Full SPOILERS ahead for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie!

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie skillfully weaves a new narrative set in the immediate aftermath of the series finale, “Felina,” one which plays out over a tense few days with new flashback scenes set during the timeline of the show. (Read our rave of the film here.)

Will Smith Reveals the Massive Camera Ang Lee Uses to Shoot Gemini Man

Will Smith has shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo taken from an action sequence filmed for Gemini Man, revealing the complex equipment used to bring the scene to the big screen.

The actor praised Ang Lee's filmmaking abilities alongside the image that he posted to Instagram, showing him in action. In the shot, Smith is positioned on the ground, pointing his gun straight up into the air, as a massive camera setup captures everything directly from above.

Chorus is Part Musical and Part Adventure Game, with an All Star Cast

“There are many different types of musicals,” David Gaider, Creative Director at the newly formed Summerfall Studios tells me. We’re discussing musicals, or more specifically, Chorus, the first project from the Melbourne-based studio. (You can check out the Fig pitch here.) It’s an adventure game described as one-part narrative-driven journey and one-part interactive musical.

It’s the latter element that immediately grabs my attention, for its sheer potential and, well, the idea of a video game musical being a somewhat difficult concept to grasp. Musicals come in many forms, after all, from Broadway plays to animated films starring blue genies, and across to standalone episodes of popular TV shows.

Google’s Apparent Plan to Tackle Lag on Stadia, Explained

Google’s Stadia game-streaming service is a fascinating leap into the future of gaming. But in a world of varying internet speeds, restrictive data caps, and the worrying loss of “ownership,” it has a few challenges to overcome. Stadia engineers think they can at least conquer the input lag problem with what Google calls “negative latency.”

That may sound like an oxymoron, but (contrary to the memes that have already risen about it) Google isn’t claiming that your on-screen character is going to actually act before you press the button. Instead of your game playing itself like Lineage II: Revolution, Google is just trying to close the gap between your computer and their server.

Blizzard’s Weibo Account Isn’t Helping

Blizzard is under fire for punishing a professional Hearthstone player from Hong Kong over his support for the current Hong Kong protests. While Blizzard’s English-language blog post on the matter took a neutral tone on the decision, but an official Chinese language response to the incident appears much more biased.

Earlier this week Blizzard announced it would take punitive action against Ng Wai “Blitzchung” Chung for speaking in support of the Hong Kong protests during an official Hearthstone livestream. Blizzard explained its decision as a punishment for violating official Blizzard esports rules. But on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, an official Blizzard account run by the company's Chinese publishing partner Netease took a tougher stance.
