Danganronpa is a series that’s equal parts appealing and appalling — and that’s why fans love it.

When someone is discovered dead, everyone else has to figure out whodunit and bring the guilty person to trial.
If that premise sounds intriguing, you’re not alone. Welcome to the world of Danganronpa fandom. The next installment is Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. It’s a fine place to start for newcomers, because it stars an entirely new cast of characters.

Top Gun Sequel Release Date, Director Announced
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski will officially helm Top Gun: Maverick.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced the news on Twitter while also revealing the sequel is set to hit theaters on July 12, 2019.
Kosinski was reportedly the number one directorial choice for Paramount and Skydance Pictures. The filmmaker previously worked with Tom Cruise on the 2013 sci-fi film Oblivion, and Cruise has apparently wanted to make another film with Kosinski ever since.
Earlier last month, Cruise discussed the tone of Top Gun: Maverick, saying the sequel is "going to be a competition film like the first one, and it's going to be in the same vein and the same tone as the first," while also being "a progression for Maverick."
Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct Coming This Week
Nintendo has announced that it will broadcast a Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct this Friday, July 6.
Broadcast worldwide at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm UK (and midnight AEST), the Direct will provide "a re-FRESH-er on some of the new features, weapons and styles" in the upcoming Nintendo Switch game.
It sounds as though the broadcast won't offer much in the way of new information, but will instead cover what the final game will comprise - that includes a brand new co-op mode, Salmon Run.
Splatoon 2 will be released on July 21, alongside a Splatoon 2-themed Switch Pro Controller.
16 Must-See Documentaries on Netflix
Movies can be a healthy, relaxing way to escape from reality. But the medium of cinema has the power to do more than entertain you. Documentaries catalogue real-life experiences and incredible events, making us more conscious of the world around us, our place within it, and what we can do to make a difference. They can be entertaining, horrifying, inspiring and just plain silly. They’re just as fascinating as any other genre, and even more versatile than most.
So the next time you’re sitting down to an evening with Netflix, bypass the action movies, skip over the comedies, and enjoy the very best documentaries that the service has to offer. They might just change your life.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 6 Canceled
Scott Cawthon, developer of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, has revealed he has ceased work on his new project, a sixth installment in the horror franchise.
Five Nights at Freddy's 6 had not been officially announced, but Cawthon has said "I fear that I've been neglecting other things in my life for the sake of trying to keep up with those mounting expectations."
There have been five entries in the main franchise, with Sister Location releasing last year as the most recent. There is also an RPG spin-off, FNaF World, which has been released for free after being pulled from Steam.
Hidden Alien Mission Found in Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand Theft Auto V's Chiliad Mystery has been ongoing for years and years, and the latest instalment in the saga has seen players uncover a crashed UFO and a new secret mission.
All this was added in the Gunrunning update recently, although it seemingly wasn't quite due for release yet. The Chiliad Mystery Guru group activated the mission early by messing with a few of the files found in the update.
The mission was forcefully activated, and as you can see in the video above, it involves picking up supplies with a supernatural twist. The supply location is a crashed UFO with a whole bunch of dead scientists and soldiers nearby - when you pick up a mysterious egg, aliens spawn in and start firing at you.

Disney is Making a Major Alteration to Pirates of The Caribbean Ride
Disneyland is changing up a major scene in it Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
According to a disneyparks blog post, the scene that once saw women being auctioned off (next to the “Auction, Take a wench for a bride” sign ) will be replaced with a scene of villagers lining up to surrender their valuables. The sign will be replaced to read "Auction, surrender yer loot", and the red-headed woman that was once a prize in the original scene will now be among the pirate ranks as an overseer complete with rifle and feathered cap.
In a statement to The Orange County Register spokeswoman for the Disneyland Resort Suzi Brown said “we believe the time is right to turn the page to a new story in this scene, consistent with the humorous, adventurous spirit of the attraction.” The new scene will roll out at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World in 2018.
