The Simpsons Season 30 Premiere: “Bart’s Not Dead” Review

Warning: Full spoilers for The Simpsons Season 30 premiere below.

September 30 seems like an appropriate day for The Simpsons to kick off its 30th season. That’s another huge milestone for the series in 2018, after it already broke Gunsmoke’s record as the longest-running primetime scripted series in history.

Fortnite Funko Pops Show All Your Favorite Skins

The first announcement of Fortnite Funko Pops came with the barest glimpse of one of the collectible figurines, the Rex skin. Now Funko has released a slew of other images showing off more than a dozen character skins getting the Funko treatment.

The Pops cover some of the most popular characters, like Brite Bomber, Black Knight, and Cuddle Team Leader, along with some holiday-themed ones like Red-Nosed Raider, Crackshot, and Merry Marauder. The full-size Pop figurines are joined by a pair of keychains, featuring Love Ranger and Cuddle Team Leader. All of the Funko collectibles are set to drop in November.

The announcement came right alongside the ringing in of Season 6, with new changes to the map, a whole new set of rewards to collect with your Battle Pass, and the addition of Shadow Stones and Pets. Check out our challenge map locations if you need some help scoring all that sweet loot.

Arguably one of the biggest changes to Fortnite this season came from outside the game itself. After months of criticism, Sony finally relaxed its policy on cross-play and allowed Fortnite to play nice with other consoles. Epic rolled out a new feature to ease the transition, by letting you link Fortnite console accounts. A separate account merging feature is coming this November.
