Bethesda’s Todd Howard Explains Why the Team Chose to Work on ‘Starfield’ Over ‘Elder Scrolls VI’
This year marks the 10th-anniversary of Skyrim, and while Bethesda is busy celebrating the occasion with a new Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, it also means that fans of the Elder Scrolls franchise haven’t had a new installment for a decade. Speaking to IGN, Bethesda director Todd Howard has now divulged why the company has decided to move forward with Starfield instead of making Elder Scrolls VI first. While both games were announced during E3 back in 2018, Howard explained that Bethesda had already set its eyes on Starfield as early as 2015 when it had just finished developing Fallout 4. “We felt doing something like Starfield,” he remarked. “We’d been wanting to do something else for a long time and play in a new universe, so if not now — I’m going back i...

Travis Scott’s Unruly Concert History Raises Red Flags in Astroworld Lawsuits
“This put everyone on notice: ‘This is what has happened, and there is no reason it can’t happen again,’” said John Werner, a lawyer in Beaumont, Texas, who is not involved in Astroworld cases. “They know this is a situation that can get out of hand.” “This tragedy was months, if not years, in the making,” wrote Houston lawyer Steve Kherkher in a lawsuit demanding more than $1 million for a man trampled in the melee, which he said was “predictable and preventable” given the rapper’s history. More than a dozen lawsuits have been filed so far against Scott and several companies, including entertainment giant Live Nation, concert promoter ScoreMore, and a nonprofit managing the Houston-owned venue. The complaints allege that organizers failed to take simple crowd-control steps, to staff prope...
Rick Jarrard, Producer for Jose Feliciano, Jefferson Airplane and More, Had Died
It was Jarrard who, during a recording session for a holiday album in 1970, encouraged Feliciano to “write a new Christmas song,” according to reps. Jarrard also floated the idea of this Christmas song performed in Spanish. With a touch of inspiration, “Feliz Navidad” — one of the most enduring Christmas songs of all time — came together at pace. “It just came to me; there’s no rhyme or reason,” Feliciano told Billboard in 2020, ahead of the song’s 50th anniversary. “The first lyric came to me, then I put the English lyric into it, not realizing I had made it the only bilingual Christmas song ever in the world. I created a monster.” It’s a monster that keeps growing. “Feliz Navidad” last year lifted to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 — its first top ...
Vance Joy’s Travels Are Just Getting Started With New Music, Tour
“It’s funny how that song came along at the last moment of my studies. It came along at that important moment when I was deciding how I was going to spend the next year. That was fortunate. For whatever reason it opened-up at exactly the right time.” In music, timing is everything. “Riptide” was the zeitgeist. It topped triple j’s Hottest 100 poll, won APRA’s song of the year in 2014, caught the attention of TayTay, and it changed the artist’s life. To date, Joy’s singles, which include “Mess is Mine,” “Georgia,” “Fire and the Flood,” “Lay It On Me,” “I’m With You,” “Saturday Sun” and “We’re Going Home,” have been streamed more than 3.2 billion times. The legal community’s loss is the music industry’s gain. With the prospect of a career behind a desk in the rearview, Joy has re...

Nikki Glaser, who was also in the lineup, says she was honored to support the charity but worried that her brand of sharp, attack humor wasn’t always appropriate. “There’s a part of me that doesn’t want to make people feel uncomfortable with some kind of material. But at the same time, I’m like, they don’t need me to be soft or to hold back,” she said. “So, I’m struggling with that.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also attended and said she was committed to ensuring that returning military not fall through t...
