    Rob Riggle to Play Frank West in Dead Rising Film

    First of all, I wasn't aware that a Dead Rising film was even a thing. If I did know about it, I've obviously forgotten about it by now. Secondly, comedian and actor Rob Riggle is being brought on to play Frank West in the film.

Here we have a game that is mechanic...

    Because the Steam storefront accidentally listed the game as being on "Early Access" even though it left Early Access and was officially released today. That is literally the only reason that threat was made.
