Inside Every Xbox One X Is a Master Chief Riding a Scorpion
The most powerful home console of all time hides a tiny, adorable secret inside.
On the circuit board of the Xbox One X is a tiny Master Chief perched on the back of a scorpion, a nod to both Xbox history and the Project Scorpio code name.
The art was first noticed by Spanish YouTube channel Unocero in a video breaking down the console. It's stamped right there, but it's not particularly big. Just cute.

Ubisoft Buying Back Its Own Stock to Prevent Vivendi Takeover
Ubisoft has announced a buy-back program in order to prevent French media conglomerate Vivendi from taking over the company.
The games company has granted a mandate which will allow it to buy back a total number of 4 million shares until December 29 2017. Once the shares have been repurchased they will be canceled by Ubisoft, which means they will have no value and cannot be reissued into the market.
Ubisoft heads Michel and Yves Guillemot have been fighting a potential takeover from Vivdendi for over a year after a hostile takeover bid was backed by Gameloft.

Death Wish: Bruce Willis Remake Release Pushed to 2018
MGM has delayed the release date for the upcoming Death Wish remake starring Bruce Willis.
Deadline reports the film, from director Eli Roth, will no longer be released on November 22 and is instead now hitting theaters March 2, 2018.
The reason for the delay is because of just how crowded Thanksgiving weekend has become for movie releases. Death Wish would have had to go up against the Pixar film Coco, Aaron Sorkin's crime drama Molly's Game starring Jessica Chastain, and horror film Polaroid.
With its new March 2 release date, Death Wish will open the same weekend as Jennifer Lawrence's espionage thriller Red Sparrow, action/drama film Alpha, and the comedy Game Night.
