2025 was an incredible year for fans of extraction shooter games. Titles like Escape from Duckov and ARC Raiders were massive hits, selling millions of copies and becoming incredibly popular on Steam. Adding to the excitement, Escape from Tarkov finally became available on Steam in November. And now, players have another new game to anticipate: The Midnight Walkers.

Behold, the inverse head-and-shoulders! A pattern so reliable, it’s practically a guarantee that your coffee will be cold by the time it resolves. 🕵️♂️☕ The neckline is near $4,000, a level that’s probably been a resistance since the Stone Age. 🌍
Given that Jujutsu Kaisen focuses on curses and powerful sorcerers, it’s no surprise the characters are incredibly strong. With two seasons already out and a third on the way, now is a great time to look at a list of the most powerful characters in the series.
2025 had an incredible amount of great TV, and I unfortunately didn’t have time to watch everything. I really missed out on two shows in particular: the highly-rated Andor from the Star Wars universe, and Max’s gripping medical drama, The Pitt.

The game remains popular not only because it’s fun to play, but also due to a recent optional reset that allowed players to start over with some advantages.

I first discovered FaZe Clan way back in 2010 on YouTube – they were all about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the time. They blew up in the Call of Duty community super fast, not just because they were amazing players, but because they were genuinely fun to watch. They quickly became one of the biggest streaming groups around, and then they started building pro esports teams for games like Call of Duty and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. But now, it’s pretty shocking to see FaZe Clan suddenly saying goodbye to some of their most popular streamers.
