The Simpsons Producer's Illuminating Comment About Marge's Death Is A Real Double-Edged Sword For The Iconic Sitcom

One of the Executive Producers onThe Simpsonsshared his views on the show’s lack of canon, which is a great strength (and unique creative challenge) of the show.The Simpsonshas been on the air for nearly forty years, with the animated nature of the series allowing it to evolve in ways no other show really can.

These Two Characters From Baldur’s Gate 3’s House Of Hope Deserved A Much Longer Story

One of my favorite aspects ofBaldur’s Gate 3is how three-dimensional and compelling the characters are. The companions are written beautifully, and they truly feel like realistic people. Many non-recruitable characters are also fantastic, and it’s no surprise that NPCs like Rolan and Barcus are so beloved. However, there are lots of characters that evidently didn’t get as much attention. It would be ridiculous to suggest that every single NPC in a sea of hundreds should be completely fleshed out, butthere are two characters from the House of Hope quest that I’ve become gradually more frustrated with every time I see them....

That’s why Toby Roberts, a Maker in Residence at Raspberry Pi, crafted a massive version of the tiny microcomputer. While this 6x scale model of the Raspberry Pi 4B isn’t “functional,” it’s a very accurate representation of the real thing. The color of the “board” is perfect, and it’s covered in all the appropriate lettering and logos....

The small, four-way symmetric base is fondly remembered because of its propensity to spur close-quarter, high action matches. The teleporters throughout the map amplify this, as players warp in and out of combat in the blink of an eye....

It won’t be long before the world at large is introduced toClayface, Batman’s most malleable and horrifying foe.Having aClayfacemovieas the third entry in the DCU is an odd move, but it’s an intriguing one, especially with horror master Mike Flanagan attached as the writer for the big-screen debut of Clayface. Fans unfamiliar with Batman lore may find themselves confused and wondering who Clayface is. While the simplest answer isthat Clayface is Basil Karlo, a former actor turned into a shape-shifting monster made of clay, the truth is the DC Universe has seen as many as 10 different Clayfaces, each with their own unique origin and motivation....
