Can't complain about free!

I love an everything seasoning video game. You know, the kind of game where it's five different genres at once, somehow, all of which builds into one cohesive vision? It's not an easy thing to pull off, but Daniel Mullins seems to be quite good at it, as evidenced by Inscryption, and as suggested by the upcoming Pony Island 2: Panda Circus. Which, by the way, now has a playtest you can sign up for.

The “Crazy Rich Asians” TV series is moving forward at HBO, with four of the film’s stars returning.

Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Ronny Chieng have all signed on as series regulars in the one-hour original drama series, with Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh recurring. All four will reprise their respective roles from the hit 2018 film.

• The United States is back on the World Rally Championship (WRC) calendar for the first time since 1988.
• The U.S. is the 11th stop in the WRC’s massive 15-round calendar, which is its largest since 2008.
• Rally US is scheduled for August 26-29 and will reportedly take place in Tennessee and Kentucky.
  

Rally racing has always been in a league of its own. It’s kind of like Formula 1’s estranged sibling. Where F1 boasts smooth tracks and luxury partnerships, the World Rally Championship (WRC) prefers the beaten path. They’re both governed by the FIA, but their racing styles couldn’t be more different.

“X-Men ’97” is coming back. The animated Marvel series has been renewed for Season 3 on Disney+ and a first look at the new episodes has been revealed.

While at New York Comic Con, head of Marvel television, animation, comics and franchise Brad Winderbaum revealed a clip from Season 3, which opened with someone writing “Where are the X-Men?” in graffiti. We learn that the city has reached chaos as police have blocked off the city and closed the border, meaning the mutants can’t get across to Professor X’s school and have no place to stay unless they have letters of transit.

Several cars torched and foreign-run businesses forced to shut in Johannesburg’s Soweto and coastal city of Durban.

Anti-migrant protests in two cities in South Africa have turned ⁠violent, with the government blaming disinformation about a court ruling on asylum seekers.

Kate Siegel knows how to speak Stephen King. She was reading his work long before she probably should have, and has often retreated to it in times of need.

We're probably more inclined to condone having "fun" in cars than the average website, but street takeovers (sometimes also called "sideshows") are a reckless and dangerous aspect of modern car culture that arguably gives anyone with even a passing interest in fast automobiles a bad name. You've probably already seen the social media videos, but in case you're unaware, street takeovers are when a bunch of people (usually young and probably a little dumb) gather by the dozens at intersections with cars and do donuts, burnouts, and generally cause a huge ruckus. The city of Compton, California, is now combating the phenomenon by putting rubber medians in the intersections to make them less appealing as vehicular playgrounds.
