Golden Globes 2021 Snubs Include Da 5 Bloods, Bridgerton, and Lovecraft Country

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has had its say, at least in terms of what it thinks is worthy of consideration for the best in film and television in 2020. Coming later in the year than normal due to COVID-19, it was after Groundhog Day when the full list of Golden Globes nominees was announced. And among them there were some happy surprises… and some significant snubs. At a glance, the most surprising omission is the absence of Delroy Lindo’s name in the “Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama” category. Lindo, who’s done sterling character work his whole…

PS5 Known Issues Include Storage and Rest Mode Glitches

While it turns out that your Xbox Series X (likely) won’t spontaneously burst into flames, it’s inevitable that some early PS5 and Xbox Series X units will suffer from technical and hardware issues. The good news is that it doesn’t seem like the PS5 and Xbox Series X suffer from notable glitches quite as impactful as the infamous “Red Ring of Death” that plagued the launch of the Xbox 360. The bad news is that there are already reports of dead PS5s floating in the internet wild. In fact, popular YouTube game channel ACG recently tweeted that their review PS5…

Hulu’s Animaniacs Reboot to Include New Theme Song

When it comes to Yakko, Wacko, and Dot Warner, the trio is meant to come off as timeless. They’re sentient retcons, created in the early 1990s, but also canonically existing since the 1930s. Much like Bugs Bunny (and unlike Buster Bunny), it doesn’t matter what decade they’re doing their hijinks in. That’s why it’s so welcome that Animaniacs is making a comeback in November on Hulu. With the same voice actors behind the characters decades later and the Steven Spielberg seal of approval, all signs point to this being a worthwhile revival. And while that Animaniacs theme song is so…

As part of DC’s Fandome, Publisher Jim Lee answered a number of fan questions in prerecorded videos from his home studio. One of those answers gave some pretty definitive information about DC’s upcoming publishing schedule. “There won’t be a project called 5G or a big reboot or whatever,” Lee told the remote audience. Lee was responding to speculation about DC’s rumored crossover that might have done everything from replacing all of the current big heroes with newer characters to a hard “back to 1939” reboot for the line, depending on which corners of the internet you mined. Instead, Lee told…

Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes Include Bruen Nerf

The latest Call of Duty Warzone patch notes have arrived, and they feature some long-awaited changes to the battle royale’s LMG weapons. The biggest change in this recent update may just be a reduction to the Bruen MK9’s effective damage range. The Bruen has become something of an all-purpose solution for Warzone players who have been taking advantage (some would say “exploiting”) this gun’s accuracy and high rate of fire. With this change, the Bruen will likely be a far less effective solution at longer ranges. LMG fans who will suddenly find themselves unable to rely on the Bruen quite…

Let’s start with Ghost of Tsushima‘s new “Lethal” difficulty level. As you might imagine based on the name, this difficulty level will make the game’s enemies much deadlier.

Here’s the really interesting…
