I just saw the news on the My Hero Academia Ultra Impact website – they’re shutting down the game. It’s sad, but they posted a message thanking everyone for playing and announced that the game will officially stop running on Monday, May 18, 2026. It’s been a lot of fun for those of us who’ve been playing, but sadly, all good things come to an end.

While critics were divided on A Minecraft Movie (giving it a 47% score on Rotten Tomatoes), the film was a huge commercial success, earning over $961 million despite a $150 million budget. Along with the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Minecraft Movie demonstrated that adapting video games into films could be very profitable, which spurred the creation of more adaptations. Furthermore, the film’s success helped pave the way for the development of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

HBO Max has always been a great place to find high-quality movies, and many of those films continue to be highlights of the service. Recently, the selection has gotten even better with the addition of classic anime from directors like Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Hosoda, and Makoto Shinkai, as well as fantastic new movies from the past few years.

Chuck Norris’s skill in martial arts and growing fame led to movie roles, starting with a part as a villain in Bruce Lee’s 1972 film, The Way of the Dragon. He eventually became a leading man, starring in popular action movies like Lone Wolf McQuade, Missing in Action, and The Delta Force. Norris also found success on television with the long-running hit Walker, Texas Ranger, which aired for nine seasons and 196 episodes. Interestingly, he also became an early internet sensation, the subject of countless jokes and memes that continue today. Norris took it all in stride and even participated in the fun, appearing in an action film that helped revitalize his image.
