Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser opens up on Bully 2: “You just can’t do all the projects you want”

by admin September 28, 2025


Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has opened up on why we never received a follow-up to 2006’s Bully.

Talking to IGN at LA Comic Con, House was asked why he never returned to Jimmy’s life despite Bully’s popularity and critical acclaim, and his response was both candid and probably a little frustrating for those who’d been patiently waiting for Bully 2, as he simply attributed it to “bandwidth issues”.

“I think it was just bandwidth issues,” Houser admitted (thanks, InsiderGaming). “You know, if you’ve got a small lead creative team, and a small senior leadership crew, you just can’t do all the projects you want.

“And you know, we certainly– how we’re structured at [Houser’s current studio] Absurd [Ventures], we’re doing two projects with a fairly small team, and it’s really trying to think through that. How can we do that and keep them both moving?”

Since its unveiling in June 2023, Absurd Ventures has announced two “universes” – American Caper and A Better Paradise – intended to form the basis of multiple transmedia projects, beginning with a graphic novel and podcast, respectively. Meanwhile, a job advertisement spotted in May 2024 confirmed Absurd’s first video game project is also in the works, and after a difficult year for Immortals of Aveum developer Ascendant Studios, a “core team” of around 20 employees decamped to Absurd this time last year, establishing a new studio now known as Absurd Marin.

As for Rockstar’s primary project at the moment? GTA 6 is currently expected to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 26th May 2026, following its not exactly unexpected delay earlier this year. And there’s little doubt it’s going to be big; as recently Take-Two confirmed, GTA 5 has now sold an astonishing 210m copies since its release 12 years ago, so it’s probably not unreasonable to presume its massively anticipated sequel will manage to match that and then some.

Commanders’ Dan Quinn bloodied by Marcus Mariota collision

by admin September 21, 2025



Sep 21, 2025, 03:41 PM ET

LANDOVER, Md. — Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn wiped blood from his face as he walked to the locker room at halftime Sunday after getting knocked down on the sideline in a collision with quarterback Marcus Mariota.

At the end of a 4-yard run in the final seconds of the second quarter of Washington’s game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, Mariota was shoved out of bounds. He knocked into Quinn, who fell backward and slammed his head on the ground.

Mariota dusted the coach off with a towel, but Quinn bled from cuts on the bridge of his nose.

Soon after, Matt Gay made a 56-yard field goal on the last play of the first half to give the Commanders a 20-10 lead at the break. They ended up winning, 41-24.

‘Andor’ Writer Dan Gilroy Knows Why You’re Thinking About the Show This Week (and It’s Not the Emmys)

by admin September 19, 2025


Though we here at io9 would have preferred Andor win all the Emmys, the Disney+ Star Wars show did pick up a few notable trophies, including Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. Dan Gilroy, brother of Andor creator Tony Gilroy, won the honor for season two’s ninth episode, “Welcome to the Rebellion.” You know, the one where Mon Mothma makes her ferocious speech condemning genocide and monstrous leaders from the senate floor.

While remarking on how unfortunately relevant the story of Andor ended up being isn’t new—Tony Gilroy has certainly spoken about it—the themes of the show have become even more potent in the wake of ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the talk show host’s comments on the death of Charlie Kirk.

Yesterday, creatives and subscribers called for a boycott of Disney, ABC’s parent company and also the corporate parent of Star Wars. Today, Dan Gilroy published an op-ed in Deadline with a “Welcome to the Rebellion”-style wake-up call.

“As one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away,” it begins.

“Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week.”

The essay goes on to condemn Disney’s decision to suspend Kimmel, noting, “I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision.”

Gilroy goes on to address others in the entertainment industry, warning Hollywood it cannot accept this turn of events in our “brave new Trumpian world,” as he puts it, because it’s poised to get worse: “The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most.”

Gilroy finishes by encouraging action. “Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down,” he writes. “Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written—the pen is in your hand.”

Read the full essay at Deadline; if you haven’t cancelled Disney+, you can still watch Andor there.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.6 brings new forms for Dan Heng and March 7th, and you can earn one of them for free

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.6 brings new forms for Dan Heng and March 7th, and you can earn one of them for free

by admin September 12, 2025


The Honkai: Star Rail livestream just ended, and it brought us a first look at Version 3.6, and confirmed a few of the fan theories that have been going around. To begin with, 3.6 is titled Back to Earth in Evernight, and it’s going to arrive September 24.

If that title wasn’t enough of a hint, 3.6 will indeed deliver for fans of March 7th, and Dan Heng, and there’s even more great news for longtime players.

Honaki: Star Rail Version 3.6 marks the start of a new storyline that will unfold over several chapters in the future. Miss Evernight’s Era Nova project is at the centre, and there’s a lot at stake for the world of Amphoreus.

The new story sees the return of Dan Heng, who’s going back to Amphoreus to reunite with the Express Crew. Which leads us nicely into the two new characters joining the roster. Evernight is a 5-Star Ice character who follows the Path of Remembrance. Evernight, of course, is a new form of March 7th’s, one of Star Rail’s starting characters.

Evernight is designed to fight with Memosprites summons. She increases the crit damage of all Memosprites on any team she’s on. This bonus grows the more characters on the team follow the Path of Remembrance. Evernight has her own summon, Evey, which grants her Memoria when summoned. The more of that she gathers, the higher Evey’s damage output.

Her Ultimate deals damage to all enemies, and places herself and Evey in a state called Darkest Riddle, which increases both of their damage outputs for as long as it lasts.

Watch on YouTube

Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae is the second playable character in 3.6. Like Evernight, this is also a new form of one of the game’s earliest characters, that being Dan Heng, of course. This evolved version (also 5-Star) of Dan Heng is post-Imbibitor Lunae, taking him further down the Path of Permanence.

Permansor Terrae is the name of his newly-unlocked power, which allows him to be a better defensive character. The way this takes form in combat is that he can pick one teammate and designate them as Bondmate, which summons a Souldragon for them.This form also grants all allies an additional Shield. Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae’s Ultimate deals damage to all enemies, and grants more Shields to the team, while enhancing the Souldragon.

Permansor Terrae may be the easier of the two new characters to get, because anyone (at Trailblaze Level 3 or above) who logs in can claim him for free. This offer is available until the end of Version 4.0.

There’s more new content worth mentioning in Version 3.6, too. Anomaly Arbitration, the high-difficulty trial, arrives alongside the update. Anomaly Arbitration is made up of three trial stages, with one final stage.

You’ll need to form a separate team for each trial stage. Clearing all stages earns you an Interference Key, a new item, alongside other rewards. MiHoYo said you can also expect more events to roll out gradually, including the seasonal Colorful Mayhem.

The other major feature in 3.6 is Main Story Replay, which does exactly what you think. You can replay any Trailblaze Mission, Trailblaze Continuance, and Companion Mission, so long as you’ve previously completed them. The feature even lets you pick the specific segments/cutscenes you want to reexperience.
