I've had to put Video Game Deathmatch on hiatus. The time demands on producing it are too high for such small returns in audience right now, and I don't have the time to spare to properly promote or grow the audience.
A monumental loss to comedy

It is not said enough how much the world-building in Harry Potter sucks absolute ass.
The UK gets a school all to itself but the entire continent of fucking Africa has to share one? Absolute bollocks. She just couldn't be arsed thinking up more names for places.

Reminder that British journalists have a weird fetish for Harry Potter because it's a fantasy world where nobody mentions how fucking weird it is that everybody was privately educated in just five schools

30 years ago this article would have been about British kids not reading Enid Blyton because they hate Thatcherism or some nonsense.

Fair play. Of all the reasons kids might no longer like Harry Potter, theorising it's because they don't like liberalism is the absolute funniest interpretation.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

All this tells me is to no longer get hyped about future Ubisoft announcements, rare as that was, because they probably won't happen. Will be shocked if the company, as we know it, even exists in a years time.
Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ubisoft...
Ubisoft also announced it was delaying seven other games, to “ensure enhanced quality benchmarks are fully met”

I figured the lack of due process was the point.

You don't. Not in our lifetime anyway.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

There isn't even a lightsaber scene in the movie, they had to add one or else Tom wouldn't leave.
Apparently the actor landed his helicopter on the set because he wanted to watch the cast film a lightsaber scene.
Tom Cruise apparently helped shoot lightsaber battle in Star Wars: Starfighter

Yes that’s right, cutting drink driving deaths is “a blow to the pubs industry”. That’s the key point.

Once upon a time, people would just channel this frustration into something like fan fiction. Its still a shade of cope but at least it's training a creative muscle. This is just sad and weird.

Really enjoyed Fantastic Four. Just a shame Marvel are immediately throwing that cast into the Doomsday vortex where they'll likely get overshadowed. I hope I'm wrong and they're actually important to the bigger story but I don't know how that works with zero groundwork being done.

I loved the Stranger Things finale. Sometimes it's the right choice to give your characters happy endings.

Do they punch up? Oh boy do they! Just you wait and see! Oh hang on. Sorry, no. I mean, down. They punch down.
But do they speak truth to power? Also no.
But they have a bag full of slurs. So buckle up!

Get this, they actually say things no one else can/will say. Some of them even smoke cigarettes that you can buy in a shop. Just you try stopping them. Oh boy. They'll never stop saying scary things, unless an oil state tells them to not do that, then they'll say other things, obvs.
