Twitch streamer under fire for telling fans to stop "painful" small talk 
Twitch streamer ‘Fleeksie’ has come under fire after advising viewers on how they should and shouldn’t interact with their favorite content creators, leading to backlash from many among the streaming community.
With over 30,000 followers on the Amazon-owned platform, Fleeksie labels herself as the “world’s most pointless Twitch streamer.” While she dips into a variety of games here and there, she’s most often found in the Just Chatting category, watching videos and keeping up with her chat.
stop going into people live streams and asking "how are you" we live. we streaming. other people are watching. the room is not on fire. things are ok. just comment on whats happening. ask someone else in the chat how they are doing if you want small talk
everytime i say "im good how are you" i feel a little puke in the back of my throat rise up. its actually painful responding to that question while ik other people who been watching for 45 mins heard me say it 36 times to all the people before you came up in here with your small talk

Dainty - How are you?

https://www.tableoc.com/2020/09/10/ninja-is-back-exclusively-on-twitch/ 
After a months-long period of “will he or won’t he” with two determined suitors, Twitch and YouTube, streaming megastar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has announced that his post-Mixer streaming return will happen “only” on Twitch.
Last year, Blevins signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft-owned streaming platform Mixer. In June, Microsoft abruptly announced that Mixer had reached the end of the line and encouraged streamers and viewers to move over to Facebook instead. Blevins was reportedly offered a Facebook deal that nearly doubled his multi-million dollar Mixer deal, but he turned it down. Now, months later, he’s back where he started: on Twitch.

Full - Why do you think the change of heart for Ninja?

Gaming News

Twitch brings custom esports competitions to streamers in closed beta 
Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat. Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community.
While the feature is in closed beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Twitch Rivals competitors (along with some other Twitch streamers) will have access starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you’re interested in trying out Versus for yourself.

Dainty - This seems like a great step for both e-sports and Twitch as a whole. What do you think about this move?

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake brings the classic back for Xbox One, PS4, and PC 
Ubisoft is bringing back one of its most legendary games with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, a modern version of the classic action-adventure game set for release on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on January 21st, 2021.
The company says that the new version of The Sands of Time is emphatically Ubisoft’s first full-fledged remake, not a remaster or reboot. Ubisoft Pune & Ubisoft Mumbai rebuilt the original game from the ground up using Ubisoft’s modern AnvilNext Engine, complete with new motion capture animation, new assets, and some adjustments to the gameplay for modern audiences.

The Sands of Time Remake still strongly resembles the original, though, with the same storyline and gameplay. Don’t expect a full-scale reimagining like the recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake. That said, the company is promising that it has enhanced the camera controls and combat system with the aim of improving on those aspects from their 2008 iterations.

FullBump - Are you like me? I have never played this series at all and am actually kind of excited to try an older classic.

Entertainment News

MGM Is Developing a ROBOCOP Prequel Series That Focuses on a Young Dick Jones 
I’ve got some exciting news for all you RoboCop fans out there! MGM is developing a prequel series that will focus on the life of a young Dick Jones. I’m sure you all remember the villainous and corrupt Senior Vice President of Omni Consumer Products, who at the end of the original movie, ended up blown away by RoboCop epically shooting him out of a boardroom window! Such an awesomely classic ‘80s movie death.
There is also a new sequel for the original film that’s in development, which is based on the original plans from RoboCop screenwriters Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner. Neill Blomkamp was originally attached to direct, but after he dropped out he was replaced with Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters).
When talking about the ideas that they are playing with, Neumeier goes on to say:
“There’s the idea of doing things about business and law enforcement in the city of Detroit a minute-and-a-half in the future, it would be a way to do all sorts of stories about business and tech, Silicon Valley, corporations, snakes in suits, cops, all that. It’s a wonderful rich tapestry.
“So we’ve been talking about it and I think we have an interesting story. It’s fun to work with a younger version of the Dick Jones we meet in RoboCop. He’s an actualised corporate predator [in the move] but nobody necessarily starts out being the bad guy.

Daintiest - In the wake of the popularity of retro synth music/future retroism this seems like great timing for a show like this. What's your take?

THE WALKING DEAD Will End with an Extended Season 11

The Walking Dead’s upcoming 11th season will be its last.
Season 11 was originally set to air this October in line with the show’s normal Fall TV cycle. However, the coronavirus pandemic means fans will only get the season 10 “finale” this year and Season 11 in 2021. Now, the upcoming season will be expanded from the 16-episode norm to a whopping 24 episodes over the course of the next two years. This means the series finale will take place in 2022.

It’s sad news for a lot of long-term and dedicated viewers. But Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier fans won’t have to say goodbye to their faves forever. The aforementioned Deadline report reveals that actors Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride will go on to star in a Walking Dead spin-off series. The Daryl and Carol adventure will debut sometime in 2023. It would also be a spoiler for their future if it wasn’t so obvious that they are basically unkillable at this point.

FullBump - It's kind of crazy to think something that has been a TV and nerd culture staple is coming to an end. What are your thoughts and how do you feel about the spin off announcement?

BOLD PREDICTIONS - Brought to you by the Tighe Up

I cant tell you what the next must watch tv show will be but The mandalorian will have higher ratings than its first season while the Witcher will not.

 

I cant tell you if anything will beat titanic but Wonder Woman 2 will have the top box office numbers of all the current justice league lines. 

 

I cant tell you if anything will ever beat super mario but Assassin's creed will get a lot of blowback for leaving its roots.

 

I cant tell you what was crossing Peter Quill’s mind at “that” moment  butThor will be the first marvel solo with a 5th installment.

Plug your stuff.
