Comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen seems to have one goal when he dons the loose-fitting suit and goofy mustache of fictional Kazakhstani reporter Borat Sagdiyev: enabling his interview subjects to incriminate and humiliate themselves of seemingly their own accord. In short, he gets people to say and do compromising things of their own volition, with no one to blame but themselves. That schtick continues in the sequel Borat 2, whose release date on Amazon Prime Video is this Friday, October 23.Borat's latest "victim" is Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and current lawyer for Donald Trump. Those who pay attention to the news might remember that Giuliani called the cops on Cohen back in July for a vaguely described prank; Page Six reported at the time that Giuliani had phoned the police after a man wearing a "pink bikini with lace underneath a translucent mesh top" crashed what he thought had been an above-board interview about the Trump administration's response to COVID-19. "This person comes in yelling and screaming, and I thought this must be a scam or a shake-down, so I reported it to the police. He then ran away," Giuliani reportedly said at the time. "I only later realized it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn’t get me."

We've already seen a couple of alternative costumes for Miles Morales ahead of his debut in Spider-Man: Miles Morales (even one including an adorable cat). But in a new tease for the PlayStation 5 title, Miles' is sporting a new look that features a cowl.Insomniac Games has released an excerpt from the in-game version of the Daily Bugle, with a piece focused on two new styles that Miles has been seen sporting around the city. The first should be familiar, with the T.R.A.C.K suit being one of the first alternative costumes revealed. But the second is entirely new, with Miles donning a hood in the Crimson Cowl costume.In 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, each costume featured unique abilities that could be used in combat. It's not clear yet what abilities might be attributed to each of Miles' outfits, but it's presumably going to follow the same formula. Abilities could also be used with other costumes once unlocked, letting you look your best while fighting your best at the same time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Super Mario Bros. 35--a multiplayer battle royale take on the original Super Mario Bros.--is one of the strangest games Nintendo has released in a long time, and it's garnered quite a bit of attention recently. Now, some clever players have discovered that you can play as Luigi in the game, just like in the original Super Mario Bros., though they haven't quite agreed on how to unlock him.Hold L when you start a match and you can be a Luigi! L is real in SMB35! #SuperMarioBros35 #NintendoSwitchOnline #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/ixEM5FtU5r — Combo @ Open Commissions (@CombotronRobot) October 20, 2020The original Reddit post claimed that you had to reach Star Rank, which is progress level 100 in the game, before you could play as Luigi. Follow-up posts and replies from fans seem to indicate that you have to complete every stage in the game at least once, including the final Bowser in 8-4. It's unclear if Star Rank is also required. Players simply hold L during the matchmaking process, and they'll play as Luigi instead of Mario.This isn't the first time that fans have tried to find Luigi in a Mario game. For many years, a rumor circulated that Luigi was playable in Super Mario 64, which was seemingly bolstered by a blocky texture on a fountain in the castle courtyard that supposedly read "L is Real 2401." Earlier this year, hackers discovered Luigi in the game's source code following a massive leak, finally confirming that he was indeed hiding in the game all along.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

We were soaring towards Quarry alongside two other teams. I knew we'd have a better chance at taking them out if we landed together towards the back of the location--where we could loot before fighting. Our boots hit the ground and my two teammates, one picking up a molotov cocktail on the way there, ran towards the hum of the chest we could hear inside a nearby building."Holy crap! What the hell!?" one of my teammates spouted as he was greeted by a jump scare after opening the chest. He backtracked and threw the molotov cocktail, lighting our other teammate on fire. "Oh s*** man, I'm sorry."Call of Duty: Warzone's The Haunting of Verdansk event provides dozens of moments like this. The limited-time event that runs through November 3 brings back the same tension that first made battle royales a sensation in 2017. It turns Warzone upside down with creepy environmental changes, a haunted Easter egg hunt with numerous rewards, and two modes that are surprisingly terrifying.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Quibi is the little short-form mobile video streamer that could not, as it turns out. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that amid mounting problems, the service has opted to shut itself down. Thus ends a year full of high-flying expectations for the entertainment start-up that raised $1.75 billion in capital.Earlier in the year, Quibi was being hailed by founder Jeffrey Katzenberg--and many media outlets--as a revolutionary new combatant in the streaming wars, with its emphasis on short-form content specifically geared for mobile devices. But as Katzenberg explained in a call to investors, he was forced to shut down the business due to flagging viewer numbers, disappointing download numbers, and also an ongoing lawsuit from technology firm Eko over the ownership of the company's streaming technology.As recently as September, Quibi was reportedly exploring options to stay afloat by seeking an acquisition, but as the recent announcement signals, that did not pan out.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
