The first #MCU project of 2026 dropped on Disney+, with all 8 eps available for streaming. With so little marketing, word-of-mouth is what is going to make or break the show.
So how much wonder does #WonderMan have? Check out my spoiler-free review to find out.

My first video game was on the NES - Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Also played SPOT that same day, but G2 was first.
Saved and got an Atari til he sold his NES for a SNES. Bought his NES, and then later his SNES when he upgraded.

I think it was Bubble Bobble on a friend's Atari or Amiga, before we got our own first family computer. We eventually got our own copy and my sister and I would play for ages. I was always Bub, she was always Bob. I would draw all the characters and enemies.

Me and the Sega Genesis had a time! The music from the first couple levels and special stages (never beat it) is ingrained in my memory.

Had to dig deep to think about which one it was but I remember! It was Megaman 2. I remember being interested to see what a video game was since well had no concept of it back then. It was interesting playing it having some issues at first but then got the hang of it. Loved the music still do!

In 2007 I went through THREE Xbox 360s.
My original got the red ring, I tried all the fixes, etc. Because I opened it, MS wouldn't replace it.
So I bought a used Elite on eBay. Powered it on.... RED RING.
I was able to send that one in to MS and got a brand new Elite out of it though.

I think every Xbox 360 owner went through this at least once

The earliest I can recall is the original Halo. My dad had the Gearbox PC port and he would play it a lot. I know I played that version first, sometime later my dad got both me and my brother Xboxs with Halo presumably so my dad could get his computer back.
I miss you, dad.

Do any of you remember the VERY FIRST video game you ever played?

The very first video game I ever played was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. I was 3 and I was visiting my moms friends house and their sons were playing it. I highly enjoyed what I saw and couldn't wanted a NES so bad after. 2 years later my Aunt sent me one for Christmas. The rest is history!

Played it on our classrooms only computer when I was in first grade. We all treasured our day/time slot on the computer just so we could play this game. It led me to begging my parents for video games at home, which is how I got my NES with Mario/Duck Hunt.

I'm done with the original Final Fantasy after a recent playthrough on the Pixel Remaster, and honestly?
It was really charming!
I think it's always fun to return to where a major franchise started, and while it's a more simple game compared to the others the simplicity was a nice change of pace.

Ahh, memories..
This same dev, Doug TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim, also quote-tweeted me once calling me "queer bait" because I suggested a new EWJ game could be made without him.
I grew up loving his work—Earthworm Jim, The Neverhood, etc. So it bums me out that he's such an asshole.
