Columbus, OH

The new Sonic The Hedgehog 3 movie trailer gave us our first look at what to expect from the upcoming movie this December - and Sonic fans have a lot to be excited about. Shadow is on full display, voiced by Keanue Reeves. We also get a glimpse at the ill-fated Maria Robotnik. It appears #SonictheHedgehog 3 will be adapting the story seen in Sonic Adventure 2. For those not familiar with who Dr. Gerald Robotnik is, that’s Eggman’s grandfather - as well as Maria’s grand pappy. Jim Carrey’s gonna be on double duty, portraying both Eggman and the creator of Project Shadow. In the movie, we’ll likely see glimpses of the creation of Shadow and how he came to be warped by the loss of Maria. But the question a lot of #Sonic fans have is how is Gerald still alive in the movie? In Sonic Adventure 2, he was imprisoned and then later executed for his crimes. Well, it’s likely the movie plans on taking a different direction regarding Gerald Robotnik’s fate, possibly keeping him alive to set up more emotional stakes for Eggman teaming up with Sonic in #SonicMovie3. In the Sonic Adventure 2 game, which featured Eggman as a playable character for the first time, the scientist teams up with Sonic to stop a fail-safe his grandfather put forth that would see the Space Colony ARK on a collision course with Earth. Given Eggman’s admiration towards his grandfather, pretty much being the motivating factor for his own nefarious plans, the writers of the film probably thought it’d be best to keep Gerald Robotnik alive to set the stage for Eggman confronting his hero who’s plans for world destruction supersede his own intent of world dominance. Eggman even says in the trailer that if he can’t rule the world, he might as well save it - alluding to the events we saw play out in Sonic Adventure 2 regarding the ARK set to destroy Earth.

Check out an early sneak preview of Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's (Tower of God) Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 3, "Alien Elle." By the time the smoke cleared on the latest chapter of Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's (Tower of God) Rick and Morty: The Anime, a cross-dimensional smackdown between Rick and Mullet Rick cleared up who wasn't responsible for the Entropy Device – though they didn't mind using it. Meanwhile, Space Beth took the fight to the Galactic Federation – leading to a throwdown with Tammy. Speaking of… Tammy may have preferred being killed or captured compared to what was awaiting her during the post-credits – an unexpected reunion with Birdperson and Birddaughter. Did we mention that while all of this was going on, The President had to defend the U.S. from being invaded over the growing energy core created by Rick and Mullet Rick not being able to play nice with others? Whew! Okay, that covers all the major bases without diving too deeply into the spoiler pond… how about a look at what's ahead this week?

It's sounding like more live-action anime projects are likely on the way, as Crunchyroll and Sony are interested in developing some. The superhero well isn't exactly dry, as there's a whole ocean of IP to adapt from, but for Marvel, apart from its big success with Deadpool & Wolverine, the MCU has been waning in popularity since the release of Avengers: Endgame. That could be part of a broader superhero fatigue, James Gunn's new DCU will be the real test of that, but Hollywood quickly moved on to video game adaptations, with movies like the Sonic the Hedgehog pair of films and the Super Mario Bros. Movie all doing very well, and shows like The Last of Us and Fallout proving very popular. But there's another IP mine that Hollywood is clearly interested in tapping: anime.

I hope you aren't already sick of live-action anime adaptations, as Crunchyroll and Sony are certainly thinking hard about making more of them

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Sonic 3 Trailer – Release Time, How To Watch

Much like Capcom starting its Resident Evil remakes with the second game, Konami has done the same with Silent Hill - but the question is, why?. You would think that the logical way to remake a series is starting from the beginning, but when Konami finally revealed that the Silent Hill series was making a comeback, it did so by announcing a couple of new games, and of course, a remake of fan favourite Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team. It's that fan favourite point that is probably a big reason as to why it has received the remake treatment first, but in a recent interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Bloober Team's creative director Mateusz Lenart and lead producer Maciej Głomb offered some more in-depth reasons as to why it was that the second game is kicking off the Silent Hill revival.

Not sure why Silent Hill 2 is getting remade before the first one? Konami has a plan, apparently

This recipe is sooo tasty! It truly is for garlic lovers! It involves sautéing onions and mushrooms in butter and oil until golden, then adding wine to reduce. Garlic, thyme, and parsley are stirred in for flavor, followed by seasoning with salt and pepper. The dish is garnished with additional parsley and served warm, making for a savory, aromatic side. Here's what you'll need to make it:

Okay imagine this. A 26-year-old big, bearded man walks through Gamescom - having drunk three Red Bulls and smoked five cigarettes - and stumbles towards the Infinity Nikki booth. It's this massive, adorable set-up with rows of PCs along cutesy white booths. I hop right in, finding myself in control of a young lady, as well as her smug cat companion sitting in the basket of a rainbow-coloured bicycle. The proceeding hour has me create new dresses to wear, catch bugs, and clean various cats on the street. This might be the most out of place I've ever felt previewing a video game.

Infinity Nikki is just a nice open world, dress-up game with some real heart - so what’s the catch?
