In what could be described as a shocking reversal of expectations, Netflix has dropped out of the bidding to acquire Warner Bros. This is not what was expected by industry insiders, Netflix themselves, or practically anyone for that matter. Just to show how much Netflix was counting on this, they sent out a mass email to subscribers on December 6th 2025. It stated they were acquiring Warner Bros. and hyping up the addition of WB intellectual properties to their catalog. So, what happened? How Paramount Skydance Outbid Netflix The world of mergers and acquisitions is a complicated one. When Warner…

In 2017, video game developer and publisher, Electronic Arts opened Pandora’s box with their title, Star Wars Battlefront II. The game went so overboard on microtransactions and loot box purchases that it blew up their deal with Disney. They wanted exclusive Star Wars titles and brought legal scrutiny down upon the entire industry. The “loot box” controversy still resonates today almost ten years later. Now it’s taking shape in the form of a lawsuit being filed by the attorney general of New York State against another video game titan, Valve. Why New York Says Loot Boxes Are Gambling New York…

There’s an old adage that states, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” In other words, if something makes enough noise or fuss, it gets favorable treatment. Sometimes that backfires and the squeaky wheel gets hated and held in contempt, but Burger King didn’t see it that way when it came to people having issues with the Whopper. Now, for the first time in 10 years it’s getting some revisions. What’s Changing in the New Whopper? Hamburgers are deceptively complex in their apparently simplicity. It should be easy, right? You take a disc shaped patty of beef, put it between two…

Serious allegations have been made regarding actor Crispin Glover. What the Lawsuit Claims On Wednesday, February 25th, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California alleging that Glover groomed a woman, lured her into his home, and used her effectively as a maid and a sex slave. Included within these allegations are mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, controlling behavior, and abandonment. The name of the woman is being withheld but she reportedly began associating with Glover over social media since 2015. In 2023 they met in Germany where allegedly, Glover showed her items from his Nazi collection.…

Licensing agreements are the devil’s handshake. They are responsible for giving us and taking away from us, a number of games, music tracks, streaming programs, and so much more. Case in point, the X-Men arcade game from 1992. For years it was confined to arcades but eventually made its way to home consoles in 2010 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 digital store fronts. Then in 2013 it was delisted. But it’s coming back again with several other games in an upcoming collection! The Marvel Maximum Collection is an interesting assortment of Marvel related titles from the early to mid…

Resident Evil: Requiem is on the cusp of release and it’s getting some very strong reviews. This comes as a welcome relief with how the franchise has had some tremendous ups and downs. It seems like there’s a pattern where we’ll get a few great games in a row, and then something happens that tanks the quality. Poorly received spin-offs haven’t helped either. That’s why we want to take a look at the five worst titles the series has produced, with a couple of caveats. First, before we hit the list, you’ll be happy to know that this isn’t a…

A few months ago I had a though to myself. “I’m 40-years old, it’s midnight, and I’m waiting in a GameStop for Pokémon Legends Z-A to release.” I was 13 when Pokémon Red and Blue came out in North America and have played through every generation of titles since then. I’ve never big on too many of the spin-off titles like the Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, or the Detective Pikachu games, but I was big into others. I can play a mean game of Pokémon Pinball, got masterful scores all through Pokémon Snap, and dealt with both Game Boy Pokémon Trading…

We’ve all seen it before where certain items in supermarkets get the special “anti-theft” treatment. Certain medications, electronic devices, or other goods get tossed into a bulky, specially locked box to product them. It makes the items harder to carry and conceal and certainly makes a thief easier to spot outside the store. That dude with a hammer trying to crack open a plastic box with headphones in them? He probably didn’t pay full price for them. No, these protective sheaths are not foreign to us, but they are being placed on foreign chocolate. And that’s certainly a new twist!…

The murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner still hits home hard since that tragic day on December 15th, 2025. Losing a beloved actor and director is never easy and it’s made worse when another loved one passes as well. The extra layer of tragedy, as we now know more about, is how this crime was allegedly committed by their own son, Nick Reiner. It’s a case where the facts almost certainly point to the younger Reiner being the perpetrator of the acts. But that doesn’t stop him from entering a plea of not guilty in court on February 23rd, 2026.…

Sometimes you hear people complain about how we’re “too connected” to the internet and “not everything needs to be online.” These people are right. We have refrigerators, cars, washers and dryers, and even vacuums that are hooked up to the internet. It’s maddening the extent to which smart devices and online connectivity have taken things. More than that, it’s actually kind of dangerous. If that sounds like hyperbole, just ask the man who found mistakenly found himself in control of an army of robot vacuums. Sammy Azdoufal was a man with a simple wish. He had purchased a DJI robot…
