DC Council Approves Comprehensive Changes to Sports Betting Regulations
The Washington DC Council has unanimously approved the final reading of the budget bill, which incorporates pivotal changes for mobile sports betting in the District. This decision, reached on Tuesday, is now awaiting the signature of Mayor Muriel Bowser. Following her approval, the bill will undergo a 30-day congressional review period, potentially fast-tracking the implementation of these changes.
The newly adopted regulations propose significant modifications to the existing sports betting landscape. Since April, FanDuel has been the exclusive District-wide operator, replacing Intralot’s GambetDC. However, FanDuel has not issued any public comments regarding the Council’s recent decision. However, last week the company clearly stated that it would consider terminating the current agreement if the budget is approved.
A key amendment in the new sports betting legislation, approved earlier this month, allows the seven professional sports teams based …
Lego Horizon Tallneck Restocked At Amazon, Appears To Be On The Brink Of Extinction
If Lego Horizon Adventures and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has you itching to build an actual Lego set inspired by PlayStation franchise, you can do that with the Lego Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck. This awesome building kit released back in 2022 for $90, but it has been out of stock at most retailers all throughout 2024–it’s even listed as discontinued at Best Buy. The only major retailer that has it right now is Amazon Come from malaysia online casino . Though your order is shipped and sold by Amazon, the list price has increased to $105. Still, this is less than you’d pay on the reseller market. With Lego Horizon Adventures releasing November 14 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered launching October 31, it seems likely that interest in this set and its price will rise in the coming months.

Constance Is A Colorful Combo Of Hollow Knight And Splatoon, And I Dig It
Save for that blissful half-hour of Silksong that I played back in E3 2019, Constance is, so far, the best Hollow Knight-like game I’ve ever played. It’s not exactly the same–Constance takes a page out of Splatoon’s book and features a main character that can wield dangerous purple paint and submerge into puddles in order to slink past enemies or obstacles or ascend up walls–but I couldn’t help but be reminded of my time spend in Hallownest. My time with the game was unfortunately quite short–I played a 20-minute Gamescom demo–but I adored what I saw of its quirky world and enjoyed how much the various designs of the robotic enemies and assortment of paint-based abilities shook up each combat encounter. Just as Hollow Knight’s gameplay emulates the acrobatic dance and frenzied movements of insects, combat in Constance feels like the frenetic flourishes and flicks of a paintbrush as an artist enters the flow state.
Constance’s story seems quite interesting but I’m…
CoD- Warzone May 26 Patch Notes Detail Anti-Cheat Update And Stim Changes
Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded went live for Warzone on May 25, bringing major changes to the battle royale with a fast travel system and lower player count, but a smaller update has followed on May 26 to include an update to the Ricochet anti-cheat and some bug fixes.
Warzone’s anti-cheat should hopefully continue to combat all the hackers, as the patch notes vaguely mention an update has been made to the Ricochet PC kernel-level driver detection systems and server-side security.

Halo Wars 2 Review
Halo Wars 2 lies somewhere in between an RTS game for Halo fans and a Halo game for RTS fans. It adapts Halo’s FPS roots well, taking the series’ classic missions and reformatting them in ways that make sense for a strategy game without sacrificing accessibility. But ultimately, this is a very light RTS experience geared toward Halo veterans, not a robust strategy game, and it runs out of steam quickly.
Halo Wars 2 takes place nearly three decades after the first Halo Wars and chronologically after Halo 5. The crew of the Spirit of Fire emerges from cryosleep and is now taking on a rogue Brute faction called the Banished, rather than the Covenant. At the head is Atriox, a Brute known for his extensive cruelty, and you and your army are tasked with finding him and shutting him down. It’s an interesting story as a Halo fan in that it explores other aspects of the universe, but it doesn’t offer compelling revelations or necessary information for the main…

Inside Out 2 Scores Second Biggest Animated Box Office Opening Ever
Pixar’s latest film, Inside Out 2, has been a box office hit, raking in a total of $155 million domestically and $295 million globally on its opening weekend. That gives it the biggest opening of 2024 so far, topping both Dune: Part Two’s $182.5 million opening and Godzilla x Kong’s $194 million opening.
Inside Out 2 had the second-most successful opening weekend ever for an animated film, coming in just under Disney’s Incredibles 2, which earned $182.6 million domestically when it first opened in 2018. Inside Out 2’s final domestic gross is expected to exceed half a $500 million, according to Deadline. EnTelligence, a company that “provides proprietary impression analysis” for motion picture groups and streaming services, reports that 12 million tickets have been sold. The last film to sell over 10 million tickets during its opening weekend was last summer’s Barbie, which sold 13 million tickets during its debut. The film has also attracted a more diverse audience t…
IO's James Bond Game Aims To Stand Next To The Movies, Hitman Series Goes On Hiatus
New details have come to light about Hitman developer IO’s new James Bond game, which tells an original story about the superspy’s origins. IO studio boss Christian Elverdam told Eurogamer that the aim is to “reinvent” the James Bond video game series with the title. For what it’s worth, the next James Bond films wants to be a reinvention of the character with a new actor.
IO’s other top boss, Hakan Abrak, said the James Bond game aims to be a product that can “stand next to the TV and the movies and whatnot.” The line about TV is curious because no James Bond TV series have been announced beyond the upcoming reality competition show.
Abrak went on to say that the pitch to James Bond rights-owners MGM and Eon was not for a simple tie-in that would make money based on the name alone.
“It’s not just capitalizing on IP and doing one game and trying to earn something–it’s not like that. When we commit to something we commit with everything: with community and how we g…

Showtime has announced that actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Trial of the Chicago 7) will star as Uber CEO Travis Kalanick in an upcoming biopic series about the ride-sharing app and its co-founder and first CEO.

Gordon-Levitt is the only cast member announced so far.
