I first got into the Metroid series with Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance and immediately loved it. I’ve also been a big fan of the Metroid Prime games.

Ethereum (ETH), that charming altcoin, has once again proven itself to be the life of the party. With a staggering 7% surge today, it’s leaving many to wonder if it’s part of some grand performance or just a temporary burst of energy. 🤔
The recent rebound of Bitcoin ain’t no accident, say the number-crunchers at Cryptoquant. Seems the whales, those great leviathans of the crypto sea, have decided to take a nap.

Recently, the game celebrated its December 2025 Community Day, a two-day event featuring Pokémon from every month of the year. It’s a great way to revisit past events and gives players a second chance to catch those they missed. Now, with January around the corner, Niantic has announced the details for the next Community Day.
I went into the SpongeBob collaboration expecting disappointment, honestly. I’ve been burned by The Sims 4’s previous crossovers, like the one with Star Wars’ Batuu, which many players disliked. But after taking a break and getting some fresh air, I realized this one wasn’t bad at all! It wasn’t even messy or chaotic – it was actually pretty cute. Considering how The Sims 4 handles these kinds of partnerships, that’s a real success.
In the latest episode of “Crypto.com is making things complicated,” the platform has decided that retail users-aka, the little guys-will have to deal with a three-second delay when placing sports bets. Meanwhile, market makers, the professional traders with the insider knowledge (and probably a few too many monitors), are free to place bets faster than you can say “What happened to my money?”
