    YouTube posted a touching tribute to the late Technoblade.

    Technoblade, a popular Minecraft YouTuber, died at age 23 in June due to cancer. His channel just turned nine yesterday, and YouTube posted a video to celebrate Technoblade’s impact on the platform.

    The video, appropriately titled “Technoblade never dies” after his famous catchphrase, already has over 4 million views and counting. You might also might notice a neat little Easter Egg if you type “Technoblade” in YouTube’s search bar.

    Avatar 2 is three hours and 10 minutes long.

    That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, and if true, would make the flick even longer than the first Avatar, which has a two-hour and 41-minute runtime. In July, director James Cameron said this about the upcoming film’s length (and I have to say, he has a point):

    I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours... I’ve watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it’s okay to get up and go pee.
