Sega fremviser et unikt håndtegnet Sonic-billede fra Mega Drive-æraen
Det er måske ikke dagens største nyhed, men som et kulturelt bidrag fortjener det stadig at blive fremhævet, og vi formoder, at der er nogle retro-kendere blandt jer læsere, som virkelig vil sætte pris på dette.
Sega har uventet udgivet et gammelt håndtegnet billede af Sonic the Hedgehog, som er flere år gammelt (fra Mega Drive-æraen), og som de fleste nok aldrig har set før. Det viser Sonic og Tails midt i klatring, og billedet blev oprindeligt tegnet eksklusivt til Segas interne magasin – hvilket betyder, at det havde et meget begrænset publikum.
Du kan se billedet nedenfor; det er et fint tilbageblik til en svunden tid, hvor Nintendo og Sega var låst i en hård kamp om forbrugernes gunst, og hvor season passes, mikrotransaktioner og pay-to-win endnu ikke var opfundet. Sega bemærker også, at de gerne vil "dele flere illustrationer som denne i fremtiden, når muligheden byder sig" – så hold øje med deres sociale mediekanaler.
De stemactrice van Lisa Simpson vindt dat de show met seizoen 40 moet eindigen
Volgende maand gaat seizoen 38 van The Simpsons in première, een serie die in 1989 debuteerde maar eigenlijk enkele jaren daarvoor bestond als onderdeel van The Tracey Ullman Show. Sindsdien draait het nog steeds goed, en vrijwel de hele cast is nog steeds betrokken, dus Bart, Lisa en natuurlijk Homer klinken precies zoals we zouden verwachten.
Maar... Het moet op een gegeven moment eindigen, en er is veel gespeculeerd over wanneer dat zal zijn. Nu is er een theorie ontstaan van iemand met meer inzicht dan de meesten van ons: Nancy Cartwright. Toen de presentatrice hem direct vroeg hoe lang ze denkt dat The Simpsons zal worden uitgezonden, antwoordde ze "40," verwijzend naar seizoen 40, wat de duur is die Fox de serie onder het nieuwste contract heeft verlengd.
Toen haar werd gevraagd of ze echt zeker was van deze bomscoop, antwoordde ze simpelweg: "Dat is mijn mening." Dat betekent echter niet dat ze zelf de show zal verlaten als het verder gaat dan dat punt. Kort daarna legde ze uit dat "we doorgaan" zolang iedereen leeft en de show wil blijven maken.
Of Cartwright gelijk heeft, zullen we waarschijnlijk over een jaar of twee ontdekken. Desalniettemin wijst veel erop dat de serie nog minstens een tijdje zal doorgaan. Veel van de stemacteurs zijn echter al behoorlijk oud, zoals de 82-jarige Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Skinner en anderen), en het moet nog blijken hoe de makers hiervan omgaan.
Jem and the Holograms finns nu tillgänglig att streama på Prime
Om du växte upp under det underbara 1980-talet med alla dess ikoniska och kultklassiska animerade TV-serier som fortfarande går starkt idag, kommer du förstås att minnas Jem and the Holograms. Den sändes från 1985 till 1988 och berättar historien om skivbolagsägaren Jerrica Benton, som lever ett hemligt liv som superstjärnan Jem – komplett med en stor, knallrosa frisyr typisk för den tiden.
Hon och hennes band, The Holograms, hade otaliga hårda dueller med bråkmakarna i The Misfits och The Stingers. Eftersom Jem and the Holograms sändes i samma sändningstid som program som Transformers och G.I. Joe, tittade många pojkar också på det som tydligt marknadsfördes som ett program för flickor, något som har gjort att det minns med värme än idag.
Och nu kan du njuta av det igen. Alla 65 avsnitt finns nu tillgängliga för streaming på Amazon Prime. Det verkar som att Amazon vill påminna folk om hur cool den här serien egentligen är (Jem and the Holograms hade ett av 80-talets bästa soundtracks, och det säger en hel del), eftersom det ofta rapporterats att de just nu arbetar på en ny TV-serie baserad på originalet.
House of the Dragon showrunner teases "new dragons" in "a very worthy" final season of the hit HBO show
House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal says season 4 is going to be the best and biggest one yet... and we're waiting with bated breath after the season 3 finale.
Warning: Spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 8 below!
"We have an incredible season coming," Condal says during a press conference attended by GamesRadar+. "As crazy and big as season 3 was, I think Season 4 is going to be even bigger. It's a great privilege to be able to tell a story, and to be able to control and write the ending, and to control when and where that happens. This is not a given in making television, certainly. We're very excited to get back in. We have new characters, and new dragons and new locations all to come, that I think are gonna make it a very worthy final season. And I'm looking forward to doing it with one of my favorite people in the world, Emma D’Arcy."
House of the Dragon season 3 saw Rhaenyra slowly descend into power-hungry madness as she put on the crown and dared to stop anyone in her path who opposed. In the finale, Rhaenyra goes as far as to order the death of the High Septon, as he refused to anoint her as the true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Why? Because Aegon is still alive, and if that's not a "sign from the gods," then I don't know what is.
House of the Dragon season 4 will likely take us all the way to the end of the Dance of Dragons, the tumultuous civil war between Team Black and Team Green. I won't tell you what happens to Rhae in the books but, well, it's Game of Thrones. So, naturally, we can expect a largely unhappy ending for every single character (even the dragons).
House of the Dragon season 3 is streaming now on HBO Max and NOW. Make sure you don't miss the season 3 finale with our House of the Dragon season 3 release.
House of the Dragon showrunner explains why season 3 didn't include the revenge killing viewers were expecting: "That would be no fun"
House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal says Aegon had every opportunity to take revenge... but that it wouldn't have signified any growth in his character.
Spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 8 'The Dragon in Winter' lie ahead.
"That would be no fun," Condal says during a press conference attended by GamesRadar+, when asked why Aegon didn't kill Aemond when the two reunite in the House of the Dragon season 3 finale. "He's learned a lot in Season 3 here, Aegon. And even though he's still angry with his brother and has agendas, I think what he realized in his evolution is that he does deserve a lot of the things that happened to him, probably in some way, and, had to learn how to be a better king, and perhaps that… he needed to be away and walk amongst the people as a pauper.
"I mean, the irony of the season is that Aegon, now not in the proximity of the throne, goes on this incredible character evolution where he becomes a much more dimensionalized man, who is more sympathetic and possibly more suited to rule, and then Rhaenyra in the proximity of the throne, is turned and altered and somewhat corrupted by being in its orbit."
Because Aemond attempted to kill Aegon, his own brother, and his brother's dragon Sunfyre, one could conclude that Aegon then had every right to turn around and kill Aemond in an act of revenge. In House of the Dragon season 3 episode 8, Aemond himself even seems surprised when Aegon decides against it. Instead, Aegon suggests that he, Aemond, and Alys go find Vhagar and enter the battle themselves. However, we don't see Aegon and Aemond again in the episode after this moment.
Condal continues: "So, I think if Aegon had shown up and just killed Aemond, it really would not have marked the growth in the character. It's him seeing Aemond's change, and then realizing where he is standing with his dragon, and suddenly this incredible wind of legitimacy behind him, now that the realm is calling him the, you know, the second… he's basically… he's experienced a messianic return. I think it would ruin and spoil that for him to kill the person that's potentially his greatest and strongest ally."
It's also book-accurate, seeing as Aemond doesn't die until later on in the Dance of Dragons, during what's known as the Battle Above God's Eye. During the battle, Aemond, while riding Vhagar, and Daemon, while riding Caraxes, fight to the death – with Daemon ultimately driving his sword into Aemond's eye (presumably the good one). Aegon outlives his brother, sure, but then is ultimately assassinated via poison towards the very end of the war. Rhaenyra's son Aegon III then takes the Iron Throne.
Since the fourth and final season of House of the Dragon is expected to take us all the way to the end of the war, we can expect to see all of this play out in its true horror on screen.
House of the Dragon season 3 is streaming now on HBO Max and NOW. Make sure you don't miss the season 3 finale with our House of the Dragon season 3 release schedule.
