In August, Microsoft confirmed that Halo: Infinite creative director Tim Longo had left 343 Industries, and that as a result, executive producer Mary Olson "will now take charge of the Campaign team on Halo Infinite as the Lead Producer, utilizing her many years of experience at 343 to help craft a great campaign for fans." Some of those fans were a little unnerved to learn over the weekend that Olson has also left the studio, to become head of production at indie developer Midwinter Entertainment.

I finally finished Control last night and even though I'm still trying to process what the hell actually happened, I feel confident saying that if Remedy wants to just go ahead and make more Control games for the rest of time, that's perfectly fine with me. For now, though, it's continuing to work on the original game, an ongoing process that will bring us the addition of a photo mode in a free update coming tomorrow.

Riot Games took the opportunity to make a wave of announcements and reveals during its tenth anniversary livestream tonight, but one of those might have slipped your eye.

Whilst anxiously prepping for my first Garden of Salvation raid run this weekend, I came across this video titled 'Broken Builds' from Ehroar, who's one of the best Destiny 2 content creators around. In it, he explains how—using a simple-to-activate glitch—you're able to double-dip on some of the most powerful armor mods from Shadowkeep's seasonal artifact.

With the release of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, all players, current and new, were immediately bumped to Power level 750. Lapsed player languishing around 500? Now you're 750. Installing Destiny 2 for the first time ever? Boom, 750. It's like you got tickets to a taping of Oprah and midway through tells everyone to look under their seats, but instead of a PlayStation or a Volvo or whatever, it's 750s all around.

You know, Deadwood lied to me. I remember the piano from Al Swearengen's Wild West saloon, but they had none of the historically accurate arcade cabinets that I now know were everywhere at the time. I learn this fact from One Dimensional Arcade, which sensationally reveals the primitive arcade machines that saloon-goers would play with back in the day.
