The official Shonen Jump YouTube channel uploaded a new Jujutsu Kaisen “Strongest vs Strongest” Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna video previewing events contained in volume 25 of the manga. This comes ahead of the installment's January 4, 2024 release date in Japan.

You can watch the full "Strongest vs Strongest" video below. While there are no spoilers for what happens between Gojo and Sukuna during events in Jujutsu Kaisen volume 25, it does hint at the conflicts coming up. As a reminder, that volume begins with chapter 218. The last chapter to appear was 246 on December 24, 2024.

The popular Jujutsu Kaisen manga by Gege Akutama could come to a conclusion soon. At the Jump Festa 2024 event, the mangaka implied that it could reach an end in 2024. Before that, though, there’s more in store for the series.

After the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, studio release schedules got a little hectic. Major films that were expected last year, like Dune: Part 2, got pushed back to 2024 instead. Which means that this year, the film calendar is actually pretty packed. We’ve got classic January horror movies like Night Swim,…

The first Humble Choice games lineup of 2024 is now live, offering eight awesome PC games for subscribers to download and keep forever.

There's even some bonus DLC included this month as well.

The biggest Elder Scrolls to date, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, has now been completely remade in Unity thanks to a group of dedicated fans. It features a number of quality-of-life improvements and graphical updates to the classic 1996 RPG that make it well worth diving into for Bethesda RPG fans, as well as extensive mod support.

A group of fans known as the Daggerfall Workshop began development on Daggerfall Unity over a decade ago, with the goal being to provide an open-source recreation of the game in a more modern engine. That goal has now become a reality with Daggerfall Unity's 1.0 release. All of Daggerfall is included, but with new bells and whistles to make the game more accessible for modern audiences, including revamped first-person controls, support for high resolution monitors, more translation options, enhanced draw distances, and modern lighting that makes the game's retro visuals feel new.

Given how relaxing Netflix and Dwarf Studios’ Rilakkuma and Kaoru was, it seemed like Pokemon Concierge could be ready to also fill a cozy spot showing what life could be like with Pokemon. Now that it’s streaming on Netflix, it is truly an example of what everyday situations would be like in a world where Pokemon are all around us.

Editor's Note: There will be no Pokemon Concierge spoilers below.

Things start out in a very relatable way. Following a string of bad luck in her personal and professional life, Haru decides to start over as a concierge at a Pokemon Resort. It is a place where we see people visiting and trainers dropping of their Pokemon to relax.

Final Fantasy VII Remake gave fans of the original game quite a shock as Cloud and the party exited Midgar. Zack, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and a key figure in Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth's past, appears to be alive, and helped an injured Cloud reach Midgar. This stands in stark contrast to his fate in the original continuity, where he was killed and his Buster Sword was handed over to Cloud.

Tetris, one of the most popular and recognizable games of all time, has finally been "beaten." The person to do it more than 30 years after the game's release? 13-year-old Willis Gibson from Oklahoma.

Gibson uploaded a video of his achievement to YouTube, and it's quite a sight to behold. He is demonstrably overwhelmed with excitement and astonishment. He exclaims, "Oh my god," before saying, "I can't feel my fingers."

As you can see in the video, Willis reaches level 157 (the video labels it as level 18, though). At this point, the game freezes. Willis reached the "kill screen," which is the point at which Tetris is no longer playable because it was not designed to reach that level. Technically speaking, Tetris is unbeatable because it could theoretically go on forever. But Willis is believed to have just set a world record.

Tetris expert Vince Clemente told The New York Times that no human has ever gotten this far in Tetris before. Clemente said Willis did what was thought to be impossible. People have used AI to test the limits of Tetris and have gone further, but Willis stands alone in his achievement as a human in the game of Tetris.

His mother bought him a RetroN console and a CRT TV, and Willis plays about 20 hours of Tetris per week.

Willis is also a professional Tetris competitor and is one of the United States' most accomplished players. He placed third at the Classic Tetris World Championship in October 2023, and he's gearing up for another event in Waco, Texas later this month. Willis has earned around $3,000 from competing in Tetris tournaments so far.

In a recent conversation with Hobonichi’s Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto said that he feels like he “couldn’t do anything anymore” when working in games and recalled the process which led him to him becoming a producer at Nintendo.

When Itoi asked Miyamoto for the tentative title of this talk, Miyamoto submitted the title of "I couldn't do anything, so I became a producer." Both Itoi and Miyamoto recalled their work days during the Famicom and Super Famicom era, when developing games required fewer people and smaller teams.

The developer said that it was during his late 30s and early 40s that he felt like he was unable to do any game work without a team anymore, and at the age of 60 he became a producer. However, since projects require high-level experts nowadays, Miyamoto feels like he can’t replace or provide support at the same level, even as a producer. Miyamoto said his way of leaving his mark on a project is to help and make people think “I’m glad he was there” or “I’d like to work with him next time.”

In Lego Fortnite you will unlock many recipes as you play. These recipes can be used at different crafting machines to build various items, with more recipes being unlocked as you find new materials. Once you have found all of the needed materials for a craft, the recipe is automatically unlocked. Some recipes are locked behind certain upgrades and milestones, like upgrading the crafting bench or upgrading your village ranking. Below you can find every recipe in Lego Fortnite, sorted by the crafting machine the item is made at.

Building Recipes

While you can build custom structures using individual pieces, you can also unlock prebuilt structure recipes. These structures require a large amount of materials, but you don't have to do the work of making a unique structure.

Aniplex uploaded a promotional YouTube video from Aniplex promoting the sequel to the anime series The Irregular at Magic High School, and towards the end of the video, it reveals that the popular Japanese artist LiSA has been chosen to sing the opening theme song.

Back in January 2014, LiSA was announced as the artist to sing the first opening theme song of The Irregular at Magic High School. That song was her fifth single “Rising Hope.” A preview of this song is played for most of the promotional video.

Now, she has once again been chosen to sing for the anime’s second opening. A brief preview of the new song plays at the end of the video. It only comes in at about the 1:38 second mark, if you want to skip ahead and hear the new track.
