Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Will Introduce Peacemaker's Chukwudi Iwuji As The High Evolutionary
It’s been a shockingly busy night for MCU fans. Not only did Marvel Studios take Hall H by storm to debut brand-new footage of the upcoming movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and not only did we get our first-ever look at the roadmap to the end of Phase 4 and the plans for Phase 5 (including the next two Avengers movies and the upcoming Thunderbolts film), we also got a handful of new villains tossed into the mix as well.
James Gunn officially announced that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will set the team against none other than the High Evolutionary, played by Peacemaker’s Chukwudi Iwuji–and to really drive home the news, Iwuji took Hall H by storm, showing up in costume and fully in-character to deliver a scathing monologue about how he can’t wait to evolve us disgusting humans into something truly beautiful.
Iwuji’s over-the-top theatrics were really emphasized by his metallic purple costume–truly the sort of bad guy you’d expe…
Hacker Collective Runs OG Doom Using Ikea LightBulb Components
A hacker collective has figured out how to run the 1993 shooter Doom using the components of an Ikea lightbulb–because why not. If it has a computer inside, it can probably run Doom, and this is the latest demonstration of that.
Next-hack published a lengthy blog post detailing how the group disassembled the approximately $20 TRÅDFRI LED wireless lightbulb to extract its RF module and combine that with other components–a bit more flash memory, a cheap160×128 SPI display, etcetera–to build the setup.
There were some restrictions the group put on themselves, however, namely that the “microcontroller [must have] reasonably limited computing power and/or memory, with respect to vanilla Doom’s minimum requirements.” On top of limiting computing power, next-hack required themselves to play Doom using the embedded microcontroller, not some replacement.
The result is impressive, as Doom runs pretty smooth using the lightbulb’s components. You can check out the gamepla…
James Wan And Jason Blum Merging Their Companies To Create A Horror Powerhouse – Report
The New York Times is reporting that contemporary horror icons Jason Blum and James Wan are to soon merge their companies, Blumhouse Productions, and Atomic Monster, respectively, into a monster house of horror.
Blumhouse, known for its low-budget approach to horror movies, is currently under a first-look deal with Universal, which would extend to Atomic Monster as long as the deal closes. Wan’s similar deal with Warner Bros. ended earlier this year after seven years.
Talking to the Times, Blum talked about why the merger makes sense and how Wan makes him feel complete as a filmmaker.
“James is probably 70 to 80 percent artist and 30 to 20 percent business person, and I am the reverse,” Blum explained. “We really do complement each other, yin and yang, which is part of what makes this so exciting.”
After merging, it’s expected that both production companies will continue to operate as their own labels, with each maintaining its own creative autonomy and se…
Journey of a Roach Review
Nobody really likes roaches, do they? They’re pretty gross looking, after all, and they serve no real purpose other than to wake you up by skittering along the wood floor of your bedroom in the middle of the night. Yet science suggests that these nasty creatures would outlast humans in a nuclear apocalypse, which is the basis for Journey of a Roach, a point-and-click adventure game that does the impossible: it makes roaches likable.
Perhaps even more impressive is that it does so without any dialogue. Journey of a Roach tells the story of two roaches: Jim and his clumsy buddy, Bud. Upon getting a glimpse of a flower growing in the barren wasteland of what appears to be a postapocalyptic Earth, Bud tries to guide Jim to the beautiful plant, only to fall deep underground where all sorts of mutated bugs live. On your journey to rescue him, you discover a world full of interesting and varied characters, all brimming with plot and personality despite never speaking a word. …
Kevin Feige And Patty Jenkins' Star Wars Movies Shelved, But Not Taika Waititi's – Report
Movies previously on track for the Star Wars universe from Marvel boss Kevin Feige and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins are no longer in active development, according to a new report by Variety.
In Variety’s analysis, unnamed sources with knowledge of both productions say that the surprise success of underdog Mandlorian, and it outpacing expectations for The Rise of Skywalker has led to a change in strategy for the franchise. Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron was scheduled to come out in December 2023, until it was pulled from Lucasfilm’s release schedule last September with little explanation. Feige’s Star Wars feature was still untitled, and not much was known about the project.
Despite the shake-ups, Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie–first revealed back in 2020–is reportedly still on track. In addition to directing, Waititi will also act in the movie, which he told GamesRadar in 2022 will expand the Star Wars universe.

iiRcade Gold Edition Revealed With Authentic Form Factor, Preorders Live
Home arcade company iiRcade makes some of the best cabinets around, and today it opened preorders for the new Gold Edition lineup. Alongside the previously announced Dead Cells machine, iiRcade Gold Edition includes the customizable Black Edition (with included Double Dragon decals) as well as Space Invaders and Dragon’s Lair models.
Sporting a taller form factor with a curved top, more discrete speaker placement, and the same premium controls and specs as the original iiRcade system, the Gold Edition more closely resembles a real arcade machine now. The marquee also lights up for that authentic arcade look, and it has 128GB of storage space for downloading new titles from the store. Given the tiny file size of most of them, that’s enough for literally hundreds of games without having to delete any, and 11 games (12 on the Dragon’s Lair and Space Invaders models) are included out of the gate.
