Dragon Quest I, II, and III recommended play order — HD-2D Remakes and originals

by

Putting business considerations aside, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake came out this week, and the extra content suggests Dragon Quest II is designed to conclude the story arc started in the remakes. Without giving away any spoilers, the fact that Square Enix rewards players with bonus save data in Dragon Quest I & II for having save files from Dragon Quest III on the same platform makes it a good idea to play Dragon Quest III first.

The Goonies Is Finally Getting Its Own Lego Set Next Month

by

If you love ’80s movies, there are a lot of great Lego sets available now. One of the newest and most fun is a Lego version of Gizmo, the cute Mogwai from the ‘Gremlins’ films. This Lego Gizmo is fully poseable, with movable arms, hands, and fingers. It even comes with tiny 3D glasses and a face that shows expression! And unlike in the movie, you can safely ‘get him wet’ without any trouble.

South Park Is Doing a Halloween Spooktacular at the White House

by

Kyle and Stan often seem to voice the opinions of the creators of South Park, so Stan’s concerns likely reflect what Matt and Trey are thinking. While this approach might be creatively challenging for them, it’s been very good for the show’s popularity. South Park’s increasingly political storylines have boosted ratings – the season 27 premiere, which focused on Donald Trump, was the most-watched episode in 25 years. The show even satirized Charlie Kirk shortly before his death, which he reportedly appreciated. The first episode after his death primarily focused on sports betting, but also included criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu. That’s three controversial political topics in a row. Perhaps Stan is right to be concerned?

The Curious Case of Ethereum and an Intriguing Double-Dealing 🧐

by

At the heart of this intrigue are Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, siblings whose actions, according to the prosecution, weave a tale of deception and cunning. They allegedly manipulated the ethereal threads of Ethereum’s expansive fabric to execute a trading ploy worth some $25 million in 2023-what prosecutors label a diabolical “bait-and-switch” targeting unsuspecting automated trading bots. Yet these charges are met with laughter most insolent by the defence, who argue they merely dressed in the garb of audacious trading strategies, themselves a product of blockchain’s labyrinthine design.

by

Der Kindestod: The Scariest Villain In Buffy The Vampire Slayer

by

Let me tell you, not all horror villains are created equal. Some are genuinely terrifying, while others… well, a couple of teens channeling a hyena god felt more silly than scary. But then, in season two, this thing shows up – honestly, it’s the kind of monster that would give even Buffy Summers pause. It’s seriously unsettling, and I mean really scary.

Janelle Monáe’s Cat in the Hat Is Real and Can Hurt You

by

Janelle Monáe made the costume even more impressive by staying in character – as the mischievous feline god – throughout the entire interview. She greeted everyone with a playful, over-the-top voice, somewhere between Amy Sedaris and Barney, saying, “Hello, children! Hello, grown folk! I love you!” When the interviewer tried to ask about the costume, Monáe playfully insisted she was simply being herself. Even when presented with photos of her dressed as E.T. from the previous year (which she admitted was even more frightening), Monáe, still in character as the cat, explained in a singsong voice that she could only appear on the show if Janelle Monáe allowed her to use her body.
