Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

I thought for a bit that I had posted most everything announced at The Game Awards over the weekend (decided to do it slow and steady so that I could do so with press releases instead of rushing news out).
Then I find out that no, actually, there's still a bunch of stuff I missed. 🙃

Gave a quick look at my work email. 24 new emails from the show.
That's not too bad.
Though I fully expect another batch will show up over night as EU PR get to work, and more in the morning/early afternoon as NA PR do the same.
Oh, up to 25 emails now as I was typing that.

Sorry but that's not a high note to end on for a "final reveal" trailer.
