John Mulaney will play Trip Hawkins. Amazon MGM’s upcoming movie on the life of NFL legend John Madden will also cover the creation of the best-selling series of Madden video games. Directed by David O. Russell—who is a somewhat troubling figure in Hollywood these days—the movie stars Nicolas Cage as John Madden, the American professional…
After being first announced in April 2024, Tales of the Shire has already made quite a name for itself in the cozy gaming space even a few months away from its scheduled release. Within that year and a bit, we’ve seen a handful of trailers and videos that give us a brief look into the…
A little fun fact I didn’t know until recently: Jason Charles Miller—lead vocalist of Godhead, but more well-known among MMO sickos like me for being the voice behind iconic Final Fantasy 14 tracks like To the Edge, Close in the Distance, and Unleashed from the newest Arcadion raid tier—is the guy who sang Rules of…

For almost as long as we can remember (okay, about three years), the 18A node has been all-important for Intel. Former CEO Pat Gelsinger said he’d bet the whole company on 18A.
