Leonard, who was streaming Warzone with at least one other person, was complaining about a player trying to snipe him. After a brief moment of accosting that playing for trying to snipe him, Leonard called them a “k*** b****.” The person Leonard is playing with just laughed nervously after he said it.

Netflix’s Russian Doll Season 2 Casts Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy

Season 2 of Russian Doll is finally starting to take shape, with The Hollywood Reporter indicating that Canadian actor Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) is joining the cast in an undisclosed role and capacity. The Netflix series, heavily inspired by the classic Bill Murray film Groundhog Day, was picked up for a second season back in 2019–but the COVID-19 pandemic had pumped the brakes on production rolling forward as expected. Production is expected to resume again, finally, at some point in March.

It’s still pretty much a mystery what Season 2 of Russian Doll will encompass or who the main characters will be. It’s no spoiler to reveal that Season 1 focused on Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black) as Nadia Vulvokov, a software engineer who is stuck reliving her 36th birthday, which is also the day she seems to die no matter what choices she makes.

The season finale wrapped things up satisfactorily enough to function as a series finale, or could even plausibly have teed Russian Doll up to be an anthology series focusing on different characters stuck in similar dilemmas–but until this announcement all that is literally known so far is that a second season was coming, and now, that Murphy is involved.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Is Still Releasing In March

Despite a lack of recent updates on the game, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will still release sometime in March. Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM announced The Final Cut back at The Game Awards 2020 last December, a “director’s cut”-style version of the game that would extend and expand the acclaimed RPG. It’ll also add full voice acting. Though Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was said to release for PS4, PS5, Stadia, and PC in March 2021, some fans have grown concerned that the game might not meet the deadline.

However, according to a recent Discord communication by a member of the game’s development team, The Final Cut is releasing in March “for sure.” ZA/UM’s head of publishing Mikk Metsniit said that the team’s radio silence is due to the coordination required to make sure that the game launches correctly on all four platforms. Metsniit’s public statement came in part due to a “lot of speculation [being] thrown about.”

Disco Elysium is a highly literary take on the CRPG genre inspired by genre classics like Planescape: Torment as well as other works, like Émile Zola’s seminal novel Germinal. As part of the original announcement, ZA/UM said Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will come to Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch later this summer. The Final Cut will be a free upgrade to existing owners of the original Disco Elysium. This will be the first time that the game will be available on consoles. Disco Elysium is one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the late 2010’s, and GameSpot previously named it one of the 10 best games of 2019.

Disney CEO Comments On Gina Carano’s Firing From The Mandalorian

In February, Gina Carano was fired from her role as Cara Dune on the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian. In a recent statement, Disney CEO Bob Chapek reiterated that she was not fired for her politics.

The Disney boss explained in a statement (via Variety) that it had nothing to do with politics and that “values that are universal.” He said that Disney wants to make content that is “reflective of the rich diversity of the world that we live in.”

Disney cut ties with the actor after a series of controversial social media posts comparing the persecution of Jewish people by Nazis to hating someone for their political views. This wasn’t the first time Carano found herself in trouble for her social media posts. She’s mocked mask wearing during the current COVID pandemic, promoted misinformation about voter fraud, and expressed transphobic views. Carno had been warned by Disney for previous posts. Carano has moved on to produce a movie with Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro.

Valheim Moder Boss Fight Guide – How To Defeat The Frost Dragon Solo

The fourth boss you’ll take on in Valheim is Moder, the frost dragon queen of the Mountain biome. Moder is a huge enemy that fights on the ground and can take to the skies, but the terrain on which you face the boss can give you an advantage. It’s possible to defeat Moder all by yourself if you bring the right gear and carefully manage the fight. Here’s everything you need to know to beat Moder.

To take on Moder, you’ll first need to clear the way to the Mountain biome by taking down Eikthyr in the Meadow, The Elder in the Black Forest, and Bonemass in the Swamp. You’ll also need the ability to withstand the cold, so it’s highly recommended that you mine and craft some Wolf armor ahead of this battle–at least the Wolf Cuirass or the Wolf Cape, which will give you automatic Frost resistance. We’ve outlined exactly what gear you should have below, which will give you the best chance of defeating Moder even if you can’t bring a squad of other Vikings to help you.

We’ve got lots more Valheim coverage, check out our complete Valheim armor guide, as well as our guide for finding Iron and crafting Iron gear and for finding Silver and crafting Wolf armor, for venturing through the Swamp biome, and for taking down the Elder boss.
