    Twitch Adds New Tool to Combat Hate Raids and Harassment

    A new "shield mode" is Twitch's latest effort to help stop harassment.

    Twitch, the live streaming platform owned by Amazon, is again trying to curtail harassment campaigns that have been aptly named "hate raids." This is where some loser gets a large number of people to mass "attack" a target, usually a streamer that is actively streaming, with chat spam that typically consists of personal attacks, slurs, and even personal information.

  • Charlie Day as Luigi Shines in Latest Trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    If there was ever such a stark contrast in casting choices, this would be it.

    On one hand, you still have the terrible choice of Chris Pratt as the voice of Mario. On the other hand you have what is possibly the most perfect pick of Charlie Day as the voice of Luigi. You get a decent amount of both, including the first time hearing Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, more of Jack Black's Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key's Toad, and more all courtesy of the newest trailer for The Super Mario...
