Pokémon's promised ad spot at the Super Bowl just aired, and in it we got a glimpse into the Pokémon preferences of celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, Charles Leclerc, and more.

The minute-long ad shows Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, Formula One racer Charles Leclerc, singer Jisoo, actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Spanish football (soccer, for the Americans) player Lamine Yamal and rapper Young Miko all describing their favorite Pokémon before eventually revealing them.

Lady Gaga (of course) picked Jigglypuff, and Jigglypuff even did a brief little duet with her singing its signature song. Trevor Noah prefers Psyduck, Leclerc chooses Arcanine, Jisoo picks Eevee, Ramakrishnan chooses Luxray, Yamal picks Zygarde, and Young Miko's partner is Gengar. Shockingly, The Pokémon Company managed not to put Pikachu in this ad anywhere (except in the logo, of course)!

The ad ends with all the celebrities asking the audience, "What's your favorite?" This question is the start of a year-long campaign put on by The Pokémon Company in celebration of its 30th anniversary. In addition to the ad, The Pokémon Company is kicking things off by introducing a new camera feature to Pokémon GO (which is somehow ten years old this year!) that allows users to participate in the campaign.

Additionally, The Pokémon Company has promised various events including "Day Out" and "Night Out" experiences designed for fans to celebrate Pokémon, with daytime events more family-focused and nighttime events more for adults who grew up with the series. The Pokémon Company has also already announced other celebratory events, such as a themed TCG collection and Pokemon LEGO sets.

Pokémon's 30th is a big moment for the franchise, and we're expecting them to celebrate in style. Historically Pokémon has thrown a big digital showcase entitled Pokémon Presents on or around Pokémon Day (February 27), where the company lays out its plans for the year across video games, the TCG, and merchandise. Fans are eagerly hoping for the announcement of a new Pokémon game, perhaps a remake of beloved DS games Black and White, or the kick-off for the next generation of Pokémon, Gen 10. Heck, at this point, I'd just be happy to have the classic games on Nintendo Switch Online!

I've got mates who bounced off most full price games this year, not because they are bad, but because they ask for too much too soon. Time, patience, and a premium that assumes blind trust. My lists are the opposite of that. Below are the games that make sense now. They've (mostly) been patched, balanced, and priced into something honest. You know what they are, they know what they are, and the deal is finally fair on both sides. The only real maybe here is Alone in the Dark (but, hey, it's cheap).

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m using a firebrand sword’s blazing jab to light 14 candles on a cake baked for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a promising action RPG that went the way of dodos and discos. It was a money thing. Combat had snap, spells landed with weight, and the Destiny system let you reshuffle builds without punishment. It felt flexible at a time when RPGs were still weirdly precious about commitment.

Reckoning reviewed well and found an audience, but not a big enough one to repay the ambitious EA Games loan behind it, and that reality shut down 38 Studios before sequels could turn promise into a proper series. That still stings. The recent remaster does not rewrite history, but it does preserve a game that deserved more time, more trust, and frankly, another swing.

Super Bowl LX is over and the Seattle Seahawks have triumphed over the New England Patriots. While their epic battle was the star of the night, the commercials that surrounded the game were just as enjoyable.

To ensure you don't miss any of the biggest ads, we've gathered all the biggest ones right here! Oh, and if you're looking for the biggest trailers, we have a roundup for that as well!

Let us know if your team won and which commercials won your heart!

As the Seattle Seahawks took home the win at Super Bowl LX, movie fans were left with a smorgasbord of movie trailers for some of the biggest films of 2026.

Highlights from this year’s Big Game included sneak peeks at films like Disclosure Day, Scream 7, and Project Hail Mary, but the biggest surprise was probably Netflix’s first look at The Adventures of Cliff Booth. While Marvel was indeed a no-show this year, DC helped fill the superhero gap with a Puppy Bowl trailer for Supergirl.

From the surprises to the disappointments, we gathered every Super Bowl 2026 movie trailer for you to see below. After you’ve caught up on all of the movies coming soon, you can check out our collection of this year’s show’s best commercials.

Supergirl Trailer Sees Krypto Make Surprise Appearance for the Puppy Bowl

It doesn’t sound like Warner Bros. will show up for a commercial during The Big Game itself, but that didn’t stop DC from debuting a sneak peek at Supergirl for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. The 47-second TV spot puts the spotlight on Kara Zor-El’s superpowered pup, Krypto, and what appears to be their final days on Krypton. In between shots of the canine companion, who made his DCU debut in 2025’s Superman, we get a glimpse at some of what will likely be the film’s many action scenes.

Supergirl premieres in theaters June 26, 2026.

Hoppers Big Game Spot Shows More Animal Antics Ahead of March Release Date

Pixar’s Hoppers was one of the first movie trailers to show up for Super Bowl LX. The 30-second commercial reminds viewers of its person-turned-beaver storyline, while highlighting some of the other critters, such as snakes, birds, lizards, ants, turtles, and dancing frogs, that viewers can look forward to.

Hoppers is another creative universe from Disney and Pixar, and it comes to theaters March 6, 2026.

Scream 7 Slashes Into Super Bowl LX Ahead of February Premiere

Scream 7 is just weeks away from taking viewers (and Neve Campbell’s Syndey Prescott) back to Woodsboro. The trailer, which actually arrived just a few days ahead of today's game, moves the focus from Sydney to her daughter, teasing a Ghostface who is out for blood like never before.

Paramount Pictures takes another stab at Scream February 27, 2026.

Disclosure Day Trailer Gives Audiences Their First UFO Sighting

Disclosure Day is coming, and during Super Bowl LX, we got the next look at what that looks like. The second trailer for director Steven Spielberg’s UFO movie puts greater emphasis on the action without giving too much of its story away, as we see Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth trapped in a world that’s about to come into contact with extraterrestrial life.

Catch your first look at a UFO in Disclosure Day before it descends into theaters June 12, 2026.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Trailer Tames Tauntauns for a Snowy Sneak Peek

While mainline Star Wars movies take a bit of a break, The Mandalorian and Grogu is finally bringing everyone’s favorite pair to movie theaters in just a few months. Both of the film’s titular characters take centerstage for the teaser, which sees them using the force to trade off driving duties as they steer a group of tauntaun’s through the snow.

With gravelly voiceover from what sounds like A Star Is Born actor Sam Elliot, the trailer does a good job at feeling like car or beer commercial in a galaxy far, far away. It’s a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at The Mandalorian and Grogu ahead of its May 22, 2026, theatrical release date.

The Adventures of Cliff Booth Gets Surprise Teaser from Netflix

The Adventures of Cliff Booth, David Fincher’s unexpected follow-up to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, made a surprise appearance at Super Bowl 2026. The trailer for the Netflix project featured a Brad Pitt with long hair and a moustache and a lot of censored scenes.

It’s a brief look at one of the most highly anticipated films that did little to spoil its story. For now, viewers have only been told that The Adventures of Cliff Booth is “coming soon.”

Minions & Monsters Trailer Shows Despicable Me Mascots on the Hunt for Beasts

The first trailer for Minions & Monsters shows everyone's favorite little yellow menaces as they search the world for ghouls and ghosts. The two-minute video focuses on what appears to be a mini-Cthulhu, who joins the Minions as they encounter mummies, bunnies, and slimes.

“This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created,” an official description says.

Minions & Monsters arrives in theaters July 1, 2026.

Project Hail Mary Movie Trailer Teases an Emotional Tale from Ryan Gosling and Rocky

Amazon and Sony have published the final trailer for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s sci-fi epic, Project Hail Mary. Coming in at just under three minutes long, the full cut of the commercial sees Ryan Gosling’s Ryland Grace link up with Rocky, a small alien made of rocks who needs a little help communicating.

It's an emotional look at one of the year's biggest movies that's backed by Prince's I Would Die 4 U. The directing duo behind The Lego Movie will unleash their Project Hail Mary movie adaptation when it premieres March 20, 2026.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Gives Fans More Baby Mario and Baby Luigi

— The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (@supermariomovie) February 9, 2026

Universal Studios and Illumination may not have had too much more to share from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but the Mario Movie sequel still had a few seconds of footage to share with fans online. The Big Game TV spot sees Yoshi and Toad rescue both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi from t-rex before telling fans to wait for its April 1, 2026, premiere. It’s a scene we’ve seen a glimpse of before, with today’s sneak peek adding a few new moments, including a shot of Mario drumming the Super Mario Bros. theme on the sleeping dinosaur’s teeth.

No Toy Story 5 Trailer, But…

There’s a great story behind every original.👖
See the full commercial from @Levis. pic.twitter.com/tGtHP0M6wE

— Toy Story (@toystory) February 9, 2026

Pixar fans were hoping Hoppers would be joined by Toy Story 5 for the Super Bowl 2026 festivities, but Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Potato Head, and the rest of the gang spent the evening in Disney’s toychest – for the most part. While the animated movie icons are leaving audiences waiting for their June 19, 2026, release date, Woody found just a little bit of time to promote Levi’s jeans.

The clip comes in at a whopping four seconds long and is far from the full-on trailer many were expecting. Still, it serves as a (very) small reminder that the fifth Toy Story movie is still on the way.

The First Berserker: Khazan for $39.99

Introducing The Dark West, a hardcore action-RPG for PC set in a cursed frontier that got too greedy and paid the price. Occult skills and a poker-esque deck let you customize your build and blast through the black-magic-fueled foes of The Order and The Damned as you aim to be the last one standing.

Developer Black Hand aims to bring the community along with them at every step of development. “We made The Dark West because we love ARPGs and wanted to create the kind of game we have always wanted to play," the team said. "From the start, we've included the community in every step of development. Their feedback is shaping the combat, the story, and the world. This is a game made with players, not just for them.” Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.

Black Hand says that The Dark West will challenge "both your skill and sanity." It takes aim squarely at fans of Diablo and Path of Exile. There's no release date as of yet, but you can wishlist The Dark West on Steam if you're intererested.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in February, and that means Valentine’s Day is coming up soon. If you’re scrambling to find a nice gift to give to that special someone in your life this year, have no fear, we’re here to help you track down something that’s sure to make them smile.

These aren’t just the usual flowers and chocolates, either (although we have included links to some good traditional options, if your partner prefers that). In this list, we present a number of different ideas worth thinking about alongside those more classic picks, from sweet LEGO sets to puzzles, to co-op video games that you can enjoy together. It’s also worth noting that finding a good gift doesn’t mean dropping a ton of cash. There are plenty of different options here across a range of prices, so there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy.

The timer has started and there's not long left until the big day arrives, so now is your chance to add the gift idea that catches your eye to your cart so that it arrives in time.

Valentine’s Day 2026: Surprise Them With a LEGO Set

Personally, I’m a very big LEGO fan, and the Botanicals collection is definitely worth checking out if you’re looking to give a creative spin on the usual flower bouquets this year. Whether you want classic roses or the colorful new tulip bouquet, there are so many different arrangements to choose from. Plus, these buildable bouquets don't require any watering or looking after, which is a huge bonus.

These aren’t the only sets worth looking at, though. If you'd like something that the two of you can work on together, many LEGO sets can be constructed with a partner using special co-operative instructions provided by the LEGO Builder app's Build Together mode. This is a great way to tackle a bigger set with each other's help, but even small sets can be divided in two to create a quick afternoon project. There's some great sets that utilize this mode, too. We've included just a few of our favorites below, but it's worth having a full look at all of the Build Together sets for adults that are available. There's some great LEGO gift ideas for Valentine's day in there.

Jump Into a Co-Op Game Video Game

Similar to the LEGO sets above, booting up a co-op game is another excellent way to spend time together. Whether you want to gather your party and venture forth in Baldur’s Gate 3 or be transported into the adventurous worlds of Split Fiction, there are plenty worth checking out. Some are even plucked from our list of the best co-op games, like It Takes Two, Portal 2, and Overcooked 2 (which you can get as part of the Overcooked: All You Can Eat collection).

If you've ticked all those classics off your list and need something brand new, then look no further than Tarsier Studios, the studio behind the first two Little Nightmares games. It's releasing its next game, Reanimal, on February 13, and it supports couch co-op play. If you and your player two are big horror fans looking for something spooky to play together, it seems well worth a look. And it'll arrive just in time for the big day!

Piece Together a Puzzle

Keeping with the co-operative theme here, puzzles are also a wonderful project to work on together. From complex 3D puzzles to standard 2D jigsaws, there's so many different options to consider, with each offering their own level of challenge. There's also a variety of different styles to choose from, so you can find one with a final image (or 3D form) that you'll each enjoy. Plus, who wouldn't want a Pokemon Pika puzzle?!

Speaking of Pokemon, don't forget to browse the always adorable plushies out there, sure to capture your bae's heart! This one is like a 3D valentine in itself:

The Super Bowl is one of the most-watched live events every single year. Some people watch because they love football while others only care about the halftime show. There's also that not-so-small minority only really hoping to see some hilarious Super Bowl ads. Whatever your reason for wanting to tune in to the big game this year, you still need to find a way to actually do so.

Super Bowl LX takes place on Sunday, February 8 at 3:30 p.m. PT and will air live on NBC and Peacock. The easiest way to watch for free is to just tune into your local NBC channel, but since modern smart TVs never seem to have built-in antennas anymore, that may prove a bit difficult. Fortunately, there are a few slightly more complicated ways to watch for free in 2026.

How to Watch Super Bowl 2026 for Free Online

The most straightforward way to watch the Super Bowl online for free is to take advantage of a live TV streaming service free trial. Live TV streaming services are essentially an online version of cable and are actually quite expensive, but some of them offer a free trial for new subscribers.

The Hulu + Live TV Free Trial

It can be hard to find the right gift for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. If your significant other enjoys fun and satisfying projects, you might want to get them a LEGO set. You can even build it together. Here are some excellent LEGO choices for Valentine’s Day 2026.

AMD Ryzen 9 9900X for $381.71

Spoilers follow for Luc Besson’s Dracula movie.

Dracula hit US theaters this weekend, after already opening in some parts of the world last year (titled Dracula: A Love Tale in some markets), the latest in a long line of film adaptations of Bram Stoker’s classic novel which go back over a century at this point.

Written and directed by Luc Besson, this version is rather blatantly heavily influenced by Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It similarly extrapolates beyond what Stoker wrote by adding in the idea that Dracula’s prey, Mina, is the reincarnation of the woman he lost long ago, before he became a vampire. Like in the 1992 film, this Mina (Zoë Bleu) is drawn to Dracula (Caleb Landy Jones) when she meets him, and she eventually both remembers her previous life with him and actually wants him to turn her into a vampire so they can be together forever. In the midst of this, Mina’s fiance, Jonathan Harker (Ewens Abid), and others try to stop the Count and free her, whether she wants them to or not.

However, there are many places in the Besson film where the specifics change from both the novel, Coppola’s film, and indeed most versions of Dracula. This is an often wacky, heightened and offbeat interpretation of the story, with some additions that are sometimes amusing, sometimes baffling, and sometimes a bit of both.

Here are four of the most notable differences in Besson’s Dracula, including the details of Dracula’s ultimate fate…

The Biggest Changes in Dracula 2026

Beware the Perfume of Dracula

The range of Dracula’s abilities, and the abilities of vampires in general, is often different depending on who’s telling the story, but he is frequently depicted as able to enthrall or hypnotize those he’s in close proximity to, often setting them up to be bitten by him. Besson’s Dracula goes in a wild direction with this concept though, not making it an innate power of the vampire at all, but rather something he eventually can accomplish with… a magic perfume?

Yes, thanks to the help of a world-class perfume maker in Italy – who actually proclaims “Mamma mia!” at one point – Dracula has a perfume that bewitches anyone nearby who smells it. He wants this because he wants to draw pretty much every woman possible to him so he can try to find the one who is the resurrection of his beloved Elisabeta, who he believes he’s fated to discover.

This perfume is heavily featured in the film, including in a dance-filled (!) montage sequence showing Dracula attending one fancy function after another where the women all swoon and then break into heavily choreographed group numbers, as he’s continually disappointed that none of them are Elisabeta.

The perfume becomes such a focal point of the movie for a time that it’s easy to assume that it might be an important factor in the final act in some way - whether it is thanks to Dracula using it one last time, or another character getting ahold of it. But that assumption would be wrong.

What’s in a Name?

Besides the title character, the Besson film includes two other major characters you’d expect in any Dracula adaptation, Mina and Jonathan Harker, who at least match the basic framework of their classic roles - Jonathan as a solicitor who travels to see Dracula on business, only to learn the truth about the Count, and Mina as Jonathan’s fiance, who Dracula sets his sights on.

Strangely though, every other supporting character is given a new name (or, in one noteworthy case, no name at all) even though it’s clear who they’re based upon or meant to be variations of. So basically, they pull a Half-Nosferatu. Most prominent in this regard is Christoph Waltz’s never-named “Priest,” a seen-it-all guy who’s got plenty of knowledge about vampires and is ready to hunt them. This is clearly the film’s version of the famous vampire slayer, Abraham Van Helsing, albeit with a career swap from professor to priest. Given his abundant screen time, the decision to never give him any name at all in the film is odd, though this Dracula’s got plenty of odd to go around.

Typically, Mina’s longtime best friend in the story, Lucy, is transformed into a vampire herself as the story progresses. In the new movie, Lucy’s replaced by Maria (Matilda De Angelis) in what is a more drastic change-up than others. Unlike the innocent Lucy, Maria is in fact already a longtime vampire, working for Dracula, who inserts herself into Mina’s life. Then, Maria is locked up in an asylum thanks to her unexplainable, violent and out of control behavior, as her Dracula-adoring ravings essentially turn her into a hybrid of Lucy and Dracula’s usual true believer, Renfield, who has no other corollary here.

Maria’s fiance, Henry Spencer (David Shields), meanwhile is a substitute for Lucy’s fiance, Arthur Holmwood, while Dumont (Guillaume de Tonquédec) swaps in for John Seward, though there’s no character taking the place of Quincey Morris, with this version dropping the idea of Lucy/Maria having three competing suitors before she ends up with Arthur/Henry. In the book and some film versions, Quincey plays a pretty big role in helping defeat Dracula, but as we’ll cover below, this version of the film goes in a different direction there, so he wasn’t needed…

Drac’s Little (Gargoyle) Buddies

In most versions of Dracula, if the Count isn’t alone in his castle as the story begins, he’s accompanied by his Brides, who are typically three beautiful vampire women who do his bidding (and usually make things difficult for Jonathan Harker during his stay there). Besson discards Dracula’s Brides, instead replacing them with another left-field choice in the form of a large group of diminutive gargoyles who are there to serve their master in any way he needs, whether it be serving food, helping trap his prisoners or, in the final act, battling a group of vampire hunters storming the castle with a skill set that seems Black Widow-adjacent in terms of martial arts prowess and spinning larger guys around with their legs.

During the course of the story, we never really get an explanation for who these guys are and how they connect to Dracula’s status as a vampire. But then, in the final moments, after Dracula dies, there is a visual reveal of their true identity, as they stumble out of the castle, now transformed into a group of bald little boys, which is presumably their original form.

Of course, this still doesn’t truly explain things. Were these kids transformed into gargoyles all at once or one at a time through the years? And why are they only children? Their transformation back to human occurring after Dracula dies implies he personally had the power to change people into gargoyles, so did it only work on kids? And hey, why are they all bald?

Seriously, what’s up with these little gargoyle dudes?!

Dracula Ending Explained: Dead and Hating It

Unless you’re going to change things up radically, an adaptation of Dracula is going to probably end with Dracula being defeated and dying (even if there’s eventually a sequel that somehow brings him back). This version doesn’t stray from that, albeit with its own spin on how it plays out, involving Dracula making his own decision that he should die.

In the original Bram Stoker novel, Dracula is killed at the hands of Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris, while Universal’s iconic 1931 film version, starring Bela Lugosi, gave Van Helsing the honor of taking out the Count. However, Dracula simply allowing himself to be killed is not an entirely new idea, depending on how much the story leans into the tragic side of things for the character. In the Coppola film, Gary Oldman’s Dracula is very badly wounded – likely already fatally so – by Keanu Reeves’ Harker and Billy Campbell’s Quincey. So in the final scene, when he asks Winona Ryder’s Mina to “Give me peace,” and she tearfully obliges, it feels like he already wasn’t long(er) for this world.

Magic: The Gathering is continuing where it left off in 2025, rolling out a whopping four crossover sets under its Universes Beyond branding in 2026: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Star Trek.

That’s quite the mix, but at a time when fans are crying out for some consistency and continuity, Wizards of the Coast is about to make the same mistake it made with last year’s marketing cycle.

In short, it feels like it can’t wait to get Secrets of Strixhaven out of the way, forgetting why many people play Magic in the first place.

Magic’s Universes Beyond Sets Shouldn’t Come At The Cost Of Its Own Identity

There’s a running joke that Magic crossovers are the worst thing about the game until it’s a franchise you love, and as a longtime fan of Peter Parker’s adventures, I admit I bought into the Spider-Man hype last year.

It was easy to do, too, since Wizards started revealing cards and products super early, trampling over the Edge of Eternities set in the process. The rest, as they say, is history: Spider-Man was inarguably Magic’s most disappointing set of at least the last year (maybe longer), and Edge of Eternities was much more well-received but invariably didn’t get its chance in the limelight.

While I was hoping that Wizards would take some lessons from it, we’re now entering a 2026 roadmap with seven full sets planned. Lorwyn Eclipsed is great, and only just launched, but that’s January’s set. Preorders are now live for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Secrets of Strixhaven, and even Marvel Super Heroes.

That last set, by the way, is around five months from launch. While I appreciate that a company needs a line on a graph to go up to show success by bringing in new players, it’s starting to feel like Wizards of the Coast is trampling on Magic’s own legacy in its desperation to talk about crossover sets.

Lorwyn Eclipsed should be a celebration, a chance to return to a beloved Plane full of classic creature types, and instead, we’re getting close to the Turtles landing on store shelves. Looking past Strixhaven to a Marvel crossover, this early (and with the taste of the Spider-Man set still lingering), is just a bad look.

Please, Wizards - don’t let Secrets of Strixhaven suffer the same way Edge of Eternities is. It’s almost unavoidable with such a packed release calendar, but if you can’t pay enough time to your own universes, the ones that have captivated players for over three decades, does that not tell you a change is required?

Honestly, all of this is moot anyway - I’m part of the problem. I’ve pre-ordered some Marvel Superheroes products, and you can bet your Bilbo Baggins that I’ll be first in line for The Hobbit.

1. Open the Dress to Impress Roblox Experience.
2. Click on the handbag icon on the left-hand side to open the DTI Codes menu.
3. Enter your code in the "Type here..." field.
4. Check for any spelling mistakes or errors.
5. Click the checkmark icon to redeem the code.

Why Isn't My Dress to Impress Code Working?

If the code you're trying to redeem in DTI isn't working, it's likely because of one of two reasons:

• The Dress to Impress code is expired
• There's a spelling mistake in the code

When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn't a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We'd recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they're correct as we've tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.

If your DTI code still isn't working after checking for typos, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.

This article contains some spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3.

So, HBO is turning Baldur’s Gate into a TV show. On its own, that’s quite an exciting proposition: a big-budget, live-action series set in Dungeons & Dragons’ most iconic city? Yes please. But the project’s announcement, which came courtesy of Deadline, contains a line that immediately had me burying my head in my hands.

“The Baldur’s Gate TV series will be a continuation to the games,” says the report, “telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, as the characters — old and new — are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game.”

The ramifications of what events, exactly? The defeat of the Netherbrain? Or perhaps the enslavement of it in the name of the Absolute? Or Gale’s choice to turn into a magical nuclear bomb, sacrificing himself to save the city? These are just three of the many ways Baldur’s Gate 3 can end, and that’s before we consider the dozens and dozens of choices that you make on the way to that conclusion. There are approximately 17,000 variations of the game’s final cutscene. How could a TV show possibly “deal with the ramifications of the events of the third game” when every single player has their own version of events?

It turns out the “Mal Reynolds” who issued Steam game Void War with a DMCA takedown was not a troll who also happened to be a huge fan of Firefly. It was actually Warhammer 40,000 owner Games Workshop, which took issue with an image of a shoulder pad.

Last month, IGN reported on Void War, a strategy game dubbed ‘FTL in a Warhammer 40,000 skin,’ after it was pulled from Steam. At the time, its developer, Tundra Interactive, suggested it may have been on the receiving end of a nuisance DMCA takedown from a troll claiming to be Games Workshop.

Void War is often compared to both indie darling FTL and Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop’s tabletop wargame set in the grim darkness of the far future — and it’s easy to see why. The gameplay looks incredibly similar to Subset Games’ hugely popular 2012 ‘spaceship simulation roguelike-like,’ and the aesthetic is very Warhammer 40,000. The voidships look like Imperial Navy Vessels. Some of the characters look like Space Marines. There’s an actual Psyker that’s called a Psyker. There are “Imperial Shrineworlds.” There’s even a mention of “Imperial astrogation authorities.”

Following the takedown, IGN asked Tundra Interactive for comment, and it responded with something quite unusual. It said that it had received a takedown notice from Valve stating that Games Workshop itself had claimed copyright infringement. But here’s what made this one odd: the claiming information came from Games Workshop’s public-facing infringements inbox and the name “Mal Reynolds.”

Mal Reynolds is a name that will be instantly familiar to Firefly / Serenity fans, because that’s the name of the main character, played by Nathan Fillion, in the beloved but short-lived sci-fi show. At the time, it was thought that it was unlikely that Games Workshop would have someone on its books named Mal Reynolds. But, well, it turns out Games Workshop really was behind the takedown, according to Tundra Interactive.

Tundra Interactive told IGN that Games Workshop eventually replied to the developer to confirm it was their notice, and that the concern was limited to a specific shot from one of the trailers on the Steam store page that it said could give the impression that Void War was associated with Games Workshop. The company specified that the element in question was “the oversized convex shoulder pads with a metallic rim.” And, well, yeah, that Void War trailer did indeed have an image of a character who looked a lot like a Space Marine, complete with "oversized convex shoulder pads with a metallic rim."

Picture this: You just got a new high-refresh-rate monitor, you've upgraded your graphics card or snagged a top-end gaming PC, you plug everything in and fire up your favorite game and think: "is this it?"

We've all been there. As has, apparently, popular streamer Northernlion, who just discovered his 165Hz monitor has been set to 60Hz for who knows how long, maybe even a decade.

"It looks like your display has a 165Hz mode, but is currently running at 60Hz. Using the highest refresh rate your display supports is generally recommended for an optimal gameplay experience," Northernlion said, reading a notification that popped up when loading into a game of Counter-Strike. "Is this good?"

"It's gonna change your life, in a good way," one of his teammates responded.

The clip appears in Northernlion's stream from today, starting at around the 1:44:25 mark. Upon updating his refresh rate both on the Windows level and in-game, NL was blown away by the upgraded visual experience – which his hardware had been capable of all along.

"This looks incredible!" he said, a few seconds into his first match with the settings fixed, "It looks like I just got a PlayStation 7."

While it's fun to enjoy some schadenfreud that even someone like Northernlion, who obviously has a lot of experience with the platform, can fall prey to one of the pitfalls of PC gaming, let this serve as a PSA of things to look out for:

Besides making sure your monitor's refresh rate is properly set, another common mistake is not enabling XMP, without which keeps your RAM shackled to its base speeds instead of the overclocked speeds advertised on the box. And perhaps worst of all, make sure your display cable is plugged into your graphics card, not the motherboard's video port. After all, if you've shelled out the cash for a discrete GPU, you want to make sure you're not bypassing the card entirely.

HBO Max just picked up one of the more unique animated movies from the past couple of years. Boys Go to Jupiter technically premiered back in 2024 at the Tribeca Film Festival before getting a limited theatrical release in late 2025. The film, which currently sits at a 93% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, features a stacked voice cast with the likes of Julio Torres (Problemista director and star) and Eva Victor (Sorry Baby director and star), but has gotten the most attention for its unique art style.

Boys Go to Jupiter is the first feature-length film written, produced, and directed by 3D artist Julian Glander, who has previously produced shorts for Adult Swim and graphics for artists like Clairo and Dua Lipa. He also happened to develop the indie game Art Sqool. If you’re familiar with any of these projects, you’ll recognize the trend of Glander’s surreal, almost plastic-like animation style.

While Boys Go to Jupiter had a relatively quiet initial release, trailers spread on X after the announcement of the streaming release date. Users were quick to remark that much of the movie’s unique animation style is reminiscent of the art we often see in indie games. Others saw a more glaring parallel with the “corporate art style” made infamous by company logos and presentation decks over the past decade.

Either way, it’s still a unique style to see from a feature-length film, and a welcome addition to HBO Max’s animation catalog.

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further than Alienware's flagship Area-51 prebuilts. Following CES 2026, Dell has discounted an Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC to $5,049.99 after a $600 discount. The Ryzen X3D Edition is essentially the second generation version of the Area-51 with a more powerful CPU replacement from AMD instead of Intel.

Alienware Area-51 Ryzen Edition RTX 5090 Gaming PC

The Alienware Area-51 is Dell's flagship gaming PC. Unveiled during last year's CES, the Area-51 is a super-sized upgrade to the mainstream Aurora R16 system. The significantly larger chassis features more premium build quality and a redesigned cooling system with greater net airflow. In fact, this is the only model that Dell feels comfortable enough to equip with the hot and power hungry GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. The first wave of Area-51 systems featured Intel CPUs exclusively, with AMD X3D options only available since late November.

This particular configuration is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB or DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Additional system details include a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system for the CPU and a massive 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply that allows plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU for most people

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is considered to be one of the best gaming processors on the market and outperforms any Intel or AMD non-X3D chip in games thanks to AMD's 3D-V-Cache technology.

Although the 9800X3D is an absolute speed demon for gaming, it only has eight cores. If you regularly use your PC for non-gaming applications that benefit from as many cores as possible, then you can upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core processor, which doubles the core count while offering similar gaming performance, for an additional $300.

The RTX 5090 is the most powerful graphics card ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.

Not everyone is the DIY type. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of the best brands we'd recommend. Alienware desktops and laptops feature solid build quality, top-of-the-line gaming performance, excellent cooling (further improved on the newer models), aggressive styling, and pricing that is very competitive with other pre-built options. Best of all, there are plenty of sales that happen throughout the year, so it's not difficult to grab one of these computers at considerably less than their retail price.

Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware's newest mainstream gaming laptop is dubbed the "Alienware Aurora" and it replaces the previous generation's x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you're looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn't throttled for maximum gaming performance.

Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC Deals

The Aurora R16 is Alienware's bread and butter gaming PC. It can be equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card all the way up to an RTX 5080 and the prices for Cyber Monday are extremely competitive with other brands. For example, currently Alienware has the least expensive prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC that I've found anywhere. Most of these systems are customizable, however it's not difficult to upgrade your own RAM and storage yourself.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC Deals

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further. Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the Aurora R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns. The internal components have been refreshed with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and bigger power supply to accommodate the new generation of CPUs and GPUs. With a high-end system like this, it's only fitting that it be equipped with an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 graphics card, so these are the configurations I've listed here. Note that Dell Outlet refurbished PCs come with the same warranty as buying new.

Alienware 18 Area-51 (18")

Alienware 16 Area-51 (16")

The Area-51 is Alienware's new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.

Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there's plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.

Disney+ pricing has been a bit all over the place recently. The service raised prices across all of its streaming plans (including Hulu) last October, before offering a pretty solid Cyber Monday deal in November. Over the holidays, the streamer returned to its aforementioned increased pricing.

Fortunately for anyone trying to cut down on subscription costs this year, Disney+ has been one of the first streaming services to offer a real discount in 2026.

Live-action Masters of the Universe movie director Travis Knight has teased that Jared Leto’s Skeletor is “the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”

The filmmaker behind the live-action adaptation opened up about how he and the cast are reimagining He-Man and other ‘80s icons during a recent interview with Empire. Knight says he worked with the controversial actor to bring the infamous cackling sorcerer to life without sacrificing the qualities that helped him stand the test of time.

“Skeletor was a really interesting villain,” the director said when describing the original Masters of the Universe cartoon. “He looked cool. He was scary. He was funny. He was insecure. And then of course he had this distinctive voice.”

“I wanted someone to craft their own version of that,” he added.

Leto seemed like the perfect fit, with Knight saying the Tron: Ares and Morbius actor approached the Masters of the Universe movie team first “because he loves Skeletor and has his own history with the character.” With the film’s only full trailer largely keeping the muscly blue villain out of the spotlight, it’s unclear exactly what his version of Skeletor walks, talks, and acts like, but the director offered a few teasers.

“He wanted to swing for the fences,” Knight said of Leto. “And ultimately we landed on something that I’m really happy with. Skeletor’s kind of the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”

Outside of Masters of the Universe, the actor has remained a divisive figure in the entertainment world for years. While moviegoers were left split regarding his portrayal of characters like The Joker and Michael Morbius, curiosity became concern when it was revealed that he once sent his Suicide Squad castmates items that ranged from questionable to grotesque.

The 30 Seconds to Mars vocalist then became embroiled in controversy in June 2025 after nine women came forward to accuse him of sexual impropriety, with some being minors when they met him. Leto denied their claims and led Disney’s Tron: Ares just five months later.

For now, it’s unclear how much of the actor’s face will appear in Masters of the Universe, with the trailer showing a Skeletor that adopts the skull head from his most iconic incarnations. His voice remains a mystery, too, though it sounds like Knight has at least done his best to steer away from something too radically different in the past.

“I said, ‘F**k that shit. Skeletor has a skull face,’” Knight told Empire when referring to a previous design with a golden skull mask. “That’s just the way it is. It’s a living, talking, emoting skull, and that’s that.”

Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and is set to come to theaters June 5, 2026. For more, you can check out the Vintage Castle Grayskull playset that launched just last month.

Finally, Illumination and Nintendo have given people what they want out of teaser for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie: we've finally seen how the film handles Yoshi eating someone and pooping them out as an egg.

What, that wasn't your first question too when Yoshi was teased at the end of The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Okay, maybe I'm a bit juvenile. But it's a fun little stinger on the end of a new, 30-second trailer for the film released today. At the tail end of the trailer (see what I did there?), we see Yoshi face off with Kamek. As the two clash with each other in slow motion, Yoshi opens his big mouth and swallow Kamek whole, before turning his butt to the camera. We hear the "egg" sound effect, and then it cuts to a Yoshi egg wearing Kamek's glasses being flung into a cockpit, before Yoshi joints it in the driver's seat. It's very silly!

This wasn't the only new clip we saw. The trailer opens with Bowser Jr. yelling, "The great battle of my life draws near!", which we haven't heard before, followed by a clip of a bunch of airships (Bowser Jr.'s armada?) surrounding an ominous looking planet. We also get a brief look at Yoshi sitting on a motorbike saying "Vroom vroom".

Perhaps the most interesting bit apart from the egg is Peach and Toad getting a bit of a spotlight, journeying together in a neon-lit, cyberpunk city that appears to be just chock full of NIntendo references. The clips go by fast, so fans will have to do the detailed spotting work here in the coming days, but I immediately saw a big N64 logo in the shot of them peering over a balcony into the city.

Peach and Toad entering some sort of arcade-themed bar in a neon lit city, bar's largely full of Bowser cronies, looking out over the city, giant N64 logo spinning slowly on top of a building to the left side. There are also a number of pixelated figures in a bar (?) the pair visit just before, references to the old-school style of Mario games. Along with a gaggle of Bowser enemies all sitting around having a drink and looking astonished to see Peach and Toad burst in. I'm sure that'll go well for everyone.

Illumination and Nintendo have been trickling out the Mario excitement for several months now with teaser after teaser, giving us new voice actors, character appearances, and yes, tons and tons of references to just about any Mario game you can think of. We won't have to wait long for the rest, as the film drops April 3, 2026 in the U.S. and April 24 in Japan.
