The crypto cosmos continues to shift faster than a goblin at a bank window. Coinbase, after a multiyear crypto hiatus in India (brought to you by the Department of Red Tape), is allegedly opening registrations again, per The List (formerly known as Techcrunch but now answering to higher powers). This is hailed as “aggressive growth” in a market where the only things growing faster are government tax demands.
The recently published Game File report is a detailed and interesting look at the history of the game. It covers Aspyr’s work with Disney and Lucasfilm Games over several years, as well as the efforts of the modders who first recovered lost game content back in 2009. Fans have been promised this content before, so they may be skeptical about any new announcements. A major issue in recent years has been giving proper credit to the original modders and making sure any content from the game’s original developer, Obsidian Entertainment, isn’t used in a way that could cause legal problems for Disney or Lucasfilm Games.
Walt Disney’s 124th birthday was earlier this month. Despite the large age gap, Dick Van Dyke says he and Disney connected immediately while working on Mary Poppins because they both loved making kids happy. Van Dyke explained…
Harder’s latest film feels more assured than his previous work, featuring even more visually appealing settings and a more intricate storyline. While his confidence sometimes leads to unbelievable scenarios, particularly regarding the character CW’s online skills, it mostly adds to the film’s lighthearted entertainment. Like his earlier film Influencer, this one doesn’t offer a deeply critical look at internet culture, though it does include some sharp observations and political commentary.

It’s so enjoyable that a third film, set in another exotic location, would be entirely welcome.
Shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, along with the new movie The Mandalorian & Grogu, are all part of a larger, connected story. This story is expected to lead to a team-up movie directed by Dave Filoni, which will largely adapt the popular Thrawn trilogy from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe – stories that originally followed Return of the Jedi before Disney bought Lucasfilm. Now, some fans are wondering if Disney is using this adaptation to address or revise aspects of the more recent sequel trilogy. But is focusing on this specific, older part of Star Wars lore a smart move, or is it too narrow a focus?
New research reveals that focusing on how large language models can augment human work, rather than simply automating tasks, is the key to unlocking substantial productivity gains.

It’s been a challenging year for Jimmy Kimmel’s show. In September, Disney and ABC temporarily paused JKL after criticism of Kimmel’s comments about the murder of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. After a week and a viewer boycott, the show returned, though some local stations owned by Nexstar and Sinclair initially refused to air it – they eventually added it back to their lineups after just four days. Now, Disney has renewed Kimmel’s show for another year. Here’s to that!
Celeste is widely considered one of the greatest platforming games ever made. It has received incredible reviews, surpassing classics like Super Mario World, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong Country.
Lots of shows have attempted to copy the look and popularity of Game of Thrones, but most haven’t done well. While a few have been okay, the fantasy shows that have succeeded usually stand out on their own, instead of simply trying to be the next Game of Thrones. Despite this, many shows still try to follow that formula.
