Prior to diving into the fifth season of You, the long-awaited finale of Netflix’s gripping serial killer drama starring Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, there were a couple of elements I had wished for. One such expectation was a brief appearance by Jenna Ortega, who portrayed Ellie Alves, Joe’s L.A. neighbor in You season 2. Ortega delivers captivating performances in every project she takes on, but her portrayal of this intriguing character on the consistently shocking series was exceptional. Given the desire among fans for certain characters to reappear, Ellie was someone I desperately wanted to see return.

In many video games today, it’s common to see the addition of high-tier Season Passes or Battle Passes. These allow players to unlock exclusive features that aren’t included in the standard version of the game. This premium system, with its different forms and nuances, has been embraced by numerous free-to-play hits such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. They provide unique content tailored exclusively for those who choose to pay.
In the fifth season, episode 4 of “You”, the intricate dynamics between Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley), his wife Kate Lockwood (portrayed by Charlotte Ritchie), and his newest love interest Bronte (Madeline Brewer) become even more entangled. This episode unfolds their complex relationships, leading directly into what transpires in episode 5.
Movie enthusiasts can get quite passionate if a film’s visuals don’t capture the essence of how video games play and appear. However, over time, movie adaptations have significantly evolved to cater not just to fans but also to broader audiences. In certain instances, it has been beneficial when these movies were produced by or in collaboration with the original game studios themselves.
The newly launched Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster marks Capcom’s return to their zombie-slaying series, which hasn’t been seen since 2016’s Dead Rising 4. Traditionally, the Dead Rising games adhere to a consistent structure, although it has evolved slightly across different versions. The game offers an open world for exploration, but the narrative and missions are time-bound. Failing to meet these deadlines means the player is barred from completing that mission for the remainder of their playthrough. While players aren’t forced to tackle every mission, mastering time management becomes crucial if they wish to experience the full game.
Unlocking the Cheshire Cat character in Disney Dreamlight Valley can be a bit challenging because it enjoys riddles and stirring up mischief throughout the Dreamlight Valley. Characters like Scrooge McDuck might get caught up in the chaos, and as the leader, it’s your responsibility to assist them and prevent the Cheshire Cat from causing further disruption. While it wouldn’t be unusual for the cat to complicate things for others, as demonstrated repeatedly in the original Alice in Wonderland, it was more of a nuisance than an aid for poor Alice.
In October 2024, the digital version of the Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game) called “Pokemon TCG Pocket” was introduced, offering enthusiasts of the traditional tabletop game a digital platform for collecting cards, constructing decks, and battling other players.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for news on when I can finally dive back into the world of Final Fantasy 7 Remake with the third game. Last year, Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that they’ve already nailed down the storyline for the next installment, and pre-production kicked off around June 2022. Hamaguchi also shared that he’s content with how development is going, and so far, there haven’t been any major hurdles to overcome. Fingers crossed that we’ll be able to join the adventure soon!
