Useless Waluigi Garbage You Can Buy to Fill the Waluigi-Shaped Hole in Your Smash Heart

Waluigi is in Smash, as an assist trophy, and everyone is real upset about it. And why shouldn't they be? Waluigi is easily Nintendo's most beloved 8th-tier creepy weirdo character. His internet presence has done nothing but grow, thanks to games like Mario Kart 8 and Mario Tennis Aces. We love Waluigi, even though he is most likely incapable of love and can never reciprocate.
As beautiful as it is to imagine a timeline in which Waluigi is added to the Smash roster, for now it's just not happening and we all need to move along. Or do we? Amazon, the infinite abyss of amazing consumer finds, has all kinds of great stuff to help fill the void Smash has left inside all of us. If Nintendo won't put Waluigi in Smash, we have to do the next best thing: bring Waluigi to ourselves.
Don Cheadle Explains That Time Mark Ruffalo Spoiled Infinity War’s Ending
While on Jimmy Kimmel Live, War Machine actor Don Cheadle opened up about that time Mark Ruffalo totally spoiled Infinity War's ending during an interview.
Spoiler warning: if you still haven't seen Infinity War, and don't want it spoiled by Ruffalo, don't read ahead.
The interview in question was with Good Morning America, prior to Avengers: Infinity War hitting theaters last April. In the interview, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo responded to the interviewer talking about deaths in Marvel movies by saying, "Wait 'till you see this next one: ha-... everybody dies."
Sean Murray on the Present, Past and Future of No Man’s Sky
Sean Murray is excited again. When I meet him, he resembles the developer the Internet got to know, love and, eventually, turn on – fidgety, unintentionally charming, interrupting his own sentences to make new points as they occur to him. But as the conversation goes on, I realise what he’s saying is far from what I remember of the man.
From 2014 to 2016, the Hello Games founder and mouthpiece appeared to be a sort of restless ideas machine, appearing in interviews with the express purpose of pouring out whatever was in his mind, rather than what was safely calcified in code on his computer. It was, by his own admission, a mistake:
“We messed up some of the easy things, in that we talked about the game too early. We were really excited when we talked about the game. We talked about features as they were in development. Press would say to us, ‘It's so nice to get to sit down with a developer and just talk, you know? You guys don't seem scripted.’ And we were like, ‘Yeah, we don't. Why does everyone else do that?’.

IT Chapter 2: James McAvoy Mildly Injured Fighting Pennywise
Actor James McAvoy seems to have sustained a double thigh injury while filming a fight scene against Pennywise the Clown in IT: Chapter 2, though it looks like he'll make a speedy recovery.
McAvoy, who is playing Bill Denbrough in the horror sequel, took to Instagram to humorously display his (slight) injury while under a pair of cold compresses - or compresse froide, as they're sometimes called in Toronto where filming is taking place.
Shortly after posting the image, he updated it with a message reading: "In the wake of underwhelming public concern but a couple of weirdly concerned internet celeb sites I’d like to let you all know that I’m Doing just fine. Slight double thigh strain, caught it early, no worries. Pennywise look out. #pennywiseburgersandfries #40yearoldclownfighter"
Netflix Cancels Joel McHale and Michelle Wolf’s Talk Shows
Netflix has canceled Joel McHale and Michelle Wolf's unscripted talk shows.
Per THR, the two shows reportedly did not garner enough of a viewership to warrant renewals from Netflix. Both series premiered on the streaming service earlier this year.
Season 1 Part 1 of Joel McHale's show made its debut in February. Netflix then ordered additional episodes, which were released as Season 1 Part 2 in mid-July. Meanwhile, The Break With Michelle Wolf premiered in May.
Up and Vanished Season 2: The New True Crime Case That Will Haunt You
True crime podcasts (and their inevitable TV adaptations) seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but there aren't many that actually help solve the crime they're investigating - which is why Tenderfoot TV's Up and Vanished became such a phenomenon when it debuted in 2016.
Season 1 of the podcast has surpassed over 200 million downloads and proved instrumental in helping solve a missing person's cold case that had remained unsolved for 11 years, leading to two arrests in 2017. (We're being purposefully vague so that you can catch up, if you haven't listened yet!) Season 1 is now being adapted into a docuseries for Oxygen network.

New Super Mario Bros. U Is Reportedly Coming to Switch
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze have shown that Nintendo is more than willing to flesh out Switch's library with Wii U ports. And if a new report is to be believed, the next Wii U game to make the jump could be New Super Mario Bros. U.
Comic Book reports multiple sources, who are purportedly "linked with Nintendo," have suggested New Super Mario Bros. U will be updated and re-released for Switch "as early as this year."
