Welcome to yet another weekend filled with plenty of games and gaming. I’m sure that you’ve gotten a little bit behind on the biggest news given that quite a bit has been happening today, so let’s get you right back up to speed with all of the latest stories. We heard that Sifu is going to be getting a live action adaptation, HBO released a brand new trailer for the upcoming show based on The Last of Us, and players aren’t happy with the progress made in Overwatch 2 since release. There’s more where this came from, so read on for the rest.
Sifu Is Getting A Live-Action Adaptation By John Wick Writer
The popular game from yesteryear Sifu is going to be getting a live action adaptation, at least according to some credible reports. The script for this upcoming movie will apparently be written by Derek Kolstad of John Wick fame. The film is going to be produced by Dmitri Johnson, Mike Goldberg, Dan Jevons, Timothy Stevenson, and of course Kolstad. The plot will apparently follow the game quite closely, representing a tale of revenge and vigilante justice. The project is currently being described as "John Wick meets M. Night Shyamalan's Old.”
MTG Players Are Spamming Greed On Social Media To Protest The $1k Anniversary Packs
Fans of the incredibly popular Magic: The Gathering franchise have been upset over the release of the 30th Anniversary Edition or more precisely the price tag, a staggering $1,000. The result has been hundreds if not thousands of people spamming the official social media accounts for the game with Greed cards. The company behind MTG, Wizards of the Coast, has not yet made any announcements about the matter, but seems to be weathering the storm rather badly.
"Changed Everything, Improved Nothing", Overwatch 2 Players Reflect On The First Season
Overwatch 2 came out on October 4, 2022 to somewhat mixed reviews, but the overall impression was positive. This particular assessment however doesn’t seem to have stood the test of time as players have been describing the game as having “changed everything, improved nothing.” The user on Reddit known as AgentWowza for example remarked how “balance was horrible. Bugs were horrible. Skins don't matter because they're overpriced." Seems like Season 1 has been a little bit of a bust.

In other words, keep your eyes peeled at the ceremonies because hey, you never know.
