A New PlayStation Presentation, Possibly A State Of Play, Is Coming Next Week – Report

by

PlayStation’s recent State of Play presentations have each highlighted one game: Ghost of Yotei in July and the new James Bond game, 007: First Light, from IO Interactive earlier this month. If a new report is accurate, that means we could see two big PlayStation events in a single month. Interestingly, NateTheHate2 correctly predicted the date of the latest Nintendo Direct at the beginning of September.

Merge Match March is coming to Nintendo Switch simultaneously with PC Steam on October 23

by

As a huge fan, I’m so excited to hear that the Switch version is coming out on the *same day* as the PC version they announced last July! It’s great they’re basing both versions on the mobile game, but getting rid of those microtransactions and adding some improvements for us console and PC players. And the Switch version will even let you play with the touchscreen when it’s not docked – that’s awesome!

Even Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell Can’t Charm Their Way Out of This One

by

The movie isn’t about David and Sarah falling in love, but rather about them running out of reasons *not* to be together. The chemistry between Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie – he with a natural charm, she radiating even with unusual costumes – suggests they *should* be a couple. This raises an interesting question: even if someone claims to be happy alone, do they owe it to themselves to explore a good relationship? However, the film, *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*, doesn’t really explore that idea. It assumes David and Sarah are just avoiding deeper problems and turns into a predictable, somewhat bland, journey of self-discovery where they overcome their personal issues to find happiness as a couple. Instead of therapy, they’re guided by a mystical GPS (voiced by Jodie Turner-Smith) that sends them on a road trip after a wedding, both driving cars rented from a quirky agency run by Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. This GPS leads them to mysterious doors hidden in the countryside, and each door transports them to important moments from their past.

Only Murders in the Building Recap: Party Fowl

Good news for fans: Richard Kind is back as Vince this episode, and his eye patch is gone, suggesting he’s recovered from his eye infection. Meanwhile, Oliver is trying to show he’s not self-centered by taking the lead on the investigation. He’s assembled the murder board and brought in Vince for help. Since both Vince and Lester are birdwatchers, Vince might be able to connect the birds listed in Lester’s ledger to the billionaires who were at the casino the night of the crime.
