XDefiant has been out for over two months now. The free-to-play first-person shooter by Ubisoft took the world by storm during its closed beta days, garnering a ton of hype and attention.

When the game launched, it quickly reached over one million players and has since reached over 11 million unique players. However, despite the game’s immediate success, it appears that XDefiant game modes are already being abandoned.

In the extremely competitive free-to-play shooter environment, Ubisoft’s new game is now falling behind.

XDefiant – Already Running Into Problems

The game’s newest map, Daytona, launched a few days ago on August 1, recreating a street racetrack for the linear game modes; Escort and Zone Control.

Ubisoft launched a dedicated XDefiant Daytona Playlist to those who wish to only play the new map and get used to its surroundings. This is normal for free-to-play shooters whenever a new map gets introduced, allowing...

Jennifer Aydin isn’t making any friends following her recent stint on Watch What Happens Live.

She was a bit feral, with viewers calling her “unhinged.”

Since that appearance, Jennifer has been continuously trolled for her antics — and style.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star let her feelings be known in the Clubhouse, and while she may chosen her outfit as a nod to Taylor Swift, it was underwhelming for most.

However, there were some things that Jennifer did or said that were noticed, but much of it wasn’t good news for the Jersey Housewife.

Can Teresa Giudice’s best friend redeem herself going forward?

Jennifer Aydin called out for having ‘no class’

Jennifer Aydin isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, which should surprise no one if they’ve been following anything happening on social media.

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s cult classic comedy Uhf has been released on a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in celebration of its 35th anniversary.

Made from a new 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative, the Blu-ray also features previously released audio commentary from Yankovic and director Jay Levey, as well as deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and a 2014 retrospective panel held at San Diego Comic-Con.

Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy).

Uhf received mixed reviews and was a commercial flop,...

Andy Cohen’s hit Bravo show Watch What Happens Live has reached a milestone.

The Wwhl host and executive producer has opened up about the show’s lack of respect in the late-night talk show world.

There are many late-night talk shows, but none like Wwhl or the Bravo clubhouse.

However, it’s no secret the show doesn’t necessarily get the same respect as shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Ahead of the Watch What Happens Live 15th anniversary special on Sunday, June 30, Andy admitted he feels the show deserves a seat at the table.

In fact, Andy has even explained why he feels like he and the show are not part of the late-night community, so to speak.

The game, which has been gaining a lot of traction, is all set to get a new feature in Season 1, and it’s coming sooner than anyone expected. This surprise announcement could very well make the game a lot more fun for the hardcore fans.

Twitch is doing away with a feature it introduced during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. On April 2, 2024, the streaming platform’s users will lose access to Watch Parties, which enabled co-viewing for Prime Video content.

An update pinned to the top of the Watch Parties Faq page revealed the feature’s impending sunset. “We launched Watch Parties in 2020 to offer streamers a way to enjoy Prime Video content with their communities,” the note reads. “While some streamers incorporated Watch Parties into their streams, usage of Watch Parties on Twitch has declined over the years, so we are removing it and investing these resources in other features.”

Twitch first rolled out Watch Parties in April 2020, just a few months after Covid-19 was first identified. (Has it really been four years already?) To give its community members a socially-distanced way to hang out with one another, Twitch teamed up with parent company Amazon,...

Clubhouse is changing. The app known for popularizing live audio chatrooms is launching a new format based around collaborative audio messages.

The app offered details about “the new Clubhouse” in a post on its official blog. It will push its new format — simply referred to as “Chats” — by encouraging users to send messages to their friends. “When you open Clubhouse, you’ll now see friends — not just the rooms that happen to be live,” the post reads.

The biggest difference between Clubhouse’s two formats is that its rooms are focused on live interactions, while Chats are asynchronous. Users who upload Chats can share them with friends. The people who view the Story-like pieces of content can then add their own commentary. The result, as described by The Verge, is “a kind of voice collage/conversation.”

Clubhouse’s live audio rooms, which helped it become a tech unicorn during the pandemic,...

A research conducted by Norstat, on behalf of Podimo, in the spring examined the podcast listening market in Finland. According to the study, podcasts are displacing other forms of media consumption, particularly traditional electronic media. Of the respondents, 37% reported that podcast listening significantly or moderately reduces their radio listening time, while 23% said the same for television viewing.

Johannes Saukko, the Country Manager at Podimo, explained, "Podcast listening in Finland is on the rise, as is the willingness to pay for podcasts. The engagement with podcasts is high, and the time spent on them naturally comes at the expense of other activities. However, podcasts can also be enjoyed in situations where visual content consumption is not feasible, providing listeners with additional opportunities and enhancing their engagement with podcasts.”

Podcasts are predominantly consumed on the go, although many people also listen to them at home. Saukko added, "Tasks like cleaning and other...

Clubhouse, the live audio app that once drew big buzz and interest in a multi-billion-dollar takeover, is “resetting” and letting go of 50% of its staff of a few dozen workers.

Founders Rohan Seth and Paul Davison sent a memo to employees to break the news Thursday. “We’re deeply sorry to be doing this, and we would not be making this change if we didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary,” they wrote.

Laying out their reasoning for what they called a “resetting” of the company, the pair cited the reopening of society after the shutdowns of the pandemic. “As the world has opened up post-Covid, it’s become harder for many people to find their friends on Clubhouse and to fit long conversations into their daily lives,” the memo added. “To find its role in the world, the product needs to evolve. This requires a period of change.”

Clubhouse,...

Clubhouse, the once-buzzy live audio app that has seen usage decline compared to its pandemic heyday, is laying off more than half of its staffers as the company’s co-founders seek to pare the organization back to a “smaller, product-focused team.”

In a letter shared publicly and with employees Thursday, Clubhouse co-founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth said the company would be “scaling back” by more than 50 percent. A spokesperson for Clubhouse declined to share the exact number of employees impacted by the layoffs, though the company had around 100 employees as of last October.

“We need to reset the company, eliminate roles and take it down to a smaller, product-focused team. We arrived at this conclusion reluctantly, as we have years of runway remaining and do not feel immediate pressure to reduce costs. But we believe that a smaller team will give us focus and speed, and help us launch...

Spotify is shutting down its standalone live audio app, Spotify Live, at the end of this month as the audio giant turns away from live programming, a company spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

As user interest in the live audio app Clubhouse gained momentum during the earlier months of the pandemic, Spotify sought to follow suit with its own live audio offering. In March 2021, the audio company acquired Betty Labs, the maker of the live audio app Locker Room, for 57 million euro (or roughly $67.7 million at the time). By June 2021, Spotify launched its standalone live audio app, Spotify Greenroom, and later rebranded the app to Spotify Live the following year, promoting the rebrand with live shows from Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, comedian and actor Hasan Minhaj and creator Tana Mongeau, among others.

At the time, Spotify also forged ahead with some of its existing live programming deals,...

General Hospital character Maxie Jones is pretty resilient. Her portrayer, Kirsten Storms, is no different. Maxie has been put through the wringer on the soap.

When she was a young girl, she survived a heart transplant. She has an absent father, and her mother wasn’t around much as she grew up. Maxie’s sister and husband were both murdered. She delivered one baby on the side of the road, and another in the woods. Most recently, her fiancé and the father of her youngest daughter turned out to be a psychotic killer.

Storms has also been through some turmoil and is standing strong.

— InStyle (@InStyle) June 1, 2016 Kirsten Storms before ‘General Hospital’ fame

Storms knew she wanted to be an actor. More than that, she knew she wanted to be in soaps.

Kirsten Storms plays Maxie Jones on General Hospital. Maxie is the daughter of the legacy super couple Frisco and Felicia. Her character has been through it all.

Maxie grew up with an absent father and a sometimes-absent mother. But she was lucky to have her stepdad Mac Scorpio raise her and her sister Georgie. Speaking of her sis, she was murdered by the “Text Message Killer” as a teen.

Maxie had a heart transplant as a little girl, she was kidnapped, her husband was shot to death, and she was terrorized by a madman she almost married. A typical soap life.

Although not as bad as Maxie, Storms has had her fair share of drama as well. She shared details of her life with Maurice Benard on his State of Mind podcast.

Kirsten Storms always wanted to be on a soap opera

Bravo announced Wednesday that the network has renewed late-night talk show “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” through 2023. Cohen, who is the face of Bravo, has been the “Watch What Happens Live” host and executive producer since the show premiered in 2009.

“What Watch Happens Live” has proven to be adaptable during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Cohen at first taping the show from his apartment with virtual guests. In fall 2020, Cohen returned to the studio — called “the clubhouse” — solo, but his guests remained virtual. In June of last year, Bravo announced that guests would once again appear from the clubhouse, along with a socially distanced, smaller audience.

Clubhouse, the hip app born in quarantine that enables live audio conversations, has finally launched on Android after being available exclusively on iOS for roughly one year.

In a blog post written by co-founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, Clubhouse says it has “always taken a measured approach to growth, keeping the team small, building in public, and getting feedback from the community along the way.” Even now, the company notes, the app is not available to everyone: new members of the community must be invited by current users.

Clubhouse is similarly available in beta on Android in the U.S. via the same waitlist and invite system, and will roll out to other English-speaking countries and then become available globally, Davison and Seth say. Before the broad rollout, Clubhouse says it will collect feedback and fix repairs while rolling out new features like payments and club creation.

“I condemn hate speech and discriminatory views of every kind,” actor writes

Academy-Award nominated “Judas and the Black Messiah” star Lakeith Stanfield has apologized for his participation in and moderation of a Clubhouse chat this week that included anti-Semitic remarks, saying he condemns “hate speech and discriminatory views of every kind.”

“Yesterday I entered an online chat room on Clubhouse about the teachings of Louis Farrakhan. When the room’s participants noticed me, I was quickly made a moderator of this room,” the Oscar nominee said in a statement posted to Instagram on Friday. “At some point during the dialogue the discussion took a very negative turn when several users made abhorrent anti-Semitic statements and at that point, I should have either shut down the discussion or removed myself from it entirely.”

The “Atlanta” star continued: “I condemn hate speech and discriminatory views of every kind. I unconditionally apologize for...
