The Peripheral

Amazon have released a teaser for The Peripheral, a new series from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.

Somewhat like Westworld, it all appears quite mundane at the beginning and on the surface, but gets seriously funky and then some.

Very helpfully explaining the show's premise, mechanics, rules and so forth.

A Scooby Don't

The Callisto Protocol game director Glen Schofield isn't the only developer forced to backpedal this week in response to being behind the times.

Thunderous Love

This morning while breakfasting we watched newly released on Disney+ Thor: Love and Thunder. It is much better than both its trailers and reviews suggest.

Alfred Again

It's probably not a coincidence that on the same day we get a Gotham Knights trailer telling us to think of Alfred as part of the Batman family, we get the season 3 trailer for Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler.

We don't think game and series are part of the same DC universe, but that doesn't mean Warner Bros. can't hope for a bit of cross-promotion.

Action roleplaying game Gotham Knigths have released a video about the Batman family.

There's really not a lot to it or any new reveals but those following the title may want to take a look.

The Cruncho Protocol

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier took aim at studio director Glen Schofield for a tweet in which he talked about 12-15 hour work days and that being a labour of love.

Crunch time in game development is a hot button. Glen swiftly apologised.
