Dota 2 Meets Monster Hunter in Epic Crossover Event

Valve has unveiled an unexpected yet thrilling crossover between Dota 2 and Monster Hunter, blending the chaotic world of the Ancients with Capcom’s monster-slaying universe.

This Week in History: A look at movie reviews from the Orange Bubble

“Dick Powell scores pretty high with the dames, we are told, but he gives us something of a pain in the neck. Quite otherwise with Josephine Hutchinson,” reads a 1934 column in The Daily Princetonian.  That year, critics from the ‘Prince’ had headed to the corner of Nassau and Vandeventer to review “Happiness Ahead,” directed by Mervyn LeRoy of “The Wizard of Oz” fame. Despite its irritating leading man, the ‘Prince’ insisted that Princeton students watch the film on the Garden Theatre’s single screen if only to listen to three featured songs. The ‘Prince’ reviewed every film on the Garden’s marquee that week, as well as additional screenings at the since-shuttered Arcade Theatre.  Movie critics? At the ‘Prince’? In an age without Letterb...

Originals on the Road: Red Oaks Music Aims for EP Release & Shows with Congress

Red Oaks Music has set a clear pathway for the coming months, anchored by two major milestones: the release of their future debut EP and targeted touring with influential peers. The primary goal is musical self-sufficiency.  As Lane Whiddon explains, the release of the  EP will allow them to achieve their ultimate objective on stage. “Hopefully, we get some big momentum rolling and we get to the point where our sets are mainly our music and a few cover songs rather than mainly cover songs and a few originals,” he states. Dream Collaboration Becomes Reality Building on the success of their unexpected opening slot for the band Congress The Band, a show Lane calls “one of our best.” Red Oaks is actively seeking to forge deeper connections. “I’d love to do some stuff in the spring with Congres...

Final Fantasy Is Still Haunted By 1 of Gaming’s Weirdest Choices

In 1987, struggling game developer Square released what it thought would be its last title: Final Fantasy. Square hoped the RPG would help the company leave behind a legacy, but things wound up working out better than anyone could have realized. Final Fantasy proved to be an enormous success in both Japan and the United States, and it wound up launching a franchise. Nearly forty years later, Final Fantasy is still one of the most cherished RPG series of all time. That said, the people behind the franchise have made some bizarre choices over the years, and some have had lasting consequences. In 2001, a series of bad decisions caused Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi to walk away from the developer, forever changing the trajectory of the series. Final ...

60 Years Ago, Clint Eastwood Starred in His Best Western Film

The action genre continues to evolve, whether through the continued growth of CGI and AI, or those daring filmmakers who aim to deliver fisticuffs and shootouts with stuntpeople and practical effects in new and authentic ways. Looking back, many of the hit action films of yesteryear seem somewhat dated, but like any genre, some classics remain timeless and continue to pack a punch. Of course, it does not hurt when you have an icon like Clint Eastwood in the lead, whose cool and calm veneer has long made him the quintessential action hero. Building on the success of Rawhide (1959–1965), Eastwood's impact on action and Western genres was not immediately apparent. However, his subsequent success cannot be understated, starting with a series of movies that remain among his best. All the mov...

Which social media marketing is actually working in gaming right now? — CDC Gaming

Social media marketing still works, although the way it succeeds looks different than it used to. The brands that are growing their audiences in 2025 are steady, consistent, and intentional in how they show up. They’ve learned that tone and timing carry more weight than volume or flash. LinkedIn has become one of the most productive spaces for B2B visibility in gaming. The strongest accounts belong to people who work inside the industry and speak from experience. Short videos, written insights, and even simple posts that reflect what someone has learned attract more attention than polished corporate updates. A recognizable voice builds familiarity and familiarity builds trust. The audience wants to feel like someone real is behind the account. TikTok has continued to evolve into a place wh...
