Donald Glover Reveals He Wasn’t Too Busy for Canceled Deadpool Series
Donald Glover has responded to rumors he was too busy to work on the defunct Deadpool TV series.
Glover revealed on Twitter that his supposed busy schedule isn't too blame for the show's demise, which FX also cited "creative differences" as a reason for the project's end.
"For the record: i wasnt too busy to work on deadpool," Glover tweeted, before posting the script pages, which you can read in the gallery below:
Glover, who was set to serve as showrunner and writer on the series along with Stephen Glover (Atlanta), also shared a 15-page script titled "Finale," seemingly implying this would have been the show's final script. The 15 pages are notably filled with references to events that have occurred in recent days, though.
Rainbow Six Siege Update to Fix Aiming on Automatic Weapons
Rainbow Six Siege's weapons will have their recoil patterns corrected in an upcoming update, Ubisoft announced today.
Bullets fired from many weapons, especially fully automatic weapons, currently "diverge from where the reticle is pointing," a blog post explains. With the new recoil system, which will initially roll out on the next Siege test server session, Ubisoft is targeting "a clean, tight shooting system that does not cheat players out of a great show of skill, or on the contrary, register a headshot when the player is aiming at the torso."
As-is, bullets don't always land at the tip of your gun's reticle. Sometimes they land below or beside it. Under the new recoil system, bullets will always land exactly at the tip of your reticle. So the kick of each gun won't change, but bullet trajectory is getting tightened up. You can find more details here.
