You’ve Never Met a Hitman Quite Like FX’s Mr Inbetween
This September, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we're delving into the Australian criminal underworld with FX's Mr Inbetween, a dark comedy created by writer-star Scott Ryan and directed by Nash Edgerton. Here's how FX describes it: "Juggling a new relationship, parental responsibilities, friendship, and a sick brother while earning a living would be difficult for anyone, but it’s particularly difficult when you’re a hitman. Ray Shoesmith 'takes care of people' — often on a permanent basis. Ray demands respect and does not tolerate anyone who doesn’t live up to his very strong and very clear code of ethics. The few he trusts — daughter Brittany (Chika Yasumura), brother Bruce (Nicholas Cassim), and best friend Gary (Justin Rosniak) — he’ll do anything for, so when Gary is set up by his own brother-in-law, Ray rips the lid off a Pandora's box of inter-gang conflict and personal retributions. As a series of very unfortunate, very bloody, and darkly funny events play out, the bodies pile up, and Ray must avoid being one of them."

Telltale’s Sudden Closure Was Reportedly the Result of a Failed Round of Financing
Following the news last Friday that Telltale Games is shutting down, fans have been wondering how and why this happened so suddenly. According to a report yesterday, the culprit is a failed round of funding that Telltale's board was counting on to keep it above water.
“The company was working diligently to close a round of financing,” Telltale co-founder Dan Connors told Variety. “Unfortunately, when the last potential financial backer abruptly pulled out, we were left in a position where we had no choice but to stop production. Sadly, everyone was so focused on doing what was required to keep the company going that when the last potential partner backed out, there were no other options.”

Total War Rome 2 Is Being Review Bombed on Steam over Imagined Controversy of Female Spawn Rates
Total War: Rome 2 has had a surge of negative reviews on Steam because players are under the impression that female generals are spawning more often.
The claim is that half of the generals are now women. According to PCGamesN, Steam user erick posted a screenshot from a negative review that made the claim that "over 50% of...generals
women."
The criticisms that have ensued revolve around the historical accuracy of the spawn rate of female generals versus the actual number of female leaders historically, although none of the players have posted any evidence of subsequent patches or updates to confirm the likelihood of female generals appearing has increased since their initial introduction six months ago.
Pokemon GO’s Mystery Pokemon Revealed as New Mythical Species
The mysterious Pokemon that has been appearing in Pokemon Go for the past few days has been revealed as a brand new mythical Pokémon named Meltan.
Revealed this morning, Meltan is a Steel-Type Hex Nut Pokémon that weighs 17.6 pounds and is 0'08" tall.
A further description of Meltan was also given on Pokémon Let's Go's official site:
"Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body. Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye. Clearly a curious Pokémon, Meltan is very expressive and shows an interest in all kinds of things."
