Buffy Meets Hannibal In the Cult Classic Detective Series Streaming Free on YouTube

1 Share

Before the streaming era, fans of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy stories had to settle for what was closest. In that time, The CW became an important channel for many, especially a generation of viewers who wanted to enjoy the traditional trappings of teen romance and drama with higher stakes, be that superheroes, vampires, or zombies.

If game developers steal one thing from No Law, I hope it's the open-world game's ridiculously detailed and realistic corner shops

1 Share

After seeing open-world imm-sim No Law last month, I'm sure the developers would hope I was gripped by memories of missions you can approach stealthily or in all-out action, the sci-fi combat where you wield slow-time grenades and cyberpunk implants, or even the powerful kick you can use to boot open locked doors. But, no, what I keep thinking about is the corner shop where protagonist Grey Harker, an ex-soldier on a murderous rampage to take down Port Desire's four corrupt mayors, stopped to pick up some batteries.

While the movie franchise is ending, Fast and Furious will live on as a TV show

1 Share

Fast and Furious may be saying goodbye on the big screen but it seems like this is not the end of the road. The hit franchise is coming to the small screen as a TV spin-off has been greenlit on Peacock.

According to Deadline, the show will be helmed by Mike Daniels and Wolfe Coleman, who are also writing the script. Daniels is best known as the producer of Sons of Anarchy, Pan Am, and Shades of Blue, where he worked with Coleman.

Very few details have been revealed about what the TV spin-off will focus on or if any of the main cast will reprise their roles, but star Vin Diesel did explain the move to the small screen earlier this year.

Speaking in May at the NBCUniversal Upfronts, Diesel said: "As you all know, we are very precious about these movies but over the last decade, we've realized that the fans have wanted more, they wanted us to expand the legacy characters, their stories, and for the last decade, the desire has been for us to enter the TV space."

He added that under NBCUniversal TV boss Donna Langley, he "knew that the integrity of the characters, the international appeal, what makes us all feel like family will be protected in the TV space."

Currently, the TV spin-off is expected in 2028, which is the same timeframe as the final movie in the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast Forever. Diesel recently said he went through four sets of writers to get that story right, but the result is an emotional farewell.

Marathon Will Continue to Have Extraction as a “Major Part” Even After PvE Comes Out, Says Director

1 Share

While Bungie has spoken about the future of Marathon moving beyond the confines of the PvPvE extraction shooter genre, the studio has now also noted that it isn’t just leaving the genre behind. In a social media post, game director Del Chafe said that “Extraction is still a major part of Marathon” and will continue to see updates in the future.

Concerns about Bungie potentially leaving the extraction shooter behind first came up with the studio’s emphasis on the permanent PvE mode coming to the game with the Symbiosis update in December.

“Last week we had a great time talking about the upcoming PvE and experimental PvP modes for Symbiosis in December. We want to be clear, Extraction is still a major part of Marathon, and we’re also going to continue updating it as we look to the future of the game.”

Chafe went on to ask fans of Marathon for feedback about “what you’re enjoying about Extraction today, what you think needs work, and what you wish was there.”

It is worth noting that, as part of announcing the future roadmap for Marathon, Bungie has said that it is aiming to create “connected PvE, PvP, and PvEvP experiences” that are bolstered by deeper methods of progression, expansions to the story, and other new content like zones and shells.

“Some players want a quick, lower-pressure run after work,” explained the studio at the time. “Some want to spend an entire night with their crew. Others want to test a build, compete directly against other players, chase a difficult challenge, or follow a strange clue deeper into the ruins of Tau Ceti IV. Marathon needs to support all of them.”

The Symbiosis update is also going to bring in other forms of content to the game, including an expanded version of Perimeter, a new shell, and general improvements to the onboarding experience to ensure that new players have an easier time getting into the extraction shooter.

“We know that rebuilding trust requires more than talking about the future. We need to share our work and clearly communicate what’s changing so the Marathon community has an accurate understanding of what each update will and won’t deliver.

“While we build toward December and March, we’ll continue making meaningful quality-of-life improvements and running focused experiments that allow players to participate without reorganizing their lives around limited windows.”

This move to focusing on larger updates is part of Bungie’s decision to move away from the seasonal content model that it was aiming for with Marathon. The studio announced in mid-September that this had also led to the Symbiosis update – originally slated for September 22nd – being delayed to December.

More details about the PvE mode haven’t yet been revealed, with Bungie noting that it still has to finalize some of its more minute details. However, the studio has promised that it will give us a look at the game mode before it comes out later this year.

In the meantime, Marathon is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Steam on track to earn a record $20 billion this year, analyst says after a massive September

1 Share

It's no exaggeration to say Steam is a big money-spinner for Valve. Bigger probably than many give it credit for. The store has long generated billions in gross revenue annually, and according to data from one analyst, this year might see the platform cross the threshold of bringing in over $20 billion.

These figures come from Alinea Analytics, which reports that Steam just had an absolutely massive September. In fact, it was the best on record for the company, raking in $1.6 billion, up 13% on 2025. Not too shabby.

Combined with the rest of the quarter, that's $5.5 billion, bringing the grand total for 2026 thus far up to $16.5 billion – once again, up 13% from last year. "Given the insane release slate for the rest of the year, it's safe to say Steam's yearly revenue will blow past $20 billion for the first time," Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea, says in a blog post.

Even without going any deeper, there are a lot of major games coming out this winter. Gears of War: E-Day, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and Hellraiser: Revival are among the heavy-hitters for October, while November brings Gravhounds and Edge of Memories.

The schedule's a bit lighter on the latter because of a little release from Rockstar, and before you suggest GTA 6 will do business for Valve's marketplace, remember it's not launching on PC immediately. Still, plenty of potential in new releases, and that's without considering how the likes of Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert, and Slay the Spire 2 will continue to bring in fans.

Alinea found that Steam's September was dominated by three games: Wardogs; Onimusha: Way of the Sword; and The Blood of Dawnwalker. A good mix, since two are fresh properties, and only one is multiplayer focused. Wardogs brought in around $86.9 million dollars during the month, not bad given it only started in early access on September 10.

Elliott mentions The Witcher 3 as a standout as well. The remaster is working as intended in drawing in players. "The Witcher 3 sold another 130K copies" across Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X on Wednesday, he notes. "The most it's sold in a day since The Witcher 3‘s first $3.99 Steam discount price back in summer 2024."

Expect that to jump again when Songs of the Past arrives next year. In the meantime, we'll see how Steam fares for the whole year. Rayman Legends Retold could be what tips it over the line.

Deadlock smashes Steam record following new update that brings in over 228,000 concurrent players, but Valve isn't done: "There was still a good amount of work we wanted to do on the core game."
