Ron Burgundy Is Getting a Podcast
Anchorman's Ron Burgundy has netted himself two 12-episode seasons of a new show, The Ron Burgundy Podcast. Don't act like you're not impressed.
Launching in early 2019, the podcast will be co-produced by Funny Or Die and iHeartRadio. It's unclear what the podcast will be about, other than Ron Burgundy himself. Ron Burgundy doesn't seem to know either:
"Listen, I don't know what a podcast is, but I currently have a lot of time on my hands and a lot to talk about,” said Burgundy. “I am also broke. Therefore, I am very excited to do this podcast. It is literally saving my life."
People Have Worked Out How to Unlock PS Classic’s Emulator Settings
PlayStation Classic owners can easily tweak the settings of their console if they have the right keyboard.
The PlayStation Classic launched yesterday, and as expected, people are poking around the hardware looking for ways to hack the console. It turns out it's as easy as plugging in a keyboard and hitting the Escape key while inside a game.
Discovered by YouTuber Retro Gaming Arts, and his buddy Matt, the pair initially took the console apart before putting it back together and plugging in a keyboard - in this case a Corsair K75 RGB Mechanical keyboard.
"So basically all I did was I took a USB keyboard and plugged it in, and then I went into one of the games and hit Escape, and then that gave me all of the access to the emulator itself," Matt explains in the video.
Batman: Court of Owls Game Could Be in Development at WB Montreal

It's led some to believe that a Batman game centred around the shadowy group is on the way.

Arrow’s New Archer Has a Fascinating Comic Book Backstory
Warning: this episode contains major spoilers for Arrow: "Unmasked."
Oliver Queen may be out of prison, but his troubles have only just begun in Arrow's seventh season. "Unmasked" finally revealed the identity of the new Green Arrow, and it's someone with a direct family tie to Ollie - his half-sister Emiko Queen (played by Sea Shimooka).
Who is Emiko, and why does Ollie have another sister he doesn't know about? Here's everything you need to know about her comic book history and how she may play into the ongoing direction of the series in 2019.
Emiko's Family Heritage
In the DC Comics universe, Emiko Queen was first introduced in 2013's Green Arrow #18. She was revealed to be the daughter of Robert Queen and Shado, born on Starfish Island (the name used for Lian Yu in the comics) but stolen shortly after her birth by Robert's vengeful business partner, Simon Lacroix. Lacroix raised her to believe she was his daughter, training her to become a skilled warrior and archer. However, after discovering the truth about her heritage, Emiko killed Lacroix and joined forces with her brother instead.

Showtime’s Halo Adaptation Loses Director
The Halo television series coming to Showtime in 2019 has lost its director, Rupert Wyatt.
Wyatt, who was also serving as executive producer for the series, indicates that the split is amicable, and due to an extension of the show’s production schedule. It’s unclear at this time who will be replacing Wyatt as director. Wyatt is best known for his work on 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
"It's with great disappointment that changes to the production schedule of Halo prevent me from continuing in my role as a director on the series,” said Wyatt. "My time on Halo has been a creatively rich and rewarding experience with a phenomenal team of people. I now join the legion of fans out there, excited to see the finished series and wishing everyone involved the very best."
