The 30th Anniversary special and a slew of other Power Rangers announcements, including new toy releases via Hasbro Pulse, were were made today by Entertainment Weekly. Many of the original Power Rangers will reprise their roles in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always, a new Power Rangers special that has set an April 19th, 2023 global premiere date on Netflix.

Something Familiar Yet New

Executive producer Simon Bennett will work with director Charlie Haskell on the project. On the new special, Becca Barnes and Alwyn Dale wrote the scripts. This was the first Power Rangers project that we’ve worked on that doesn’t use Japanese footage, Barnes said in an interview with Hasbro Pulse, adding that “it has really given the show a freedom that we haven’t had before.” Teasing a bit more for fans to expect, writers teased we’ll be see some familiar places and also the return of some familiar lines that we used to hear and use back in the day. Also, the creators noted that when creating the show, they sought to strike a good balance between “90s nostalgia and the TV of today.”

Something to Catch Up On

Four Power Rangers movies are still available on Netflix in the US as of the time of publication, and most other foreign territories do as well. Power Rangers: Dino Fury is still only available on Netflix under the Original banner. Super Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers, and the four Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers classic seasons are also available on Netflix US. Numerous prior seasons were removed from Netflix in early 2021, and they have yet to be added back.

Despite the lack of information now accessible regarding the project, it has been previously rumored that filming had begun some time in the summer of 2019, which would coincide with the anticipated 2023 release. The film will reportedly feature a time-travel component, which will enable it to relate to the TV franchise in a way that hasn’t been done previously with any other Power Rangers efforts. Jonathan Entwistle is presently set to direct the film.

The official announcement for Counter-Strike 2 just dropped, and it has gamers stunned. A limited test for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), which Valve describes as a “overhaul to every system, every piece of content, and every part of the C-S experience,” is beginning today, according to a tweet from the company. The game’s website calls it “the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike’s history” Strike’s and promises years of updates, features, and amazing gameplay.

Something New That We Love

Based on Valve’s Source 2 engine, CS2 features updates to some of the game’s core mechanics, such as improved smoke grenades and “sub-tick updates,” which let “servers know the exact instant that motion starts, a shot is fired, or a ‘nade is thrown,” according to Valve. In a video titled “Leveling Up The World,” Valve says that while maps will change in CS2, skilled players’ abilities should carry over. The three “tiers” of gaming maps are another topic covered by the organization. Certain “touchstone” levels, like Dust II, have slight visual changes but otherwise remain unchanged. These levels should allow players to acquire a sense of the new gameplay in a recognizable environment.

A Couple of Updates

There are other maps that have been improved or reworked, either by adding Source 2 features or by completely rebuilding them. A specific bind may also be used to take the silencer off your rifle, according to a tweet. People will be chosen to participate in the “limited test” based on criteria like “recent playtime on Valve official servers, trust factor, and Steam account standing,” the firm says. If you’re chosen, you’ll receive a notification in the CS:GO main menu that will allow you to enroll.

Users are permitted to stream their experience and publish recordings of it, so even those of us who can’t play the game should get a nice look at the upgraded smoke and lighting effects. You can only now play the restricted test in Deathmatch and “unranked competitive matchmaking” modes on the renowned Dust II map from Counter-Strike, though Valve promises that additional modes and maps will be included in later test releases. The limited test is also only available on Windows for now, and the FAQ makes zero mentions of Valve’s Steam Deck handheld.

Six researchers ingested the heads of Lego figures to measure the time it takes for them to pass unconscious. To be honest, I’m just pleased that science is now prepared to address the major issues.

The building blocks of the future

Lego is a brand of plastic building toys created by The Lego Group, a privately held business with headquarters in Billund, Denmark.

The company’s signature product, Lego, is made up of plastic interlocking bricks in a variety of colors that come with a variety of gears, minifigure figurines, and other pieces.

Buildings, vehicles, and functional robots can all be created using various combinations of Lego components. Anything built may be disassembled once more and the components utilised to create new things.

The interlocking toy bricks have been produced by the Lego Group since 1949. Under the brand, eight Legoland amusement parks as well as movies and gaming tournaments have been created. 600 billion Lego pieces has been created as of July 2015.

All for science!

Well, despite the fact that it may sound absurd, paediatric medical professionals did intentionally consume the little Lego heads for a research titled Everything is Awesome: Don’t Forget the Lego.

There must not be a chance that you will forget it while you wait for it to return in the toilet bowl, right?

The extremely severe and crucial study used two scoring systems: Finding and Retrieved Time (FART) and Stool Hardness and Transit (SHAT), all of which are acronyms for the same thing.

They were referred to as that, in full honesty. The SHAT score was actually divided into two parts: the pre-SHAT score, which recorded the researchers’ regular bowel movements, and the post-SHAT score, which was recorded after the Lego head was ingested. Afterwards, information was acquired by comparing the pre and post SHAT results.

The FART score, on the other hand, was a little more depressing – if you can imagine – and required the participants to search through their feces for a tiny yellow head in the days after ingestion.

The study did have a serious goal, despite the fact that it may have seemed like a joke at first and was probably difficult for the researchers to explain to their loved ones.

Children love to eat things that aren’t meant to be eaten, as any parent of a young child can confirm, often with very severe consequences.

Ingesting Lego by mistake or on purpose normally has no negative effects, but in order to ease parents’ concerns, our brave researchers set out to determine how long it takes for a Lego head to pass through a human digestive system.

What then did our brave scientists learn?

The study’s FART score averaged 1.71 days, which means that the Lego head frequently emerged from the body in less than two days.

The scientists concluded their study by writing: “A toy object swiftly passes through adult individuals without difficulties. The authors argue that no parent should be required to search through their child’s feces to confirm object retrieval. This will reassure parents
