#13 original Italian, Mike’s way, with cherry pepper relish.

This is how you get a Quibi and nobody wants that!

lol.

He guest starred in a few episodes of the Highlander series with Adrian Paul, which was damn near enough to make me gay...

Sad to tell you this, but Louise passed away from cancer a few years ago.

Also Japan absolutely loved GoT.

The reason they split season six the way they did is so the second half would be eligible for the 2023 Emmys. Rhea Seehorn will get her due then.

I meant that Ieyasu was the first of the Tokugawa shoguns, but rereading I realize that wasn’t well phrased. You’re right that many shoguns preceded the Tokugawas, at least 400 years worth.

Wild guess: This game will take place right around the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. That era offers a lot of political intrigue as well as pitched battles, gunpowder weaponry is available, and Japan was still open to European nations, so the backdrop still allows for Templers and the like to be present in such a…

Why does a game about assassins in Japan not work thematically? Do you just mean the backstory with the Templars and all is out of place?

Ghost of Tsushima was almost entirely rural sandbox, with only small sequences in populated areas. I would expect AC:Japan to be primarily in Edo or Kyoto, with emphasis on the parkour and architectural exploration the series’ earlier games were known for and not another Valhalla-styled sprawl.

“But remember that the Marvel actors have always tended to be prickly about the subject.”

This kind of thing is why I could never be a corporate business type. I’d hear this Sony guy spilling the tea just to whine about it and think ‘alright fucker, how does zero years sound?’ It’s not like Sony is out there volunteering to put Spider-Man or FF7 Remake on the Xbox…

I think the bare minimum should include the GoFundMe that Fahey’s partner set up to help cover his medical care and funeral expenses. Even if everything else comes later, so many Kotaku readers loved him that I think they would be happy to donate.

And I think it sucks that you’re taking a run at people over this. People are only asking because Fahey meant something to them, too.

I agree. There’s a difference between an announcement and a eulogy, and the former seems to be called for here. It’s unreasonable to expect the staff to compose heartfelt tributes to an unexpected tragedy over a holiday weekend, but just letting folks know… I found out in a random thread yesterday and thought it was a…

Surely there’s a middle ground between hurried expressions of grief and just not acknowledging Fahey’s passing at all. An open thread for people to share stories, with a nod from editorial towards formal eulogies from staff yet to come, would seem a proper bridge. I heard it first in one of these random threads and…

So you mean to say that Gabe Newell will still go to sleep on a mattress stuffed with thousand dollar bills? I was worried there for a minute, it sounded like rando anti-trans dude and his game I’d never heard off were gonna send Valve to the poorhouse...

they get a triggered about it.

Once they’ve taken the tax write-off, declaring the film a total loss, they can never release it. Doing so would expose WB to tax liabilities and penalties, etc, and this story is way too visible for the IRS to overlook. Frankly I expect WB would destroy the footage, just to ensure it never sees the light of day.
