Talk Show Legend Larry King Dies At 87
Talk show host Larry King, whose career spanned several decades and included a number of cameo appearances as himself in movies and TV shows, has died at 87. King had been treated for COVID-19 and had previously been in the ICU.
“For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television, and digital media, Larry’s many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster,” said Ora Media in a post on King’s Twitter. “Additionally, while it was his name appearing in the shows’ titles, Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs, and himself as merely an unbiased conduit between the guest and the audience.”
King didn’t take himself seriously in interviews, leading to some pretty hilarious moments when his guests were allowed to steer the conversation. For example, Ben Schwartz spoke to him about the then-upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, prompting King to attempt a hedgehog voice that he thought would fit the movie.
Alongside his hosting, King also made appearances in dozens of films and television shows, usually playing himself. This included a role in the original Ghostbusters, Shrek 2, WWE Raw, and Enemy of the State.
Tony Hawk Dev Vicarious Visions Reportedly Making Diablo 2 Remake At Blizzard
Activision Blizzard recently made the surprising decision to merge Vicarious Visions–the studio behind Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2–into Blizzard to support other projects. One of those projects is, at least reportedly, a Diablo 2 remake while others at Blizzard continue working on Diablo 4.
According to Bloomberg, issues with the development of Warcraft III: Reforged made Blizzard reconsider the teams it had developing games moving forward, with its classic games “Team 1” being pulled off the project and replaced by a division that is also handling Diablo 4. Among the developers also working on that project includes the Vicarious Visions team. It’s the second time a Tony Hawk developer has been absorbed into another studio, with Neversoft joining Infinity Ward in 2014.
That Diablo 2 remake hasn’t been formally announced by Blizzard, but it could be a stopgap release to make the wait for Diablo 4 a little easier. What won’t be easy is dealing with the studio behind one of 2020’s best games getting pulled off its own projects to assist with it. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 not only managed to replicate what made the original games great, such as the level design and sound, but also delivered a core skating experience that felt like it was made today. Nearly every song from the original two games was kept for the remake, as well.
The Diablo franchise will certainly have no shortage of releases going forward if everything reported comes to fruition. Alongside Diablo 4, Blizzard will also release Diablo Immortal for mobile devices, which features classes from previous games like Demon Hunter, Monk, Crusader, and Barbarian. Blizzard continues work on World of Warcraft and Overwatch 2, as well.

Bungie Is Changing This Weekend’s Destiny 2 Trials Of Osiris Map, Thanks To An Exploit
The Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 is already extremely tough, and that’s before players learn how to exploit certain maps to make it extremely difficult to kill them. Such an exploit exists on this weekend’s Trials map, Fragment, and as a result, Bungie is changing the map for the duration of the weekend.
Bungie made the announcement on Twitter, although it didn’t provide too many details about what to expect for Trials for the rest of the weekend.
Due to issues where players can get out of bounds on Fragment, Trials of Osiris will be updated to feature an alternate map on Saturday at 9:00 AM Pacific.
Any players in an active Trials of Osiris match will experience an error code when this change goes into effect.
— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) January 22, 2021
So we know when to expect a new map– 9 AM PT on Saturday–but not what that map will be. In the meantime, you can still play Trials on Fragment if you so choose, although it sounds like it’s risky, since players utilizing the exploit to get out of the map are likely to have a distinct advantage over those who do.
Things have been rough in Destiny 2 and Trials for a lot of this season, partially because of issues with the mode and partially because players are struggling to come to grips with the new Stasis abilities added with the Beyond Light expansion. The weekend multiplayer mode was disabled for more than a month after the launch of Beyond Light on November 10, due to an issue Bungie didn’t elaborate on. And in its most recent update, Bungie cut back on the damage protection and effective range of Shatterdive, an ability that players had complained was too powerful and was offsetting player-vs.-player mode balance.
Players tend to take that balance very seriously, especially when it comes to the Trials of Osiris. The multiplayer mode is only available on weekends and puts players into the toughest PvP challenge in Destiny 2. To excel, players need to win matches on a single map, with a goal of trying to win seven in a row with no losses. Doing so constitutes a “flawless” Trials run and earns successful players some of the best loot in the game.
The Matrix Conspiracy: Was The Plot Stolen?
Author Sophia Stewart claims that her story “The Third Eye” created The Matrix and Terminator franchises, and even took those responsible to court. Dave dives into the book, lawsuit, and court documents to see if these popular franchises actually ripped off “The Third Eye”.
