Battlefield REDSEC Official Gameplay Trailer
YouTube video by Battlefield

Many hair follicles were lost these last four years helping bring this thing to life. I hope you give #Battlefield6, and our new free-to-play BF experience, #RedSec a shot! Crafting the largest map in franchise history was no small feat! youtu.be/rn8k1g3vMDU?...

Tonight Jane Fonda and the Committee for the First Amendment issued this statement asking: "Is Paramount, once again, kowtowing to appease the president, as its owner seeks administration approval to further expand his media empire with a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery?"

Vince was the truth. He was way chiller than you’d expect for someone so accomplished. He would talk cars, games (or shit!) with anyone. I loved his studio visits and will miss his presence at Ripple. Battlefield 6 would not be what it is without his guidance and protection.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Please do not purchase Luck be a Landlord on Xbox. I will be making a $10,000 donation to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund to (hopefully) help offset the revenue the game has generated for Microsoft.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Quentin Tarantino Blasts Paul Dano As The “Giant Flaw & Weak Sauce” Of ‘There Will Be Blood’
Quentin Tarantino Blasts Paul Dano As The “Giant Flaw & Weak Sauce” Of ‘There Will Be Blood’
Most filmmakers know better than to publicly torch another director’s film or an actor’s performance, but Quentin Tarantino has never really played by those rules. On a new episode of Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast, where the pair ran through their top 20 films of the century, Tarantino used his praise of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” as a springboard to lay into one of its key performers: Paul Dano.

When we talk about video game stories I think there is too much emphasis on plot points and not enough on the execution (writing, lighting/music, how mechanics support and enhance the story etc).

Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
