When it was released in the early 2010s, The Raid was a thrilling and innovative action film that had a big impact on the genre. It sparked a renewed focus on fast-paced, close-up fighting, a style we still see in action movies today. While Uwais is best known for The Raid and its sequel, he’s also been in many other excellent action films worth checking out.
First released in 1974, Dungeons & Dragons has been incredibly popular for over fifty years and has deeply influenced both tabletop and video game role-playing. While traditionally played with dice and friends around a table, recent video games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have introduced the game to a whole new audience. At its core, D&D relies on dice rolls – usually a 20-sided die – to determine success or failure. These rolls aren’t random, though; they’re based on the situation and a player’s skills. For instance, lifting something heavy might require a Strength roll, while trying to deceive someone would use a Deception roll, both modified by the character’s respective abilities. Considering how often players roll dice, it’s amazing that one person has been tracking their results for over five years!

I initially thought I’d get a Nintendo Switch 2 eventually, probably a year or two after it came out, once there were more games available and the initial excitement died down. However, after seeing the lineup of upcoming games, I realize waiting wasn’t a realistic option. The console is now a must-have, not just a future purchase. With so many promising games scheduled for January 2026 and beyond, I’ll be buying it for myself, and those games alone are enough to justify the cost.
The PS3 had its share of great games, but also a lot of games that weren’t well-received. Often, these overlooked titles didn’t get a fair chance. Sometimes they were criticized for being different from other games in the series, or suffered from initial technical problems.
