While the movie High Fidelity may have become a cult classic, the TV show of the same name sadly got the ax this week. Deadline is reporting that Hulu has chosen not to renew its High Fidelity original series for a second season.

The Hulu series was based on a novel by British author Nick Hornsby (who also gave us About A Boy) and later adapted for American audiences with the 2000 film starring John Cusack and, coincidentally, Lisa Bonet. Zoë Kravitz starred as Rob, the record store owner who has struggled a lifetime of failed relationships and trysts and reminiscences on what went wrong with each one. If you’ve seen the movie, the first season follows that overarching plot very closely, but still had very much a life of its own.

The report also stated that the final decision was not easy and came after “lengthy deliberations.” The show, which has been well received by critics and currently has an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The first trailer for Netflix‘s upcoming surreal in a good way but still very much foaming-at-the-mouth weird while also funny horror-drama I’m Thinking of Ending Things has arrived.

Adapted from the 2016 debut novel from Canadian writer Iain Reid with the same name, the film version has been written and directed by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). This is Kaufman’s third time in the director’s chair for a movie he’s also written. It’s also the first time he’s adapted another writer’s material since 2002’s Adaptation, starring Nicolas Cage in multiple roles.

The official synopsis for I’m Thinking of Ending Things reads, “Despite second thoughts about their relationship, a young woman (Jessie Buckley) takes a road trip with her new boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to his family farm. Trapped at the farm during a snowstorm with Jake’s mother (Toni Collette) and father (David Thewlis), the young woman begins to question the nature of everything she knew or understood about her boyfriend, herself, and the world.” (edited) But as the trailer suggests, the movie seems to be much more about the tone and world than the plot itself, per se.

2K’s new golf game introduces a series of improvements to help new players enjoy golf, and we made the most of them to go low at this real-world golf course.

2K Sports was able to get the rights to feature the likenesses of 12 PGA Tour players for the soon-to-release PGA Tour 2K21, but one of the players–Bryson DeChambeau–doesn’t look right in the game. His player model is simply too small and does not match his current physical look.

As has been widely reported and documented, DeChambeau transformed his body during the PGA Tour’s offseason, and he put on a further 20 pounds during quarantine before golf started back up again in June. He now weighs around 240 pounds and has more muscle than ever before. Only you wouldn’t know this if you play PGA Tour 2K21. His player model, which you can see below, shows him as just a regular-looking guy.

The PGA Tour 2K21 developers captured Bryson’s physical data about a year ago, before his radical transformation, and that’s why his in-game player model looks off.

Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass has locked in a release date–September 24. That’s a little later than expected, but players ready to return to Sam’s world won’t need to wait for long now.

The announcement comes alongside an explosive new trailer, which you can watch below. It doesn’t contain any gameplay footage, but if you want to see how Serious Sam 4 looks in action, we’ve got you covered.

“Croteam and Devolver Digital recently announced that the high-powered prequel Serious Sam 4 will unleash both barrels of chaos on Steam and Google Stadia in August 2020, but we meant to say September 24,” the press release states.

No console versions of the shooter have been announced as of yet.

Serious Sam 3 launched in 2011, so it’s been a while since we’ve seen a new mainline entry. Developer Croteam’s most recent previous game was The Talos Principle, a puzzle game that offered a significant change-of-pace.

Those much-loved metalheads Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan will be with us a little earlier than expected. The duo return in Bill & Ted Face The Music, and it’s been confirmed that the film will hit digital platforms, as well as some theaters, ahead of schedule on August 28.

The news was announced by actor Alex Winter, who plays Bill in the movies alongside Keanu Reeves as Ted. Bill & Ted Face The Music was set for release September 1, having moved back twice from its release in August because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A new behind-the-scenes featurette has also been released, in which Winter and Reeves talk about returning to their roles after so many years.

The full trailer for the movie was released in July, while the first teaser arrived a month earlier. The cast features a number of actors from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its sequel, Bogus Journey, such as William Sadler as Death, Hal Landon Jr. as Ted’s dad Chief Logan, and Amy Stoch as Ted’s stepmom Missy. It’s directed by Galaxy Quest’s Dean Parisot, and written by franchise creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.

Tetris 99 will launch its 16th Maximus Cup next week, starting from August 14, and players who earn enough points will have a chance of unlocking some previous themes that they might have missed out on. These themes, based on some of the biggest Switch games of the last year, can be earned by scoring just 50 points this time–down from the usual 100.

Round 1 (August 14 to 16) will let you earn the Animal Crossing: New Horizons theme. In Round 2 (August 17-19) the Luigi’s Mansion 3 theme returns, and Ring Fit Adventure is back for Round 3 (August 20-22). These allow you to skin your Tetris experience with new looks based on these games.

If you haven’t played in a while, though, prepare for a challenge–the online community has gotten pretty good at Tetris 99.

The most recent Maximus Cup had a Paper Mario: The Origami King theme for players to unlock. Other games to receive themes previously include Xenoblade Chronicles and Pokemon Sword and Shield.
