It’s difficult to isolate Lena Raine’s compositions from the games in which they appear; the pulsing electronica of Celeste is core to my memory of pushing through its grueling platforming challenges, and the tender piano melodies in Chicory: A Colorful Tale feel inherently tied to its story of artistic struggle. Raine’s work truly fits the worlds in which it appears, a testament to her songwriting prowess.

Donna Douglas, who died of pancreative cancer at 82 in 2015, was an honest-to-goodness Southern Belle who displayed a natural beauty and talent in her portrayal of the hollering, rope-wearing, whistle-happy, and critter-cuddling Elly May Clampett on the 1960s classic TV hit, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives.

Bloober Team, it’s fair to say, is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people like what they do quite a lot, and others, well, not so much. So when Konami announced the Silent Hill 2 remake in 2022, and that Bloober was making it, the reaction was not universally enthusiastic. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno acknowledged the apprehension but said the studio has come a long way over the years and expressed hope that fans will “give us a chance” to prove what it can do.

[Ed. note: This post contains spoilers for the end of season 2 of House of the Dragon.]. No one is sitting happily in the season 2 finale of House of the Dragon. Rhaenyra and Alicent have a fresh, uneasy alliance; Aegon is on the run with Larys; Daemon and Criston are preparing to face each other in battle; Otto is stuck in a dungeon somewhere. And yet few people have seen as meteoric a rise and tumble as Aemond, who across this season rose from prince to prince regent, seriously maimed his brother, and took out two dragons (with Vhagar’s help). Then he got blindsided by dragonseed, burned a town out of anger, and got dressed down by his sister.
