The officially licensed NFL Rivals, developed by Mythical Games, has launched its new Halloween event, “Monster Smash 2,” offering players a chance to compete in events, unlock rewards, and rewrite history with the game’s first-ever NFL Legend, Adrian Peterson. The program highlights Peterson’s legendary career and other NFL players who shined in October and runs from October 17 to November 14.
Adrian Peterson Takes Center Stage
NFL Rivals is a free-to-play mobile arcade-style football game where you manage your own NFL team with digital trading cards. In Monster Smash 2, players will find card packs, currency events, weekend Main Events, a Power Pass, and the program store with legendary, epic, and rare players.
Adrian Peterson, the former NFL MVP and one of the greatest running backs in league history, is at the heart of the Monster Smash 2 event. Players can relive Peterson’s greatest moments and unlock multiple special editions of his card.
Peterson’s cards are integrated throughout NFL Rivals, in various forms. For example, logging in allows players to claim a free base version of his card. He’s also featured in the Battle Pass, which players can progress through by completing challenges.
His Legendary and Mythical Player Editions are the top rewards of the event, purchasable with the game’s in-event currency, ‘candy’. However, players will have to choose wisely, as they can only purchase one of these top-tier cards.
Program Structure and Challenges
The Monster Smash 2 event comprises 40 milestones over four weeks, with daily and weekly challenges. These challenges allow players to earn ‘candy’ and unlock various rewards such as coins, gems, PFPs, player cards, and training resources.
The focus will be on currency-collecting events during the week and player-specific Main Events on the weekends, complemented by Mythical Events that offer additional bonuses based on the version of Adrian Peterson in the player’s lineup.
A major part of the event is its focus on ten running challenges. Since Peterson was a dominant running back, many of the challenges require players to rely on his editions to succeed. Players can relive iconic moments of Peterson’s career through these challenges, such as his game-winning touchdown against the Packers in 2008 or his record-setting 296-yard rushing game in 2007.
In addition to Peterson, the program also features other NFL stars who have starred in past October games. These players are available in packs and events, with varying rarities— 8 Legendary, 8 Epic, and up to 10 Rare. ‘Chase’ players, featured in weekend events and not available in packs, include seven special cards: four are event rewards, and three can be purchased using ‘candy’ in the program store.
Special Rewards and Halloween Atmosphere
After completing the “Adrian Peterson Challenge,” players will receive his Rare card as the final reward, which can be used in ‘Beast Events’ to unlock higher-powered versions. Additional rewards between challenges will provide RB training points to upgrade Peterson’s editions.
Beyond the individual player rewards, Monster Smash 2 enhances the Halloween vibe with special in-game effects and a spooky new stadium. Camera shakes and eerie effects await players using any version of Adrian Peterson’s card.

Mumbai is often considered the “city of dreams” because it promises opportunity and success. Whenever something happens, the media always talks about the “Spirit of Mumbai” and how the city continues to function despite facing a lot of challenges. In Payal Kapadia’s “ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT,” viewers are taken on an extraordinary journey about three migrant women navigating lives through a city steeped in mystery. What viewers witness next is a breathtaking tale of the thin line between dreams and reality, weaving a story that is as haunting as it is beautiful.
The movie begins with an introduction to our main characters: Prabha ( played by Kani Kusruti), and Anu (played by Divya Prabha). Prabha works as a nurse in a suburban Mumbai hospital and is estranged from her husband who lives in Germany. She lives with Anu, a younger co-worker, who is dating a Muslim boy named Shiraz (played by Hridhu Haroon). After spending most of their day in the hospital, the duo take some time off from their busy schedules to travel the city and spend some quality time with each other. Additionally, we get introduced to a woman named Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), who works as a canteen worker at the same hospital. At its heart, “ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT” is a meditation on the inner struggles of its protagonists, revealing their vulnerabilities, desires, and fears.

One of the finest and boldest aspects of the movie is how it dives into the complexities of the human psyche, presenting a storyline that is both profound and self-examining. Although the non-linear narrative follows its protagonists navigating their personal lives and collective traumas, Kapadia doesn’t shy away from creating a world where reality blurs into fantasy. There are times when we tend to think about things that we can’t have and make scenarios in our head about how would we react if those desires were suddenly fulfilled. This is what the film is mostly about and deeply resonates with the people. Meanwhile, the depth of the storyline is enhanced by its universal themes of love, loss, identity, and self-discovery. The director does a magnificent job of crafting a compelling storyline for each of the film’s main characters. It not only allows viewers to get deeper into the lives of these characters, but it also provides them the opportunity to connect with them on a more personal level. Moreover, the decision to make the film shift between past and present gives it a dream-like quality that stays with audiences long after it ends.
The screenplay is another aspect that takes the movie to a whole new level. There are only a handful of Indian movies that feature a narrative that is both poetic and realistic. Payal Kapadia’s “ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT” is one of them and seamlessly blends elements of magical realism with human experiences that are grounded. Even though the dialogue is minimal, the impact they have on the audience is immense and enough to make them understand its significance. The film’s writing is a perfect example of “actions speak louder than words” and Kapadia should be lauded for this kind of approach. Her screenplay is loaded with metaphors and layers that reveal themselves in the end, making it a gratifying experience for viewers who like watching a film that is both intellectual and emotional.
Apart from writing and direction, the film excels in how it shows Mumbai and its landscapes. The cinematography is breathtaking and each frame feels like a painting. It helps in enhancing the movie’s viewing experience and also deepens its emotional resonance.

In addition to these elements, the performances by the cast of “ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT” are why this film feels like such a deeply emotional experience. Kani Kusruti as Prabha is mesmerizing in this movie and delivers one of the finest performances of the year. She doesn’t leave any stone unturned to show viewers what Prabha feels like in a situation and even though when a scene demands her to be stone-faced, viewers realize how she is feeling. Kusruti is a force to be reckoned with and deserves all the praise she is receiving for her impeccable skills.
Meanwhile, Divya Prabha adds another layer to the film with her stupendous performance. Her performance is nuanced and spontaneous. Her spontaneity is truly magnificent and makes her character look more relatable. The chemistry between Kasunti and Prabha is a highlight of the film and amplifies the film’s overall impact. On the other hand, Chhaya Kadam continues her golden run with this film. She took India by storm with an impeccable performance in “Laapata Ladies,” and delivered another wonderful performance in this film.
All in all, “ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT” is a rare Indian film that can be compared with titles that become big in the realm of world cinema. Payal Kapadia masterfully captures universal emotions while maintaining a vision both unique and personal. The film is a testament to the power of cinema to explore the human condition in all its intricacies. The film is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of memories and emotions. The narrative unfolds like a collection of fragmented memories, evoking a powerful sense of longing. It’s a testament to Kapadia’s vision and her ability to craft cinematic experiences that resonate on an emotional and philosophical level.
All We Imagine as Light premiered as the opening film of the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024, which began on October 18, 2024.
Batman fans can save $50 on the 2,049-piece Batmobile Tumbler Lego set for a limited time at Amazon. Technically, this deal is sold by Amazon-owned retailer Woot, but you’ll place your order on Amazon and it’ll be shipped from one of the retailer’s warehouses. The $220 deal price, down from $270, is one of the best deals yet for the Caped Crusader’s high-tech ride from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Amazon offered a similar deal earlier this month ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, but it sold out fast. If you’re interested in adding this Batmobile Lego set to your collection, we’d recommend ordering soon. For a cheaper Batmobile Lego set, check out Walmart’s 3-in-1 Lego Batman Gift Set, which was sold out for weeks but is now back in stock for $50.
Lego Batmobile Tumbler from The Dark Knight Trilogy
Lego Batmobile Tumbler
The Batmobile Tumbler comes with minifigures of Batman and The Joker. Because the Tumbler has a very angular design, this has translated well into a Lego model while retaining the signature style of those blocks. You have several panels, authentic details, and intimidating wheels on this beastly machine, and when you’re done building it, you can display it on a sturdy base with a nameplate that includes details of the model. It’s pretty big as well, measuring 17 inches in length and nine inches in width. If you want to go a step further, you can even grab LEDs that fit into the model from third-party sellers.
Several smaller Batmobile Lego sets have released over the years, including the recent $60 model based on Batman: The Animated Series. This kit comes with 435 pieces and three minifigures: Batman, Mr. Freeze, and Harley Quinn. There’s also a 438-piece Lego Batmobile based on the 1989 live-action film starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton. The 1989 Batmobile comes with Batman and Joker minifigures. You can buy the 1989 Batmobile on its own for $38 at Amazon (was $48), or you can get it with Walmart’s Lego Batman vs. The Joker 3-in-1 Gift Set, which you can check out below:
$50
Includes 835 pieces, two vehicles, and five minifigures across three builds valued at $91 total:
On October 1, Lego released the Classic Batmobile, an 1,822-piece set based on the 1966 TV series. It sold out at major retailers at launch, but Amazon and Target recently restocked the cool building kit. If you’re interested in picking it up, you might not want to wait too long. The Lego Store still lists a 60-day delay for orders placed now, so even though Amazon and Target can ship it now, that might not be the case for long.
The Batmobile is one of the many gadgets included in Lego’s pricey Batcave Shadow Box. Released last year for $400, the 3,981-piece Batcave is the largest Batman Lego set in production now. But this will change soon, as Lego is retiring the Batcave Shadow Box. At the moment, you can still purchase the set from Lego–it’s a Lego Store exclusive–but it’ll be gone soon.
Sony has announced that the hugely successful Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will land on PC in January of 2025.
Aaron Jason Espinoza, Senior Community Manager at Insomniac Games, made the announcement in an official PlayStation Blog post, revealing that Sony-owned porting house Nixxes will be handling the project.
“Bringing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales to a new audience on PC together with Insomniac and Marvel Games has been a great experience for us at Nixxes,” says Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes. “We are excited to continue this collaboration and bring Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to PC with a suite of enhanced features, including enhanced ray-tracing options, to take full advantage of a variety of setups and configurations. Stay tuned for more details on features and recommended specs closer to launch.”
“Our amazing partners at Nixxes have once again done an incredible job bringing the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man to PC players,” says Mike Fitzgerald, Core Technology Director at Insomniac. “Our team put a lot of love into this game, and we’re excited that it will soon be enjoyed by a whole new audience with keyboard and mouse controls, ultra widescreen support, and numerous graphical options that make it feel at home on their platform.”
Unfortunately the blog post did not confirm what, if any, upgrades the PC version will get, although we can probably assume the usual suite of options such as widescreen support, higher framerates, DLSS and so on.
The blog post also confirmed that no new story content for Spider-Man 2 is planned.
“While we have no additional story content planned for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we’re delighted to bring all of our previously released post-launch content to the PC version, including New Game+, new suits and color variants, Photo Mode features, and more.”
Sony will be hoping for a win here as their past couple of PC releases haven’t do so well. The remake of Until Dawn launched day 1 on Steam but peaked at a measly 2,607 players, and before that Concord crashed and burned.
Pack it up! When Diane von Fürstenberg gets dressed, a simple mantra guides her. The Brussels, Belgium native, 77, told ET her tips for nailing a chic look while celebrating the opening of the Diane von Fürstenberg: Woman Before Fashion exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California.
“I’ve always referred to the motto la petite valise while designing my collections and curating my own wardrobe. The french phrase, which translates to the little suitcase, is a symbol of dressing for ease and practicality; two factors I’ve always found imperative when creating the perfect outfit. If you know how to pack, you know how to live,” she explained.

“The foundation of a woman’s closet should be practical staple pieces that never go out of style. Once you have your go-to classics, you can weave in statement pieces through bold colors, fabrics and silhouettes to coincide with each season. … It’s a simple way to add a little extra to any day-to-day look,” she added.
An absolute must-have? The designer’s beloved wrap dress, which has been worn by A-listers including Cindy Crawford, Madonna, Zoe Saldana, Kate Hudson, Paris Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kendall Jenner and more.

“While the designs and silhouettes have shifted throughout the years to keep up with the ever-changing trends, the core values of the DVF brand have always remained the same. We’ve kept our iconic designs, such as the wrap dress, but have found ways to elevate the styles to keep current,” the philanthropist noted.
von Fürstenberg is even influenced by her brand’s wearers when creating pieces.
“The Woman Before Fashion title of the exhibition explains it all. … DVF pieces are designed with the women wearing and living in them, first and foremost. … I constantly find myself inspired by the incredible women around me, which I then incorporate into my designs,” she said.

“With every design decision I make, whether it be fabrics, colors or silhouettes, I hope to create iconic looks that inspire women to feel confident and free. … My designs are always about freedom, which can be seen within the looks showcased throughout the Woman Before Fashion exhibition.”
Visit the multidisciplinary exhibition from now through Aug. 31, 2025.

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Mobile Application Security Market,” The mobile application security market was valued at $3.7 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $37.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 26.3% from 2023 to 2032.
Mobile application security is a measure of protecting apps from external threats such as malware and other digital frauds that jeopardize hackers’ critical personal and financial information. Mobile security breaches can not only allow hackers to access users’ personal lives in real time but also leak data such as current location, banking information, and personal information. Furthermore, the exponential increase in the adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning has given crucial advantages such as the detection and remediation of malware, the feasibility to host security testing tools, and the detection of all possible security risks. In addition, mobile security apps are majorly applicable in government and defense sectors, as they deal with highly confidential and sensitive data, making them susceptible to cyberattack.
Furthermore, major market players have undertaken various strategies to offer enhanced services to their customers. For instance, in June 2023, Appknox, a leading provider of cutting-edge mobile app security solutions, announced its partnership with Bitshield Data Defense Sdn.Bhd., a renowned cybersecurity company based in Malaysia. This significant collaboration represented a significant milestone in advancing mobile application security, effectively addressing the growing demand for robust protection against emerging threats. This partnership combines Appknox’s expertise in mobile application security with Bitshield’s extensive reputation and reach in Malaysia for cybersecurity, creating a formidable alliance that aims to revolutionize the mobile app security landscape in Malaysia.

These solutions integrate security controls directly into mobile applications at runtime to protect against threats in real time. RASP technology can monitor app behavior and enforce security policies to detect and respond to attacks, improving iOS application security.
Based on enterprise size, the large enterprise segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the global mobile application security market revenue, and is projected to rule the roost by 2032. With the increasing adoption of mobile devices and the growing reliance on enterprise mobile applications, organizations are prioritizing the security of their mobile ecosystems, thus, this leads to numerous opportunities for the growth of the market.

Bold and the Beautiful lights the fire for Hope Logan as Carter Walton woos her in the office this week, but she also dropped a warning, that he hasn’t caught yet on the CBS soap. It is just a matter of time before that seductive music blares in the background for Carter and Hope. So far, they’ve been interrupted, but that is about to change.
Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Logan Only in Hibernation
Bold and the Beautiful flipped a switch for Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). The once angelic character embarked on a hot and steamy affair with Thomas Forrester (Mathew Atkinson). Then she set her sights on Finn. But John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) adamantly turned down her advances.
So, for a while there, the script had Hope acting like a cat on the prowl. But after Finn shut her down, she seemed to level off and concentrate on other things outside the bedroom.
B&B | CBS
But now Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) lands in her scope, and she finds him quite alluring. So, it looks like her seduction mode is out of hibernation.
B&B: Carter Walton Drops His Guard
B&B has Carter Walton feeling a tad vulnerable these days after all his hot and heavy bouts of romance seem to just up and walk away. Now Hope Logan enters the scene. She tells Carter she likes the idea of a man who doesn’t have another woman on his mind.
Still, that’s pretty much what she said to Thomas a while back on Bold and the Beautiful. But then she pushed the guy she loved toward another woman in the end. Her desire for Finn was likely fueled by her disdain for Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). So, it looks like she’s self-sabotaging in the romance department.
Hope Logan either ends a relationship so it won’t lead to commitment, or she goes after one that couldn’t possibly give her anything long-term. So, where does Carter fall into these neat little boxes she created for love?
Bold and the Beautiful: Carter Didn’t Catch Hope’s Warning
Bold and the Beautiful lit Hope Logan’s fire again, with Carter Walton providing the kindling wood. But as soon as the volume goes up on that seductive background music, the spoilers suggest Carter is hooked.
Much like Thomas, Carter wants a life partner with kids in the future. Everyone will likely be pleased if Hope Logan and Carter Walton become an item. So, that hurdle of battling others about her love life is likely out of this new equation. Both past scenarios, staying with Thomas or getting her hands on Finn, had naysayers attached.
So, the only thing stopping Hope this time is Hope. She already warned Carter Walton about what she is looking for, and that is feeling good in the here and now. She told him this week on Bold and the Beautiful – “The only thing that I am certain of is how I feel right now, in this moment, with you today”.
That pretty much sums up her strategy with Thomas and Finn. So, now, it looks like Carter becomes the next unsuspecting victim to fall into her feel-good web. Finn welcomes Hope’s lack of interest in him today, and Thomas has moved on.
But Carter is looking for his forever mate. So, he likely falls hard for Hope after they share steamy bouts of lovemaking. But as soon as he mentions anything resembling a commitment, he probably finds himself alone again on the CBS soap.
