IGN Happy Hour: Overwatch Voice Actors Special
It's a perfect day for some mayhem! And what better way to ensure that than with an in depth chat with Australia's national treasure Junkrat, and internationally renowned DJ Lucio!
IGN AU's Dan Crowd and Cam Shea had voice actors Jonny Cruz (Lucio) and Chris Parson (Junkrat) over for some beers and a rowdy chat about all things Australia, what it's actually like to record all the sounds we take for granted in video games, and the life-changing experience that has been Overwatch.

Hearthstone’s Shaman: Blizzard on the Class with RNG Baked into its Hero Power
I recently published an interview with Team 5's Lead Initial Designer Peter Whalen and Lead Final Designer Dean Ayala, discussing the design process behind Hearthstone's latest set, The Witchwood. As part of that conversation, we also chatted about the state of Shaman and where the team would like to take the class. I cut it from the first piece (for length reasons), but found it pretty interesting, so here it is, published separately. Enjoy!
Wonder Woman 1984 Will Reportedly Get a Surprise Appearance at Comic-Con
Gal Gadot may make an appearance at San Diego Comic Con in the lead up to her new movie Wonder Woman 1984.
Deadline reports it's likely we'll see Gadot in Hall H during Warner Bros. DC presentation to show off a peek at the sequel, however, Deadline also contacted Warner Bros. about this rumour and there was no comment.
Wonder Woman 1984 is set to hit cinemas on November 1, 2019, and has only recently commenced filming, so there may not be much to show at Comic-Con next month.
We already have a first look at some photos from the set including the new Wonder Woman costume and confirmation that Chris Pine will return in his role as Steve Trevor (and we have some theories about how that's possible as well).

MoviePass Responds to AMC’s Movie Ticket Subscription Service
MoviePass has responded to AMC's newly announced movie ticket subscription service, Stubs A-List.
MoviePass issued a response on Twitter, explaining why its service is far superior to AMC's.
AMC has repeatedly disparaged our model as a way to discourage our growth because all along they wanted to launch their own, more expensive plan. We want to make movies more accessible, they want more profit.

Yes, Reggie Knows How Much You Want Mother 3 and Animal Crossing for Switch
After Nintendo made all of its E3 announcements this year, you’re not alone if you were wondering about the fate of your favorite franchise. From Animal Crossing to Mother 3 and even Pikmin, a lot of fans took to Twitter to lament the absence of a few Nintendo series, and it hasn’t escaped Nintendo’s attention.
“When we have something to announce, we will,” Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN at E3.
“Fill in the blank of your favorite franchise. Our mentality will be we'll announce information close to its launch date versus teasing people for years on end.”
Star Trek TV Spin-Offs We’d Love to See
As was reported this week, Star Trek: Discovery co-creator Alex Kurtzman has been tapped by CBS to develop a new batch of Star Trek TV shows and miniseries. Among the possible projects on the docket are a series set at Starfleet Academy, a Wrath of Khan-related miniseries (!), another mystery miniseries, and a second Star Trek animated series (the first since 1973). There’s also talk of a Trek show that Patrick Stewart is involved with and which presumably involves Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Captain Picard. CBS hasn't confirmed any of these yet, but it’s clear there are some big plans in the works.
