With the Walking Dead’s ninth season debuting recently, promising “Rick Grimes’ final episodes,” ABC’s The Conners returning without Roseanne Barr, and House of Cards’ final season debuting without series lead Kevin Spacey, we got to thinking in the IGN offices about a few other times that TV shows lost a main character. It doesn’t happen too often, but it does happen. And usually, when they go, they go via the morgue.
The gaming website Trusted Reviews has issued an apology to Red Dead Redemption 2 publisher Take-Two Interactive after publishing a story using information from a confidential document, and will be making a £1 million ($1.3 million USD) charity donation to charities of Take-Two’s choosing.
As reported by Variety, The apology in question reads “On February 6, 2018, we published an article that was sourced from a confidential corporate document. We should have known this information was confidential and should not have published it. We unreservedly apologise to Take-Two Games and we have undertaken not to repeat such actions again. We have also agreed to donate over £1 million to charities chosen by Take-Two Games.”
Red Dead Redemption 2 developer and publisher Rockstar Games is planning to release the game’s official soundtrack as a standalone product.
The soundtrack features vocal performances from musicians such as Willie Nelson, Nas, and Josh Homme, as well as a track written and performed by David Ferguson, who previously worked as a sound engineer for Johnny Cash. Vocals in the game were produced by Daniel Lanois, who has produced albums for folk legends like Neil Young and Bob Dylan.
The score is a major collaborative effort. It was primarily composed by Woody Jackson, who worked on the original Red Dead Redemption as well as Grand Theft Auto V and L.A. Noire, with additional production handled by Jeff Silverman of Truth and Soul Records.
Undertale creator Toby Fox released a free new project, Deltarune yesterday. Fans are scrambling to uncover its secrets, but one strange feature is definitely unintended – the game’s uninstaller can accidentally delete the entirety of the folder it’s a part of.
Players began noticing the problem yesterday, prompting Fox to tweet a warning:
Hey apparently the uninstaller for DELTARUNE just deletes the entire directory the uninstaller is in. Depending on where you installed it, this could have some consequences. I recommend you don’t use the uninstaller.

Ever since the massive success of Pirates of The Caribbean Disney has been attempting to catch that same live-action lightning in a bottle. Though they’ve had numerous record-breaking smashes within the MCU, Star Wars and by raiding their own animated IP for remakes, they’ve found it hard to recreate the model of a new original franchise with both Tomorrowland and The Lone Ranger failing to grab the attentions of audiences. The newest original Disney live-action film is the veritable Holiday smorgasbord The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which whilst by no means a great movie has definitely learnt some lessons from the studio’s mistakes of the past.
Loosely inspired by the classic ballet The Nutcracker, this reimagining sits somewhere between The Chronicles of Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, and… Return to Oz–we’ll come back to that later—with a young feisty girl who doesn’t quite fit in with her fancy family and longs for something more. In that way, MacKenzie Foy’s Clara is just like so many other Disney leading ladies; Belle’s tired of her provincial town, Ariel’s desperate to explore the human world, and (live action) Alice is ready to follow her father’s footsteps and explore the globe. Clara’s motivations though come from the loss of her mother.
Apparently you can’t bring back one Wolverine without discarding another. Old Man Logan made his transition to the core Marvel Universe in the aftermath of the regular Wolverine’s death. And now that Wolverine is in the excruciatingly slow process of returning, it’s Old Man Logan’s turn to shuffle off into that good night. Old Man Logan #50 proves to be a fitting, if rushed, series finale.
It’s fitting that writer Ed Brisson wraps up the series with another fight between Logan and Maestro. It mirrors both the beginning of Brisson’s run and the very first Wolverine story. The tone of this rematch is certainly dire enough, with Logan clinging to life while his healing factor fails him and “King” Maestro lording it over a remote town full of terrified subjects. Had Marvel not announced the upcoming Dead Man Logan followup series, there would be legitimate cause to worry about whether our hero can survive this fight.
Halloween is upon us! What better way to celebrate than by dressing up as your favorite fictional characters? Well, these celebrities thought so too, because some have decked themselves out for the occasion.
Repping comic book characters, there’s Stephen Merchant as Doctor Strange, Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Harely Quinn, Emma Watson as Wonder Woman, Halsey as Poison Ivy and Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Marcus Scribner as T’Challa/Black Panther, Nakia and Killmonger (respectively) for a special Halloween episode of Black-ish. Oh, and the Timberlake family also went all out on LEGO Batman costumes.
