It Takes Two Celebrates 7 Million Copies Sold
It Takes Two, the critically acclaimed co-op adventure, has reached a new milestone of seven million copies sold. Developer Hazelight celebrated with a cheekily dark joke.
The game features a divorced couple who must make their way through a darkly funny and wacky world after being turned into dolls. It Takes Two was already far and away Hazelight’s bestselling game. It now nearly doubles the sales of its previous title A Way Out. Hazelight showed off the news with a tweet “celebrating the latest amazing milestone.” The tweet features a photo of actor Joseph Balderama, who plays Cody in the game, with the photoshopped presence of giant elephant plushie Cutie, in what is perhaps best described as a contextless spoiler. For those in the know, it showcases the game’s playful and dark sense of humor.

Joaquin Phoenix Struggled With Joker 2's Musical Numbers
In 2006, Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for Best Actor for playing Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, a role that required him to sing Cash’s legendary songs. Phoenix didn’t win the Oscar until 2020 when he was named Best Actor for playing Arthur Fleck in Joker. However, Phoenix’s previous music experience didn’t make things any easier for him when filming Joker: Folie à Deux. According to director Todd Phillips, the pressure of shooting the sequel’s elaborate musical numbers made Phoenix feel physically ill.
While speaking with EW, Phillips said that Phoenix “was sick every day” over nerves because the movie required him to sing and dance on set alongside his new co-star, Lady Gaga. Phillips also credited Gaga–who plays Harley Quinn in the film–with giving Phoenix advice that helped him up his game for those scenes. Conversely, Phoenix was able to give Gaga suggestions that helped her performance as well.
“The truth is, they gave each other pointers,” recalls Phillips. “He…
Joker 2's Lady Gaga Calls Her Take On Harley Quinn Authentic
In 2019, Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips gave the Joker a new origin story, as Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck embraced his new persona. Later this year, Phoenix and Phillips are returning for the sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux. They will be joined by Lady Gaga, who will step into the role of Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn and fall madly in love with Joker. Now, Lady Gaga is offering some insight about her take on Harley.
“Lee is very special to me,” Gaga told Access. “She’s a truly vulnerable, sweet person. My version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters. I don’t want to give anything from the movie away. It’s really something you have to experience in the theater. This film has music, it has dance, it has amazing acting in it. I loved working with Joaquin, I loved working with Todd.”
“I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before,” added Gaga. “So it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.”

Lego Fortnite- Where To Get Marble
For your first couple hours in Lego Fortnite, you can pretty much get by with the stuff that’s near where you originally spawned. But eventually, you’ll need to upgrade to a better class of materials, and that classic granite isn’t going to get the job done anymore. You’ll need the next tier of building material: marble. Unlike the first tier of materials, this stuff isn’t just lying around all over the place. You’ll have to go looking for it.
Where to find marble in Lego Fortnite
Marble cannot be found anywhere on the surface–you’ll need to venture into a cave to find it. You should stick with the temperate caves, for now, because the caves in the desert and snowy regions are probably more than you can handle right now if you’re playing on normal survival rules.
Once you’re in the cave, look for a white rock that’s all over the walls in large patches. It’s everywhere, and impossible to miss. But if you’ve arrived in this cave with a common (white) pickaxe, you’…
Lost Planet 3 Review_1
In the third iteration of the Lost Planet series, some things are gained, and some are, appropriately enough, lost. Lost Planet 2 was a frustrating and beautiful concoction, loaded with grand ideas that all too often sacrificed basic playability. In this mediocre prequel to the original Lost Planet, the frustrations are minimal, but so are the ideas; its predecessor’s variety and visual panache are steamrolled in favor of perfectly decent, perfectly standard shooting encounters. Lost Planet 3 is a difficult game to hate and an equally difficult game to adore. It might feature monstrous aliens, but it never thinks big.
