy to take his money. However, by the film’s beginning, his funds are dwindling, and he’s trying to avoid paying the hefty bills he’s accumulated for his luxurious hotel suite and room service.
The recent books, much like the latest seasons of the TV show which covered Blood of Elves and Time of Contempt, heavily center on Ciri and her incredibly difficult life. This focus has largely removed the humor that used to be a key part of The Witcher. While others may feel differently, I really miss when the stories weren’t constantly about preventing global catastrophe. It’s tough to enjoy the adventures when everything feels so overwhelmingly serious and filled with dread.
Back in March, the Love Is Blind reunion show featured a performance by TikTok star Warren. While he was mostly known for his social media presence at the time, he sang his song “Ordinary,” which was just starting to gain popularity on Spotify. Many viewers took notice – and the song quickly became a hit! Billboard reported that the Love Is Blind appearance caused “Ordinary” to climb the charts, eventually reaching No. 1 on the “Hot 100” and becoming the song of the summer.

Nintendo confirms the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second when played on a TV. Online play will support up to 12 players, but everyone needs a Switch 2 to join.

As a huge movie and musical fan, I’ve been following the Wicked movie news closely, and it sounds like even the most dedicated stage fans are in for some surprises! Apparently, even with Stephen Schwartz writing two brand new songs, there are changes coming. The director, known for Crazy Rich Asians, recently told People why we won’t actually see Dorothy in the sequel, and it’s a pretty interesting reason…
