Deadpool 2 Trailer’s Funniest Character Has a Secret Twitter and It’s Hilarious
Deadpool 2's latest trailer introduces viewers to arguably the funniest character in the film, Peter (Rob Delaney), and it turns out he has a hilarious secret Twitter account.
At the end of the new trailer Peter, who is an average dude with no super powers whatsoever, still decides to respond to the X-Force call to arms. Timed to the trailer's launch, the Deadpool Twitter account started following Peter, making it the second only account it follows after Hello Kitty.
The thing is, Peter has been posting a ton of funny stuff on Twitter since March, and his feed tells us a bit about his character. It seems he's a beekeeper of some sort, is married to a person named Susan, and is also a huge fan of the sitcom Friends and its character Monica (Courteney Cox). He also doesn't mind being Deadpool's sidekick, which might hint at their dynamic in the upcoming film.

5 Obvious Lessons Jurassic World Characters STILL Haven’t Learned
The final trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is here. And the more I watch it, the more I was distracted by one simple fact: these characters are incapable of learning from the past.
They have 25 years of calamity to guide them, and yet, they keep on making the same exact mistakes. If the titular “Fallen Kingdom” is humanity itself, and THESE are our brightest minds, then let that kingdom burn, baby. We had our time. (All snarkiness aside, we are still looking forward to seeing this movie.)
Here are 5 lessons that these dumb-dumbs haven’t learned after 25 years of dino-mayhem.
Microsoft Job Posting Gives First Clue About Future Xbox Tech
The next Xbox console may use GDDR6 or flash storage, if two recent Microsoft job postings give any indication.
A posting made on the Microsoft Career site on April 10 reveals the company is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to help lead development for existing and "leading-edge memory" tech for "currently shipping and future Xbox design projects."
In addition to requiring a "deep understanding of current DDR3 and GDDR5" tech, those solutions include the more powerful GDDR6, as well as "future DRAM technologies."
The company posted another job opening for an Xbox Storage Architect the same day, searching for a team leader to help develop solutions for hard drives, solid state drives, and even flash based tech in future Xbox consoles.
Shenmue I & II Re-Release in the Works Before Shenmue III Announcement
Ever since the reveal of Shenmue III at E3 2015, fans have held high hopes that the first two games in the series, until now consigned to the obsolete Dreamcast and original Xbox, would be remastered for modern consoles. In fact, discussions at Sega were underway even before the Kickstarter campaign for the forthcoming sequel began.
Speaking just hours after the announcement of new console and PC ports of Shenmue I & II, John Clark, Sega Europe’s executive vice president of publishing told IGN that the project has been under discussion internally for several years – but that the announcement of Shemmue III helped Sega Europe to prove there was global demand for the original games.
