Legendary Chiptune Composer Cites Crippling Tinnitus as Inspiration

Posted on by Kyle Duggan

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Renowned chiptune composer Joel Grady revealed that all of his award winning soundtracks were directly inspired by his debilitating tinnitus, which causes him to hear a constant, high-pitched ringing in his ears.

“I don’t know how much longer I can live like this,” said Grady. “I never wanted to make music. I wasn’t a gamer growing up. Hell, I didn’t even know ‘chiptune’ was a thing until I turned thirty and the ringing started. I was complaining about it to my buddy who happened to be working on an indie game, and he said the unbearable sounds I was hearing were exactly what they were looking for. I honestly don’t know why anyone would choose to listen to this. I’ve got a stable job now, I guess, but I’d rather have peace.”

Grady’s wife, Melissa, said that his condition and resultant career were ruining their relationship.

“He’s just not the man I married anymore,” said Melissa. “We used to talk and laugh all day. Now he can barely hold a conversation. Not only can he not hear what I’m saying, but half the time, ‘inspiration’ will strike him halfway through a sentence. He’ll just run off to write a new song. I felt bad for him when the tinnitus started, because he couldn’t get a good night’s sleep. Now it affects both of us, because he wakes me up when he springs out of bed in the middle of the night to compose. It doesn’t help that he is audibly crying through all of this.”

Birdfeeder, an indie studio that specializes in roguelikes and 2D platformers, related a meeting they had with the renowned composer.

“We almost landed him for a project we’re working on,” said Neil McMillan, a lead developer at Birdfeeder. “He actually met with us at our office, which seemed really cool at the time. We couldn’t believe that we had a shot at hiring him, but it fell apart pretty quickly. Once we told him that the game’s protagonist was a regular guy who falls under a terrible curse that is also the source of his powers, he just started to weep uncontrollably. We happened to have a mic in the room and got some decent samples out of that, but he didn’t stick around and won’t return our calls anymore. It’s such a shame.”

At press time, Grady was reportedly speaking at a gaming convention, begging his fans to explain how they found his music appealing.

Deadpool Breaks Fourth Wall To Give Full Mint Mobile Commercial

Posted on by Charles Bill

LOS ANGELES — A preview screening for the upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine” featured a fourth wall-shattering moment where the title character turned directly to the camera and presented a thirty second Mint Mobile commercial, sources confirm.

“Alright popcorn munchers, listen up,” said the Merc with a Mouth, who was joined by both Wolverine and a green cartoon fox. “Sure, Thunder From Down Under over there has a Nokia flip phone because he’s from the 1800s and Canadian, but you and I are normal. We have the best, most modern phones and we don’t want to pay for huge contracts. When I was on AT&T, I could barely afford my daily chimichanga. But with Mint Mobile, you can get unlimited data for only $15 a month. That’s almost like the unlimited power that wrinkly-chinned Grimace got when he had those power stones. Speaking of power stones, I have a couple in my pants right now. Scan the QR code on the screen while I make a smoothie.”

Although the ad is expected to bring millions of dollars in business to Mint, not all participants in the film were thrilled with the scene’s blatant consumerism.

“Listen bub, movies are about having fun and eating Twizzlers, not whatever this is,” said an exhausted fifty-five year old Wolverine as the scene continued. “When I had my emotional sendoff in Logan, which I’m now undercutting by being in this movie, I didn’t turn to camera to promote the tourism board of Australia. Trust me, I wanted to, they offered me a lot of money, and the koalas are something special. I joined up with Wade to kick some ass and cut people in half, and all he can talk about is this cell phone carrier and something called Aviation Gin. I don’t know what those things are, but he keeps making snide remarks about them like it’s an inside joke. I’m going back to musicals after this.”

Despite the controversy, experts say this kind of guerrilla marketing is not unprecedented in cinema.

“Celebrities use their films to hock products all the time,” said film critic Leonard Maltin. “George Clooney only made Ocean’s 11-13 because he knew he could portray Danny Ocean as a massive fan of Nespresso. Rihanna appeared in Battleship as a character desperate for low-cost, high-quality lingerie, and her climactic moment comes when she discovers Fenty Beauty. David Fincher had to cut a scene in Se7en in which Gwyneth Paltrow’s disembodied head espouses the health benefits of her Goop vagina candles. And it’s a worse film for it.”

At press time, sneak peek attendees described a scene where Deadpool fights hordes of mutants while promoting “Welcome to Wrexham” on FX.

  • Fixed the issue where Parrots and Monkeys placed on shoulders would disappear if the game client was forcibly closed.
  • Fixed the issue where Half-Height Blackstone Stairs can be constructed in mid-air.
  • Fixed the issue where the displayed range of Workshop type buildings does not change after modifying their coverage area.
  • Fixed the issue where tribesmen assigned to maintain bonfires would not actively supply fuel to the Air Heater.

Celebrity Podcast About Fixing the Planet Brought To You By Company Actively Destroying It

Posted on by Garry Kerls

LOS ANGELES — Self-proclaimed climate activist Ezra Miller has teamed up with Spotify and BP to launch a podcast spotlighting the changes individuals can make to help combat whatever it is that’s destroying the environment. 

“Each week I’ll talk to some of my best friends about everyday life hacks we can do to make the Earth a little greener,” said Miller in a recent interview. “Hacks like turning off the infinity pool fountain when you’re not using it, and fueling our cars with the cleanest burning gasoline from BP. I’ll reveal more at the premiere, which will be held in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, as I’m currently only able to make public appearances in international waters. Also, the garbage patch is beautiful this time of year.”

The podcast, which will be recorded at Miller’s private Hawiian estate, will fly in celebrity guests like Taylor Swift, Kendall Kardashian, and Jay-Z to talk about the little things in life they do to save energy and reduce consumption. It will highlight significant global dilemmas to the listener and explain why it is all their fault.

“Human beings are like walking factories, taking in healthy oxygen and expelling harmful carbon dioxide,” explained BP’s head publicist Marsha Spellman. “We can only hope that ‘Our Problem’ hosted by Ezra Miller can implement positive change in the lives of our listeners for the sake of our planet.”

Climate change activists welcomed the news of the upcoming podcast.

“The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is currently the highest it has ever been in human history,” said Chad Kinney, CEO of Just Stop Warming, an anti-climate change non-profit primarily funded by BP, Exxon, and Shell. “It’s up to us, the children of mother Earth, to reverse the inexplicable emissions that are attacking our precious ozone layer. For all we know, it’s due to the fact that the Earth is holding too much sweet, sweet oil within its withering crust.”

At press time, Spotify had just greenlit season 2 of ‘Our Problem,’ adding Elon Musk as a permanent co-host.

Every Scott Pilgrim Character Ranked By How Likely It Is I Would Have Dated Them In My 20s

Posted on by Jacob VanGundy

As a queer guy who plays bass, with one foot in the nerd world and one in the hipster world, Scott Pilgrim was a huge point of identity for me in my late teens and 20s. First, as the comics, then the movie, it felt custom-made to appeal to my particular tastes. A decade later, with an animated series reigniting its cultural relevance, I’m forced to look back on the franchise and its characters with the same combination of nostalgia and embarrassment I do my 20s in general. What better way to do that than by breaking down which characters I would have dated (if i was lucky enough to have a chance) during my 20s? 

44. Knives Chau

I wasn’t dating high schoolers in my 20s. Who do you think I am, Scott Pilgrim? 

43. Tamara Chen

I already said I wasn’t dating high schoolers in my 20s. At least Tamara didn’t date Scott Pilgrim. 

42. Roxie Richter

Roxie is way too intense for young me. Even setting aside the fact she’s a lesbian, I’d be way too scared of her to want any sort of romantic relationship with her. I would try to befriend but she’d probably think I was hitting on her and smash me to death with a hammer. 

41. Gideon

I would not have dated Gideon in my 20s because I already dated him when I was 18. He was an absolute nightmare boyfriend. He was manipulative, cruel, self-involved, and the most pretentious guy I’ve ever met. Truly an evil ex. 

40. Nega Scott

The manifestation of Scott’s narcissism and self-deception would frankly be too high maintenance for me in my 20s. He’s also pure evil, or whatever, but mostly it just seems like a lot of baggage. 

39. Joel MacMillan 

The bass player for Crash and the Boys gets ranked this low because he’s a guy who plays bass. While I was in college I had no interest in dating a guy who played bass, because I was already a guy who played bass. I was pretty self-involved but even I wasn’t interested in dating myself. 

38. Julie Powers

Even when I was 20 I absolutely hated parties. Julie seems to exist exclusively at parties. It would just be too much for my anxiety-addled heart, which is a shame because someone who would call me on my BS and make me socialize is probably exactly who I needed to be with. 

37. Kyle Katayanagi 

As a student in the humanities, I had no time for those creeps over in STEM fields. Now that I’m in my 30s I still have no time for those creeps over in the STEM fields. Robots are cool and all but knowing how to make robots? No thanks. 

36. Ken Katayanagi

Everything I said about his twin applies to Ken but his outfit makes him slightly hotter than his brother. I wouldn’t have liked him or respected him, but I for sure would have hooked up with him anyway. 

35. Matthew Patel

Matthew Patel is a theater guy which eliminates him automatically from the dating pool. Sure, I’d have made out with him if we were hanging out with a mutual friend or something. But I’d be too worried about feeling pressured into seeing a local production of Cats to actually date him.  

34. Todd Ingram

Todd is undeniably hot and lust would have provided some initial attraction, but it wouldn’t last. Being a guy who plays bass is strike one, overconfidence is strike two, and being a vegan is strike three. In my defense, there were a lot fewer vegan-friendly restaurants back then. 

33. Scott Pilgrim 

I’m not proud to admit it but I would have gone out with Scott a few times. Honestly, anyone with an X-Men patch on their jacket would get at least one date. I’d figure out that Scott was an even more self-involved version of myself eventually, but it would have taken at least a few weeks. 

32. Lawrence West Pilgrim

Scott’s younger brother only briefly appears in the comics, but he’s a sneaky version of the guy who plays bass, having loaned his bass to his brother. I might date him for as long as a month before discovering that unforgivable flaw. 

31. Young Neil 

I’d end up dating Young Neil on and off just because we’d both frequently be the guy hanging out on a couch while our cooler friends were hanging out. His bass playing and obsession with Scott would always lead me to break up with him, but eventually, we’d both be playing a Nintendo handheld at a party and get back together for a few days. 

30. Mr. Chau

Knive’s dad would be ranked much lower if I met him before dating Scott. But assuming I met him after dating Scott Pilgrim I think his desire to murder Scott would be enough of a draw for at least a brief crush on my part. 

29. Gideon

I dated Gideon before my freshman year and it didn’t work out, but I probably would have taken him back. Honestly, I don’t even remember why we broke up. I’m sure I had my reasons for breaking up with him, but at the least, I would have had a rebound fling with him. 

28. Plumtree

Don’t get me wrong, I love Canadian indie rock band Plumtree as much as anyone but I just wouldn’t have had the confidence to date an entire band in my 20s. Still, if I’d heard Go or Only in the Movies live in a Toronto dive bar I would have taken a stab at it. 

27. Lucas “Crash” Wilson

The frontman of Crash and the Boys, Lucas has few defining characteristics. But being a frontman in a band and having comically short songs would have been enough personality for me to take him out.

26. Sandra and Monique

I know exactly how this would play out. A friend would try to set me up with either Sandra or Monique, but never having seen them separately I’d forget which one. I’d have a few awkward interactions, hoping to figure it out, but I’d never piece it together. After a few attempts, I’d resolve to never talk to either of them again to avoid a potentially awkward situation. 

25. Simon Lee

It’s a big reveal in the comics that Kim’s ex, Simon Lee, was just a regularly nerdy guy. “Regular nerdy guy” describes most of the guys I dated or wanted to date in my 20s, so Simon’s odds were pretty good. 

24. Cole

Cole’s only characteristic is being a drummer. I was pretty into drummers in my 20s. Sure, let’s party.

23. Michael Comeau

Comeau’s defining feature is that he knows who everyone is. All throughout college people would approach me knowing my name and details about me, who I thought of as complete strangers. I would have dated Comeau just so he could tell me who those people were and how they knew me.

AEW News: WWE name held talks with company

Posted on by Jake Skudder

AEW News: All Elite Wrestling has reportedly held talks with a popular WWE personality who is set to leave shortly.

According to a new report from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Kayla Braxton (real name Kayla Becker) has been speaking to AEW.

“It might be AEW, it might not. There definitely was talk between her and AEW. She was looking to other things as well. It was one of those things, I was told she could see the writing on the wall” the writer claimed.

AEW News: Kayla Braxton held talks with All Elite

“They pretty much decided that Cathy Kelley and Jackie Redmond were gonna be the top two ones” Meltzer added. So she was number three so I think by that she kind of could see maybe it’s time to go somewhere else” (transcription via Cultaholic).

Braxton recently confirmed that she would be leaving WWE for a “West Coast-based opportunity,” but we do not currently know exactly what that even is.

Could she be heading to All Elite? It is certainly a possibility.

WWE News: Kayla Braxton makes huge announcement

Posted on by Jake Skudder

WWE News: Popular WWE personality Kayla Braxton has confirmed that she will be leaving the company after 8 years.

Braxton took to Instagram to confirm that she will be leaving the company for free agency in the next week or so: “After nearly 8 years holding the microphone on WWE television, I am setting it down to pursue my next chapter. Next week at the world’s most famous arena, I will be officially signing off.

“During my years with WWE, I was able to master the art of the back-stage interview. I hope I was able to turn minutes into moments for you who watched week to week and maybe even ushered in a new fan base.

“My banter with Paul Heyman became the stuff of legend, and I am so thankful for all he has done to elevate my career. I gained a wealth of knowledge from the Wise man and for that, I’ll be eternally grateful.”

WWE News: Kayla Braxton leaving the company

“In 2016, the legendary Michael Cole brought me in to begin my WWE career as a ring announcer with NXT, but I quickly found myself touring the globe, hosting hall of fame ceremonies, kickoff shows and helping launch WWE’s first weekly morning show, “The Bump.” I exited “The Bump” after more than 200 shows and a move to Los Angeles” she added.

“Now on the west coast, I have been offered new opportunities that will further utilize the skills I gained working for the largest sports entertainment company in the world.

“I am extremely thankful to Triple H, Nick Khan, WWE and all of its partners for allowing me to be a trusted voice on WWE television for all these years. Thank you to every single person who made me feel like this was my home and that I was a part of this family.

“Thank you for taking a chance on me and welcoming this outsider with open arms. I hope I made you proud and I’d love it if you’d stay with me for this next chapter. I’m excited to reveal to all of you what I have coming up next!!!!”

Early Access Hotfix 1 June 21

Save game fix incoming!

 

ASKA Hotfix – 1300 CEST 21-JUN-24

Hey Vikings,
We've made a minor change to how game saving is handled. This is in response to the handful of players that saw save game corruption after hitting both different save options in quick succession.
This patch is a single change to eliminate any possibility of save corruption through this method. Your existing save games are not affected.
We are deeply sorry to those who experienced this issue, and have moved as quickly as possible to rectify.
The next fix we're looking at is to auto-assign multiplayer regions by IP (but they will still be possible to override). In the meantime, players are reminded to look for the drop down at the bottom on the screen when you go into the Multiplayer menu.
As a quick reminder, please utilise the bug reporting template pinned in the bug reporting sub-forum for any issues you are having to allow us to properly investigate.
We appreciate all your feedback & are trying to get round to everyone as quickly as we can.
Thank you for making this such a successful launch for us! ❤

 

Those are the patch notes on June 22 for ASKA.
