Owlcat Games—the studio behind upcoming RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn—has announced plans to recast the actor voicing its male protagonist, after players complained about a perceived lack of emotion in his voice during the game’s beta test last month. “While the voice actor for the male protagonist and J put in a lot of good work, they felt less expressive than we wanted,” Owlcat Games shared in a blog post on Osiris Reborn’s Steam page. “Because of this, we are changing the voices of the male protagonist and J.” In The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, players can create their own player…
We sat down with Matt Ryan, who plays Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, to answer questions about the game, returning to the role 13 years later, and general pirate inquiries.
Likewise, Jan Carney, president of the American College of Physicians, said the group was “alarmed” while blasting the firing of the two doctors from the task force. “Both physicians are highly qualified experts, and we take issue with the lack of transparency in any review that Secretary Kennedy has conducted of members of the task force,” Carney said. “The firings come as the task force has not met over the course of the past year and has been prevented from doing their work to ensure that the American public has up-to-date guidance, based on the best-available evidence, about preventive health…

The Backrooms–the iconic, yellow, liminal corridors that feel designed by unnerving dream logic–have gone from the subject of a 2019 forum post to a major movie adaptation in just seven years. It’s a trajectory that outpaces Slenderman, its predecessor in the burgeoning creepypasta-to-Hollywood pathway. Backrooms YouTube videos have dominated the time between that first post and today, to the extent that the A24-produced horror movie coming out on May 29 is directed by the 20-year-old Kane Parsons, whose YouTube channel blew up in popularity thanks to his unsettling Backrooms videos. But it’s not just on YouTube where you’ll find dozens…
What to make of this? Is it reflective of political shenanigans? Hughes was abrasive during this stint as chief of staff last year, rubbing some NASA employees the wrong way. However, a NASA source said the agency needed someone with political chops to lead Kennedy. There is constant infighting there among users, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other launch companies, in addition to conflicts with the Space Force and Federal Aviation Administration. When one spaceport user does something another user does not like, they call the White House. “Now, when someone tells Hughes ‘give me what I want or…
The European Union parliament has taken up the debate about the Stop Killing Games movement and whether game publishers have the responsibility to keep their titles online after players have already purchased and played them for years. However, Slovakian politician Milan Uhrik decided to derail the conversation by focusing on his personal beef with the gaming industry rather than addressing the issue at hand. “Wokeness and aggressive monetization is destroying videogames,” said Uhrik when it was his turn to speak. “One thing that is definitely destroying video games is the crazy, woke ideology and political correctness which is being forced…
