Wheel Of Time Is Sliding Into Everyone’s DMs And It’s Puzzling
Wheel of Time is arriving to Amazon next month, and to get people excited, official Twitter and Instagram WoT accounts have been sliding into people's DMs, and dropping puzzle pieces. Fans all over social media are posting these puzzle pieces in hopes of figuring out just what the completed puzzle looks like.

"And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, And the Shadows shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, And the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man. Women shall weep and men quail as the nations of the earth are rent like rotting cloth. Neither shall anything stand or abide... until …

James Gunn Tried To Make A Gilligan’s Island Movie Where They Kill And Eat Each Other
Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn tried to make a new version of the famous TV show Gilligan's Island with a very sinister twist. After the original Guardians of the Galaxy, Gunn said he tried to resurrect writer Charlie Kaufman's pitch for a movie version of Gilligan's Island where the inhabitants of the island are trying to kill and eat each other to survive. A true story: In the late 90’s screenwriting GOAT Charlie Kaufman pitched a movie version of Gilligan’s Island where the islanders, starving & desperate, started killing & eating each other. Warner Bros wanted to do it - but Sherwood Schwartz, the creator, said no way. — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) October 13, 2021 After Guardians I tried to resurrect the idea & wanted to direct. It seemed Warners & Charlie were interested but, this time, the estate of the late Sherwood Schwartz nixed it. Anyway, if the Schwartz estate changes their mind, I’m here. — James Gunn …
It looks like Apple Music may be coming to PlayStation 5
Sony appears to be working with Apple to bring the tech giant's music service to the PlayStation. This comes as a Reddit user posted a photo on the Apple Music subreddit claiming that they received the option to download the Apple Music app on their PlayStation 5. When the user selected the option, however, they received the error: "This app is only playable on PS4". This is the standard error message the PlayStation 5 shows when there's a missing app (many of PlayStation 5's media apps, including Spotify, are just PlayStation 4 apps running under backwards compatibility).

What we’ve learned about digital gaming’s climate impact – a summary
Video games are getting bigger. File sizes are growing; patches are growing (and getting more frequent); cloud gaming is more accessible than ever; and downloading games digitally, as opposed to buying them on physical discs, is now on average very much the norm. Like it or not, the future of video games is delivered in bits and bytes, rather than boxes, and there is one obvious result: a considerable increase in the amount of data this hobby requires us to download. This is what got us wondering about the effects of gaming downloads in the first place, and is why we published our recent (very) long-read yesterday, asking: What does gaming's all-digital future mean for the climate crisis? Setting out, what we hoped to discover was the impact of that ever-growing pile of downloads on the climate. It turns out that was easier said than done, but there are some more definitive lessons to be learned - quite a few of them, in fact - and picking through the findings of various studies …
Wholesomeness Has Never Been Ted Lasso’s Strongest Feature
Over the last year, AppleTV+ breakout hit Ted Lasso has become something of a conversational hot topic, depending on which circles of the internet you run in. It wouldn't be fair to say that the sports comedy, which became a beacon of hope and wholesomeness after its 2020 premiere, has become "controversial" in its second season, but words like "backlash" have been used to describe the reaction fans and critics alike have had to the show's second season. There are plenty of reasons for this-- we've even chronicled a few of them here , as well as some rebuttals--but, now that the show's second season has wrapped, conversation around the show hasn't gotten any less divisive. Season 2 saw a major heel turn for one of Season 1's protagonists. Relationship drama bubbles up in Season 1's break-away favorite couple. A number of central characters reveal corners of their personalities and their lives that are anything but wholesome. Now, as the dust settles after the season finale, some …
