Jonathan Joss, who appeared in Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption, shot dead in Texas

Jonathan Joss, a 59-year-old actor known for his roles in video games and as John Redcorn in King of the Hill, was shot multiple times during a confrontation with a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, near his former residence, which had burned down earlier this year. Emergency medical services pronounced him dead at the scene. Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, reported that they had faced over two years of harassment from local residents, including violent homophobic slurs, leading up to the incident. De Gonzales stated that Joss pushed him out of the way during the shooting, saving his life. Joss had previously indicated that the fire that destroyed their home was an accident caused by a barbecue grill, while de Gonzales claimed it was part of ongoing harassment. Joss's career included voice work in various television shows and video games, with notable roles in Red Dead Redemption, Days Gone, Wasteland 3, and Cyberpunk 2077. He was set to reprise his role in a revival of King of the Hill scheduled to premiere on Hulu in August.

Ubisoft marks 10 years of trolling Splinter Cell fans with a new tease and I can’t believe I’m saying this but they used the wrong picture of Sam Fisher

Fans of the Splinter Cell series have been waiting for a remake announced nearly four years ago, but June 2024 passed without significant updates. Instead, an animated series on Netflix was announced, which will not feature Michael Ironside's voice, and a Splinter Cell movie starring Tom Hardy received a formal nod after being announced in 2012. The remake was unveiled in December 2021, but updates have indicated it is being rewritten for a modern audience, and the director has stepped down, leading to fan disillusionment. Speculation exists that Ubisoft may reveal news at the Summer Game Fest or an upcoming Ubisoft Forward event, but concerns about disappointment are growing. Ubisoft shared an image of Sam Fisher that confused fans, as it was from Pandora Tomorrow instead of Chaos Theory, raising doubts about the company's commitment to the franchise. The ongoing situation has led to speculation that it may be an elaborate prank, while fans continue to hope for the remake's eventual release.

10 biggest console-exclusive games that make me wish I wasn’t a PC gamer

PC gaming has a vast library, but exclusivity still attracts gamers. Several acclaimed games remain unavailable on PC due to various reasons. 1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - High odds of being released; originally a PlayStation title, known for its exploration and iconic protagonist. 2. God Hand - Practically none; a 2006 PlayStation 2 exclusive with a unique combat system. 3. Mega Man Legends & Legends 2 - Basically zero; dormant series with a passionate fanbase but poor sales. 4. Silent Hill - Possible, but unlikely; a hallmark of survival horror with no modern platform release yet. 5. Pokémon Conquest - Absolutely not; a Nintendo DS exclusive with ties to Nobunaga's Ambition. 6. The Last Guardian - Not likely, but a chance exists; known for its emotional narrative and visuals. 7. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo doesn’t have to; successful on the Switch, likely to remain exclusive. 8. Super Mario Party Jamboree - Less than zero; relies on motion controls, making a PC adaptation unlikely. 9. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - Higher than you might think, but not great; technical challenges hinder potential releases. 10. Bloodborne - Definitely coming soon (maybe, probably not though); ongoing rumors about a potential PC release.
