The beloved British environmentalist has his own Google Doodle when you search his name today. He’s celebrating with a special concert in London, and a thank you message to fans: “I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.”

Capcom has launched a free “Leon Must Die Forever” minigame for Resident Evil Requiem that you can play once the main campaign is completed.

There’s a lot of sci-fi streaming this summer, but if you’re looking for something a little more intense, there’s always the latest iteration of Cape Fear.

That’s what one actor said after a micro drama she starred in was promoted using AI clips of her in underwear.

The upcoming crime drama from Yakuza developer RGG Studio spans five decades and five different cities, and this new deep dive gives a good sense of what to expect — including a slick smuggler played by Snoop Dogg.

The $2.8 billion breakup fee paid to Netflix makes up most of this loss, but it also includes $1.3 billion in other expenses related to its merger with Paramount. As noted by CNBC, Paramount agreed to cover the hefty termination fee, “but the cost lives on WBD’s books until the close of the deal.”

The studio claims that Mina the Hollower will be “one of the greatest top-down adventures ever to be delivered directly to your soul for less than 20 bucks” — and while I can’t tell you if it meets that lofty promise just yet, I did really like a demo I played in March at GDC.

In a nice surprise, Halo Infinite — which supposedly got its latest major update last year — just got a new PvE mode called Firefight: Gauntlet. It’s described as “deviously difficult” as you take on waves of enemies with up to four players. It’s also available now.

Fubo TV’s earnings seem to show the impact of the NFL, as the Q2 subscriber count dropped from 6.2 million at the end of 2025 to 5.7 million three months later, which is fewer than the 5.9 million subscribers it had at the same time last year. Still, revenue was up one percent.

Josh D’Amaro, Disney’s new CEO, says in the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report that he expects the “shift from linear toward streaming to continue.” Operating income from Disney’s streaming business, which includes Disney Plus and Hulu, jumped to $582 million over the past few months, marking an 88 percent increase year over year.

The latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey shows the sheer scope of the film, from large-scale battles to gigantic mythological beasts.

Bloomberg recently reported that 39 percent of podcasts over a nine-day period were likely AI-generated, according to data from Podcast Index.

Chances are, at some point, you’ve had Kristen DiMercurio or Tawny Platis in your ears saying phrases like “battery low” and “Bluetooth paired.” The two voice actors sat down on Tawny’s show, String and Tell, to talk about voice matching, interactive voice responses, and, of course, Bluetooth.

Tim Heidecker made his Infowars debut with an uncanny and painful-sounding Alex Jones impression. While he acknowledged that there were still some legal hurdles to overcome, Heidecker, the site’s new creative director, was adamant that the Onion’s takeover would be finalized soon, and this was all just a distraction.
