Interest in Superman is at an all-time high. Thanks to James Gunn's Superman, which released last week to critical and commercial acclaim, fans are flocking to their local comic shops once again to see what the buzz is all about. For a deep dive into Superman's history in all forms of media, I'd recommend checking out Superman: The Definitive History hardcover encyclopedia. It's currently at its lowest price on Amazon ever, sitting at $102.22 (42% off of its $175 list price).

Superman: The Definitive History Is on Sale at Amazon

Don't Log Off is now available to buy or rent on digital.

Most of Don’t Log Off is seen through webcams and smartphone cameras, but it doesn’t start out that way. The first scene is a more traditional slice of horror filmmaking, following a young woman as she drives home at night. She gets out of her vehicle and then gets abducted, dropping her phone in the empty street. The camera slowly pushes in on the screen as though it’s in a tractor beam, and from there, we’re all digital. Unfortunately, this shift to the “screenlife” mode of Unfriended and Searching isn’t as dramatic as it could be, because Don’t Log Off often fudges and fails to justify its desktop POV.

Set at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Don’t Log Off picks up as a group of college friends gather on a video call to throw a social-distanced surprise party. They’re all having a grand old time, right up until the birthday girl, Sam (Brielle Barbusca), steps away to check on a delivery but never returns, leaving her webcam still running. COVID quarantine made us all do some wacky stuff, but even by those standards, her sudden disappearance is strange – no one’s even had the chance to sing “happy birthday” yet and the guest of honor’s stepping away?

The ensuing mystery-thriller vibe eschews the supernatural threats haunting some of Don’t Log Off’s screenlife predecessors, but it also sacrifices some of their versatility. The notion of a ghost in your machines is frightening because it could reach you anywhere with wireless reception, a luxury this movie doesn’t have. Unfriended might be a better movie, but it’s not like its characters are much stronger than the ones in Don’t Log Off – among them: the snarky one (Ariel Winter), the tech-savvy one (Khylin Rhambo), the one who does all the fake-out jump scares and makes a crack about the “Blair Bitch” Project (Luke Benward). The problem is that a single, earthly assailant hardly expresses our fears that we’re in danger even at home behind a computer screen. These goobers are all safe in their respective quarantines. To get them to wander, one by one, into harm’s way, Don’t Log Off has precisely one idea: go check on Sam at her place.

It works once. If I were feeling generous, I might even say it works twice, after someone goes to check on the person who went to check on Sam. By the third and fourth time, though, it becomes a farce, all the while maintaining a brave, “I bet it’s all a prank” face alarmingly far into the sort of movie where it is never a prank. I half-expected the characters to walk into Sam’s apartment and start tripping over a pile of bodies, because surely the villain had run out of places to hide them all.

Granted, the repetition doesn’t totally sap the tension. Call it the great boon of screenlife and its big brother, found footage: Peering into a fictional world exclusively through a cramped camera angle is inherently unnerving, and no amount of crummy writing or questionable acting can totally squash it. And Don’t Log Off has plenty of crummy writing and questionable acting: The cast are never once believable as close friends, and their stilted banter is much closer to that of jousting coworkers. But they’re at least believably in peril when they’re FaceTiming their way through a dark room.

Yet even here, the film’s execution does the format no favors. Beyond the IRL opening scene, Don’t Log Off aches for you to know it has been directed and edited: We’re constantly seeing zoomed-in views of relevant text or full-screen reaction shots from the characters’ camera feeds. Such flourishes feel pointless and awkward given how straightforward the few scenes of internet sleuthing are. Not only do they puncture the immersion, but they induce a headache. Headaches are a symptom of COVID-19, though, so at least Don’t Log Off was able to successfully transmit one “you are there” scare from its screen to ours.

It's only been one month since the live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon was released in theaters, but you can already watch it at home. The new Dreamworks adaptation has made its way to online platforms like Prime Video to rent for $20 and own for $30. Considering it has done fairly well at the box office since June, it's a little bit surprising to see it already on digital.

Nevertheless, if you don't want to watch the film in theaters, now is your chance to watch it at home for roughly the same price as a movie ticket and a snack. Our review of the film called it "incredibly faithful to the animated version in nearly every way," so you shouldn't expect any surprises if you've already seen the original. While you certainly can choose to purchase the digital version of this movie, I'm personally going to wait for it hit streaming – it'll eventually be on Peacock – before I give it a chance.

Where To Buy Japanese Pokémon Cards

Japanese Pokémon TCG booster boxes have far better odds at pulling chase cards, have far less bulk and are often half the price of English booster boxes. This also mean said chase cards are worth significantly less, but Japanese cards are far easier to get perfect grades in given they're always busting out of booster packs in perfect condition. Want a Pokémon card collection on a budget? Go for Japanese cards.

Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Preorders

This is it, the beggining of a new expansion for Pokémon TCG. Best Buy have gone live with their preorder allocation for Mega Evolutions today, which mean Target and Walmart won't be far behind. Here's all the links you need and good luck trainers!

Pokémon TCG Price Updates

I can't believe I'm writing this, but Amazon has quite a bit of sealed Pokémon TCG product for under market value. Whilst that unfortunately means it's still way above MSRP, some of these sets are at the best prices they've been in the last month.

Last Weeks Crashers and Climbers

As newer Pokémon TCG sets grab the spotlight, Paradox Rift is seeing its high-rarity SIR ex cards drop in value while several Illustration Rares quietly climb due to shifting collector interest and low inventory. Cards like Altaria ex, Gholdengo ex, and Steelix have dropped between 16% and 25%, while Illustration Rares including Morpeko, Plusle, Minun, Groudon, and Iron Valiant ex are climbing fast, with Morpeko leading at a 43% increase. This mirrors earlier trends where less flashy cards gain traction as availability tightens.

MTG Edge of Eternities Preorders

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Edge of Eternities, officially launches August 1 with preorders now live on Amazon for bundles including Play Booster Boxes, Commander Decks, and Collector Booster Boxes. Blending Magic’s iconic gameplay with science fantasy themes such as flying space whales and alien races, Edge of Eternities introduces four new mechanics: Void, Warp, Station, and Lander Tokens. Fan-favorite tribes like Eldrazi and Slivers return alongside reprints of coveted Shock Lands. Wizards of the Coast is gradually revealing more details, with a full card gallery arriving July 18 and prerelease events happening July 25 through 31, so now is the time to lock in your preorder if you want first access.

MTG Pricing Updates

It's a bit of a mixed back for Magic: The Gathering prices this week, so it's always worth double checking eBay before TCG Player and Amazon for a last minute bargain. Also, whoever thinks a Theros Beyond Death booster is worth north of $700 needs to have a word with themselves.

Cloud opens in U.S. theaters Friday, July 18.

Cloud, the latest film from director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, opens unassumingly enough: An emotionally aloof young man walks briskly into a small warehouse room filled with boxes of medical devices. After negotiating with the seller to buy their inventory for a steep, if not downright exploitative discount, the man drives off with the boxes in tow. Later, he sells them online at a drastic mark-up, reaping a hefty payout. What at first might seem like a dour opening note sets the tone for an unnerving psychological action-thriller about the dark, roiling nature of greed, hubris, envy, and irreconcilable rage at the heart of a world organized around the internet. In Cloud, everyone has a dark side when pushed too far. And I mean everyone.

This shrewd and unrepentantly unscrupulous reseller is Yoshii Ryosuke (Masaki Suda), and that opening is a snapshot of how he makes a living. The art direction expands upon this picture: Yoshii’s cramped apartment is cluttered with his dubiously authentic wares – a monument to his all-consuming obsession with drifting his way to the top. After moving to the countryside with his live-in girlfriend, Akio (Kotone Furukawa), the consequences of these shady business practices catch up with Yoshii: A growing number of disgruntled former customers, covetous onlookers, and violent former associates are hellbent on exacting revenge – be it financial or physical – on him. To survive, he must learn to think on his feet amid all manner of threats to his carefully curated life and the lives of those around him.

With Cloud, Kurosawa circles back to the focus of his 2001 cult classic, Pulse: the damaging societal effects of the Internet age. Only this time, there are no ghosts striking out at the living from the bowels of cyberspace; instead, the story – and the horror therein – is concentrated squarely on Yoshii’s actions. We watch in terror as the repercussions of his fast-and-loose behavior billow up around him like clouds before becoming impossible to ignore or escape. It’s a film about how the internet can both connect people and become a catalyst for conflict, magnifying the worst in us before the vitriol and violence inevitably spills out into the physical world.

Kurosawa’s aptitude for unnerving audiences through careful camerawork and creative framing is evident throughout Cloud, prompting us to scan every darkened corner onscreen, lest we miss a crucial, revelatory, or quietly horrifying detail. It’s a patient, meticulous brand of horror that later explodes into a cacophony of gunfire and a hail of bullets – this is an action film with a horror master’s touch. There are no real jumpscares to be found, that is unless you find yourself taken aback by the sheer lengths people are willing to go in order to harm one another when given the proper motivation or incentive. If so, then you’re in for two-plus hours of jolts.

Suda’s performance as Yoshii is positively chilling, his eyes surveying property and people alike with reptilian detachment, as if subconsciously totalling up the value and cost of each and every interaction. The few moments he does spare emotion – his pupils dilating and breathing becoming more shallow – are either when he’s on the verge of a huge payout or at risk of losing it all. He rebuffs promotions at his day job as at a clothing factory from his boss (Yoshiyoshi Arakawa) and get-rich-quick schemes from his former classmate (Masataka Kubota) with equal, unflappable disdain, remaining laser-focused in his own personal pursuit of wealth, comfort, and success – no matter how many how many lives and dreams he has to shatter to get there. It’s only when Yoshii’s own life spirals out of control that he begins to panic, frantically seizing on any and every opportunity to save his own life, up to and including taking someone else’s.

The road to Hell, to quote Virgil, is easy, and little by little Yoshii paves his own winding path to and through damnation. All the while, Kurosawa chillingly shows us how the actions of one person can impact dozens, if not hundreds of people, and the personal cost one pays in sacrificing the lives and welfare of others in the pursuit of securing their own comfort. By the time he gets there, Yoshii discovers that Hell is a far lonelier place than he ever could’ve imagined.

Small, portable and sometimes worth so much money that it would give even Pikachu a shock, rare Pokémon cards have increasingly become the target of theft and other crimes. Japanese news outlets Sanspo and Automaton recently reported that Pokémon cards and cash worth a combined total of 13,700,000 yen (approx. $92,000 USD, as per current exchange rates) were stolen from a trading card shop. The twist is that the third person arrested in this ongoing case is apparently the manager of a rival trading card store nearby.

The robbery happened on June 16 at around 3:30 a.m. at Card Shop Masters in central Japan’s Gifu Prefecture. Two men in their 30s were later arrested for breaking and entering. According to the Sanspo article, one of the men is suspected of threatening the owners with a knife before taking the cards and cash. On July 9, a third person, allegedly the owner of a nearby trading card store, was arrested on suspicion of being an accomplice in the robbery, although according to police, he has yet to confess or deny his involvement.

The shop that was robbed has been posting about the situation on its X account, revealing the alleged identity of the third suspect as the manager of a rival store. They have also been appealing for information and calling for other people who were involved to give themselves up immediately.

“There’s no use thinking you won’t get caught. We will definitely catch everyone.” they said in a post on July 10, which has since attracted over 1 million views. Commenters expressed sympathy with the victim, and shock that someone would rob a shop in the same line of work.

Incidentally, there was a similar Pokémon card robbery that took place in Japan last year. Back in September, two men broke into a trading card seller in Osaka, also at 3:30 a.m. They threatened an employee (who had just been livestreaming a card sale) with a knife, tied them up and then took over 100 cards (worth over 10 million yen or around $67,000) as well as 250,000 yen (around $1,700) in cash (source: Kochi Shimbun).

Rare Pokémon cards have become a target for heists in other countries too. In February, Australia’s ABC News reported on a string of Pokémon card thefts across stores in Melbourne. Just last week, a store in Massachusetts, USA, had more than $100,000 worth of cards stolen in an early morning break-in (source: The New York Times).

Last week, we learned ARK: Aquatica — the new expansion for ARK: Survival Evolved — finally received a firm release date: July 15 (that's today!), and to celebrate the launch, Snail Games has dropped an all-new official trailer, this time showing off what to expect from the game.

Snail Games announced its "in-house developed new expansion map, ARK: Aquatica" at GDC in March. The studio described the expansion as a non-canonical side story to ARK in “an ambitious underwater setting featuring 95% of gameplay taking place beneath the surface."

However, the ARK: Survival Evolved expansion trailer released alongside the announcement was resoundingly condemned after fans discovered evidence of generative AI imagery, and the follow-up 11-second trailer released last week really didn't show us very much at all.

Now, however, a brand-new launch trailer is available to tempt you into picking up the expansion today. It shows off a selection of dinosaurs — both the aquatic and dry-land types — and how they exist alongside a tribe of humans, who can use their prehistoric companions to get around both on dry land and via what appears to be wind funnels beneath the waves.

Not all of the creatures you bump into are friendly, though, so we're also treated to a little combat, too, as well as some truly stunning underwater vistas.

ARK: Aquatica introduces the first submerged ARK with above-water islands, "challenging players with new survival mechanics, extreme environmental hazards, a huge explorable map area, and unique gameplay elements." The underwater biome adds 21 new tameable creatures, 74 new Engrams — including seven tek Engrams — and underwater survival thanks to features like air pockets and propulsion vehicles. Expect new characters and a "narrative connecting multiple ARKs."

ARK: Aquatica is available exclusively on PC via Steam. For the first two weeks of release, players can pick it up for $8.99 — that's 40% off the recommended retail price. A new ARK: New Depths Bundle, which features both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Aquatica Expansion Map, is also on sale at a 20% discount.

Why a Kindle Is Worth the Investment

I've been rocking the Kindle since the earliest model was available, and not only do I prefer it to any other method of reading, I've found myself reading more than I would have with traditional paper books. Not that there's anything wrong with reading from a traditional book, I just personally appreciate the ease of use and form factor afforded me by the Kindle.

Since the Kindles use e-ink instead of traditional screens like your phone or iPad, they can be read in just about any lighting. In fact, the pages look like actual paper pages, so any artificial light or even bright sunlight are no factor when using the Kindle. It only uses energy when you turn the page, use the backlight or leave Wi-Fi turned on, so if you go into Airplane mode you can go weeks, even months, between charging your Kindle. Generally I go long enough to completely forget where I put my charging cable.

The Sonic the Hedgehog crossover with Magic: The Gathering's boutique Secret Lair drops went live yesterday, and it was predictably popular. Eager fans swarmed the site, and now, scalpers are already selling some of the product online at a mark-up.

Secret Lair is Magic: The Gathering's special collection of rare and unique cards, with either brand-new designs or special reprints of classic cards. For Sonic, the Blue Blur got three different sets of cards. The Friends & Foes collection featured new cards that could, presumably, be Commanders for Sonic-focused Commander decks, like Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, and Shadow. Turbo Gear and Chasing Adventure, meanwhile, were reprints of cards like Lightning Greaves and Unexpected Windfall with Sonic-styled card art.

When the set went live at 9am PT yesterday, a queue formed and quickly ramped up. There were limits in place, presumably to prevent people from mass-purchasing and flipping the goods. Still, it shouldn't be a surprise that a few card sets have found their way onto eBay already, at a marked-up price.

The Turbo Gear Foil Edition, for example, is being listed at $70 (or best offer) on eBay with a preorder/presale marker, as the actual Secret Lair cards have not shipped yet. For comparison, the Secret Lair shop price for this foil set is $39.99.

More expensive options, like the entire Sonic collection sans foil, are going for $349.99 (or best offer), and some listings put individual collections like the Friends & Foes at $80 or more.

The strange part is that while the Secret Lair vault will eventually run dry, and some parts of the collection have already gone down to low or no stock, other card sets are still available. As of this writing, the Friends & Foes Foil Edition is still available for $49.99. It won't always be available, but it's somehow both surprising and not surprising these sets are already getting flipped.

For those who'd rather chase after other cards, the next Magic: The Gathering set Edge of Eternities is officially out on August 1, with pre-release starting on July 25.

Nintendo has given fans a rare peek behind its development curtain, with a glimpse at how upcoming Switch 2 platformer Donkey Kong Bananza would have looked on Switch 1.

As previously revealed by IGN, Donkey Kong Bananza originally began as a Switch 1 project, before Nintendo realised the game's destruction-heavy action required better hardware with beefier technical specs.

Donkey Kong Bananza producer Kenta Motokura has now confirmed Bananza switched from being in development for Switch 1 four years ago, back in 2021, after running into technical "challenges". To illustrate his point, Nintendo has published a couple of comparison images, showing how the game looked running on Switch 1, compared to its Switch 2 counterpart.

"We originally began developing Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch, but we ran into some challenges," Motokura said, as part of a new Ask the Developer Q&A. "I think it was around 2021 when we started to think about moving development to Switch 2."

"It was clear that the memory available on Switch [1] would struggle to handle that load," added programming director Wataru Tanaka, "and we felt that manifesting the huge volume of terrain that we did in this game might have been unachievable on that platform.

"With the move to Switch 2, we gained not only more memory but also greater processing capacity. That gave us the freedom to incorporate gameplay ideas we'd previously abandoned because they were too demanding. When we got down to trying it, we discovered that not only could it handle the heavy processing requirements, but it also ran at 60 fps."
