Johnny Depp Says He’s Being Boycotted by Hollywood
In the wake of the actor losing a libel case against British tabloid The Sun, which referred to the actor as a “wife-beater” in an article about Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard, MGM reportedly shelved the release of the Andrew Levitas-directed project. Depp was also forced to exit Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts franchise last year after he lost the case. Depp said he “looked those people in the eyeballs and promised we would not be exploitative. That the film would be respectful. I believe that we’ve kept our end of the bargain, but those who came in later should also maintain theirs.” The 58-year-old actor also addressed his standing in the film industry, saying, “Some films touch people and this affects those in Minamata and people who experience similar things.

‘Team Fortress 2’ Fans Are Rebuilding the Game With Valve’s Source 2 Engine
After creating new content for Team Fortress 2 when Steam decided to stop supporting the game, Amper Software is now back again, porting the original 2007 cult classic over to a whole new engine. The original game launched almost a decade and a half ago utilizing Valve‘s Source engine, but the system is unsurprisingly showing signs of age and so Amper decided t0 rebuild the title on the yet-to-be-released Source 2 engine, promising enhanced visuals paired with much better performance. “Migrating to a completely new engine means redoing everything from scratch,” the project’s lead programmer Daniel Basiuc-Brinzei told Kotaku. “Redoing everything from scratch, in our case, means redesigning the aforementioned poor decisions in a more optimized way. Which, in general means drastically improve...
