    “It’s a different sort of vibe.”

    That’s Zack Snyder in Wired talking about the differences between theatrical and streaming movies — particularly when it comes to grabbing people right away — ahead of the release of Rebel Moon on Netflix.

    On the streamer, though, you have to be careful with the opening of the movies because the barrier for entry is really easy. But also the barrier for leaving is very easy. The balance is a lot more difficult on a streamer than in a theater.

    It’s not the World Cup but,

    it’s still pretty big. EA’s messy split from FIFA means that the word’s biggest soccer tournament won’t be part of EA Sports FC. But next summer the game will at least be getting a free update for Euro 2024, which might be the next best thing.

    Meep meep.

    While Star Wars continues to feature new aliens engineered in a lab for maximum cuteness, Doctor Who is moving in the opposite direction. Just look at this thing. I very much relate to Donna at the end of the clip below. The Meep, as it’s known, will make an appearance in “The Star Beast,” one of a trio of Doctor Who specials coming over the winter.

    *pounds table* Show me the creatures.

    This is the second teaser for Netflix’s Gyeongseong Creature, following a release date announcement at Geeked Week earlier in the month. And while the show looks great, I am just itching to see what these creatures actually look like. I guess we’ll find out pretty soon: part one of the series starts streaming on December 22nd.

    Have a ball (in Fortnite).

    The virtual nostalgia-fest continues as the game jumps back into season X, which, if you’ll recall, was a time of Ballers and a meteor hovering menacingly over the island. If you want to check it out, do it soon: Fortnite OG will end with a bang (and Eminem) on December 2nd.

    Hayao Miyazaki is very convincing

    Longtime Evangelion animator Takeshi Honda had already signed up to work on another film when The Boy and the Heron director came calling. “When Miyazaki says that to you, really there’s no way to say no,” Honda says.

    A Rare gem.

    Next month Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers are getting a nice addition with the classic N64 action game Jet Force Gemini from Rare. It’s a game that hasn’t been re-released much, though it’s available in the excellent Rare Replay collection on Xbox.
