Everything Hollywood Writers Got In Their New Contract
Writers in the WGA union have ended their strike against Hollywood studios and are now returning to work following a “tentative” agreement to terms. The WGA has now shared the terms of the deal, which the union previous said was “exceptional.”
While writers can now go back to work, the deal isn’t finalized yet and is still being ratified. With that caveat out of the way, the WGA published its memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the deal, which gets into what, exactly, the guild won in the deliberations.
First, the deal covers a relatively short period of time, ending May 1, 2026. The guild got a lot of what it was asking for, including minimum pay increases spread over the next couple of years and increased health and pension contribution rates. Additionally, each writer on a writing team will get pension and health benefits up to a certain cap individually, as opposed to splitting the benefits with the entire team of writers.
Another major part of the deal concerned…

On paper, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth has everything I could possibly ask for in a game from RGG Studio: Kasuga Ichiban from the 2020 RPG Yakuza: Like A Dragon co-leading with series legend Kazuma Kiryu–two characters I love dearly fighting alongside one of the most memorable supporting casts in recent years. It’s the best of both Yakuza worlds coming together for a story about life, legacy, and the daunting realities of the world we live in–but, more than anything, atonement and the various forms it can take. It also comes with greatly improved RPG systems that nail the tactical joy of turn-based combat while upholding Yakuza’s identity in remarkable ways. And in splitting its time in Hawaii with Yokohama, you get two robust and detailed locations to explore new and old ideas through the biggest suite of side activities the series has had thus far.
For all its comedic absurdity and optional diversions, Infinite Wealth brings its heavier themes into fo…
Read moreLife Is Strange- True Colors Coming September 10, Focuses On The Power Of Emotions
Publisher Square Enix has revealed Life Is Strange: True Colors, the next game in its supernatural-focused, choice-driven series, will launch on September 10 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC, and Stadia. The game is being developed by Deck Nine.
If patterns are anything to go by, True Colors is likely not a new mainline entry for Life Is Strange. It’s probably more like Before The Storm, also developed by Deck Nine and released in between Dontnod Entertainment’s Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange 2. Game director Zak Garriss said that True Colors began development in 2017, so Deck Nine has been working on it since the release of Before The Storm.

Read moreLive A Live Muramasa Blade – Path Of Shuttered Lanterns Guide
The Twilight of Edo Japan chapter of Live A Live is the most open-ended one of the bunch. While some of them push you along in a fairly linear fashion, Twilight of Edo Japan drops you off at the front door of Ode Castle and leaves it to you to find your way and accomplish your objectives. It’s no surprise that there are a few secrets in this chapter, but one of the most obtuse tricks leads to the most prized piece of equipment… and the most vicious boss. Here’s a guide to help you through the Twilight of Edo Japan chapter, including where to find the Muramasa blade and the Bloodthirsty Samurai.
The Path of Shuttered Lanterns
Depending on which route you take to the castle, you might come across the Path of Shuttered Lanterns on your own. If you climb to the roof of the residential building, you’ll be able to run across the area’s outer fortifications. You’ll eventually come across a tree, which you can climb down. Once back on th…
Read moreMario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Game Of All Time, With One Caveat
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has passed a new milestone, as it is now Nintendo’s best-selling game of all time–if you don’t count one particular bundled game from the Wii era. According to Nintendo’s latest financial report, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 61.97 million units in total as of March 31, 2024. The only other Nintendo game that has done better is Wii Sports at 82.90 million units sold, but considering that the game was bundled in with a Wii console, it is in a different category entirely.
In comparison, the rest of Nintendo’s top-performing games include various titles across multiple platforms. Five Switch games are on the list, the Wii is in second place with four games, and the DS is in third place with a single entry, according to Nintendo:
The 10 best-selling Nintendo games as of March 31, 2024
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — 61.97 million
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons — 45.36 million
- Mario Kart Wii — 37.38 million
