Chris Hardwick ‘Appreciative’ to Be Back on Talking Dead in Emotional Return
Chris Hardwick made an emotional return to Talking Dead on Sunday night, days after several staffers reportedly quit the series following the host's reinstatement.
Hardwick didn't directly address the allegations that led to his suspension during Talking Dead, after his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra published a Medium post on June 14 alleging sexual and emotional abuse during their relationship without mentioning Hardwick by name. Hardwick denied the allegations in a statement the following day. Hardwick was reinstated by AMC in July following a network investigation, which Dykstra Tweeted that she "chose not to participate in ... I do not believe in an eye for an eye, and therefore I have only shared my evidence with those who I felt should see it."

Why Quake Champions Didn’t Leave Early Access When It Went Free-to-Play
Quake Champions became fully free-to-play this weekend, but that doesn’t mean it’s done yet. The arena FPS is still in Steam Early Access, and developer id Software tells IGN that they aren’t quite ready to take that label off.
“I’d say we were at a crawl
and we’re at a walk now,” community developer Joshua Boyle told me at QuakeCon 2018. While tons of performance improvements and new content has been added, Boyle said they didn’t want to leave Early Access “until we get to the point where we’re at a sprint.”
Could Quake Champions Become Bethesda’s Version of Smash Bros?
Quake Champions already has Doom’s Doom Slayer and Wolfenstein’s B.J. Blazkowicz as playable characters, but IGN asked developer id Software whether or not it could slowly become the Bethesda equivalent of Super Smash Bros, which they said was “in high consideration.”
“As soon as I got hired on, I was like ‘we’re doing that, right?’” community developer Joshua Boyle told me with a laugh at QuakeCon 2018. “This is something that somehow hasn’t existed in FPS, and we have such a great space for it.”
Last year, studio director Tim Willits notoriously said he’d enjoy seeing Skyrim’s Dragonborn added to Quake while speaking with GameReactor at QuakeCon 2017. During that same interview, he also discussed what it would be like to add Corvo or Emily from Dishonored, or the Vault Dweller from Fallout, but so far none of those ideas have shown up in the actual game.
