There are still many organization use it and will be in the future. If you are working in other Middleware technologies and assigned a WAS administration role, then it requires a little bit of learning. I’ve covered many WAS related articles, but they are not organized in order....
People started sharing New World‘s initial player count figures earlier this morning when the game officially launched in select regions, and the results were shocking. As of 10 A.M. EST this morning, the game already had nearly 525,000 concurrent players via Steam. While those numbers are always a little tricky to depend on so far as absolute accuracy goes, that ballpark figure alone already suggests that New World is by far one of the most successful new games of the year and one of the most successful we’ve seen on Steam in quite some time....
Suddenly those of us who were ambivalent toward the prospect of more Scorsese allusions in murderous clown makeup sat up and took notice while those eager for more of the same were left befuddled. A musical?! Sure! Why not?! Recall that in the climax of the first Joker, Joaquin Phoenix’s titular character is literally dancing to music, if only in his own head, while winding himself up to shoot Robert De Niro on live television....
This is the second feature from director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan whose debut was the Snow White and the Huntsman follow-up, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, but it is producer David Leitch’s mark you can see most clearly on the project. Kate is in the mold of Leitch’s movies John Wick and Atomic Blonde , even as it’s nowhere near as good as the former and is about on a par with the latter....

Well, no he wasn’t. Not in the way we usually think about it. Ramirez, 53, died in 2013 of natural causes while still awaiting execution. During a Los Angeles crime spree in 1984 and ‘85 that eventually left 13 dead, some clever newspaperman, noting the Satanic and vampiric trappings of some of the murders dubbed Ramirez “The Night Stalker.” The moniker, consciously or not, was lifted from a 1972 made-for TV movie about a suave modern vampire terrorizing a major metropolitan area, and the frumpy, wisecracking reporter who finds himself with the thankless job of tracking him down....

Nicknamed the “Mob’s Accountant,” Meyer Lansky knew his numbers, and Rockaway’s film only suffers when it hedges its bets. It begins with a grand promise to portray Lansky as he would have liked to have been portrayed in history. The recollections and the stories work very well when they stick to the gangster of the title. The low-budget, independent feel brings an immediacy, and more rebel street cred than the risk-taking former crime beat journalist at the center....
Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 12 Finally! Booster Gold is a Legend. Wait…”who’s Booster Gold,” we hear some of you ask? OK, fine… Who is Booster Gold? Only the greatest hero you’ve never heard of. Michael Jon Carter is a time traveler from the 25th Century who, as created in the pages of DC Comics by Dan Jurgens, came back to our era to seek fame and fortune with a (hopefully) lucrative superhero career....
After years and decades of providing endings that were final and conclusive to their stories, and then sheepishly having to claim they simply thought of a fun new idea when the sequel invariably came around, Pixar has broken the cycle with Lightyear. The new Toy Story spinoff which sees Chris Evans vocally step into the spaceman’s boots is, by design, a departure for the house that Buzz and Woody built....
“I should start this off by saying that, for years, I made fun of our Kaila Hale-Stern and her love of Baron Zemo. She loves him so much, and I just didn’t get it. After the most recent episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I will admit that I was wrong. Zemo was broken out of jail by Bucky Barnes when they needed him to figure out what was happening with some super soldiers, and honestly, Zemo rolling out of jail and putting on a nice coat to get on his private plane is weirdly hilarious....
“Ever since Disney bought 20th Century Fox, The Simpsons has been the smiling face of that monopolistic corporate synergy. The long-running series was a key Disney+ offering at launch — despite some questionable cropping — and we’ve already seen at least one member of the Simpsons clan interact with the Star Wars universe. So will the Simpsons make a trip to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next? According to Simpsons co-executive producer Michael Price, it’s very possible....
“A leak from Disney+ itself has now pointed to a release date for the first episode of Marvel Studio‘s She-Hulk. As spotted by What’s on Disney Plus, the streaming service’s official U.K. site posted an announcement earlier over the weekend revealing that the upcoming 10-episode She-Hulk series will arrive on August 17.” Read more at HypeBeast Don’t have time to binge-watch all of Stranger Things before season 4 drops?

“Netflix isn’t really in a position to gloat these days, seeing as how it’s being forced to reckon with the reality of the ‘there must always be growth!’ business model it adopted a long time ago (blame capitalism, not Netflix), but there’s no harm in relishing past glories when times are tough. From that angle, it makes perfect sense for Netflix to be making a comedy series about the final Blockbuster video location, holding its own against the forward march of progress....
“Everyone knows NYC is a hub for TV and movies — just check the subway ads that feature the mayor’s stamp of approval. But far too often, shows that take place in ‘NYC’ are really just… filmed on a sound stage in LA. (Or even Vancouver!) Thus, when films that purport to celebrate the Big Apple actually shoot here, we give credit where it’s due.” Read more at Thrillist. Tom Hiddleston may be best known for his portrayal of Loki in the MCU, but his credentials are so much more than the one role....
“A fairy tale adventure starring a dim-witted bear and his wisecracking avian companion, 1998’s Banjo-Kazooie carved a unique place in gaming history thanks to a treasure trove of memorable characters, vibrant level designs, and ambitious attempts at cross-title connectivity. It was the product of Rare, the superstar video game studio founded by Tim and Chris Stamper in 1985 and based in an 18th-century farmhouse in the Great British countryside.” Read more at Inverse Zendaya had big shoes, well, rabbit feet to fill with voicing Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy, and she was up to the challenge....
“Every so often, a tweet lauding Kirsten Dunst’s illustrious career will go viral, because it’s true: With a resume full of seminal roles over the past 30-plus years, Dunst is a bona fide icon. Right from her start as a child actress in the ’90s, with scene-stealing early performances in Interview With the Vampire, Little Women, and, yes, Jumanji, she’s had a knack for mixing vulnerability and hilarity onscreen.” Read more at Thrillist....

“Apparently, Capcom announced this back in 2018? With Masi Oka (Heroes, Hawaii Five-0, The Meg) serving as co-producer? I’m trying to remember what I was doing in 2018 because I feel like I would’ve remembered an announcement like this, yet here I am, looking at the words ‘Mega Man’ and ‘Netflix’ in quiet… something.” Read more at The Mary Sue Could Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop from Hawkeye appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?...
