Latest Nintendo Switch Update 10.0.4 Actually Does Something
Nintendo has released a new system update for Switch, bringing the hybrid console to version 10.0.4. Unlike the average update, this one is not focused exclusively on improving system stability–although it doesn’t introduce any new user-facing features, either.
As detailed on Nintendo’s support website, the brief patch notes for Switch’s update 10.0.4 key in on a single issue that you may or may not have experienced. Nintendo says it’s fixed a problem concerning being unable to register credit cards or add funds via credit card on the Eshop in some regions. That will come as good news for those who might have been prevented from buying things on the store, including the just-released Clubhouse Games.
Nothing else is mentioned in the patch notes–shockingly, not even the standard line about stability improvements that are frequently the lone inclusion in new Switch updates. Hopefully your console was already sufficiently stable.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Documentary Shows How It Created New Generation Of Skaters
On September 4, Activision will release the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake, introducing a new generation to one of the most successful game franchises of all time. A documentary, Pretending I’m a Superman, is also on the way, and GameSpot’s sister site CBS News had the chance to talk to the producers about the project and how the series saw such a meteoric rise.
Created by former Neversoft game producer Ralph D’Amato and film director Ludvig Gür, Pretending I’m a Superman is a crowdfunded documentary that Gür began work on when he was only 18, and Tony Hawk himself agreed to participate almost immediately.
The film focuses on the early days of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchises, including how it influenced a generation of players to become a generation of skaters, and it features interviews with skating legends like Hawk himself as well as Rodney Mullen. While Hawk helped to popularize the “vert” style, which makes heavy use of halfpipes for crazy flips, Mullen is responsible for popularizing the “street” style characterized by grinds, ollies, and similar tricks.

The Last of Us HBO Series Finds First Episode Director
This past March, HBO confirmed that it’s teaming up with Naughty Dog to make a Last of Us TV show – which will replace the long-planned film adaptation.
Creator of HBO’s Chernobyl (and writer of the upcoming Borderlands movie, directed by Eli Roth and starring Cate Blanchett), Craig Mazin, is executive producing and writing the series alongside Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann and recently, in an interview with Discussing Film, Johan Renck, who won an Emmy for directing all five episode of Chernobyl, confirmed he is on board to executive produce The Last of Us and direct “at least” the pilot episode.
Renck has also directed episode of Breaking Bad, Vikings, The Walking Dead, and Bates Motel.

Shortly after the series was announced, Mazin gave his word that the character of Ellie would still be gay on the TV series and explained why the story, overall, worked better as an ongoing series than as a movie.
The HBO series isn’t expected to enter production until The Last of Us Part II releases on June 19.
