The rumour was that the reason they decided to shop CvA around was because a lot of high profile creatives cancelled their meetings with WB after the initial shelving announcement. It would now appear that ‘shopping it around’ was just to get those people back in and now that they’ve presumably signed some contracts,…

I think it’s kind of weird how in Season 1 Cortana’s hologram was a 100% CG character that was also clearly designed to look kinda sorta like Natascha McElhone, and this season it’s just live action Christina Bennington with some VFX on top, and everybody is just pretending that nothing’s changed.

Somebody HAS to be able to do something about this bullshit.

Definitely didn’t happen on screen. End of Season 1 she found out about her family connection to some sort of Forerunner artifact on Madrigal (implied to be some sort of teleportation bridge thing to a Halo). But then in the debrief in the first episode of this season they say that the Covenant glassed Madrigal just…

That cadence is apparently the only thing he can do anymore, because he used it in his cameo at the end of season 2 of Picard.

it seemed inclined to do its own thing rather than be the midpoint of a trilogy.

There is absolutely no way that this is going to be ‘affordable,’ and next to no chance that it will ever be made available to consumers. It’s got way too many moving parts and needs some hefty dedicated computational power to work.

Danish wasn’t the only body down there. I suspect that was the femur of Saint Linda.

My first thought was ‘hope Witt’s got his dashcam on.’ Not sure how Gator could play off putting a bullet through a State Trooper’s windshield, regardless of the propriety of Witt being there in the first place.

I was under the impression that this started as a licensed Star Wars story that Disney passed on.

The FTC that rubber-stamped the Fox acquisition was a very different beast than the current FTC, which has been much more adversarial to mega-mergers like this. (See: Microsoft buying Activision, which the FTC fought tooth and nail. And even more recently Adobe’s attempted acquisition of Figma).

The thing that struck me as the most insane about this year’s show was the total lack of any rhyme or reason for the awards that got the Keighley shotgun treatment, and the awards that got an actual presentation.

Really curious how feasible it’ll be to buy the upgraded internals on iFixit (once they’re available) and just upgrade a non-OLED model to the OLED.

I’d bet money on Thomas Brodie-Sangster being at the top of the shortlist for Link. He’s worked with director Wes Ball before on the Maze Runner films, and he has the l0ok.

Did an AI write this or are there just no editors at Kotaku now?

Guessing this has been in the works for a minute and is why Pete Hines stepped down last week.

These companies, by law, must meet the unending demand of exponentially increasing profits margins, no matter what.

I’ll second this, at least as far as NES cartridges. Those things got dusty af.

Yeah, I’d noticed the ring thing this season and had chalked it up to strain from the disparity in success after he’d gone to start his own thing and basically failed at it. More than one Hollywood relationship has fallen apart for similar reasons.

Honestly, if this extra three bucks meant I could watch everything on Freevee without ads too, it might be worth it. There’s a lot of good stuff on there, but the ads make it outright painful to watch.
