MSNBC came in third place, averaging 556,000 viewers and CNN fell short with 450,000.

The forced experiment of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” taking up barely a fifth of the network’s weekday 9 p.m. ET airtime has flopped at attracting viewers, particularly among the key demographic that keeps the headlights on. Maddow, who earns around $30 million a year, said in May that she would only broadcast “The Rachel Maddow Show” once a week, on Mondays, in order to devote more time to other projects. The coveted 9 p.m. ET hour that she has long owned is now occupied by “MSNBC Prime,” which will be hosted by a rotating set of hosts for the balance of…
According to Kotaku, Electronic Arts will not join other major gaming developers in openly supporting abortion & transgender rights. When asked about it at a company-wide town hall gathering on May 24, the gaming publisher said it couldn’t take a position on every public topic and that “being an inclusive company means being inclusive of all those points of view.” The comments were made during a meeting with business leaders to discuss new EA titles, corporate strategy, wage rises, and other topics on employees’ minds. One of the subjects discussed was abortion rights, following reports that the Supreme Court is…
In 2016, when Johnny Depp and Amber Heard reached a divorce settlement, Heard announced that she’d donate her entire $7 million payout to charity, adding that two organizations would be splitting that money: the American Civil Liberties Union and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. WATCH Amber Heard give testimony to Johnny Depp lawyers: Heard had received the full settlement amount by October 2018, she testified in Depp’s defamation trial against her. At around the same time, in a media interview, she also said that she had already donated the funds, but an ACLU executive testified earlier in the trial that the…
Actor Johnny Depp is in a defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard and there’s a few times where it seems like he absolutely destroyed Amber and her lawyers. The video was described as the following: “Law&Crime presents a collection of top moments from Johnny Depp’s testimony including his comebacks and reactions to questions from attorneys. It can be inferred that Depp was surprised by the number of objections based on hearsay.” WATCH IT HAPPEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXFvkJLqPqo Some of the best comments to this video said the following: Johnny’s a better attorney than Amber’s lawyers. That bit where he pauses cuz he knows…
Stormy Daniels, real identity Stephanie Clifford, has been ordered to make a payment to Donald Trump, the former president of the United States almost $300,000 in legal expenses, according to a federal appeals court ruling on Friday. According to CNBC, the 9th Appeals Court “ruled which had no jurisdiction over Daniels’ appeal of the attorneys’ costs issue because she failed to file a notice of appeal within a 30-day period of a federal court awarded the costs to Trump.” “The appeals court also ruled that the same judge had appropriately imposed another $1,000 in fines against Daniels in the same…
Denzel Washington talked about his Christian faith in an interview to promote his new film, “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Washington said that before his grandmother died, he would attempt to honor her and God by living the rest of his days in a way that would make her proud. “If you don’t have a spiritual anchor you’ll be easily blown by the wind and you’ll be led to depression,” Washington said after revealing that he doesn’t look at his career from an earthly perspective, saying of his faith. Interviewer Maureen Dowd asked him if he had any concerns about the…
According to an exciting new report, Sony is working on a competitive Xbox Game Pass service for the well-known PlayStation. According to Bloomberg, individuals familiar with Sony’s plans revealed interesting info of a brand new service code titled “Spartacus,” according to Bloomberg. It will allow PlayStation fans to pay a monthly fee to access a library of new and old games. This is the same strategy that Xbox employs for its popular Game Pass subscription service. According to the project materials, the planned service would be separated into three categories. The first contains all of the benefits of PlayStation Plus,…
Halo Infinite will be supported for a long time, according to 343 Industries. The decision to extend the game’s compatibility to the next Xbox shouldn’t be a surprise, whatever it is and whenever it is released. As a result, 343 Industries plans to expand the game’s weaponry. It is still not clear what these weapons are, but there will be more. The news comes from 343 Industries’ Head of Creative, Joseph Staten, who stated as much in an interview with Game Informer. Staten, unfortunately, did not elaborate on the subject. So far, we don’t know how many additional weapons will…
If you’ve been trying to get your hands on the PS5 console, let’s take a look at how BOTS can derail your plans. People have been raving about the console since it was announced in November 2020, but obtaining it appears to be a near-impossible task. Yes, the global pandemic has made matters even worse, thanks to chip shortages and organized efforts to obtain consoles in large quantities, but the aggravating situation continues to this day. The bots are programmed in Python and simulate how a human would buy a console on the internet. Programmers use their code to instruct…
Many MCU fans were alarmed when Tom Holland told Entertainment Weekly in October that the cast of Spider-Man: No Way Home was treated “like the end of the franchise” during filming. Holland’s contract is slated to expire after the forthcoming Spider-Man film, so it made sense. However, Amy Pascal, the producer, confirmed to Fandango that Holland would reprise his Spider-Man costume. Pascal stated that this was not the last film made with Marvel and Holland, emphasizing that this was not the final Spider-Man film. He went on to say that this isn’t the final film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe…

Halo Infinite’s first previews are looking awesome, but unfortunately, the co-op campaign and Forge mode won’t be in the game when it arrives on December 8th as previously expected. 343 Industries revealed that players will have to wait until at least May 2022 to jump into the co-op campaign with a friend.

A DC Comics artist has quit amid the scandal with the Superman motto being altered to remove the “American way” statement and replacing it with something much different The old Superman motto is “truth, justice, and the American way” – and they’re changing it to “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow” – completely removing the mention of “American way” – a long standing motto, and that’s got a lot of people very irritated. The DC Comics artist who quit is colorist Gabe Eltaeb. He stated that he’s sick of the changes and characters being ruined. Specifically, he said: “I’m tired…
Right after Thanksgiving I was lucky enough to snag an Xbox Series X from Best Buy’s website. I was a fan of the original Xbox, and though I owned an Xbox 360 I wasn’t particularly fond of the system itself. The Xbox One and PS4 were a solid tie for me in the last console generation, and I genuinely think that the One is a fantastic console. That probably has colored my perceptions of the Series X, a console that feels more like a serious upgrade to the One at times rather than something completely novel. After having spent a…
Greedfall recently popped up on Playstation’s PS Now service, and it got me thinking about the game, which I finished on the Xbox One early this year during the initial COVID lockdowns. When I drop money on a game, I fully expect certain things. I want smooth controls, an intuitive interface, slick graphics, and compelling voice acting. Greedfall, a 2019 RPG from the folks at Spiders, doesn’t have any of that. It looks and plays a lot like a last gen game, which would be completely forgivable on last gen hardware. On the Xbox One or PS4 the game will…
A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to re-experience some of the games that helped define my childhood. Specifically, I wanted to explore the Sega Genesis library and revisit games that were attached to some really fond memories. The Genesis was in my sister’s room, while I had the SNES and NES hooked up in mine. As a result I didn’t get to play it as much as I wanted, as my sister wasn’t too keen on me being in her room, especially since I had a tendency to hang her Barbie dolls from the ceiling fan and…
Are you just now getting back into Destiny 2 after ditching it because you got sick of grinding for the same weapons and couldn’t find anyone to raid with. Oh, that’s just me. Never mind. Either way, here’s a Beyond Light video from Destiny that we all need to watch before we dive nose first into the ice galaxy and stasis. Come on, Guardian, your light depends on it! Better get blessed by the Traveler on the way, too. We’ll be wielding some icicles in this one, so hopefully you’re prepared. Annnnnnd hopefully Crucible isn’t completely broken with people sliding…
Megyn Kelly faced insurmountable backlash after she replied with vigilance to a message posted by President-elect Joe Biden, who called for America to unite. Kelly’s comment was a reference to Joe Biden living in a basement. Joe Biden’s tweet said “A nation united. A nation strengthened. A nation healed. The United States of America.” The former Fox News host, Kelly ripped back at him with a bitter tongue, saying “Written like a man who’s been in his basement for a year.” It was at this point that it went further downhill for the former Fox News and NBC host and…
Anyone else deal with this? You’re a beast getting 20-30+ kills and 2.0+ in Crucible, but as soon as Trials of Osiris comes around, you feel like the bottom smurf on a bad team playing control. Why do I constantly do well at crucible, then literally have people knock on my door and hand my ass to me in Trials? I don’t get it. I run as a team, we call things out, and we work as a team, strategize, and do everything we can. We typically get to three and four wins, but that fifth win hasn’t graced my…
Thinking about getting a next generation gaming console like the latest Xbox or Playstation 5 and didn’t get a preorder in? Well, we have news for you! You can now go to Best Buy on Black Friday and try to get one. Even better, you won’t have to stand in line all night and risk being trampled when the doors open, despite how much fun that sounds. Because you know, nothing says dedication like getting a black eye running to the gaming section and having someone toss you a new Xbox and up-selling an overpriced HDMI cord like they always…
Bungie killed Cayde-6 back in 2018 and left us with a coupon for ramen. As we get closer to the release of Beyond Light, we learn that his ramen coupon will be gone, ghost, goodbye. It’s like they’re literally killing Cayde-6 again. And let’s not forget, he was the only character who was actually kinda cool. The rest are sometimes a bit forgettable when you’re hitting the same cookie cutter events and grinding the same strikes for mediocre rewards. Fans now want a permanent tribute to the witty character as part of a way to keep Cayde-6’s spirit alive. However,…
Bungie and Microsoft partner up and delivers Destiny 2 to Xbox Game Pass this September. Xbox Game Pass subscribers won’t have any troubles as the game will have no additional cost.

However, Destiny 2’s season pass will be sold separately. Microsoft commented that the launch of Destiny 2 into the Game Pass would be limited to the console version of the subscription. They are currently working on it and are planning…
Players have been dealing with sudden disconnections after Destiny 2 Windows PC version left Battlenet. After they came to Steam with Shadowkeep last fall, the errors disrupt all activities. Recently, Bungie partnered up with Valve to fix the errors codenamed “Beaver.” Polygon reports that on July 16, the studio was able to identify the leading causes of Beaver errors on PC.

Microsoft has now confirmed that the Xbox One X is officially discontinued. They are also discontinuing the Xbox One S All-Digital edition. With the Xbox Series X coming out near the end of this year, it makes sense to focus on their next generation system. This all started with a rumor due to a post on Reddit that suggested the discontinuance. The post was titled “All Xbox One Consoles getting discontinued.” and stated “Something interesting I noticed today at my job. I work in electronics at target and I was checking to see if we were getting anymore Xbox one…
Three Destiny 2 players ransacked the mini-raid Dungeon in an astounding eight-minute speedrun. Destiny 2’s dungeon Prophecy is filled with skyboxes and fun puzzles. The Prophecy is the latest addition after Season of Arrivals launched in June. Season of Arrivals launched in June. Players’ characters must descend to the cave, delving into the mysteries that surround the Darkness. They must navigate through the maze located in the Ascendent Realm. The Prophecy is by far Destiny 2’s supreme realm, where anything can happen. As Kotaku words it, you can sweep celestial expanses while riding on a sparrow motorbike. Some puzzles can only be…
Ready for some sweet London accents? Well here’s 20 minutes of Watch Dogs Legion gameplay. No commentary, just the game and Bagley chipping away at us with a few F bombs and a handful of bollocks throughout. This walkthrough gameplay video was titled at 4K PC Ultra. Streaming this at 2160p looked fairly insane and overly pleasant to look at from a graphics perspective. About two thirds of the way through the trailer, you’re flying on a drone and causing a large truck to drive into someone and the wall. Almost reminded me of playing GTAV and all the times…
Ubisoft released the Far Cry 6 cinematic title sequence trailer and it looks like an insane movie. If someone had no idea what Far Cry was, they would probably think this was a movie coming out and would be online searching for tickets to it. The trailer is that cool looking. And don’t forget, we have Giancarlo Esposito as villain Anton Castillo He was Gus Fring on Breaking Bad. He also starred in Better Call Saul. But of course, trailers can all be deceiving and I don’t need the best graphics to make my day. Give me the gameplay and…
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla release date has finally been confirmed by Ubisoft. The date was expected to be at the end of the year, and speculated for December. Nope. It’s now confirmed that Assassins Creed Valhalla will be released on November 17th. The release date slipped out on Instagram in a now deleted post, but sure enough – there’s a screenshot. https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1282035173580632064?s=20 We previously reported on the leaked Valhalla gameplay, so the new trailer may not be as exciting as you’d expect – especially if you’ve spent a half hour on the leaked content. The viking’s harpoon and throwing axes sure…
