Boeing Reminds Passengers Planes Are All Still in Early Access

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Kelley Greene

ARLINGTON, Va — After weeks of reported malfunctions and passenger injuries, Boeing responded to customer concerns by reminding the community that its planes are still in early access.

“All of our released planes currently remain in early access, so some issues are to be expected,” Boeing said in a statement. “Fortunately, many airlines were willing to purchase our planes at full price, knowing that they may very well never be ready for a production release. Early access is extremely important to Boeing, because we truly believe that the development of airplanes is a collaborative process between our manufacturing teams and airline passengers themselves.”

“In addition, the money earned from these planes being in use for the last 25 years will continue to help crowdfund development for bug fixes, like making sure the door stays on once the plane reaches altitude.”

Sean Pullman, a frequent flier, was less than enthused by the admission.

“How have I been paying full price to fly on planes that aren’t even ready to be released to the public? I just need to get from one place to another, without dying. I shouldn’t have to be sending in bug reports for every missing bolt, busted MCAS, loose tire, overheating cable bundle, or hydraulic gear fire. And honestly, I’m not feeling great about pointing out issues with Boeing’s planes after what happened to the last guy.”

The FAA also released a response to Boeing’s statement through its spokesperson, Kay Whitley.

“Ultimately, our job as a government agency is to take a step back and allow airline manufacturers to decide how best to regulate themselves, and then do investigations into the resulting issues. Once we’ve determined that the companies are indeed negligent, we come up with a fine for them to pay that looks like a large sum of money but is really absolutely meaningless beneath the wave of profits they make every year. Besides, it’s not like anyone’s dead.”

At press time, Whitley was seen confirming her next United flight would be on an AAA Airbus.

Gamers Under Attack? Congress Votes to Ban Lower Half of Every TikTok Video

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Hard Drive Reporter

WASHINGTON DC — The House voted to approve a blatantly anti-gamer bill today that would see the bottom half of every Tiktok video, often a safe refuge for gamers as they watch a cooking video or whatever, banned.

“Is any gamer really surprised they chose to ban the bottom half and not the top half?” one online commenter going by the username ImJustMen said. “It’s a targeted attack on us. They know we cannot physically endure a complete 14 second dance video without visual gamer support.”

The disturbing bill now goes to the senate, where it’s fate is uncertain. But Biden has said he intends to approve it if given a chance.

“No surprise — Biden is nothing more than a puppet for Sweet Baby Inc,” one online commenter said. “Being a gamer in this country is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but I refuse to give in. I’m downloading a ton of 2x speed Minecraft gameplay right now and will just hold a second phone halfway over my first so I can get through these videos without clicking away. If Uncle Sam wants to take that from me he’ll have to come and try.”

As of press time, the devs behind Subway Surfers were reportedly beginning to wonder if they should spent more on their Washington lobbying.

Game Studio Grinds Employees Into Dirt for 72 on Metacritic

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Matt Ringler

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A recently leaked internal memo from video game developer Jamtown Studios about working conditions leading up to their recently released character-action game Harmonious has made the rounds of social media today.

Per the memo:

“We are in a dire situation. We must band together and push through to the finish line. This is going to take a lot of sacrifices, a lot of late nights, a lot of missed time with loved ones, but it’ll all be worth it in the end. We are creating something life changing. Something that’ll leave an impact on this world. Something that will stay just above having a 6 handle on Metacritic.

If you have any questions, please follow up with your manager or Jennifer as I will be on vacation with my family until the end of the month. Get the patch out.”

At press time, Harmonious currently holds a 72 on Metacritic.

“We were working 80+ hour weeks. Some people were sleeping in their cars” said a Senior Engineer who requested to remain anonymous. “We had a running bet each day to see who would get a migraine first before lunch. The winner would get the sole Excedrin pill corporate is willing to pay for.”

Reviews of Harmonious noted that the game is “uninspired,” “relies heavily on overplayed story tropes,” and “has a combat system that is fun for the first 30 minutes, but becomes bland very quickly.”

Additional Jamtown Studios devs, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the working conditions required to receive the elusive C- grade.

“We had people collapsing in the halls,” said a Junior Artist. “In my area of the office, it wasn’t uncommon to hear someone scream in pain. It was their hand seizing up from overuse. You’d just be glad it wasn’t you and keep going.”

“We’d constantly get new feature requests from upper management or department heads and just pray they would change their mind again before we wasted any time working on them,” said a Producer on the gameplay team. “I just felt so bad for our QA Testers on the team too. You’d see them come in, but never see them leave.”

Harmonious is currently available for purchase and discounted at all major retailers.

Former WWE Superstar Teases Huge AEW Debut Tonight

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Jake Skudder

A former WWE Superstar has teased a massive debut in AEW tonight, with the ‘Big Business’ episode of AEW Dynamite set to take place.

Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks in WWE, took to her Instagram Stories to write ‘Bosston,’ a clear reference to the Big Business event which takes place tonight in, you guessed it, Boston.

AEW has been touting ‘Bo$$ton’ for some time in the build-up to the event, indicating to fans that it would be Mone debuting tonight…without outright saying it.

AEW News: Mercedes Mone teases debut tonight

This is pretty much the same tactic the company used when bringing in CM Punk back in 2021; teasing but never outright saying it until it happened.

Mone/Banks was a major star in WWE, and with her appearances in the likes of The Mandalorian, there’s a good chance that she could bring a pretty substantial audience with her to the Turner network.

Having said that, it is worth noting again that All Elite Wrestling nor Mercedes have outright said that they’re working together publicly, although Fightful did report a few months ago that Mone has been under contract for “quite some time.”

The ratings for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite will most likely get a big bump too, with many anticipating that it will jump over the 1 million viewer mark for the first time in quite some time due to Mercedes’ anticipated debut.

Perfect Day in Silent Hill Ruined by Tourist and His Traumatic Past

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Nick Coffman

SILENT HILL – A wonderful day about town came to a screeching halt as Benjamin Moore, a well-traveled everyman, drove through Silent Hill haunted by his traumatic past, residents confirmed.

According to eye-witness reports, blood curdling screams and a thick fog replaced the bird chirps and rays of sunshine that were making for a pretty normal day in this sleepy town.

“It’s just very inconsiderate to make your problems everyone else’s,’” local florist Patty Mills said, brandishing a shotgun and a windbreaker. “I’ve got problems too buddy, but you don’t see me ruining everyones’ day with fog and fetus monsters.”

Silent Hillian Weston Payne and his family say they were looking forward to their annual trip to Lakeside Amusement Park. They now find themselves locked in their car, waiting for Moore to move on.

“Living in this beautiful town comes at a cost. Every once in a while, some trauma-dumping tourist rides on through and opens up The Otherworld. It’s just the price of small town living, I guess,” Payne said from a crack in his car door window. “Some people go to therapy to work out their issues. Others let their troubles manifest into phallic worm monsters that torment the locals.”

Going against the grain, some locals are in support of Moore as he faces whatever is eating him.

“The only way to paradise is through hell. We deserve all the suffering that will soon commence,” said a cloaked individual who refused to share their name. “The Order will rise again and we have Benjamin Moore and his daddy issues to thank for that. I wish a pleasant suffering to you all.”

At press time, mounds of flesh without arms, which I can only assume symbolize Moore’s cold relationship with his father, could be seen running amok on 5th street.

Logan Paul Calls Out NBA Legend for WWE SummerSlam Showdown

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Jake Skudder

Influencer turned WWE Superstar Logan Paul has called out an NBA Legend for a showdown at the WWE SummerSlam 2024 event.

Speaking during the latest episode of the ImPaulsive podcast, the WWE United States Champion was the first to reveal that SummerSlam would be taking place from Cleveland this year.

Cleveland is Logan and his brother Jake’s home, so having the event take place from the Cleveland Browns Stadium is clearly a big deal for both of them, with Jake likely to be making an appearance following his showdown with Mike Tyson.

Logan Paul vs LeBron James?

When Paul’s co-host on the podcast suggested LeBron James as an opponent, Paul indicated that he would “probably” be stepping in the ring with the basketball great.

Whilst we do not know if that is actually something the company is considering, it would be a massive get for one of the GOATs to enter the ring at a WWE Premium Live Event, even if he isn’t actually going to be wrestling Logan.

With WWE looking to put more of their PLE shows in bigger stadiums going forward, there is a very good chance that we’ll see more “local” stars appearing on said events, so getting the likes of LeBron would be a good way to push the show to a more mainstream audience and likely get WWE featured on the likes of SportsCenter etc.

Jonathan Majors Sentenced to One Year in DC Extended Universe

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Ted Curtis

After being convicted of assault and harassment last year, former MCU star Jonathan Majors was officially sentenced to one year of starring in DC Extended Universe films today.

As part of his sentence, the actor will be expected to act in numerous projects featuring characters from the DC universe for the span of at least a year, as well as studio-mandated reshoots, promotional videos, and inevitable tax write-offs.

“Justice has been served,” Veronica Knight, district attorney, said on courthouse steps. “Mr. Majors will be away from society, thinking about the pain he caused while forced to shoot in the less successful superhero movies.”

Ex-Marvel director James Gunn said he was excited for the court-ordered addition to his team.

“I’ve got a plan for the DCU, and Mr. Majors fits right in,” Gunn said in a statement. “Maybe we’ll have him play Starro the Conqueror or Polka-Dot Man’s long-lost cousin.”

“I’d love to see him team up with Ezra Miller if possible,” said one fan who came to support Majors at the sentencing. “Innocent until proven guilty – and then thereafter as well – in my book.”

Dan Francis, the court-appointed film producer tasked with overseeing Majors’ sentence in the DCEU, spoke to reporters outside the courthouse. “I will ensure he serves every minute of his sentence,” Francis said. “He’ll be playing a wide range of characters, from obscure villains to forgotten sidekicks. We’re even considering him for the role of Bat-Mite, just to really drive home the punishment.”

Majors has declined any comment on his future career plans. Representations from Marvel say they’ve severely altered their future MCU projects in light of the actor’s sentence.

“We’re scrambling to find a replacement for Majors in our upcoming projects,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige admitted. “Although honestly I think as long as we shoot it right we can put pretty much anyone in a superhero outfit and we’ll get one of those weird public applause breaks at movie theaters across the country.”

At press time Judge Maxwell Thompson, who presided over the case, had one final comment as he left the courthouse. “I hope this sentence sends a clear message to Hollywood,” Thompson said. “If you commit a crime, the long arm of the law will find you and make you do a cameo in Shazam: Fury of The Gods.”
