Twisted Metal -- Peacock's original series inspired by the popular video games of the same name -- broke viewership records for the NBC Universal-owned streamer when it debuted on the platform in 2023. Of all shows people could have binged, they picked the one with an ice cream truck-driving killer clown who loved to set his head on fire. It's like everyone suddenly had my particular taste in entertainment. I'm not mad about it. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz lead the series as John Doe a

Exclusive: A record-breaking baby has been born from an embryo that’s over 30 years old

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-12-25 03:36:56

Cumbersome and explosive In the early days of IVF, embryos earmarked for storage were slow-frozen. This technique involves gradually lowering the temperature of the embryos. But because slow freezing can cause harmful ice crystals to form, clinics switched in the 2000s to a technique called vitrification, in which the embryos are placed in thin plastic tubes called straws and lowered into tanks of liquid nitrogen. This rapidly freezes the embryos and converts them into a glass-like state. The

Avast Ye Hearties: HBO Is Auctioning Off ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Booty

Over two seasons, Our Flag Means Death gathered a passionate fan base as it carved out a truly unique corner of television. Part pirate adventure and part workplace comedy, it was stuffed with standout characters and heartfelt queer romance. It also offered a perfect balance of earnestness and irreverence. Suffice to say, it’s been very missed since HBO cancelled it and it was unable to find a new outlet. With the Our Flag Means Death banner lowered for good, that means the next step in saying

‘3 Body Problem’ Season 2 Just Took a Step Forward

Netflix’s dazzling and complex Liu Cixin adaptation 3 Body Problem was one of io9’s top TV shows of 2024. After its first season, we still had lots of questions about what would happen next—there’s the small matter of that impending alien invasion, for one thing—so it was good news when creators David Benioff, D.B.

What just happened? In a move that is only surprising because of how long it's taken, Sony has launched a lawsuit against Tencent over a game that looks so much like Horizon Zero Dawn it's hard to believe it isn't a sequel. Light of Motiram is described by the Japanese company as a "slavish clone" of the popular robot-dinosaur-fighting adventure games, which is an accurate description.
