Haki is a crucial power in the world of One Piece. It’s a spiritual ability that significantly increases a person’s strength, both in defense and attack. Most of the strongest characters in One Piece possess Haki. However, it’s surprising that not all members of the Straw Hat Pirates have it. So far, the author, Oda, has only shown four Straw Hats who can use Haki, while the rest haven’t even learned the basics.
The final episode of Embark’s docuseries, ‘The Evolution of ARC Raiders,’ explores the creation of the game’s AI enemies.

Netflix is set to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, bringing popular content from HBO Max and other Warner Bros. properties to Netflix’s streaming library. This deal also includes Warner Bros.

As a huge fan of film and TV, I’ve always thought Lost was something special – it really stuck with me, even though it wasn’t flawless. Ever since it ended in 2010, so many of us have been searching for another show that could give us that same feeling. It’s tough, honestly, there haven’t been a ton of options. But thankfully, we’ve gotten some really good mystery series lately, and if you were a Lost devotee like me, I think you’ll enjoy these recommendations.
Although it’s unlikely any anime movie will surpass Demon Slayer in popularity, several will still try. One major release planned for 2026 is the new That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime movie, based on the Tears of the Blue Sea Arc. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is currently the most popular “isekai” anime, and it’s already incredibly popular in Japan, potentially giving it a chance to compete with Demon Slayer.
Every month, a variety of new games become available for the PlayStation 5 – from major exclusive titles and popular games from other companies, to a constant stream of independent games. Usually, these games are released throughout the month, but next Monday, December 8th, will be different. Five new PS5 games are launching on the same day, which is unusual. It’s hard to say how this will affect sales, but it’s a noteworthy collection of games coming out all at once.

I have a lot of fond memories of playing superhero games, starting with titles like X2: Wolverine’s Revenge and the Spider-Man game released in 2000. More recently, games such as the Batman Arkham series, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine have really pushed the superhero genre forward. The last few years have been amazing for comic book-based games, but one game from 2003 still stands out to me. What makes it special is that it isn’t based on Marvel, DC, or any of the major comic publishers. It’s actually a Capcom game, and it was one of the first times I truly felt like a superhero: Viewtiful Joe.

Fans were already disappointed to see some popular games removed from Xbox Game Pass in 2025, but the recent price increase caused even more frustration. The price of Game Pass Ultimate jumped from $19.99 to $29.99, and the reaction was so strong that it overloaded the website with cancellation requests. Microsoft is hoping to make up for the higher price by adding more games to the service over the next year, and they’re already planning content for 2026.
