The fine folks over at Noclip are currently undertaking a huge restoration project, digitising hours and hours of gaming-related footage from a forgotten archive of tapes. If you hit up the YouTube channel, where all of this stuff is free to watch, you'll see old video game trailers, footage of cancelled projects, and old E3 press conferences. Sony's memorable E3 2006 presser has already been restored, and now, its presentation from E3 2010 is now available to watch in the best quality possible.
One of 2023's best-rated shows might have fallen under your radar – but there's still time to catch up
21.08.2023 - 12:41 / gamesradar.com / Best
Produced by Uncut Gems directors the Safdie brothers and telling a remarkable true story, Telemarketers has quietly become one of the best-rated shows of the year so far. The HBO true crime documentary series has scored a whopping 95% critics' score and 100% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
The three-part show follows two unlikely office friends who stumble upon a bizarre truth behind the work they’ve been doing at a call center. Their day-to-day job persuading people to give money to charity is a catalyst for exposing the controversy at the heart of the American telemarketing industry.
"We need to show the world what this place really does," says one of them in the trailer. "The media and the government haven’t been able to stop them, so now it’s up to us."
Most of the reviews so far have been glowing for the crime documentary, which has one of the highest ratings for a show on Rotten Tomatoes in 2023. TIME’s reviewer called it "one of the most exciting docu-series in years" thanks to its approach of "effortlessly dodging, and sometimes subtly parodying, every maudlin cliché of the true-crime genre."
Meanwhile, the Observer says, "Telemarketers is a fascinating portrait of a predatory industry, but it’s even better as a devoted character study, a warm-blooded testament to friendship, and an antidote to cynical acquiescence."
Viewer responses have been similarly positive, with one posting on Twitter: "Are any of you guys watching this? It's fantastic." Another added: "You guys should all watch the new Safdie brothers/Danny McBride produced Telemarketers docuseries because it is fucking insane."
A third viewer puts it simply: "Slapping a must-watch tag on Telemarketers on HBO. If you're on this side of the internet you won't find a more fascinating watch. Absolutely amazing docu-series."
The show has already aired two episodes on MAX after beginning on August 13 and still has one final part airing on August 27. So there’s still time to catch up on what seems to be one of the most intriguing shows of 2023 to date.

The My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies understand family like few other franchises
Even in a world where sequels to successful movies are a foregone conclusion, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 still feels like a surprise. The story that began with 2002’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding, about young Greek American woman Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos), her extremely Greek family, and the hijinks that ensue when she gets involved with a non-Greek man (John Corbett) did not scream “franchise.” And yet it became one, not by repeating the success of the first movie — which still eludes the series — but by centering on a family just quirky enough to feel real, with a light enough touch to keep them from getting too complicated.

Bottoms mocks retro raunchy high school sex comedies — but it still is one
A movie about two students starting a fight club to hook up with hot girls might sound like it dates back to an earlier time: the 1980s circa Revenge of the Nerds, say, or the early 2000s, when raunchy R-rated high school sex comedies like EuroTrip and American Pie (and assorted sequels) were all the rage. But 2023’s Bottoms turns those two students from nerdy boys into lesbians and cranks up the self-awareness a few levels.

X active users dropped, but in big surprise, Twitter Lite downloads saw 350% jump
The rebranding of X (formerly Twitter) was likely the hastiest exercise of its kind ever undertaken. The entire process took three days and involved crowd-sourcing a logo, taking off all physical and digital logos of Larry the Bird and replacing it with the new logo, and even adding a gigantic X on top of the company's San Francisco headquarters. However, such a rapid rebranding often comes with some unexpected consequences, and in this case, it was a lack of spreading awareness towards the new name and logo. As a result, the weekly active users as well as the app ranking on both Play Store and App Store took a big hit. But surprisingly, Twitter Lite emerged as an unexpected winner in all this chaos.
