The zombie that was E3 finally got the blow to the head to keep it from returning. The Electronic Entertainment Expo announced via X, formerly Twitter, that it has run out of extra lives for the convention.
The great Gene Park at the Washington Post broke the story before E3 confirmed the sad news that the beloved convention born in 1995 will not return.
“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close,” the Electron Entertainment Expo said in a statement. “ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
In a post on X, E3 wrote, “After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye. Thanks for the memories.”
The once popular gaming convention has been on life support since COVID came through and shut down the in-person video game convention in 2020. The ESA tried to hand on for dear life with a virtual convention in June 2021 that everyone agreed was a mess.
The ESA did make a valiant attempt to bring the in-person convention back but failed in 2022 and 2023 due to the conference failing to attract exhibitors.
Before the then-raging pandemic officially killed E3, the convention was dying slowly. Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley, who claims he was at every E3 since its exception, pretty much assisted in taking down E3 by founding Summer Game Fest in 2020.
The last time there was an in-person E3 event, only 66,100 people came out.
Gamers Are Sharing E3 Memories
With the announcement, gamers and people in the gaming industry have shared their fondest memories while saying goodbye to the convention.
“I understand why this happened, but it’s heartbreaking all the same. E3 was like Christmas for gamers and having all the conferences take place in one week was such a treat. So many good memories spanning so many years. Thanks for everything, E3,” Sony Santa Monica writer Alana Pearce said on X.
“E3 has had a huge significance in my life,” Spawn On Me founder Kahlief Adams wrote in a post on X.
What a sad day for the gaming world. Attending E3 was a dream for me, and I was close to achieving it, only to learn this year’s convention was canceled.
So long E3.

The world of Fortnite and how players can enjoy it continues to grow. Starting today, loyal fans of the game can now boot up LEGO Fortnite, the latest addition to Epic Games’ ridiculously popular video game.
Thursday, December 7, Epic Games launched LEGO Fortnite, a new survival crating game it developed in partnership with the LEGO Group.
Some are describing it as Fortnite and LEGO’s version of Minecraft, another popular title owned by Microsoft. Instead of downloading a separate game, you can access it by selecting it on the Fortnite menu, just like when you choose the battle royale mode.
Epic says the procedural map players can explore is 19x more significant than the battle royale map, and you can either play in a creative mode where you can build whatever you want or a survival mode where skeletons, wolves, and other enemies will generate.

Players will also have to monitor not only their character’s health but also their hunger and extreme heat warnings.

Fortnite is also famous for the skins it introduces into the game, and that continues to be the case in the new mode. Speaking with The Verge, Saxs Persson, Epic’s executive VP, says more than 1,200 Fortnite skins have a LEGO variant players can use.

LEGO Fortnite Isn’t The Only New Mode Coming To Fortnite
LEGO Fortnite is also the first of many in-game experiences coming to Fortnite. Beginning tomorrow, December 8, players can look forward to Rocket Racing (from the creators of Rocket League) and Fortnite Festival on Saturday, December 9 (from the studio behind Rock Band and Guitar Hero).
The latter will allow players to play rhythm-based games similar to Rock Band and Guitar Hero alone or with friends, as well as songs from artists like Eminem, who just recently got his own skin in the game and was a part of the Big Bang event.
Fortnite sounds like it’s the ultimate place to be.

In more GTA 6 news, people are complaining about the highly-anticipated game having a female protagonist, while some are BIG MAD about the game’s content.
GTA 6 is not nearly hitting shelves yet, but there is plenty of discourse around the game’s first trailer. While most people, including LeBron James, were blown away by how damn good it looks, there is a sect of people claiming the franchise has gone “woke” because it will have a female protagonist for the first time.
[embedded content]
The news of the game featuring a female protagonist isn’t new. Still, for whatever reason, after the trailer was viewed over an astounding 107 million times, sexist gamers are fuming at the idea of having to commit crimes with a woman.
“If the story is well written then kudos but to me this is just another dumb woke pointless thing because which woman cares about gta 6. Trying to appease the wrong crowd,” one X user ridiculously wrote.
Another X user added, “woman in gta 6??? more like wokestar studios…….”
Andrew & Tristan Tate Even Had Something To Say
Now, it wouldn’t be a GTA news cycle if there weren’t people also making a big stink about the mature content in the game. On a recent episode of their toxic podcast, Andrew and Tristan Tate spoke about the game allowing kids to shoot cops, which is honestly hilarious because these are the last two people who should be talking.
Keep in mind the Tate Brothers are currently under house arrest and are facing years in a Romanian prison for numerous allegations, including human trafficking.
Also hilarious is Andrew Tate admitting he has never played a Grand Theft Auto game, and his brother only played the classic top-down version from the 90s.
“Video games aren’t necessarily evil,” Tristan told his brother, adding, “I’m not a fan of anyone under the age of 18, 21 maybe, playing video games where the goal is to shoot police officers.” Tristan had the nerve to give the developers at Rockstar Games advice saying, “I feel like they could put a better objective into these games. Maybe you are a police officer, maybe you are trying to stop criminals.”
Honestly, we wouldn’t be shocked if the developers somehow made fun of these two bozos like they do the other real-life cultural moments.
GTA 6 arrives on PS5, Xbox Series S | X consoles in 2025. There is currently no PC version in the works. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Jonathan Majors’ assault trial is finally underway. The opening arguments were full of damning allegations about the Creed III star, if accurate, that is also providing fodder for jokes on X, formerly Twitter.
Bible in hand, his rumored wife Meagan Good by his side, Jonathan Majors is currently fighting to save what’s left of his name in a lower Manhattan court as his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, tried to paint her client as a victim.
Chaudhry claims that Majors’ ex, Grace Jabbari, only accused the Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania star of domestic violence and harassment because he ended their relationship and alleged racism was behind his March 25 arrest.
But that’s not what has social media in an uproar. It’s what Assistant District Attorney Michael Perez is accusing Majors of doing to his ex.
According to Business Insider, Perez accused Majors, 34, of showing a “cruel and manipulative pattern of psychological abuse” towards his white British ex.
Majors allegedly also “demanded total compliance” from Jabbari and hilariously wanted her to act like civil rights activist and author Coretta Scott King or Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama by “making sacrifices for him.”
Bruh.
Perez also claims that when Majors didn’t get his way, he would go into rages, shouting at Jabbari and throwing objects at her.
X Users Are Hilariously Clowning Jonathan Majors
As you can imagine, X users are frying the actor after hearing Perez’s claims, and rightfully so.
“Yall think Jonathan Majors be telling Megan Good to act like Ruth Bader ?” one X user hilariously wrote.
Another post read, “The fact that I’m 100% certain Jonathan Majors was dressed like a share cropper when he demanded his white woman be more like Michelle & Coretta makes it so much funnier to me.”
LOL.
This trial is expected to last about two weeks, and we imagine more shenanigans will come from it. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Coach Prime, aka Deion Sanders, and producer Tracey Edmonds are calling it quits.
Over the weekend, Sanders and Edmonds announced the end of their four-year engagement and 11-year relationship amicably in a now-deleted post originally shared on her Instagram account.
“To EVERYONE who has been there for us, supported us, and shown us love…We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life AS FRIENDS and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared together,” the couple wrote per The Grio. “Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this transition. Thank you for being there for us ALL THESE YEARS! We love you and appreciate you SO MUCH!”
Sanders cosigned the post in the comment section: “Love u Tracey and You’ve been a true blessing to me. I appreciate the times we’ve shared and [the] laughs we’ve had,” Sanders wrote under the post. “You are an amazing woman and a tremendous mother. God bless u with every endeavor and every step u take. You are HER. Tracey-Mack !!!”
Edmonds put a post thanking everyone for reaching out to her, writing in the caption, “Fam, thank you for all of your beautiful posts, messages, texts, and calls. Even though I’m unable to get back to you right now, KNOW that I’m grateful for them. Your love, support, and kindness REFUELS me! Sending everyone LOVE!”
How The Couple Met
The couple met in 2012 at a movie premiere, and Edmonds initially connected with Sanders, intending to produce a reality TV show about former NFL player turned college football coach.
They “grew quite fond of each other and ended up dating,” according to People magazine, and maintained a relationship despite the long distance due to their busy lives.
The couple didn’t let the distance hamper their relationship.
“[We are] at the age [56] and stage where I don’t think neither of us needs a lot,” Sanders told People. “It’s a blessing, but we understand each other because we’re busy in our own right.”
Social Media Got Jokes
Users on X, formerly Twitter, don’t take anything seriously and have been reacting to the news of the couple’s split. Noticeably, folks have been using the moment to take shots at Coach Prime, who hasn’t had the best first season at Colorado University since starting on a good foot.
“Dang @DeionSanders even Tracey jumping in the portal,” one post on X hilariously read.
Lol, damn.

Rockstar Games set a date for the world to come together and trailer 1 for GTA 6. Those plans changed thanks to some crypto dweebs who leaked it, forcing the game studio to drop it a day early.
Remember when things used to feel like events? That’s no longer the case, with everything seemingly “leaking” now.
Social media was set ablaze when the GTA 6 trailer leaked on X, formerly Twitter. The video was a rip with a crypto dweebs logo plastered across it, but that didn’t stop eager gamers from watching it.
The account that initially leaked the trailer was quickly suspended, with Rockstar Games working hard to pull the videos down.
Eventually, Rockstar Games confirmed the leak and said you know what, f*** it and hit the go live button so fans could enjoy the trailer as it was intended to be viewed.
“Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We’re thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere.”
What Does The Trailer Confirm?
Source: Rockstar Games / GTA 6
The 1:30 trailer, backed by Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road,” confirms the game will feature its first female protagonist, Lucia.
It will have a Bonnie and Clyde vibe, return to Vice City, and take the ratchet shenanigans we loved in GTA V to another level.
“Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet,” a press release read.
The game is also dropping on PS5, Xbox Series S | X, PC is still a mystery.
X Users Are Losing Their Sh*t
Of course, social media is on fire, and the reactions to the new GTA 6 trailer are all over the place.
Some gamers are reacting to the game coming out in 2025, meaning they will have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on the game.
Other reactions are just pure jokes about what Rockstar Games will do to the leaker when they eventually find out who the culprit behind leaking the most highly anticipated game trailer of the year was.
We know Rockstar Games will bring the hammer down on that clown.
But until then, if you haven’t done so already, watch the trailer for GTA 6 below and hit the gallery for all the hilarious reactions.

Peacock has Twisted Metal, Paramount+ has Halo, Netflix has Sonic The Hedgehog and Castlevania, and now Amazon is looking to get in on video game turned television property with Fallout. Now we know what we can expect from the upcoming series.
Amazon has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming series, and it looks like it will be very faithful to the popular Bethesda video game of the same name, accurately capturing the post-apocalyptic feel fans of the game love.
Like in the games, the adventure begins for a young vault dweller, Lucy (Yellowjackets’), who steps outside the comfort of her vault to explore a vast wasteland 200 years after a massive nuclear explosion changed the world forever.

Lucy will also encounter mutated creatures, settlements born from the destruction of massive cities, the iconic militant Brotherhood of Steel clan, an uprising in another vault, shootouts, and the iconic canine companion.

The show, which arrives on Amazon Prime on April 12, 2024, also stars Walton Goggins as Fallout mainstay Ghoul, Aaron Moten as Maximus, Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), and Zach Cherry (Severance).

Westworld’s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will serve as executive producers along with Bethesda boss Todd Howard.
The trailer for Fallout finally arrived after the show was first announced in 2020. Amazon officially got the ball rolling on the show, dropping teases here and there.
Fallout will definitely be on our watchlist.

Mark your calendars! Gamers are excited after Rockstar Games dropped the date for the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6.
After years of trending on social media for absolutely no reason at all, opening X and seeing GTA 6 in the top trending topics finally means something now.
While not saying much, Rockstar Games announced trailer 1 for what is easily the most highly anticipated game in the world, which will be arriving on December 5.
Proving just how popular this game is, just announcing the trailer’s release date sent social media into a tizzy.
“Fast forwarding to Tuesday,” Sony’s official X, formerly known as Twitter account, wrote.
The trailer will also arrive two days before The Game Awards, shutting down the theory that Geoff Keighley had GTA 6 as a big reveal during the show.
What We Know So Far Ahead of GTA 6 First Trailer Release
While we know when to expect the trailer, we still have no idea what this game will look like outside of the massive leak that showed footage from a pre-build.
Rumors also suggest that GTA 6 will see the game return to Vice City, which is Grand Theft Auto’s version of Miami, featuring a female protagonist as one-half of the playable characters for the first time, drawing inspiration from Bonnie and Clyde and one of the most extensive “evolving” maps in GTA history.
Like everyone else, we are excited to see what Rockstar Games has been taking its sweet time to build since GTA V, which has seen life on three console generations since its initial release in 2013 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 console, making it one of, if not the most profitable pieces of media ever.
Until the day the trailer drops, you can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Shannon Sharpe let his lust for Megan Thee Stallion get the best of him.
The ESPN First Take co-host and Pro Football Hall of Famer is in hot water with Megan Thee Stallion’s fans. During the recent episode of his podcast Nightcap with fellow former NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
In the clip that has since gone viral, Sharpe didn’t bite his tongue at all when talking about his attraction to Megan Thee Stallion and sharing in explicit detail what he wants to do the Houston rapper sexually.
“I’d have her stretched out like quarter to three,” Sharpe said before adding: “I do it three ways, Ocho: deep, hard and continuously … I’d have her opening up like saloon doors.”
The fallout from 55-year-old former professional comments was swift. One person wrote on Instagram, “Love Shannon, but this is wildly inappropriate,” they wrote. “He is employed by ESPN. They don’t play that, he needs to tone it down on these types of comments. It’s not the 90s anymore.”
“In light of all the lawsuits, I just want men to chill for a min. Like take a step back from the overt/public sex talk and stories and find something safe to chat about,” another commenter said.
“Giving perv vibes. Please go find something else to do cause this ain’t it,” another person wrote. “Shannon is getting a bit too comfortable. He should relax, he’s giving old & creepy,” another added.
Shannon Sharpe Apologizes To Megan Thee Stallion
Sharpe has seen the criticism and used his Nightcap podcast to address it. While he was still on the joking tip with Ochocinco, he apologized to Megan Thee Stallion.
“I’ll tell you what. If Meg had any problem with anything that I’ve said, let me take the time to say I’m sorry, I apologize,” Sharpe said. Ocho added, “And we love you.”
Megan Thee Stallion has yet to respond, but we’re sure she won’t pay it any mind. Sharpe’s comments come after the “Cobra” rapper took to Instagram to address the scrutiny about her love life and her love for sex.
“It’s like, nobody be listening to my music. They be like, ‘Megan Thee Stallion, I cannot believe she likes to have sex! I cannot believe Megan Thee Stallion f***s!
Thee Stallion also claims she is being stingy with her goodies from now on and is turning over a new leaf.
“But no, I am turning over a new leaf. And I’m stingy with the coochie cat. I’m not a freak anymore. Oh my God. I’m done. I’m done with the streets. So toxic in the streets. I’m tired with the streets.”
We hear you Meg.
