Baby Driver director Edgar Wright is reportedly one of the top choices to direct James Bond 25.

Deadline reports that Wright is among the frontrunners to replace Danny Boyle, who left the project due to “creative differences.” Some of the other top choices reportedly also include Jean-Marc Vallee, (Big Little Lies), David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), and Yann Demange (White Boy Rick).

Vallee might reportedly be too busy to take on Bond 25, while Wright has supposedly expressed interest in directing a Bond film.

It takes an entire year from start to finish to publish a new set of the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG). The process, handled by Creatures, Inc., is involved and thorough. It’s all-hands-on-deck, as game data designers, illustrators, play testers, and even marketing personnel strive to create one of the most popular children’s toys in the world.

Creatures, Inc. works to incorporate new game mechanics and popular characters from the TV show to remain consistent with those two core pillars of the Pokemon brand, while also paying acute attention into the strategies of competitive players so that the game remains balanced and fresh. Sometimes, the way competitive players use cards entirely alter how the next expansion set is made.

Ghoul, the second Netflix/Phantom Films collaboration after Sacred Games, brings aboard the folks at Blumhouse (Get Out, Insidious) for something spectacular. A horror story set several years in India’s future, the three-part miniseries presents a world in which outlawed books are burned, a la Ray Bradbury, and ordinary Muslim citizens are unjustly branded terrorists, a la… well, America, India, Myanmar, take your pick.

“Enhanced interrogation” officer Nida Rahim (Radhika Apte), a cog in this fascist regime, turns her own father over to the government for compliance training. His crime? Teaching his students philosophy from outside the state’s syllabus, an action deemed anti-national. This display of loyalty lands Nida an unexpected promotion to an anti-terrorist black site, an underground prison where terrorist mastermind Ali Saeed (Mahesh Balraj) is being shipped for torture. Unbeknownst to the folks in charge however, Saeed doesn’t show up alone. As he steps out of his transport van in the pouring rain, the barking guard dogs go eerily silent. Something ghastly is in the ether, and we may just end up siding with it.

Today, at the Pokémon World Championships in Nashville, TN, the official logo for the upcoming Pokémon: Detective Pikachu film was revealed, along with details about what fans can expect when the film releases next summer.

IGN’s Senior Editor of Comics, Joshua Yehl, is in attendance and shared a screenshot of the logo, and revealed that this will be the “first ever live-action Pokémon movie.”

In addition, the movie will “feature a battle between Pikachu and Charizard, and they prompted the crowd to chant for each Pokémon, shout “Critical hit!”, and cheers/boo – and they recorded it to use in the actual movie.”

Nintendo developer, Shigeru Miyamoto, has criticised the free-to-play model, and says companies should “deliver games at reasonable prices” instead.

Miyamoto’s comments were made at the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference (CEDEC), with Bloomberg reporting that Miyamoto has said that Nintendo is doubling down on its “fixed-cost model” despite the lack of success with it so far.

“We’re lucky to have such a giant market, so our thinking is, if we can deliver games at reasonable prices to as many people as possible, we will see big profits,” Miyamoto said.

Nvidia announced its next generation of graphics cards, the RTX 20 series. If you really can’t wait, the new RTX 20 series GPUs release date is September 20 and you can preorder the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2070 founders’ editions directly from Nvidia. Walmart jumped ahead of today’s announcement by dropping the price on a whole bunch of prebuilt gaming PCs with GTX 10-series cards.

Sure, building your own massive gaming rig is rewarding and can be fun, but there’s no shame in a prebuilt PC. They’re built with the same components you’d likely use, and the days of weird, proprietary rigs with soldered-on components are pretty much behind us. These PCs are upgradable in the same way you could upgrade a custom-build, so if you don’t want to spend the time (or risk the headache of doing it yourself), this is a great way to dive head-first into the world of PC gaming.

Fortnite’s rift is acting oddly again, firing lightning down onto the map.

The huge rift in Fortnite’s sky is beginning to shrink, but it’s not going quietly. It’s begun to spew lightning bolts in the desert, at a specific point in the Paradise Palms area, as Season 5 draws to a close.

Map changes this late in the season aren’t unusual, what with Season 3’s meteor crash and Season 4’s rocket launch kicking in a few weeks before they ended.
