New Campo Santo game, In the Valley of Gods
"Explore a remote and ancient valley in the Egyptian desert, uncovering treasure and treachery in pursuit of a discovery that could bring you fame and fortune—or leave you for dead, buried beneath the sands."
"just ahead of [Annihilation's] February 2018 release, Paramount . . . is partially unloading the movie"
THR:
The movie, which wrapped shooting in July 2016, had a poor test screening this summer that sources say was the root of the conflict. After the screening, Ellison became concerned that the movie was “too intellectual” and “too complicated,” according to sources, and wanted changes made to make it appeal to a wider audience. They included making Portman’s character more sympathetic as well as tweaking the ending.
...
With Ellison not wanting to lose money after the poor performances of Geostorm, the billionaire producer is seeking to avoid a worldwide release and hopes that a digital release may be a better fit. The deal calls for Netflix to cover a good chunk of the production budget, which is in the $55 million range.

Good advertisement for Overland
haha so you know how a long time ago we had a bug where dogs could drive cars and then we fixed it like good game devs— Overland (@OverlandGame) December 7, 2017
well
it’s back baby
a few patches ago we put in a new feature where the game keeps track of people you treat bad or betray, and then they can hunt you down later in the game, usually with an axe (to grind)— Overland (@OverlandGame) December 7, 2017
it’s coded up to be all dramatic - the game pauses, a pickup truck or van drives into the level you’re in, your crew shouts “oh crap it’s felix!” and then dude gets out the truck and says “REMEMBER ME LOL” etc etc it’s very good— Overland (@OverlandGame) December 7, 2017
except that the code that does this doesn’t check if the survivor is a person or a dog— Overland (@OverlandGame) December 7, 2017
"The N.F.L. will present its Walter Payton Man of the Year award on Saturday...The winner gets a trophy. But it is not of Payton."
NYT:
Instead, it’s of an obscure 6-foot-6-inch, 250-pound offensive tackle who modeled for it when it was originally sculptured in 1969. His name is Steve Wright.
