For a brief time recently, EA put advertisements into UFC 4 but they have since been removed following outcry from the playerbase.

One of the ads was for Amazon’s show, The Boys, which recently returned for a second season. The ads played during replays and as part of an overlay, but they are now gone. You can see one of the ads in the video below. As you can see, the logo for The Boys was also displayed on the center of the Octagon.

In a statement sent to Eurogamer, EA said the feedback was loud and clear.

Getting started in game development can be difficult, especially if you don’t have any mentors or resources to learn the basics. Microsoft is looking to help kick off aspiring developers’ careers with free Xbox Academy virtual sessions, and you can register to attend one now.

Running on September 12 and 13 in two different timeslots each day, the Xbox Academy Game Development Workshop will introduce attendees to the basics of game design, as well as how to use the immensely popular game engine Unity. The 90-minute sessions will task you with creating a small playable game using Unity and a 3D resource file. You must be at least 16 years old to register.

Playground Games’ senior producer Maria Lee and senior game designer Ryan Green will be leading the course along with East London Arts and Music’s director of games Curtis Le Blance. Playground is best known for its Forza Horizon series, and as confirmed in July, it’s also working on a new Fable game for Xbox Series X and PC.

A now taken-down page on Nintendo’s website may have revealed that Nintendo’s plans for Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary were delayed by nearly 5 months.

This now-removed page, discovered by those like @Wario64 on Twitter, was for the Super Mario Maker 2 “35th Anniversary Auto-Mario” Ninji Speedrun that was announced alongside Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and much more during last week’s Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct.

However, this page stated that the special event was set to take place from April 14-21, almost 5 months before any of these celebrations in honor of Super Mario Bros.’ 35th anniversary were revealed.

We may never know if all of what was announced in the most recent direct would have been shown that early, or if this was the beginning of the celebration that would continue on throughout the year.

Rumors of these plans and what is now known as Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, started making their rounds in late March 2020, shortly before this event would have taken place.

Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nintendo and many other developers around the world had to change many of their plans for this year, but it does make one wonder what else Nintendo could have had planned this year if these celebrations took place even before what would have been E3 2020.

Alongside the previously mentioned games, Nintendo is also planning on celebrating Super Mario Bros.’ 35th anniversary with Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 35, and so much more.

The way the dreaded Night King was dispatched in Game of Thrones’ final season didn’t just come as a surprise to fans, but to star Kit Harington as well. According to co-star Maisie Williams, whose beloved character Arya Stark wound up being the hero who vanquished the evil ice lord, Harington spent seasons thinking the Night King’s fate belonged to Jon Snow.

Talking to THR, Williams said “[Harington] expected it to go that way, too, and he even said ‘It was going to go that way. Someone told me in season three that I was going to kill The Night King.’

“And then he read the script, and it was Arya the whole time,” Williams laughed. “Yeah, I think it would’ve been too obvious. I’m glad that it was Arya, honestly. I think I had the best storyline of the final season.”

Williams currently stars in Disney’s The Mutants, which finally found theatrical release after years of delay and then postponement due to COVID. Our review of The New Mutants said it’s an “entertaining, if at times formulaic small-scale genre movie” that didn’t deserved to be shelved for so long.

Meanwhile, Game of Thrones executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff settled on their next project, teaming with Rian Johnson for a Netflix series inspired by Liu Cixin’s award-winning book trilogy The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth’s Past).

One of the most iconic challenges in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is S-K-A-T-E, which has you collecting letters scattered across each course as you do your best tricks. Until now, it has been limited to the virtual world, but Tony Hawk got to experience it for real.

Hawk was surprised to find that his halfpipe had been turned into a real S-K-A-T-E challenge when he arrived there on Friday, with balloons floating along the rails above the ramp. He quickly collected all the letters.

He didn’t, however, see the secret tape located in the “hidden room” of his facility. In the games, these are generally only accessible by performing some seriously impressive jumps and grinds. In the iconic Warehouse level from the first game, for instance, it’s in a small booth located above the halfpipe.
