To put it simply, I’m penning this down because who else but Goku and his companions have earned such a special place in my fandom heart? It’s unlikely that I spend my leisure time pondering over which Dragon Ball villain is superior or arranging the Dragon Ball Z arcs in order of preference… That would be quite melancholic indeed.
These days, it’s rare to launch a game without encountering a battle pass or some kind of live-service-oriented rewards system. The phenomenon really took off after the massive success of games like Fortnite and Call of Duty.

In this movie, Robert De Niro portrays George Mullen, a retired U.S. president who takes on an investigation. During one intense scene, the characters De Niro and Stevens find themselves almost touching noses as Mullen interrogates Green. According to Stevens in a recent interview for “Just for EbMaster” podcast, this confrontation was particularly effective because Mullen, a towering figure in the story until now, is suddenly standing before De Niro. It added an element of excitement to the interaction. The meeting, although not overly friendly, was exactly what one might expect – a touch of apprehension as Stevens felt somewhat intimidated by De Niro’s imposing presence.

This year’s Berlinale competition features only one documentary, “Timestamp,” which is the second film by director Gornostai following her first feature, “Stop-Zemlia.” The latter was a heartfelt coming-of-age story that won top honors in the Generation 14plus strand of the same festival in 2021 and had a multi-platform U.S. release the next year. Superficially, “Timestamp” might appear to be a departure from Gornostai’s usual style as it is an unscripted documentary, but the tender, compassionate perspective she brings to her subjects connects it to her previous work. The film’s beautiful visuals, captured by DP Oleksandr Roshchyn, also lend continuity between the two films. Above all, “Timestamp” underscores Gornostai as a gifted storyteller of youth and its complexities, showcasing her ability to portray both its struggles and its joy, even amidst difficult circumstances.
Players quickly expressed their annoyance about the noticeable delays encountered during the trial of the novel matchmaking system. A user named 2pacalypse1994 didn’t mince words, exclaiming, “Fix the delay!! I plan to repeatedly report this issue in the player feedback section.” It seems that many others share his exasperation, eager to start playing without being confronted by lengthy loading screens and questioning their decisions. Instead of an enjoyable gaming experience, several players have been struggling, describing it as if they were trapped in treacle. LetMeInFFH voiced their troubles, saying, “Well, my last five games had pings ranging from 28 ms to 60 ms,” which is not what most players anticipate. This inconsistency in connection speeds has driven numerous players to drop out of matches, claiming that it feels less like a well-crafted game and more like an unrefined beta-test.
