HBO Max has ordered a series based on an original concept by J.J. Abrams, with Jennifer Yale (Legion, Dexter) attached as showrunner. The title is a play on words, with the plot following a college student taking part as a subject in a clinical trial.

“This series follows a desperate college student who signs up for a clinical trial that begins a wild, harrowing, mind and reality-bending adventure,” the official synopsis reads. The show is set to be produced by J.J. Abrams’ company Bad Robot in association with Warner Bros. TV, with Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson and Rachel Rusch Rich attached as executive producer and co-executive producer respectively.

“It’s been incredible fun weaving this rather insane yarn with Jenn, and I am grateful to her and everyone at HBO Max for the opportunity to bring this story to life,” Abrams said about the project.

There’s a new Mortal Kombat movie on the horizon for the first time in almost 25 years, and fans are anxious to see how it’ll turn out. While the original 1995 movie got mixed reactions from critics, it was a blockbuster hit that fans loved, so we’ve compared some of its iconic characters, moments, and special moves with the upcoming film.

The footage is taken from the first trailer for the new Mortal Kombat, which was officially released a little earlier than planned due to a version of the trailer being leaked. Some of the scenes mirror moments from the 1995 film surprisingly closely–though the new film is set to include much more blood and gore thanks to its R-rating.

The video compares how both movies have interpreted some of the franchise’s most iconic characters including Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. Antagonist Shang Tsung is shown to be a little more subdued in the new version, while four-armed Goro has benefited a lot from 25 years of improvements in CGI.

Following a failed attempt in 2018, rapper Soulja Boy, perhaps best known for his song Crank That (Soulja Boy), is apparently gearing up to release another new game console.

On February 20, Soulja Boy tweeted “coming soon @SouljaGame.” When you go to @SouljaGame, the newest Tweet reads that they are “building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history.”

There is also an Instagram account that has three images of this upcoming console, and not only does it look similar to an Xbox One S or Xbox Series S, the photos are also accompanied by a controller that looks very much like PS2’s DualShock 2.

As previously mentioned, Soulja Boy began selling SouljaGame branded consoles and handhelds in 2018, but they were quickly discovered to just be off-brand emulators that could be found elsewhere.

SouljaBoy stopped selling these systems less than a month after he began, admitting that he “had to boss up, I didn’t have a choice.”

The day before he stopped selling them, he wrote, in a now-deleted Tweet, “for anyone that thinks Nintendo is going to sue me… Nothings going to happen everything is legit. My console isn’t going anywhere trust me.”

While this new SouljaGame may have to go against the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, it also will have tough competition from the 4K, 240FPS KFConsole that comes packaged with a Chicken Chamber that will keep your chicken warm as you game.

The Miz is the new WWE Champion after successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Drew McIntyre at WWE Elimination Chamber 2021.

In the pay-per-view main event, McIntyre defeated AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, and Kofi Kingston to retain the WWE Championship. It was during the post-match, in-ring celebration that Bobby Lashley attacked McIntyre from behind, slammed his head into the announcer’s table, and cinched in the Hurt Lock.

The Miz immediately cashed in and executed a snap DDT, which McIntyre kicked out of it. Miz then executed his finisher, the Skull Crushing Finale, to score the pinfall and win the title.

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Project Red is issuing DMCA takedowns to Twitter users who are sharing stolen code.

As reported by Vice, CDPR notified at least two Twitter users of the takedowns after they shared illegally obtained source code of Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. This game code was part of the big cyberattack that CDPR suffered earlier this month that also saw the source code of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 stolen.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/09/cyberpunk-2077-and-witcher-3-source-code-stolen-ign-now”]

“Description of infringement: Illegally obtained source code of Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. Posted without authorisation, not intended to be released to the public,” the DMCA takedown notice read.

One of the users who received the above notice mentioned that their Tweet got taken down as it contained a torrent to download the source code for Gwent. The user also stated that, “Let’s just say it wasn’t anything I didn’t expect.”

Tweets by three other users were also issued DMCA takedowns, and those Tweets have been replaced with a message saying that they have “been withheld in response to a report from the copyright holder.”

This source code could have been part of the the files that were reportedly sold in a dark web auction for a sale price that may have reached upwards of $7 million.

DMCA takedowns have been a huge problem for Twitch streamers, and it even caused a hilarious moment when Metallica’s BlizzCon concert was replaced with the most non-heavy metal music possible to avoid any copyright issues.
