Clark Gregg Spills on Directing His Own “Mini-Marvel Movie”
With 2018 marking the 10 year anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's fitting that the new year kicks off with one major Marvel milestone: Clark Gregg's first directorial effort in the MCU will air as this Friday's Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, four movies and five TV seasons after the actor first made his debut as SHIELD agent Phil Coulson in 2008's Iron Man.
It's an opportunity that's a long time coming for the actor, and it's fitting that the on-again, off-again on-screen Director of SHIELD would become a real-life director of SHIELD as well.
"It's a big episode with some big stuff, and they really went with my ideas," Gregg told IGN several days before the debut of his episode, titled "Fun and Games." "Coming from indie film, I've really done something that's at the farthest end of different and still is the same concept. It was like doing a mini-Marvel movie. It's that episode, as people will see, that's a little bit like our version of Downton Abbey-meets-a very bloody, sci-fi version of Gladiator."

World Health Organization Lists Gaming Health Disorders
The World Health Organization will list "Gaming disorder" and "Hazardous gaming" as health disorders in its International Compendium of Diseases.
Part of the WHO's first major update to the Compendium since 1992, gaming disorder is listed as an addictive behaviour alongside gambling, while hazardous gaming is a pattern of gaming behaviour "that appreciably increases the risk of harmful physical or mental health".
The results of both disorders as described have received mass media attention in the past, and this categorisation appears to be an attempt to allow for easier diagnosis and treatment.
