Lindsay Lohan has had a tumultuous career to say the least. Making her big-screen debut in The Parent Trap and then moving onto the critically and commerically successful Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Lohan quickly catapulted to a teen idol status. Perhaps her biggest role came afterwards in 2004 where she starred in the cult classic, Mean Girls. Mean Girls remains relevant to this day and, perhaps looking to stay relevant after a string of DUIs and rehab stints, Lindsay Lohan has told the Daily Mail that she wants to star in a sequel to Mean Girls: Mean Moms.

Mean Girls 2 would be great, it’s something I’ve always interested in doing… it has such a great cult following it, would be wonderful to do something else…All of us should have kids, like a Housewives of… And all my kids are from Africa… we’ve adopted them or something funny.”

I’m not sure whether Mean Girls really calls for a sequel. Is this desire to work on Mean Girls 2 really because Lohan thinks there’s more of a story to tell? Or is Lindsay simply looking for something to catapult her back into the limelight. I’m also a little perturbed by the idea of adopting African kids being a point of humor. It’s possible for it to be funny if the film is written in a way where the focus is on Lindsay and her rationale for these adoptions, but I can also see it toeing the line of being a little racist.

Whether or not the sequel lives up to the original, I’d definitely go see it. Mean Girls has a huge fan base, and even if the film bombed critically it would probably see a decent amount of commercial success. Really all we have is the fact that Lindsay Lohan wants it to happen. The actual production lies in the hands of a studio. We’ll have to see whether Mean Moms ever comes to life, as this is all very preliminary.

Samantha is very interested in all the latest technological advancements and she loves to show it through her articles. You'll likely find her writing about one gadget or another, but she certainly doesn't shy away from science stuff either.

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.

Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.

The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.

Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.

The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.

This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.

Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.

After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”

This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.

Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.

Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
