Lego fans keep building Nintendo’s Game Boy set wrong
Lego enthusiasts are stepping up to guide younger builders on crafting Nintendo Game Boy cartridges accurately. These passionate fans are posting detailed PSAs, ensuring that the new generation doesn’t miss out on the nostalgic experience of assembling these iconic cartridges correctly. The core issue? Many young Lego builders have never actually held a real Game Boy cartridge, leading to some creative, yet inaccurate, constructions. The Lego community’s response highlights the importance of preserving gaming history, even in brick form.
This trend started gaining traction in 2023, with fans emphasizing the significance of authentic builds. It’s a testament to the enduring legacy of Nintendo’s portable console. This initiative also underscores the broader effort to educate and engage younger gamers with the classics. Who knew Lego could be such a powerful medium for gaming heritage?

PlayStation Plus Subscribers Are Back To Just Three Free Games This Month
PlayStation Plus subscribers will get three free games in January, down from five in December. The free games for this month include “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” “Fallout 76,” and “Axiom Verge 2.” These titles will be available from January 3 until February 6. Last month’s five-game haul was a holiday treat, but now it’s back to the usual three.
Looks like Sony’s dialing it back with two fewer freebies this month. Don’t sleep on “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” – it’s been a fan favorite for anyone who digs lightsabers and deep storylines. “Fallout 76” has come a long way since its rocky launch, so now’s a great time to jump in and see the Appalachia chaos for yourself.
Anthem’s end is nearly here – only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare’s ill-fated multiplayer game
Anthem’s servers are shutting down in just 9 days. BioWare’s multiplayer game launched in February 2019. Its ambitious Javelin suits and shared world didn’t quite take off. The servers will be turned off on January 12, 2026.
Anthem fans have limited time left to enjoy the game. Players won’t be able to access Anthem’s online features after the shutdown. Despite its rocky start, some fans still enjoyed its fast-paced combat and stunning visuals.
The PC game releases we’re most excited about in January
A new mountain climbing game, “Peak Ascent,” is set to release on March 15, 2026. The zombie infection screenings in “Quarantine Zone” have attracted over 2 million players since launch. “Hero Havoc,” a hero shooter wildcard, is introducing 10 new characters in its next update. This mix of games has the gaming community active with excitement.
“Peak Ascent” promises a weather system that’ll keep you on your toes as you climb. “Quarantine Zone” devs just dropped a massive patch addressing matchmaking issues, which should keep things smooth for players. In “Hero Havoc,” expect some major ability tweaks to keep the gameplay spicy with those new characters.
Beastro Preview, A Tasty Sample Of This Cozy Cooking Deckbuilding Roguelike
Alright, so we’ve got this cool game called Beastro coming in 2026, developed and published by Timberline Studio for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It’s like a cozy cooking deckbuilding roguelike that feels like mixing different gaming ingredients into a single, tasty dish. The game follows a sous chef named Panko in the village of Palo Pori, where he’s not the hero saving the day, but a chef running a restaurant. He’s supported by a fiery guardian spirit, Flambe, to feed a group of heroes called Caretakers who fight off the darkness outside the village’s walls.
Think of it like Dave the Diver, where Panko divides his days into segments as he tries to find his missing mentor while juggling his culinary duties. Can’t wait to see how Panko’s kitchen adventure unfolds when it finally drops. Alright, check this out. In the game, players get to flex their culinary skills by collecting ingredients around a scenic village before the big restaurant opening day.
You’ll be grabbing grubs to feed chicken-like birds, fishing at the pier, and tending to a garden. It’s all about that cozy vibe before the real hustle of running your restaurant begins.
Jeremy’s most anticipated games for 2026
2026 is shaping up to be a thrilling year for gamers, with a lineup that promises both nostalgia and innovation. We’re getting a new Resident Evil installment, which always gets the adrenaline pumping. Plus, Tomb Raider 1 is getting reimagined yet again, can Lara Croft ever get enough screen time? But here’s a wild card: a 007 game inspired by the cartoon series James Bond Jr. Remember that one?
These releases could definitely shake up your game guides and maybe even your gaming priorities. Each title brings a unique twist, from survival horror to action-packed espionage. Could these games redefine their genres or just offer a fun trip down memory lane? Either way, it’s going to be exciting seeing how they stack up.
It’s great to see the LEGO community come together
It’s not every day that you see people being genuinely nice online. The wholesome support from older LEGO fans is really great to see, and I hope they next generation continues this trend.
Also, today’s gaming deal lineup is giving me mixed vibes. Secretlab chairs and Sennheiser cans together? Sounds like a dream setup, but are those RTX 5070 deals a real steal or a risky refurb gamble? I could be wrong, but it feels like a toss-up.
Hit up the comments and let’s chat about which sales have you most excited.
