  • Second Game Crash?

    Nintendo, once the company that saved gaming, is now facing backlash for filing patents that could let it claim ownership over common gameplay mechanics, sparking fears it could stifle creativity and harm both major studios and indie developers alike.

  • So… Doctor Who Just Regenerated Into Rose Tyler?

    According to writer Robert Shearman, the 15th Doctor’s regeneration into Billie Piper has basically put a full stop on the entire Doctor Who story. That’s a wild way to end things if he’s right. After all these years, do you think this is a fitting way to close the loop or does it feel more like the show’s run out of ideas?

Hello from Croatia!

Hey folks! I'm Ilija and I live in Croatia
I've gotten into anime when I was a kid. I'm a huge fan of Dragon Ball, and I've watched almost all of it except for some of the non-cannon movies.
As a kid I also used to love watching Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh.

I'd say I'm a person that likes to try a lot of different things which manifests itself in me liking a bunch of genres of videogames, movies, music, etc. so basically anything goes in that regard. I also like to keep a pretty organized list of things I wanna watch/read (currently have about 75 movies and 45 shows in my "To watch" list :o )

Nice to meet you all and have a great day!

Mark Hamill Says He Did The Mandalorian To “Finally Show Jedi Master Luke”

Mark Hamill just admitted the real reason he came back for The Mandalorian: not to ease fans into the de-aged CGI Luke, but to finally give audiences the peak Jedi Master we never got in the Disney sequels.

Hamill slammed the sequels for skipping Luke’s “middle chapter,” saying we saw him begin and end, but never in his prime. He praised Favreau and Filoni for “speaking the same language George did,” and saw The Mandalorian as a chance to do right by the character.

But what do you think? Did Hamill’s return fix Luke’s legacy or was it just a nostalgic patch on a much bigger problem?

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch

Netflix and Ubisoft are selling Splinter Cell: Deathwatch as Sam Fisher’s big comeback, but it already feels like a corporate remix. They won’t say if it’s canon, Kolstad’s out here talking about “ripping the spine out” of the story, and Michael Ironside’s been swapped for Liev Schreiber.

Yeah, the animation looks cool but is this actually Splinter Cell, or just another Netflix “adaptation” trying to be “modern and relevant”?

The first Infinity Castle movie delivers insane animation, huge fights, and heavy flashbacks. Some say it’s peak Demon Slayer, others think the constant pauses kill the momentum.

Pinocchio: Unstrung Childhood Nightmares, Upgraded

So, Jagged Edge Productions is really leaning into the destroy your childhood vibe with Pinocchio: Unstrung. They’ve taken the innocent wooden boy story and decided, “Hey, what if we made it sadistic, bloody, and voiced by Robert Englund?”

I’m curious, does anyone else think this could actually be entertaining in a darkly clever way, or is it just exploiting nostalgia for shock value?

The Deadpool & Wolverine vibe has faded, can Avengers: Doomsday change ANYTHING?

You won't catch me holding my breath for a fresh energy in the MCU, I'm with the crowd that sees Deadpool & Wolverine as a unique scenario that the rest of the MCU can't match. She-Hulk, the disaster of Echo and now the absolute faceplant called Ironheart, doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

What do you think? Will Robert Doomey Jr. running around in the MCU fix everything? Maybe a few Burger King burgers for good measure?

Adult Content Crackdown: What Does This Mean for Nitroplus and Eroge Fans?

So, Visa and MasterCard are increasingly refusing to process payments for adult content, especially Japanese eroge. Nitroplus writer Vio Shimokura is saying he still wants to make adult games and find ways to get them to fans, but it’s getting harder every year.

How do you all feel about this? Is it just the way the world’s going, or should fans and creators push back to keep these kinds of games accessible?

MF Ghost Season 3 is happening!

For anyone who hasn’t checked it out yet, this is the spiritual successor to Initial D, same creator (Shuichi Shigeno), and it carries that same high-octane energy, but set in a future where self-driving electric cars have taken over. The old gas engines only live on in the MFG, a street racing circuit on Japan’s highways.

What do you all think? Are you excited for this one?

Has Magic: The Gathering Lost Its Identity?

Over the last few years, Magic: The Gathering has shifted hard. Endless new sets, flashy crossovers with everything from The Lord of the Rings to Fortnite, and power creep that’s left older formats a mess.

Some fans love the constant flow of content and the chance to see their favorite franchises on MTG cards. Others argue the game has traded its unique lore and identity for brand synergy and short-term hype.

So where do you stand? Is MTG evolving to stay alive, or is it slowly destroying what made it special in the first place?
