Longtime Nickelodeon series All That is getting a reboot for 2019, and it’s brought back one of the show’s favourites in Kel Mitchell — who had the “Good Burger” skit he appeared in spun off into a cult film of the same name.

In a clip for the skit’s reboot, the very famous Jonas Brothers drop by the show for quite the charming encounter with Mitchell, who of course plays the dimwitted cashier Ed.

There’s something for young and older in this one, nostalgia for all! Read more…

We regret to inform you that the construction worker father turned influencer who’s gone viral is nothing but a marketing tactic. 

Omar, who posts under the handle @justaconstructionguy, captured Instagram’s heart yesterday with his heartwarming flat lays and love for coffee. A tweet by a now-private Twitter account claimed that her dad heard about influencers and decided to try it out himself. 

As much as we love Omar the construction worker, it turns out he’s not even running the account. Instead, the account was an elaborate ad for Cuvée Coffee, a brand that “coffee lover” Omar frequently tags in his photos.  Read more…

Watch Dogs: Legion has a weight problem. But let’s talk about the game first.

Its ambition is sky-high. After rebounding off of the first game to deliver a best-in-generation sequel in 2016, Ubisoft is back with a third one set in London and featuring a completely bananas premise: Big Brother isn’t just watching, he’s imposed a fascist state.

Resistance is the only way to fight back, and DedSec, the hacker group at the heart of Watch Dogs 2‘s story, knows the gameplan. The difference in Legion is there’s no main character except the one you recruit yourself. All the people of London are there to be recruited, you just have to convince them. Read more…

UPDATE: June 14, 2019, 10:23 a.m. AEST Instagram announced that the platform is “fully recovered” and that “[we] apologize for the disruption.”

In this economy, we all live under the ever-present threat of layoffs and unemployment. That’s even true for iconic video game characters, like the polarizing Mr. Resetti, an infamous character from the first Animal Crossing game.

In an interview with Mashable during E3 2019, Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ project lead Aya Kyogoku officially announced that Mr. Resetti lost his job at the Reset Surveillance Center due to  the upcoming Switch title’s new auto-save function.

“I think this will be a positive thing for the player, because in New Horizons you can stop playing in the middle of your game and it’ll still save,” says Kyogoku. “But unfortunately because there’s no necessity to reset the game or reset button on the Switch, Mr. Resetti had a hard time. He was laid off from his position.” Read more…

It can be hard to convey the danger of abstinence-only sex ed programs, but a new set of trading cards is hoping to do exactly that. 

The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), Advocates for Youth, and Answer, nonprofit organizations that promote comprehensive sex ed, have partnered to create a new campaign called #SRAisAbstinenceOnly. 

The campaign calls out the rise of sexual risk avoidance (SRA) curriculum to teach sex ed. While “sexual risk avoidance” may sound nice, it’s really just a rebranding of abstinence-only-until-marriage, which the new trading cards effectively illustrate. Read more…
